Ageenthum
Ageenthum is a multi-racial country established on Ixar by the travelers via planar gates on the Eastern shores of the Sunshadow Continent.
The capital of Ageenthum is the city of Eston.
Ageenthum is governed by a caste of administrators, or rulers - the highest caste. Other castes are warriors, traders, land owners, sea workers, manufacturers, and servants. Each caste is hereditary and ruled by the elders. People are expected to follow the profession they were born into, and associate only with those of equivalent status. There are rivalries between the families within the same caste, such as between the ruling and aspiring dynasties, different warrior clans, etc. Mobility between the castes is not allowed; one is supposed to bring all their talents into the purpose they were born into. Cast outs are shunned and stigmatized.
Caste system is blended with the flourishing bureucracy.
The economy is planned with government claiming ownership of all the assets. This is combined with palatial trickle-down system. Corruption is high, and proximity to decision-makers decides the success or failure of any enterprise.
Culture
Ageenthumians are first of all expected to forgo any private talent or individual ambition, and follow the path prescribed by the castes. This is considered the highest form of service to the community. They don't see their way of social organization any better or worse than other society types. In fact, they are extremely curious about other cultures.
Part of service to society is planning for the future generations first, and taking care of the immediate needs as they appear.
