Welcome to Ravvi
On the ancient Ravvi Islands, inhabitants are seperated by a series of unique countries/lands, and there are no known lands beyond their own borders. The Midgar Sector is located on the northern most of the islands. These slums contain those who are contaminated with the Geostigma. On the mainland there are three main sectors including Zanarkand, Alexandria, and Dalmasca. The Balamb Gardens, like Midgar, is located on their own separate island where youth are given the opportunity to train in combat.. Of all the sectors, Alexandria is one of the most old fashioned, along with Dalmasca it’s streets are roamed by the mages and sky pirates of lore. Like Midgar, Zanarkand is on the contrary a very modern city where Blitzball is popular amongst most teens and the adults hold high superior business jobs. Recently though, the old countries have become scarcely populated. More and more of their citizens are dissappearing to the island of Midgar, with claims from the government thay they ahve been infected with the Geostigma. The geostigma is a disease that began in Midgar, where the lifestream is gathered. The lifestream is a valuable force of life but it has strengths when come in direct contact with people, thus the reaction of an infection on the skin called geostigma. Though it is not contagious geostigma has become a worlwide phenomenom bringing fear as the lepers once did. All those infected have been force to leave their homes for the island of Midgar. It is only hopeful that one day a cure will be found.
Military
Soldiers on Ravvi have been placed meticulously throughout all the islands, although they are trained mainly at the Balamb Gardens. In Midgar the soldiers stand guard at the gates to keep those infected with Geostigma inside the sector, and everyone else out. They also patrol the streets in Midgar. Other responsibilities of soldiers range from simple law enforcement to security forces. Currently there are positions available in ALL of the branches to protect every area and the citizens that live there.
Government
The Ravvi islands, other than Midgar of course, are ruled by either queens/kings or other Royal Leaders. Due to their lack of an organized government Midgar has had many problems finding a safe living environment. Citizens only form of protection there are the security forces assigned by the academy at Balamb Gardens.
Corruption
Recently there have been many rumors of faulty government systems ruling in the Ravvi islands. Some of the Geostigma infected citizens have started escaping from Midgar, although their disease has not yet proved contagious amongst the other sectors. Many of the blitzball players, because of their celebrity reputation, have also been rumored causing corruption. They pay off the government just to get their way. Other corrupted citizens include sky pirates, thieves, evil organized cults.
