Samad Namur

The Samet and Aduas families have ruled over the country for nearly 300 years. Before their rise to power, the Sabrienian Dynasty ruled over the country. Sabrienans were ruthless dictators and greedy nobles. The Sabrienans were overthrown by the Samet Dynasty who came to power in the north of the country and challenged the House of Sabrien for head of state. The result was a civil war of Samet with support of peasants and workers versus Sabrien which had the support of nobles and foreign powers. The Samet Dynasty won the war and has remained in power ever since. The leaders have seldom been oppressive, but are often accused of being too pacifist and defensive. The Kerivaashan war saw the death of Sametians old attachments to the HCE and major losses for the nation. A deep hatred for Isimol and her counterparts has taken foot in the people’s minds. “Reparations”, meant to keep Samet Aduas from growing, have crippled the economy. Communist influence from the north has spread among the populace. Despite all this, the royal family retains control. (1929) In response to the market crash, Queen Kyriene Aduas has been executed by communist revolutionaries and Queen Zayah Samet has taken control of the kingdom. Under her careful guidance, the Royal Army has grown exponentially past its limit set by the victors of the war. In the desert they are hiding supplies, soldiers and weaponry. Abandoned industry in the north has been annexed by the state and is producing materials for the army. Under the guise of ‘agricultural advancement’, government researchers make advancements in weaponry and technologies. Despite the army’s need for heavy production, the populace must remain convinced they are not building up to fool the South. However, Zayah has made immense strides in economic overturn. Large infrastructure projects, such as highways stretching from the north to the south, as well as housing development in the farther reaches in the country. In the search for a better way to exploit Spice from the desert, research has also provided a new method for extracting water. Called the Khalid-Nasser Method, the government has decided to construct a large system connecting the far reaches in the mesa to water reservoirs closer to lakes and rivers. To aid the transport of troops and extraction of desert materiel, there have been developments in desert infrastructure. Spice extractionists also believe to have found oil reserves in the east desert.
