Nations
Nations are clusters of cities and territories within the boundaries of the larger entity. While such political boundaries are not into the design of the MUD, they are useful for quests and quest series, as battles may enact the constant shifts of boundaries. Such nations include a complex web of alliances, historical animosities and player allegiances. While many cities and most zones do not belong to a particular nation, they may experience influence from one of the several nations or be subject to an invasion and occupation.
