The White Coast Settlement is a large parcel of land on the Eastern edge of Chordas that was officially given to the Shifters by the Genus Extrication Accord of 2772 from the nations of Skinkwood, Tantalia, and Toro. Originally most of the area was covered in low-lying marshlands but the Shifters have worked it into farmable land and a suitable home for their people. The nation is a representative democracy, ruled by a governor, who is elected by the city councils of the towns of the White Coast.
