	The Sinking Lure ('''TSL'''; officially The Serene Republic of The Sinking Lure) is a small, archipelagic nation in the northern Sea of Subculture. Situated between the much larger nations of Zeldafront and ZRPG, The Sinking Lure (TSL) consists of ten islands: three major provincial islands, six territorial islands, and one loosely-connected protectorate. The three major islands, Eldin, Faron, and Lanayru, hold most of the country's population, while small communities exist on the Territories of Twili, Dinraal, and Peak. Ordonia, the country's lone protectorate, has a population rivalling that of Eldin, but has rejected several proposals to become a full province. The country's capital, Tslonia (se'loʊːniə; suh-low-nee-a), is located along the southeastern coast of Lanayru Island, and is also the country's largest city. Each province has a regional capital, and each territory has a village or small town that is capable of interfacing with the larger country around it.

			== Overview ==
	The Sinking Lure is notable for its simple architectural style and relative lack of modern technologies. Outside of the major population centres, most Lureans live as farmers, raising crops and wildlife among the idyllic environments the archipelago boasts. The population is peaceful, almost pacifistic, in nature and generally uninterested in the happenings of the world outside of their own borders. As such, the islands have become unofficial nature sanctuaries, with a majority of the forests, lakes, and rivers untouched by the pollution of modern life.

	We can add an image as the next section of the nation's display. This image can be a picture that represents the subject matter or a map of where it is located in the world. In this example, we're going to use '''<nowiki>File:~~TSLMap~~.png</nowiki>'''. We'll need to specify how we want this image to render. If no specification is added, the image will be rendered at its full resolution, in this case that would be ~~one thousand~~ pixels. Add this specification by attaching a vertical pipe and the number of pixels wide you would like it to be. Try not to disturb the natural shape of the template. The recommended setting is 225px.

	The Separation War consisted of the two major powers within the country coming to a disagreement over policy, and the Wisdom of the time leaving the Citadel and retreating to Nohansen. After eighteen months, the major population centres were simultaneously destroyed and a majority of the population was killed. It is assumed to be the work of high-level forbidden magic, but very few people were left to fight back or investigate the aftermath. During the ensuing chaos, the Courage of the time left the country to work as a politician within the nearby Empire of ZRPG, leaving Power alone with the handful of survivors to find a way to rebuild. Currently, the borders are closed and news from inside the archipelago is almost unheard of in the wider internet.

'''Faron''', the final province, is a rich and verdant forest.

Practicing sustainable woodcutting practices, the people of Faron Province ensure that the forest will remain essentially untouched, while new trees are able to cycle through their own lifespans. The regional capital, Fygores, is a small, shady village along the northwestern coastline, across from Tslonia, and exists mostly as a trading port with the rest of the country.

Aris is only barely large enough to be classified as an island, but is growing due to the active volcano on the island. It currently has no soil and cannot support crops or life. Twili has a small fishing outpost, being the most removed territory, and is the source of a majority of deep-water seafood in The Sinking Lure. Terminae is overgrown with jungle, and has been abandoned since the original outpost on the island was overrun by predatory wildlife and several dozen Lureans were killed.

	The Sinking Lure is traditionally ruled by a Tribunal of mages, one from each province, and a small legislative branch of representatives from each island to petition for local needs. Like all powerful mages in TSL, the Tribunal go by pseudonyms to protect their true names, and operate within various seats. The representative of Eldin inhabits the seat of Power, while the representative of Lanayru holds the seat of Wisdom and the representative of Faron holds the seat of Courage. Each mage ostensibly has equal standing and power within the realm, though traditionally Power and Wisdom have traded off who guides the direction of the group's mandates. Currently, there is only one remaining member of the Tribunal, Siv (Seat of Power), who held the seat during The Separation War and ensuing destruction. Judicial decisions go through local magistrates, with a high court existing within Tslonia, based off of the Almighty Legal Page, a document that coincided with the founding document of the country, What Have We Learned.
