The name ''Caracua'' it a latinized version of the word ''karáhkwasa'', "sunset". This word was used by the people of the eastern [[Northern Confederation]], particularly the Algosh but also the Housatonish, to refer generally to the people in the western parts of the Confederation. As such, it originated as an {{wp|exonym}}, and likely entered common use by the end of the 19th century. The name gradually entered use among these western peoples to refer to themselves and their area generally, as no local collective term for the area existed. When the peoples of the region declared their independence from [[Algoquona]] at the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], it was adopted as the official name for the peoples collectively and the state they established. | |||

Ashkenang primarily consists of hilly seasonal tundras, with population centers primarily orbiting the [[Ashuk River|Ashuk]] and Copehe rivers. Of these two, the Ashuk leads to Mera Bay, while the Copehe is a tributary of Lake _____'s {{wp|endorheic basin}}. The Ashuk and Copehe have distinct fish breeds and chemical differences, with the Copehe being more saline and less ecologically dense due to drawing salt off of flats in its northernmost reaches that see regular thaws during deep summer. | Ashkenang primarily consists of hilly seasonal tundras, with population centers primarily orbiting the [[Ashuk River|Ashuk]] and Copehe rivers.
