Cardinal

Cardinal is the most reknowned country on Earth. Located in the central Northern Hemisphere, and entirely laying claim to the continent of the same name, this country is where the vast majority of all role play in Alternate DBZ occurs. It is often equated to IRL North America. Due to Cardinal's open-door foreign policy and aggressive aeronautics campaigns, compared to the rest of the world, almost all space travellers end up going through or to Cardinal when they land on Earth. Consequently, Cardinal also receives the brunt of almost every extraterrestrial invasion that arrives on Earth.

Cardinal was, originally, the only land mass in the world, before the events of The First to Fall caused the obliteration and reformation of Earth. This, in turn, was a direct copy of a map of the planet Earth in the Dragonball manga. City names and many canon landmarks are direct descendents from the manga map, as well. During the Pre-Null eras, a single empire governed the entire world peacefully, known in Alt as the World Empire. With the recreation of Earth, the World Empire turned into a democracy known as Cardinal.

The government of Cardinal, known as the Directional Council, is considered the fairest in the world. This is in spite of the occasional political struggle for freedoms, liberties, and justice, often centered on the age-old feud between the hopelessly outnumbering mortal men and the ever-growing body of power wielders.
