Kingdom of Lugunica

The Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica (ルグニカ王国 Rugunika Ōkoku) is one of the 4 great nations and the country where most of the events of main story take place in.

Geography
The Kingdom of Lugnica is the farthermost eastern country on the continent. The capital city is divided into five who are also known as districts, with the highest and first layer being for royalty, the second, for the nobility, third for economic and commercial reasons, fourth for the average citizen and the lowest layer for the poor, which is also known as the Poor District.

Population
Starting with the Royal Capital Lugnica with a population of around 300,000 in the center, five other large regional capitals with populations of 200,000 to 300,000 are placed around it in a pentagram shape. There are other small cities, towns, villages, and settlements dotted throughout.

Government
Lugnica is also referred to as the Dragon Kingdom Lugnica (親竜王国ルグニカ Shinryū Ōkoku Rugunika), having prospered due to the covenant with "The Dragon". As all members of the royal family are deceased, martial law is currently in effect, with the Sage Council taking over for the time being. In accordance with the prophecy board, five women were selected as candidates to become the new king.

Mages
The best mages of each of the six elements are given a color title (『色』の称号 Iro no Shougou), which are aliases that show their skill with a particular element. These titles were first created when Lugnica reorganized the basis of their magic system following the Demi Human War. Currently, Blue (water) belongs to Ferris, Red (fire), Green (wind), and Yellow (earth) are Roswaal's, and black (yin) and white (yang) are vacant.

Religion
The country worships Volcanica as its national deity and he is bound by a covenant established with the members of the royal family centuries ago.

Amidst all of that, a Demi Human village was involved in a conflict with a Human village, and at a peace conference those sent from the castle were assassinated, leading both sides to claim that it was the other side's fault. The conflict eventually grew until it spread across Lugnica, lasting until the Demi Humans admitted that it wouldn't benefit anyone to keep on fighting, though they still claimed not to be responsible for the assassination.
