==Geography==
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, it was part of [[Makabakam]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}▼
Alm is a small nation bordered by [[Yezier]] and [[Liafor]]. It is also adjacent to [[Shinovar]], although the two nations are separated by the [[Misted Mountains]]. Most of Alm's territory lies between a large river and the mountains. It also has a small coastline on a bay connected to the [[Aimian Sea]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
Alm has an area around 144,000 km<sup>2</sup>.{{17s ref|blog|634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|date=2018-08-30|name=RosharAreas}}

[[Steen]] and Alm reported the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], which worried [[Ghenna]] and the government of [[Tashikk]].{{book ref|Edgedancer|14}}▼
As a member of the Azish Empire, Alm is self-governing, but recognizes the [[Prime Aqasix]] as their emperor and generally follows Azir's lead in international politics.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|65}}
Since Alm's population is ethnically Makabaki, its people generally have dark skin and hair,{{book ref|sa1|19}} and the local language is presumably a variant of Azish.{{wob ref|3977}} Alm and the nearby nation of [[Desh]] are considered to be more rural than other Azish nations, and local fashion consists of clothing that is lighter than that of their neighbors.{{book ref|sa2.5|4}}
Both Alm and Desh have ambassadors in [[Azimir]] when [[Yanagawn]] agrees to visit [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|65}}▼

At some point after the [[Recreance]] and the subsequent [[Scouring of Aimia]], Alm experienced an influx of refugees from Aimia, although it is not certain when exactly this occurred and at what rate.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} It is also unclear how many refugees immigrated to Alm and what impact this might have had on the local culture and population.
[[Lift]] once visited Alm and enjoyed her time there, since relatively few people attempted to murder her.{{book ref|sa2.5|4}}
