Huma (Sedentary Humans)

Huma is the name used for the nation of Humanity in the Sedentary Humans scenario. Like China it's a land of many dialects and while united at times has fractured in other times. It arose from the unification of various city states early in Human history. Free states, such as island nations do exist outside of Huma as Huma sees little need to stay in touch with such lands. Huma is as of January 1, 2018 (OTL's Calender) aproximately 20 million square kilometers.

The Great Barrier
The Great Barrier as it's known is a walled fortification; actually a series of many walls built over many years of gradual expansion. During times of Fractured states portions of the Great Barrier are controlled by rivaled states.

Politics
Huma during earlier times was a land of city states with the typical government consisting of a proment Matriarch, and her Husband (the Protector); and elders of the promenent family. The Matriarch has always been in charge of civil and domestic matters while the Protector has been reponsible for the security of the state. Huma, once united, has carried on a similiar government with what we can call an Empress and Emperor serving as diarchs with separate duties but a shared responsiblity to the state. Under them has always been a council responsible for law keeping. Due to little desire to move or travel Humans have in this timeline traditionally favored governments that don't require them to be very active; delegations are uncommon and thus the idea of having to send represenitives to some capital doesn't appeal to them. They prefer a natural government such as the hereditary one they currently possess.

Culture
Huma has traditionally been very passive, and with only mega fauna to contend with and the occassional period of disunion has largely remained peaceful. Human ancestry having also lead to a more agricultural life style though one with little interest in Hunting which seems to be too much work. Forced labor, for the benefit of the state, has been practiced as Humans are typically not very motivated and prefer casual or gradual efforts. Activities are slow in Huma, with board games being a popular family pass time- especially games that can take more then a day to conclude and require more then two players. Music isn't very energetic, it's rather relaxing. Gardening, and meditation are common.
