Alright, it's been a long time coming, so here is the overhauled/expanded loredoc for /wg/: https://rentry.org/writhaven
Archiveanon, if you could replace /wg/'s current lore rentry with this one, that'd be great.

That reminds me, since /wg/ tends to be pretty holo-centric I imagine we have a good amount of imports and exports to exchange with holonations. However, due to the distances involved, I think it would be better to work with /nasfaqg/ as a middleman to handle shipping these goods back and forth. I haven't looked into what we have for natural resources yet, so for now the main export would be our written works. A company interested in selling these over on the holocontinent would be operating primarily out of our eastern ports in the NameTBD Gulf, with the opportunity to construct some warehouses and private docks at one of our harbors for their ships. For imports, there would likely be demand for a large range of items from people wanting to recreate the lifestyles of their homelands. Though in this case it might be easier for local /wg/ companies to sail out to /nasfaqg/ themselves and strike deals for what they need.

Only >>20621170 is /wg/. My impression is that the other post wasn't coming from a rep at all, just someone who had written lore and wanted to share their opinion.

History:
/wg/ started out as nothing more than a rogue band of warriors ousted from their homeland for their overzealous glorification of violence. This small tribe roamed the lands in search of a new home, picking fights and making enemies everywhere they tried to settle down. This led to them being booted out of territory after territory until they finally found a place to call their own in what is now /wg/. These original members of /wg/ were obsessed with inflicting and receiving as much pain as possible, believing it to be the only way one could experience the richest and purest sensations that life had to offer. This would all change, however, with one citizen's discovery of a new use for the chuubanite native to the area. With the proper preparations, one could ingest the chuubanite and harness its energy to receive prophetic visions from the patron deities closest to them. The First Prophet journeyed throughout /wg/, telling all of what he had experienced, and his tale quickly spread like wildfire among the people. It captured their hearts and imaginations, revealing new sensations that all the pain in the world had not been able to give them. Clearly a change was needed. Swords and whips were put down in favor of scrolls and quills as the people of /wg/ turned to this new source of inspiration and wrote down their scriptures to be consumed by all. In more recent memory, there was an event known as the Nightmare Omen, where on one fateful night, a singular terrible vision came to all the citizens of /wg/ while they slept. Upon awakening, the people were filled with rage and terror, rampaging through the streets as they attacked imagined enemies and friends alike. For most, the aftereffects of this strange vision faded by the next day, leaving many confused about what had happened and concerned about how to prevent another such catastrophe. Though there were some among the populace who seemingly never recovered and continue to ransack and pillage in a blind fervor.

Society:
Life in /wg/ today reflects both its violent beginnings and newfound passions. At a young age, the children of /wg/ are subjected to a battery of tests to determine their aptitude for one of two roles: battler and oracle. Those who do not show signs of being suited to these tasks are returned to their families to live their lives, growing up to fulfill a wide variety of occupations. But for those who are selected, an intense training regimen is laid out for them. The future battlers are trained to endure under excruciating levels of agony and to deal it out in equal measure. Those who are destined to become oracles are taught how to harness the powers of chuubanite to bring forth all manner of visions to be shared amongst the populace.

Government:
Though not literal prophecies of the future, the visions oracles receive are important sources of advice and warnings of what is to come when interpreted correctly. For this reason, the nation's top oracles serve as a committee which runs /wg/. Amongst themselves, a leader is elected and given the title of Archbishop, a position he keeps until death. The Archbishop and the other highest-ranked oracles thus form the governing body of /wg/, using their visions as a guide for their decision-making. Though there are rumors that some of these members are taking bribes from unknown sources to give out prespecified visions.

Trade:
Unsurprisingly, the chief export of /wg/ is the scriptures divined by its oracles. The fetish nations comprise one major font for trading, as there is no shortage to their hunger for more tales of their deities' debauchery. As the culture surrounding the oracles and capturing their visions grew, so too did the industries most closely related to that practice. And so /wg/ is also a large producer and exporter of parchment, pens, and ink. The forests in the northern half of /wg/ provide much of the nation's paper and lumber needs.

Cities:
Omelas is one of the largest and most populated cities in /wg/. Founded at the site where the First Prophet made his discovery, it is considered the cultural center of the nation. Rentry is the capital of /wg/ and home to the Grand Library, a massive structure dedicated to storing the many scriptures produced by the country's oracles. Legends say it was constructed by a single man, determined to provide a place where all the works of /wg/ could be accessed by anyone who desired them. Though some stories have been rumored to be lost forever amongst the Grand Library's numerous labyrinthine shelves, those who dare to venture deep enough into its collection are sure to find what they seek eventually. Dusbin is a small bustling town in southern /wg/. Settled by a combination of /wg/ and /asp/ citizens, it is one of the first sites of the collaboration between these two nations. The Google Docks are a large network of harbors along /wg/'s western coast, handling the bulk of /wg/'s trading as well as housing a number of fisheries.
