    Rumour has it that it is accessed by going to a nudist beach blindfolded, then drinking a glass of Chardonnay and humming Ode to joy. You will fall into a slumber and wake up soon after on a beach in this mysterious country.

      Exactly.
      You can tell this by it not being holy, not Roman, or an empire. It’s just their thing.

    This is Medici, where they speak Interligua, a sort of blend of Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian and where the world’s largest natural source of bavarium was found. I remember reading about the revolution a few years ago that ousted the dictatorship that got powerful on the back of Bavarium mining. The US was caught blatantly supporting both sides, but the revolutionaries won and now they are a democracy again.
