Poppistan is one of the most historically interesting districts of Vrassa. It's capital, Razar, was the original capital of the ancient Vrassan Empire, and during the Odoronan and Anantan Empires served as the site of the coronation of the Floob (Emperor). Razar's position as the capital of Vrassa was unchallenged for centuries until the capital was moved the Anantonese colony of Vrassa City. It is still a point of contention that Razar and its hinterland as considered seperate from the district of "Vrassa Proper." Poppistan is also home to Red Pass, the largest pass through the Vrassan Mountains, of great strategic importance in the many conflicts Kalistan has had with Jahmaika and Lodamun. Seven battles have been fought in the Red Pass, many of them the decisive battles of wars.
