Leazas Culture

Geographical Location
The Kingdom of Leazas is located on the north east side of The Continent, and is the second largest nation of the world in terms of territory, topped only by the Helman Empire. A steep mountain range located at the borders prevents easy invasion from Helman, and the Parapara Fort blocks the entry from the Zeth Kingdom.

In addition to its broad territory, Leazas carries a rich, fertile land that allows them to establish the strongest agriculture in the world, which grants them a very solid economy. Filled with forestal areas, a very large river on the northern part of their territory, and ideal climate conditions for cultivation, Leazas is capable is by far the world's greatest agricultural producer.

The Capital is the Castle of Leazas, a large city in the center of the Country where the Leazas Royal Castle was built hundreds of years ago by Gross Leazas. It is the most wealthy city in Leazas, full of opportunities and establishments such as a Casino, weapon and item shops, and a Military Academy to train as a Knight and join the Leazas Army.

Society
 Around 50 million people live in Leazas at present. Most of the population of Leazas is concentrated in large urban settlements, though smaller centers such as villages and towns can be seen all over the land as well. Of the three main countries, Leazas is the one that boasts the biggest physical diversity among its citizens with a vast range of variety and with little noticeable physical traits. The people of Leazas, however, tend to have light skin tones and a wide selection of hair colors.

 Citizens' clothing vary immensely as well and, while the national color of the country is Red, even the Leazas Army is noted for being divided in different units named and classified after colors. The national emblem of Leazas is a strangely shaped "L", which stands for Leazas. It is primarily displayed on the flag, in uniforms, and it is found in many of Leazas.

 They are also decently developed in terms of Magic Research, though not nearly as advanced as a Magic Kingdom like Zeth, but more so than Helman or the Free Cities. Due to this, Leazas typically imports magical items from Zeth and, thanks to the wealthy state of the country, their innovative products such as Magicvision have become a common ware even for the average Leazas citizen. They also trade with the Free Cities, as they are an important supplier of raw materials.

In the capital of Leazas there's an exclusive and widely known Coliseum Tournament where countless fighters and adventurers fight in a huge stadium in an attempt to rise as the champion. It gathers many different fighters of a wide variety of disciplines and fighting styles, joining either searching for fame and glory, or simply in an eager attempt of battling powerful opponents and test one's skills. It is a very popular event that is watched by many people and even broadcasted through Magicvision. Some soldiers take part as well in order to give the audience a spectacle and promote a more enjoyable event.

The tournament's champion has been for a long time the now well-known gladiator Yulang Mirage, but it's also featured other highly talented fighters like the adventurer Rance or the future Champion of the Toushin Toshi Tournament, Alexander.

Relations with other Countries
Due to its history and origin, conflict with Helman is frequent and have had as many as 7 Wars in total since its foundation, but it makes up for this by being one of the safest countries from the Monster Realm, as they are very far from them and other nations are in between, allowing them to enjoy peace when not at war with the other major nations.

Most of the time, Leazas hasn't seen any conflict with the Free Cities Alliance and are in good terms with most of Free Cities due to the beneficial trading both sides can utilize. Despite this, the current Queen Lia Parapara Leazas is constantly eyeing in these territories unaffiliated to any major nation due to her ambition to conquer The Continent one day, however, she's very cautious and has never made a move against them yet. The only time in which Leazas invaded the Free Cities was in the non-canon Kichikuou Rance under the leadership of King Rance, who was pursuing a path of world domination.

They have held a non-aggression pact with the Kingdom of Zeth and have largely remained neutral with each other for many years. The only war against Zeth took place in GI0888 when the Magical Country attempted to invade Leazas in an effort to escape from the Monster Realm, as they had suffered several large-scale invasions from Demon Armies. The war, however, ended in a peace treaty after the King of Zeth was assassinated and the two countries never saw conflict with the other. Trading has been very beneficial for both sides for many years, and their relationship has been fairly solid, though never one of allies. After the Fall of Zeth in LP0004, thanks to the adventurer Rance, Leazas has been supporting and fund Zeth to help them recover.

Like in most human territories, the influence of the AL Church is very prominent and commonly seen in their daily life. Weddings, funerals and other such ceremonies are handled by priests of the Church, and their doctrine is taught on schools.
