Campaign Profile¶
Butjupi Confederation begins in Tjibarr as an Oligarchic Republic state led by a Butjupi political core and professing Tide Mothers. Its opening position is best understood through the people, ruler, land, and institutions recorded in the game files.
Starting Ruler¶
No set_as_ruler character is present for this tag in the authored setup files. Accordingly, no ruler is named here: the campaign supplies the officeholder through game setup rather than fixed lore.
Peoples and Cultural World¶
Butjupi belongs to the High Arame culture group, alongside Dirawong, Yadjarri, Dirawong, Yaramajho, Miriwoong, and Tiyan. The culture definition uses the Arame Gang Ye ethnicity set for character appearance. Across the realm's starting provinces, population-weighted provincial culture is recorded as Butjupi (100%). Provincial culture is a broad administrative label rather than a census of every household, but it provides firmer evidence than assuming the entire country matches its court.
Religion in the Realm¶
The state faith is Tide Mothers. Starting provinces are recorded as The Tide Mothers (100%). Game localization describes it this way: “Coastal and aquatic peoples honor the Tide Mothers who birthed the first wave; the sea gives and takes, and every harbor pays her tithe.”
Land, Settlements, and Livelihood¶
At the 1000 LC start it controls 7 provinces, making it a compact regional realm. From Tjibarr, its government must use a limited but coherent base carefully. Province count measures the opening political footprint, not the number or worth of its people. The starting provinces contain 1 city or metropolis. Their population-weighted terrain is farmland (51%), plains (28%), forest (12%), and hills (9%); their leading trade goods are gemstones (51%), horses (12%), fish (9%), wood (9%), stone (9%), and livestock (7%). These records give the country's culture a material setting without inventing unsupported customs.
Government and Army¶
Its Oligarchic Republic places the realm among Omniluxia's non-dynastic polities: public authority is expressed through an office or collective constitution rather than a royal title.
The levy is built chiefly around light infantry (40%), supported by archers (40%), chariots (10%), heavy infantry (10%). This is a statement about the forces available at the campaign opening, not a claim that every inhabitant shares a single martial way of life.
The army profile should be read together with the terrain and economy above: it shows what the state can raise in 1000 LC, while the province records show the communities and resources supporting that force.

Realm at a Glance¶
Butjupi Confederation enters the 1000 LC world from Tjibarr, with a Butjupi political core and Tide Mothers as its recorded faith. Those labels connect the state to the wider cultural record history and to the religious landscape of Omniluxia; they describe the court and starting state, not a claim that every subject has the same ancestry, language, or belief.

People and Belief¶
Primary culture and state faith show which traditions possess official standing at the campaign opening. They also provide the safest canon-grounded starting point for understanding daily identity: Butjupi institutions shape the realm's public face, while Tide Mothers supplies its formal religious vocabulary. Border communities, minorities, and local practice may be more varied than those state labels can show; see Cultures and Races for the distinction between culture and ancestry.
Ways of War¶
The levy is built chiefly around light infantry (40%), supported by archers (40%), chariots (10%), heavy infantry (10%). This is a statement about the forces available at the campaign opening, not a claim that every inhabitant shares a single martial way of life.
Together, the capital, territorial footprint, political form, and levy make Butjupi Confederation more than a colored patch on the atlas: they define the problems its rulers face and the resources with which its people meet them.
