-There are many regions in Redistan. As the Region you were born in is now selectable, it is a gameplay mechanic too. It can be worth coming up with a plausible backstory for your character, as you may be questioned on your home locale should you ever venture through the gate. The 'Great Five' cities were once THE CAPITAL, St. Redersburg, Redlin, Redbury and Redbourne. ''This is not an exhaustive list of the regions in Redistan, only the ones that appear in the character creator.''

 '''THE CAPITAL''' - A sprawling, stacked mess of a city. Endless, heaped slums hug the coasts and ports of the city with some of them, such as the Spaghetto, becoming what is essentially a self contained city. Gargantuan elevators transport cargo and people to the upper levels, housing the hundreds of Ministries and other organisations keeping the necrotic bureaucratic heart of Redistan pumping. Society here is quite stratified, as the various stratas of Gules restrict the upper levels entirely to themselves. The majority of Redistan's Gules live here, enjoying a life of joyful ignorance and endless entertainment. A particularly popular pass time here is show business. Gules love their matinees. ''It would take an entire week to reach THE CAPITAL by boat from where Reborn takes place.''

−	This brings us 41 years later, to the time of Reborn. GREAT LEADER lives, ruling Redistan righteously from THE CAPITAL in the western reaches of Redistan. Redistan still stands, but it finds itself in a state of turmoil. Without an external threat such as the Blusnians, a small minority of people find themselves questioning the harshness of GREAT LEADER's rule. These people are collectively known as Separatists. Most simply want to separate themselves from GREAT LEADER, form a Redistan of their own. Others, in the extreme minority, reject their Red identity entirely, pronouncing themselves to be the successors of the Blusnian state. Infighting is common amongst Separatists as they all have differing ideas on what they want to achieve. While small uprisings were common over the past four decades, it is only now that it has become problematic. A large scale uprising was attempted in Eastern Redistan two years ago and although it was extremely bloody for all sides involved, it ultimately failed. Last year, one of the Great Five Cities, Redlin, was reduced to rubble after months of fighting. Although it was thought the destruction in Redlin would have an adverse affect on many Redistani people, pre-existing conceptions about the city made most write it off as 'inevitable'. Regardless, the Separatist threat in Redistan is very much still alive and not to be underestimated.	+	This brings us 43 years later, to the time of Reborn.

 Currently, there are two. '''PGT''' and '''BBC'''.
-PGT is standard time. The current year is 042PGT. Some may just write it as 042 or informally '42.
+PGT is standard time. The current year is 043PGT. Some may just write it as 043 or informally '43.
 BBC stands for Before Blusnian Capitulation. It is counted backwards. The year 010BBC is ten years before the fall of Blusnia. It is not correct to write such a date as -010PGT, but some like to do it regardless.

-'''THE CAPITAL''' - A sprawling, stacked mess of a city. Endless, heaped slums hug the coasts and ports of the city with some of them, such as the Spaghetto, becoming what is essentially a self contained city. Gargantuan elevators transport cargo and people to the upper levels, housing the hundreds of Ministries and other organisations keeping the necrotic bureaucratic heart of Redistan pumping. Society here is quite stratified, as the various stratas of Gules restrict the upper levels entirely to themselves.

 '''Warmongrad''' - The quietest big city in Redistan, Warmongrad is seen as a giant retirement home more than anything else. This city is located close to THE CAPITAL and as such, has no slums. It evicts all its poor people to the Spaghetto. Most people from here are the children of gules, grew up servicing them or were taken in as apprentices by bored retirees.

 - '''The Italians''': The Post-Italians are not foreigners. They are simply Redistan's only ethnic minority. Although many may consider them lesser, an Italian is still a million times better than a Blusnian, because an Italian is a Redistani all the same.
-- '''Gulean Qualities''': People with redder shades than you (carmine, vermilion) are paying a subscription fee to a governmental department to be deemed so. They have more money than you, so they are better. Those people are known as gules (or gulean), a patriotic term for a proud depiction of the colour red. The term 'noble' or 'nobility' has fallen out of vogue in Redistan due to a recently uncovered connection to Blusnian patterns of thought.
