PLOTTING.
This is where your official plotting goes. Before posting in anyones thread, remember to ask them first. Also, make sure they are nice and pretty, and don't muck up the cleanliness of the board. White pages is a great place to start, maybe even make your own. This is not mandatory, still, I don't want my head bitten off by plot-page crazies. So here they are.

CENTRAL CITY.
The bustling capital of the country and seat of power of King Bradley. From here, Central Command also runs the political affairs of the nation. Central is the seat of government in Amestris. The National Central Library, Central Command, the 5 National Laboratories, and Amestris' Parliament are all located in Central. Aside from its symbol as a military headquarters, Central is also a bustling metropolis and arguably Amestris' largest city, complete with nearly everything Amestrian society has to offer as well as a lasting and rarely disturbed sense of peace created by its proximity to the government's imposing presence.

EAST CITY.
Located in a backwater region near the desert, East City is the home base of Colonel Roy Mustang and his entire outfit. It's reasonably close to Reole and Resembool, making it a sort of central hub for some of Ed and Al's adventures. Though considered by many as a "backwater" place with little future, East City boasts what is recognized as Amestris' strongest offensive force. Having the closest proximity to Ishval, the Eastern Military was the main bulk of the Ishvalan civil wars; experiencing its soldiers considerably. Much like the northern Briggs' soldiers share a special bond with their leader, East forces hold Lieutenant General Grumman in very high regards.

Located to the south of Dublith, it is a place famous for its sightseeing and tourist attractions, making it a popular stop for traveling foreigners and the like.

WEST CITY.
West City is a city in the western region of Amestris and serves as the military command headquarters for the area. Though little is known about West City and the area under its jurisdiction what is known is that West HQ's forces are frequently in direct conflict with the neighboring country of Creta over the location of the national border. Western military forces are also said to have an impressive number of troops, all adept in guerrilla warfare.

NORTH CITY.
North City is a city in the Northern region of Amestris and serves as the State Military command center for the area. Located to the south of the Briggs Mountain Range, North City is a picturesque town blanketed in snow for much of the year, belying the fact that the sinister dealings of Central Command have taken deep roots there. As the crucial Fort Briggs is rather difficult to achieve by normal means of transportation, military personnel attempting to make contact with the fort must first stop at North HQ and either take the main road on foot or await official escort from Briggs itself.

FORT BRIGGS.
Briggs is the infamous mountain range located at the northernmost point of Amestris' northern region. Due to its immense height and breadth, the mountains of Briggs serve as a natural barrier along the border between Amestris and its neighboring country, Drachma. This merciless chain of peaks is also home to and namesake of one of the Amestrian State Military's most distinguished garrisons, "Fort Briggs". Due to its northern climate and mountain altitude, the Briggs mountains in the northern region are snowy year-round, creating a landscape that is described by some as consisting entirely of black and white, but in the winter especially, the already fickle temperatures fall well below zero into frostbite-inducing or hypothermic territory and terrible blizzards roll in frequently without warning. With conditions like these, human habitation is clearly impossible - at least in normal or extended terms - but the frigid sierra is not entirely devoid of life. While flora appears sparse, some species of coniferous evergreens thrive in abundance in the low-to-mid altitudes and the Briggs ecosystem is home to several animal species as well - including eagles, small rabbits, mountain deer, wolves and Briggs Mountain grizzly bears, which are nationally infamous for standing roughly three meters tall on their hind legs.

LIOR.
The State Military's lack of oversight in Lior, combined with the strong religious sense of the citizens (in this sense Lior is similar to Ishbal), made it possible for an ambitious man named Father Cornello to institute a sort of theocratic government with himself as the unquestioned ruler. Fashioning himself as a prophet of Leto, the solar god of Lior, and as a miracle worker, Cornello promised riches and everlasting life, even resurrection of dead loved ones, for those who followed him. Envy, a shapeshifting Homunculus, impersonated Cornello and took his place, claiming that the Cornello that had just been deposed was an impostor and that he was the true prophet. Cornello's followers were now divided. Some, like Rosé, refused to believe that God's purpose for humans was to turn them into an army of fanatics. Others believed in the false Cornello, remaining loyal to him. Civil war engulfed the city.

RESEMBOOL.
Resembool is a rural town in the southeastern region of Amestris on the banks of the Rain River. Though small and relatively isolated, Resembool is well known in the region as a sheep-farming town and chiefly exports wool to be used in the manufacture of military uniforms. As such, the town had begun to grow in size due to its various successes, but in 1907, during the Ishbal Civil War, Ishbalan terrorists attacked Resembool with explosives due to its military connections and reportedly destroyed everything for several blocks surrounding the train station. The station was rebuilt and Resembool was able to get back on its feet, but its growth was stunted by the attack and has since remained a small town. Each year, Resembool holds a large Sheep Festival to celebrate the start of Spring.

DUBLITH.
Dublith is the town where Izumi Curtis lives and works. It is located in the center of the southern region of Amestris and like most of the south, boasts relatively high temperatures. Dublith's main tourist attraction is Kauroy Lake, in the middle of which is Yock Island, the place where Edward and Alphonse learned the meaning behind the alchemical concept All Is One, One Is All after a month of survival training.

DRACHMA.
Amestris' neighbor in the north, recently signed a non-aggression pact with the nation, though relations are strained at best. However, the two countries are separated by the Briggs Mountain Range, which helps the two countries in hindering another full-scale engagement, due to the fact travel across the mountains is dangerous, which makes it hard and risky to wage a war over them.

AREUGO.
Aerugo is a nation that borders Amestris to the south and continually engages in territorial skirmishes between the two countries. Notably, Aerugo involved itself in the Ishbal Civil War by providing Ishbalan soldiers with small arms whose model numbers had been effaced. But when Ishvalan refugees implored Aerugo to grant them sanctuary from the massacre, the Aerugonian government balked at assisting them and disavowed all knowledge of smuggling in weapons. It is currently involved in a war with Amestris. Aerugo is apparently run by a monarchial government, as it has a royal family.

CRETA.
Amestris' neighbor in the west has strained relations with the nation. Due to Creta's internal problems and descentralization, Amestris has been able to acquire some regions and cities, though most of them do not accept Amestris domain willingly. Amestrian eastern boarders have some particular "hot spots" under dispute, such as Pendleton, although Creta is not openly at war against Amestris.

ALTERNATE TIMELINES.
This is where you can thread about what could have been. Maybe if your charter had made a choice, or said something differently. Maybe you and someone would like to thread your characters relationship to see what it may be, or could have been?
