After the regicide of cryptid society’s Queen Nessie rocked through the cryptid community, the once hidden society decided to come into the light, and to establish a society for themselves. Having had enough of human oppression and mistreatment, cryptid leaders from all over the world decided to meet in an effort to establish the world’s newest nation, one free from humans, run by a cryptid society. However, nation building is no small feat, and these mysterious creatures will soon face the challenges that come with creating a nation of their own, establishing a system of government, and maintaining a nation in a world that has never been kind to them.
