Ideology played a major role in Asdoh. It viewed itself as a progenitor of [[ Western Dantrian civilization|Western Dantria]] and together with Yammoe competed for the dominant role in the east.

== Technology ==
+
[[Bontyloh Romonoh]] was one of the earliest kings of Asdoh and authored a number of scrolls which outlined the vision for a new world. It included Asdoh as the "head of the new land: its teacher, parent and guiding light".
 +
 
 +
As a result of this decree, Asdoh built its power and influence on the advanced knowledge and technology that was exported from Dantria. Unlike many of the [[Dawn]] pioneers, Asdohns retained a lot of the Dantrian knowledge. Asdon architects, engineers and philosophers were available for hire by other states in Tarnaria, but the sharing of knowledge was strictly prohibited, which even led to a number of specialists being kidnapped. This, in turn, prompted Asdoh to have its experts be accompanied by troops. The famous architect of his day, Myloh Fosod, who built the famous palace in Nadd, was said to have arrived to the construction with a whole army.

=== Transportation and communication ===
 +
 
 +
Asdoh was notable for building wide and flat roads out of red stone, known as "red roads". This technology is believed to have originated in [[Western Dantrian civilization|Western Dantria]]. It was largely lost after the dissolution of the State of Asdoh, although the [[Empire of Barud]] used a similar technique. It was equally lost when Barud was overrun by [[Stogen]] in the 2nd [[CSR]].
 +
 
 +
These roads allowed for much faster travel and communication, which also led to a wider distribution of cities and settlements, since it was possible to reach larger cities and water supplies from farther away.
 +
 
 +
=== Trade and commodities ===
 +
 
 +
Asdoh exported a number of highly valued commodities, most notably its papers: hemp paper, banana paper and silk paper. Grains and fruit were other major commodities, including the banana and tomatoes.
 +
 
 +
=== Architecture and engineering ===
    
Asdoh was a major soft power in the first revolution, with Asdohn scholars, architects and artisans being in high demand. Almost every major palace in Tarnaria before 2 [[SR]] had been built by Asdohn architects.

At the same time, Asdoh did not export its knowledge and its educational and vocational systems were strictly limited to its citizens.

Asdoh's own technological level was an export from Dantria. Unlike many of the [[Dawn]] pioneers, Asdohns retained a lot of the Dantrian knowledge.

Asdoh was a monarchy that was somewhat reminiscent of a system later seen in [[Leykarya]] and generally believed to have originated from Dantria.
 +
 
 +
The land was ruled by several royal families, the representative of only one of which would be the actual gole (king) at a given time. A complex system determined who would be the next gole.

+
The composition of the royal house, as well as the system of nobles was the basis of what became [[Hogloh vy Aanoh]], a ranks system widely used in Tarnaria throughout the first and second centuries, until gradually replaced by the assemblic monarchy.
