Dingian Polt

Dingian Polt, also known as the Catinent, is a continent on Anoterra.

Society
Dingian Polt is the only continent on Anoterra that lacks a royal family. However, it did have a king prior to the evacuation.

History
Thousands of years ago, Dingian Polt was populated by Oviphomos, like anywhere else on Anoterra. When Earth cats were introduced to Anoterra to be pets and help keep pests at bay, they inhabited Dingian Polt exclusively, but were introduced to other countries quickly.

However, over the next few years, several of the Earth cats escaped and became strays. The stray cats bred at an unbelievable rate, expanding the population of wild cats to a huge number and the Oviphomos couldn't keep up, with Dingian Polt becoming overrun with wild cats. They also started to change in behaviour, becoming aggressive to Oviphomos.

Once the first death of an Oviphomo due to the cats was recorded, the Oviphomos attempted to get the wild cats under control. This ended badly as the cats kept breeding, growing in numbers and many more Oviphomos were killed by them.

The King of Dingian Polt formally decided to give up trying to get the wild cats under control and ordered all inhabitants to abandon Dingian Polt and take measures to ensure that it doesn't repeat in other countries.

To this day, Dingian Polt (now called commonly called the Catinent) is overrun with wild cats, now evolved into modern Anoterran Cats. The population of Anoterran Cats on Catinent is estimated to be at least three billion and the continent itself is feared due to the savage behaviour of the inhabitants. Other countries faired better with the Anoterran Cats, being an uncommon pet and a few strays with some aggressive behaviour, but they are nowhere near as threatening as the ones in Dingian Polt.
