Kingdom of Sqwxzz

The Kingdom of Sqwxzz (pronounced Skwixs)
Sqwxzz is run by the Slyg hivemind. The native Slygs are a parasitic hiveminded race. My race will act as one machine with a few distinct personalities, but anyone in particular may be any one personality at any time.

Geography: The area is mainly desert although the borders bordering other countries are mainly forest and grassland. All Slyg cities are underground. Their capital, Sqwxzz is located underground somewhere in the middle of the desert. Other cities, Slkzz(NW), Smvxx(NE), Strkx(SW), and Slwzz(SE) are located in the four corners of the region. The economy is run mainly off of mining and fishing.

Swazighers: The only other creatures native to the area. They are small hedgehogs that can spontaneously burst into flame. Used mainly as scouts by the Slygs although in dire times are quickly recycled into food.

History: Sqwxzz was founded by the Slyg Hivemind around 678 years ago after they first made contact with sentient species. Being a parasitic race, this means that they infested one, gaining all knowledge inside of this creature. This increased their intelligence exponentially allowing them to set up governments and learn the languages of the kingdoms surrounding them. They set up in one area that had been abandoned because of its lack of arable land. They quickly multiplied and within the last few years managed to take over some forest/ grassland areas due to "aggressive diplomatic negotiations". Living mainly underground, they quickly discovered many precious stones underground. Realizing their worth, they mined these and used them as their main source of trading income. Their main food is fish, however they can go several days without eating if necessity dictates it. However, this tends to lessen the lifespan of their host (usually 5-20 years), so it will only be done if absolutely necessary. The entire populace is employed by the Slyg Hivemind bringing money allowing them to purchase any technology and knowledge of other neighboring kingdoms they deem necessary. The greatest asset of the Slyg populace is its ability to remember and access any piece of information that any one of the Slygs have ever had access to. This nation is viewed with mistrust by other nations, as Slygs can easily impersonate any other race as long as they have access to one body to infest. Slygs are recognizable only when they speak in either Sqwxzz which is nearly unrecognizable as a form of speech or when one speaks in another language in a voice in the back of its throat.

Military: The entire nation of Sqwxzz is a militant force. Any Slyg is capable of creating large poisonous spikes from their body which they use as their primary weapons.They are not warlike unless provoked and have told this to other nations. As of now, relations are peaceful.

And so we say to you: Mv vjt chp Let this begin.
