Shrijavti
Gummint: Maharajate (Empire)
Mythos: Hindic <Indonesian> <Malayan>
Leader: Yaharanku Palwara
CAPITAL: Kuala Lumpur (Pop.: 50k)
Other Cities (and pop.):
Bandung: 40k <WH40K>
Bukittinggi: 15k
Djakarta: 85k
Malacca: 25k
Medan: 15k
Padang: 10k <ISIS>
Palembang: 20k
Penang: 15k
Singapore: 105k
Surabaja: 55k
Loc.: Azir
Language: Malayan
Pop.: 6,000,000
Flag/Emblem:
Flag:
A golden croc,
mouth agape, armed
&& eyed red on a green
field.
Coinage: G: catty; S: bat; C: selung; B: tical.
Companions: Rajahs of Java && Sumatra, Prince of Singapore, clerics,
nobs, officials, etc.
Friends: Camcham.
Foes: Burma, Thailand<Siam?>, various island native tribes, pirates.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: Piratical themselves, the Shrijavtians
are always subject to piratical raids from the savage natives ov
southern && eastern islands. They must also fight continual
skirmish-type actions against insurgent natives. There is much
skirmishing w/ Siamese regulars as well. Burmese ships are a
TARGET for attack.
Intrigues: Eastward xpansion into Borneo is bringing some Pana
Sulu influence. Southwards, xpansion towards Magmur has brought
contact with the mongrel Lemurians there. Plans, plots, intrigues, &&
machinations already rampant in this racially admixed realm are
certain to multiply && grow still more sinister.
Artifacts/Relics: It is re-ported that Shrijavti holds the Claws ov
Khampol, the Five-Symbol Rosary, && the Doom Drums.
Alignment: Chaotic Good <garaths>
Thumbnail Sketches: Shrijavti occupies the lower portion ov the
Malay Peninsula (approx. 60,000 sq. mi.), + parts ov the
islands of Sumatra (approx. 160,000 sq. mi.) && Java (approx.
50,000 sq. mi.), && hundreds ov smaller ones (ov unknown
extent surrounding them). Because it is thus a realm ov the southern
Azirian mainland && the Hindic Ocean's great islands, too, it has a
very diverse character. Most ov the land ov the empire is mountainous
(bassically granite) && forested || jungled. There are numerous
volcanic areas, too, but active volcanoes are rare. Such fauna as
elephants, 2 sorts ov rhinos, tapirs, wild bison, deer, antelopes,
various apes, monkeys, && boars, ++ tigers, leopards, dogs, pythons,
cobras, && various sorts ov crocodillians constitute the variety
ov large game && animal life there. Generally, the coastal regions are
where cities, towns && villages are found. In the mountains &&
jungled interiors ov this land, only tribal rule exists.
The civilised volk are ov a very mixed sort, w/ Eastern Azirian
(Yellow) predominating, but that is strongly influenced by Hindoo
admixture (Brown race w/ White admixture) && some native
Polynesian (Brown) Black race, too, for there were small, scattered
aboriginal tribes ov such sorts which were absorbed || displaced into
the interior--|| fled eastwards && southwards to other islands--in
bygone times. Some number ov the tribes are ov Malay race, too. The
volk are basically ov a homogeneous sort now called the Malay.
However, the nobs are mostly ov Hindoo type && culture, although
the influence ov the Malay is seen even in the royal bloodlines &&
court. Slavery is common in the land, && prisoners ov war, wild
tribesmen, && criminals are frequently so condemned, but otherwise
all citizens are freemen. The society is based partly on feudalism
&& the caste system, partly on a plutocratic arrangement. The savage
interior tribes are, of course, quite indifferent to social class, killing
any && all strangers they are able to w/ absolute equality. What we
know ov the land is more from its native traders than from informants
sojourning there. Pirates infest the waters of Shrijavti,
&& bandits are endemic. To this must be added the savage tribes populating the
wilds.
Shrijavti produces abundant quantities ov rice && maize. Peanuts,
veggies (sweet potatoes, yams, cassava, etc.) && fruit (coconuts,
duriens<>, breadfruit<>, oranges, lemons, guavas, etc.) are mainstays ov
the diet. Export crops incl. tobacco, cotton, copra, rubber, coffee,
tea, && indigo. Much ov Aerth's pepper (black && white), nutmeg,
mace, && cocoa comes from this land. Resins, gums, rare woods,
medicines && drugs are forest products ov note. Small horses ov fine
quality are known. Livestock incl. fair cattle, buffalo, goats,
swine, && poultry. Fish is a very large portion ov many natives' diet.
Mines yield gold, tin, iron, manganese, coal, && bauxite. Gemstones
ov many sorts are found in Shrijavti. Fair quantities ov ruby,
topaz, jasper, moonstone, && vargaardites (cf. Earth's labradorite)
are produced, w/ minor quantities ov diamonds && sapphires also
coming from this land.
