It's gentle slopes are home to the bulk of Autochthonia's minimal natural agriculture (most people survive on a bland nutrient paste culled from tubes in Autochthon's inner walls), hosting both game preserves for Lunar's to hold Hunts in and farms for its livestock*. The lower reaches of Nurad are a chaotic jumble that form a breeding ground for demons lying low after breaching the outer shell. Useful Hammer is from Nurad. |

Kamak is a small nation housed in many small chambers, and its population is low. Unlike most of Autochthonia, two things are common in Kamak: privacy, and marriage. Almost all Kamaki marry, and live in small, insular apartments, although child-rearing and religious activities are still conducted communally, to avoid the residents from growing too far apart. This, coupled with its wealth, cause most nations to view Kamak as wealthy, decadent, and out of touch with the common Autochthonian. Kamak's orbit near Autochthon's outer shell also puts it at increased risk of demon incursion. Saibok Miles is from Kamak. |

The prayers of Jarish are collected and redirected to feed both the surviving gods of Creation, the Ex Machina of Autochthon, and to increase the motonic respiration of all Exalted. Large refineries have also been built, to sculpt and reshape Autochthon's sub-ministers into shapes the Deliberative finds more useful. Diamond-tooth Jane is from Jarish. |

Gulak's citizens are organized into Clades, which are somewhere between giant families, street gangs, and religious groups. Gulak also has the largest population of any nation, and the largest ratio of Mortal to Exalt. Mortals are granted higher standing in Gulak than anywhere else. Gulak also serves the finest food in Autochthon, and has the best trained entertainers. Caska is from Gulak. |
