Awesumton- AWT Awesumton is a historic relic of the past with a history stained in blood and overwhelmed with hatred. This countries origin remains a mystery since it was often ravaged with war that would lead to the burning of the documents of the previous rulers. Then a clan of assasins was put together by the king of the country to protect himself named the Sheikah. The Sheikah were a secret and often corrupted organization. Eventually the organization began to move to take over the country once the newest king started to move against the organization and spoke of having them disbanded for the country to make peace with it's rivals. As the news became more public the people started to take sides on wether or not for the group to be removed. Soon a new group of rebels that sided with the Sheikah saying that the organization was the countries only means for protection and the king was trying to have the country overthrown by complying with the countries enemies. The few supporters of the decision were often tried as spies and tortured and killed by the revolutionists. Soon the country was divided and began to fall into civil breakouts and officially declared a war zone recently. The country currently has two flags one being the official State flag and the other being the rebel flag. Which ever side that does win will decide the fate and future of this foresaken land.

In Awesumton, there are two major environmental problems, both stemming from the massive industrial presence on the island. The first issue is an obvious problem, that being air and water pollution. Factories and cars are a large part of the city, and the pollution caused by those is a major problem and contributes to a lot of smog. The other major problem is the nuclear power plant and the waste it generates. The government has used the mountains to bury atomic waste for years, and even a slight amount of leakage can cause radiation poisoning among the poorer classes living in the mountains.
