Hibiscus is a quaint village located in the remote, far southeast reaches of the world. With a population of approximately 30 people, this secluded community is known for its rich musical traditions.

History

Hibiscus was founded in the 1820s by intrepid Enpeecee explorers who ventured into the uncharted territory of the southeast. This region was largely unexplored, and the establishment of Hibiscus marked the beginning of the village's intriguing history. As the Enpeecee explorers settled in this remote location, they began to build a close-knit community based on shared values and a deep love for music.

Cultural Significance

Hibiscus is renowned for its vibrant musical traditions. The village has a rich heritage of folk music, where residents gather to play various instruments and sing traditional songs that have been passed down through generations. The melodies of Hibiscus reflect the villagers' deep connection to the natural beauty that surrounds them, including the lush flora that inspired the village's name.

The hibiscus flower is the emblem of Hibiscus, symbolizing its vibrant and colorful culture. These flowers grow abundantly in the village, adorning gardens and acting as a source of inspiration for local artists and musicians. Hibiscus music often incorporates the sounds of birds and the rustling leaves of the forest, creating a unique and harmonious atmosphere.

New Orange Protection

In 2022, Hibiscus faced a growing threat from the expansionist ambitions of various nations. The fascist nation of Zhensk and its hordes of orcs were attempting to seize small native villages like Hibiscus for territorial gain and exploitation. In response to this danger, Hibiscus, along with two other villages, Beef Stew and Lanolin, made a crucial decision to seek protection under the nation-state of New Orange City.

New Orange offered Hibiscus and its fellow villages a sanctuary from the looming threat of Zhensk. The villagers opted to become dependencies of New Orange in a bid to safeguard their unique culture, peaceful way of life, and independence.

However, history took an unexpected turn in 2022. The fascist nation of Zhensk, which had posed a significant threat to Hibiscus and its neighboring villages, tore itself apart and collapsed. This sudden turn of events raised questions about the continued need for New Orange's protection.
