I wanted to start but I don't know how to start lol,how to start it all??should I begin with introducing the country itself or the character??
30 pages is quite long. When you add all the chapters up that totals 300 pages at the least. You're not being paid for this manga, I'm sure you won't spend all your time on it, and for the most part you're working alone, so the chances of your manga falling to the wayside are present. I suggest halving the total output, 15 pages per chapter. That should be enough. But, as always, this is your own project, so the final decision on how long you want it to be is up to you.
There are some popular ways on how to start telling a story. One is that you could start with a general "situationer" on the world. Introduce the big factions, and possibly some very major characters (like the antagonist). That could be your first chapter. Or, you could go straight into the action, and just tell the story through flashbacks and foreshadowing. For example, your first frame could be the character's AC getting shot, or something to that effect. I know that the latter method (particularly the part about using flashbacks/foreshadowing devices) isn't greatly used in the popular manga, but hey, this is yours.
