Daligash, formally the Republic of Daligash, is a large country in the south-central part of the former Omban Empire, and is the largest and economically most powerful of the Omban successor states. It is bordered by Lake Bunduga and the Khurorgos Mountains on the north. Its neighbours are Choradan (to the west), Malfan (to the south) Omba (to the northeast), and Taizi and Khutu (to the north). Its population is around 3,000,000 in total.
After the fall of the Empire in 338 IE, Daligash became an independent monarchy. However, the old Kingdom of Daligash that succeeded the Empire has long since gone extinct, and in general, the power of the noble lineages has waned and wealth, however earned, is the source of political authority. Wealthy citizens buy their way into elected senatorial positions affiliating with one of two great factions, the Bronze and Ruby, and decisions are made by Senate councils consisting of these plutocrats of various genders and social classes. The Senate currently has 174 members, although that number fluctuates over time. There is still a nobility but it has no legal privileges, although some of the noble lineages are still quite wealthy. Membership in the Bronze and Ruby factions is in principle an individual decision, although there is a social expectation that one will follow one's lineage, and cross-faction marriages are controversial when its members are wealthy or politically significant.
