Thumbnail Sketches: The territory ov Kutch contains some 25K
sq. mi. ov land. The realm is one which reaches from the high hill
slopes below the Himalayas N ov Bhutan && W ov Assam, down
to the valley plain ov the bend ov the lake-like Brahmaputra River.
Thus, it is a land ov beautiful scenery && breathtaking mountain
vistas, for the highest mountains ov Aerth can be seen in places in the
N, which much ov the rest ov the land is covered by unspoiled
forests && rainforests filled w/ all manner ov big && small game, from
elephants && rhinos, to monkeys && colorful birds.
The volk are much intermixed w/ hill tribes, so they are a
combination ov Brown, White and some minor amount ov Eastern
Yellow race, w/ none predominating above the original Brown
inhabitants, but all evident nonetheless. Both caste && tribal social
structures are intermingled to form the culture ov Kutch. The aristocracy
is dominant in the lowlands, but above, the volk pay service
as much from respect as from any particular enforcement.
Rice && wheat are the chief crops ov the lower portion ov the realm.
Sugar cane && cotton are also cultivated, along with a variety ov
veggies && fruits. Tea is a major crop in the upper region ov the
realm, && the stuff is prized in many lands. Poultry && goats
are maintained by forest-dwellers, while below, buffaloes for labor
are added. Forest work generally employs elephants, for some valuable
timber is harvested from Kutch.
Some coal, iron, && gold come
from a few mines worked under royal grant. A few corundum gems ov
small size are taken annually by native prospectors, && it is thought
that there might be some quantity ov these stones yet to be found.
