'''Vallos''' is a region without a local power, the closest having been the [[Loa Empire]] (which consisted of lands that are now a part of modern-day [[Almadaria]], [[Rumahoki]], [[Takatta Loa]], and [[Vallejar]]). Surrounded by [[Sarpedon]] and colonies of those even further it is a tropical paradise for bigger nations. The area is defined by its diversity in climate, geography, and population, but also the array of living conditions and conflict. The latter brings out the ire of the stakeholders in the region: [[Burgundie]], [[Caphiria]], [[Cartadania]], [[Pelaxia]], and [[Urcea]]. Burgundie exercises its influence through [[Equitorial Ostiecia]], Caphiria through its [[Province of Caphiria|overseas province]] of [[Vespera]], Cartadania via its [[Administrative divisions of Cartadania|island state]] of [[Porta Blanca]], Pelaxia via its proximity to and more recent history on the subcontinent, and Urcea through its protectorate of [[Arona]]. There also exists the island of [[Eileada]] which has been under the rule of [[Faneria]] continuously since the late 1960s.

Culturally, Vallos is a rich tapestry and has often seen the convergence of the [[Crona|Cronans]], the [[Polynesian people|Polynesians]], and the [[Latinic people|Latins]]. This in turn has led to the emergence of ethnic groups that take pride in their mixed ancestry to some extents. However, it must be made clear that just because the people of Vallos are more likely to be of mixed ancestry it doesn't necessarily mean that the subcontinent hasn't had its fair share of chauvinistic ethno-nationalism and xenophobia. The most notable, and perhaps the most infamous, being from the [[Delepasians]], [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]-speaking people who claim descent from the [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]], who for decades took part in a [[Navidadian System|system of institutionalised racial laws]] designed to deprive the [[Loa]] of civil and political rights until it was forcibly dismantled in the 1990s.
