The northernmost nation where it snows nine months of the year. Taiga’s primary export has always been vivid and beautiful dyes and pigments produced from the unique grasses native to its tundras. Hundreds of years ago the natives lived as nomads herding thick-wooled sheep and yak. Their livestock would feed on these grasses, and the dyes would naturally work their way into the wool of the sheep.
Dyes could also be found in natural ore deposits and mines, sometimes called “the underground aurora”. When traders from southern countries learned about these beautiful pigments, there was a massive demand for them. Companies from Deepwood Country built rail lines snaking up into the northern tundra and created supply chains between the new mining towns where dye deposits were discovered. Miners, workers, and criminals flocked to these boom towns, known colloquially as “Blooms”. Blooms were often named for the color of the dye being mined there, such as “Redwood Run.”
As competition to gain control of the blooms and dye grew, fierce skirmishes broke out between trade caravans. Cowboy-like rough riders were hired to defend the claims and rail cars transporting valuable goods. Shootouts in the snow were almost a daily occurrence.
It wasn’t to last, however. After a decade or two, the dye flowing south from Taiga had finally saturated the southern markets, decreasing demand to almost nothing. The prices fell further and further until eventually many of the bloom towns were abandoned altogether, leaving little behind besides a series of rail lines crisscrossing the tundra.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/396057667463806977/399703537992466432/936748901661298728</ref>
The world to the south mostly forgot about Taiga country, but the natives had made out well from the crisscrossing and were intrigued by the cultures that had touched their icy homes and used their newfound wealth to invest in the arts and sciences. Talented foreign workers seeking a new start traveled north, hearing whispers of a bohemia forming somewhere in Taiga country where they were free to experiment with more progressive ideas. Slowly, a town grew on the southern coastline and eventually became Sweet Jazz City, the most prominent hub of art and science in the world. Sweet Jazz’s most distinct feature is its skyline: massive buildings multicolored blue and indigo with pigments from up north woven into the glass. The “iron aurora”, is a nod to the city’s dye-mining origins.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/396057667463806977/399703537992466432/936748962734546994</ref>
