Macheo (Mah-chay-oh)

In the open, sun bathed savannah, sits five great cities and many smaller tribes. In this melting pot of cultures, the eternal sun shines on every tribe in the grasslands, from the blistering cold of the northern tribe in the mountains, to the dusty west near the grand mesa. And at the Waterfalls, stands the capital, a grand city which towers over the surroundings, bested only by the great beacon, which looks over the entire nation, and provided safety and comfort in their darkest hour.
Macheo is a nation in Soirea, located north of the Calidudo Canal, and its guardian deity is the God of the Sun, Safiri. It is a diverse landscape with rocky mountains to the northwest, a lush rainforest to the southwest near and around the macheo river, a large savanna which covers a majority of the east and southeast, and a dry canyon to the northeast.

Structure

Macheo is ruled by a head chief which works in a similar manner to a king along with a council of tribal chiefs and governers from across the nation. The members of the council are as follows:
  • Head chief- A title passed down to each first born regardless of gender. This acts in a similar manner to a king. In the case that a dynasty ends, the next head chief would be chosen by Safiri himself, and marked by a star at birth. Until they are of age, the country would be run by the governers and prime minister.
  • Culture chief- The head chief of each of the five cultures of Macheo. These chiefs organise and rule over the various districts and tribes within their cultures. Normally their base of operations would either be in the capital of their culture or their home tribe.
  • District chief- Head of each district in a culture. Manages the various tribes within each district
  • Tribesmen- Head of a single settlement/tribe. Manages the various affairs of the settlement.
The 10 ministers are the leaders of the various ministries which manage the affairs of Macheo as a whole.

Culture

Macheo is characterised for being home to an incredibly diverse range of cultures across the empire. Despite the existence of the 5 overarching cultures within the nation, each and every settlement and tribe within the culture can have various differences and local customs. One common tradition within all 5 tribes is the existence of heroes. Most likely due to Safiri’s dominion over fortitude and heroes, Macheo has a long history of mythical heroes and warriors. This culminates in the Barikiwa Bingwa games, an annual tournament held in Dhahabu where the greatest warriors from every tribe compete for the title of Barikiwa wa Jua. The cultures of Macheo are as follows:
