-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History: Arixo was originally a military base serving as the center of command for The Black Hand's Air Force stationed in a small village, charged with defending a Black Hand Mining Facility. But when being given an order to exterminate the native population to make way for strip-mining, the majority of the Air Force personell deserted, breaking off to warn the local population. They repelled the invasion force and settled in the village. With the sudden increase in population, the economy boomed. Eventually the village grew and grew, until finally being officially recognized as the independant nation of Arixo. They retain much of the structure and organization of a military base.
Arixo's small size forces it to depend on hit-and-run tactics and geurrilla warfare.
Info: Arixo's rough landscape and unforgiving mountains makes building roads difficult, if not impossible in some areas. The people of Arixo have been forced to resort to aerial transportation. Zeppelins and single-engine planes have become more common than land-based transports.
