== Overview ==

Bakuland is a barbaric country comprised of many disparate tribes and clans, which loosely federate over larger areas ruled by a warlord.  The warlords of Bakuland fight constantly with each other in hopes of rising to the ''Bakh-a-Nur'' – The Chief of Chiefs, the Great Warlord of Bakuland.  

This position comes and goes over the regions history, depending on the ability of one of the warlords to defeat enough of their rivals and bring the rest under their sway.

Currently, there is a ''Bakh-a-Nur'', who notionally commands the loyalty of the warlords.  

Bakuland is engaged in a war with Ûgozh to the north and with Axoria to the south.  The wars have been costly and resulted in minimal gains and plunder, which is eating away at the ''Bakh-a-Nur''’s prestige.  The other warlords have detected weakness, and there are plots afoot to dispose the ''Bakh-a-Nur'' and either take the position or send the entire region into chaos again, its normal state of affairs.

Bakuland has few permanent settlements in it, as the Baku are primarily a nomadic people.  Many of the functions that civilization would normally handle in a realm are provided by the independent city-state of [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/Blackport | Blackport]].
