Polove is a nation in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world, homeland of Saphirette Spherica and the base of the Elementalist Association. It is presumably located somewhere on the main continent. Previously, it was either an anti-monster or neutral state [1], and its geography was mostly barren wastelands which were unable to manifest an elemental. Its position is also lacking in any strategic value, which is speculated to be the reason for the Order's refusal to provide aid.
Saphirette, who was an apprentice scholar at the time, attempted to heal the land using four pure elementals, but was unsuccessful. Aware that mamono mana can increase elementals' powers, she ventured into a mamono realm and was monsterized by fusing with a dark matter. She returned to Polove and began pouring mamono mana into the earth, converting it into a nature-rich Mamono Realm.
Even though elementalists used to be rare due to a lack of elementals, in recent years, mamono elementals have been increasing in number, and the elementals themselves have begun to act aggressively to get a covenanter, a husband, so the number of elementalists is on the rise, which eventually enabled the Elementalist Association to be established within Polove.
Overview
As an aside, my homeland was a country extremely scarce in the elements of the natural world. There were no elementals whatsoever, the wind stopped, it was a struggle just to obtain water, and there was an expanse of barren wastelands where crops could hardly be grown. Both the people and the state were utterly destitute. We requested aid from the order of the Chief God, but we were refused, perhaps because my country had no resources, and was of no strategic value whatsoever geographically. [2]
