Volkanita has been isolated from the rest of the [[Colonies]] for much of its history, both geographically and culturally.  The mountains of [[Colonies/Hilly Holes|Hilly Holes]] to the west, and swampy river delta in the north make getting to Volkanita a difficult prospect at best.  Most traders are reluctant to journey so far out of their way to reach the area, so there is little interaction with the outside world.

Politically, Volkanita has exchanged hands several times between the realms of [[Outer Tilog]] and [[Alebad]], and currently belongs to the latter.  This cycle of Tilogian oppression and Alebadian generosity has caused the Volkanitan people to resent most outsiders, regardless of their motives.

When not fighting off a takeover attempt, Volkania offers plenty of unspoiled wilderness and pristine beachfronts for enjoyment.
