Its capital is 'Onáp'aañ.

Geography

Should be big enough for dialects to thrive

Pop culture

Modern Sjowaázh pop culture is dominated by comic books, animation and video games. It grew out of the influence of Naquian theaterism, native theater and literature, and modern global pop culture.

Society and politics

In the past, Sjowaázh society was strongly stratified by hereditary class and occupation. Today, one's class is also determined by education and the schools one went to, in addition to one's family background. Sjowaázh politics, which tends center-right, is significantly influenced by the class system.

Religion

[Sketch]

The Sjowaázh traditionally believed in a "spirit-complex". The "spirit-complex" links all spirits together; spirits leave it when a person is born, and his spirit reenters the spirit-complex when he dies.

This spirit-complex is held to be the source of morality. Since everyone is of the spirit-complex, morality involves both respect for the living and the dead.
