Kaen - Fire Nation

Kaen is a land of industry and technological advancement. The Sento-ki have long been able to use their fire techniques to create machines that simplified tasks. After more time, they simplified their regiments into using pure mana to be burned in boilers that would create mana steam to power machines. In it’s purest form, it was a much more efficient version of steam power, using gaseous mana instead of liquid water.

With such technological advance, Kaen has grown to be the most wealthy of all the 7 Nations. This is what they pride themselves on. The Second Rida-ki, the one who oversaw the start of the industrial revolution, consciously chose to shift his reign from a political one to an economical one. This has trickled down to the following Rida. Compared to Shio and Chikyu, Kaen is vastly nonpolitical. Kaen tends to oversimplify affairs with other nations down to a business deal. But within their own Nation's borders, they carry some of the most leniant laws for their citizens. Very progressive.

Before the Senna Order, Shio and Kaen were often the two Nations that guided the others around in the 30 years of peace. This of course was ended when Mushoka attacked Kaen and broke the peace. This is when the Nations started to really show their differences. Shio, Kaen, and Azayaka were the first three to leap into battle. Shio to protect Kaen, and Azayaka to fight their sole enemy. It was only later when Chikyu entered the battle. Soyaze only followed out of fear of being one of the few Nations to not help, for they knew they were in no position to defend themselves. Shokando never entered the battle.

Despite Kaen’s wealthy status, it does not remain on top of the socioeconomic ladder of the Seven Nations. That spot is held by Shio. Shio was the nation who brokered the peace and since that day they have led and guided the nations to keep it. It is also said that before the previous Rida died, be predicted the betrayal of Mushoka.
