- Regarding the geographical location of the country, I think everyone knows, as well as the fact that Aster has a rather small population. The latter is explained by the fact that some of the inhabitants leave for other countries, but there are practically no newcomers, even merchants rarely visit. But it's understandable, these lands cannot be called friendly, especially the deserts that are nearby. Going to Aster is risking your life. But there are also some advantages. Many people don't need to work, as most of the workforce consists of skeletons. Outside the country, almost no one understands such customs, but for us, this is quite a normal thing. Sometimes loved ones pass away early, and our rituals allow us to correct this. This is, of course, not exactly what one would like, but isn't there anyone who wouldn't want to bring their loved ones back from the other world and have the opportunity to communicate with them again? However, this does not mean that the returned relative becomes immortal, and there is always a chance of losing them, this time forever. As for the people, since they don't need to work, many engage in some kind of Creation, science, and other activities that they enjoy. But again, this does not mean that everything is so rosy. If you love fun and festivities, you will be disappointed. The inhabitants of Aster are accustomed to a calm and peaceful life; perhaps many would consider life there quite boring, but it depends on personal preferences. But at least people have more rights than in many other states. We have no slaves, and the cities and villages are governed by elders, who are elected by the citizens. In my opinion, it's a rather fair system. If you are interested in anything else, feel free to ask.
