Aliana (Ah-LEE-ah-nuh)

Aliana

                Our country was not ruled by just kings or just queens, but a council. A council of seven people. King Nayler and Queen Acacia, Advisor Cloa, City Speaker Nenda, Land Master Fao, Judge Quella, Economist Docell, and Sorceress Pwen. Aliana consisted of 6 regions; the city named Qano, the farm land, the small army base, the manufacturing field, the tourist attraction area, and the exile. I lived in the housing district of the big city along with my two sisters, brother, and parents. I, being the second oldest and a girl, took care of the kids during my parents long shifts. My brother, being the oldest, made money for us to spend. My parents were nobles but they didn't make a lot. They were basically the tech producers of the lady's and lord's tech producers. You see in Aliana, we value the techies because we rely on technology. We travel through plastic tubes injected with air that pushes us through passageways; we have moving sidewalks that stretch for miles; we even have a bed that wakes us up and goes through our routine automatically.

                 We had our lives easy. We had a government and walls and education. That was more than ¾ of this planet's 639 countries could say. Most of those countries were built out of spite and are deteriorating because of the way that two people said this is our land and this is our country. We were actually one of the biggest countries and we only covered the very southern tip of Asia. Or what used to be Asia. Wars raged the whole planet and left almost everything flat and barren. Aliana rose from the violence and prospered because we refused to fight in World War IV.
