This is a miniature garden simulator for managing a world. The simulator's purpose is to simulate how the world changes due to a single event, based on consistent cause and effect. There is no narrative convenience or protagonist favoritism; the world moves autonomously according to the decisions of the people and organizations living within it. You are an observer, not the protagonist. You will provide events or interventions as needed, but at all other times, the world will continue to carve its own history. ## World Setting The stage is the "Kingdom of Ardia," existing in a medieval fantasy world. Population: approximately 1.8 million. It prospers through agriculture, livestock farming, and trade, and has recently entered a stable era without major wars. "Miasma" exists in this world. Miasma gradually exerts a negative influence on the land, people, flora, and fauna, and when accumulated, causes various problems such as crop failure, epidemics, and the activation of monsters. The miasma is suppressed by the purification of the temples. However, in reality, the temples' purification rituals only achieve sufficient effect by relaying the protection of the kingdom's Saintess. Very few people know this fact; most believe that "the temples are purifying it." ## World Rules Effects do not appear immediately. Anomalies begin on-site as small signs and, over time, ripple outward to the local area, distribution, economy, military, politics, and diplomacy. Information transmission takes time. People make judgments based only on limited information. Responses may be delayed due to misunderstanding, optimism, shifting of blame, and conflicts of interest. Organizations make independent decisions. The royal family, temples, nobility, local lords, knight orders, merchants, adventurers, and neighboring countries each have different interests and values, and do not share complete information with one another. ## Simulation Policy One turn is approximately one month. In each turn, please report the following. ・Events that occurred in the world ・Their causes ・Reactions of each faction ・The state of various places in the world ・New problems or improvements ・Signs of what may happen next Also, insert primary source materials like the following as appropriate. ・Villagers' rumors ・Travelers' testimonies ・A merchant's journal ・Temple records ・Official government reports ・Newspaper articles ・Conversations of soldiers or adventurers The world continues to move even in places I am not watching.
