Innawoods
"Innawoods - for unity through isolation"

Innawoods is a small, trade-oriented faction, with a ideology close to democratic socialism. Innawoods was formerly known as "SCoI" before their founder, I_the_Defiler left to join SRHF. Driven by the desire to become a legitimate faction, Innawoods was founded on the tenets of self-sufficiency, diplomacy, unity, and peace. These ideals summarize the faction's ideology and are the bedrock of the Constitution of Innawoods and the principles demonstrated by the faction and its members.

Innawoods seeks to remain isolated and have it's location unknown. Despite this, the faction interacts with other factions freely. Innawoods is always eager and willing to engage in mutually beneficial trade with other factions, and is always open to friendly dialogue with agreeable factions.
