Each country's entry contains:
- terminology for that country
- the capital city
- the current monarch
- the coat of arms for that country
- what kinds of nobles are found in that country
(After the monarch's name you will also find the monarch's name in Sturian. Sturia's legacy means that many important figures will sign their names in Sturian. This is especially true of Collegiate clergy, for whom the Sturian legacy is strong.
Note: the Sturian place-names all end with "ae" because they are in the genitive case. To find the nominative case, remove the trailing "-e". Thus "Allondell" in Sturian would be "Allondia".)
