Overview

Hindia is to be found in the south of Central continental Alusia. The peoples of the middle and eastern Hindia are largely nomadic following large herds of buffalo across the prairie The capital is located in the western mountains where a set of trade routes connect. Elephant herders are to be found west of the mountains in the rainforest that has been created by the mountain range. Large mineral deposits are to be found in the central desert for those willing to endure the harsh climate. Hindia's major trading partner to the north is Ruska. They also have a loose military co-operation agreement.
