Bikka-Laimiek is part of the former Kingdom of Bikka. Following the Bikkan Revolution, a theocratic government was installed, and aggressive expansionist wars were launched, which concluded in the annexation of the bulk of the once-independent Tlyk Kingdom. The bulk of the population lives along the northern and southern coastal regions, with much of the densely-forested interior being sparsely-peopled. The Emaluk Basin is especially thinly-popuated.
