==== [[Alstin|United Republic of Alstin]] ====

The United Republic of Alstin, commonly known as the United Republic or Alstin, is a sovereign state comprising the entirety of the Alstinian Isles off the coast of Crona, in addition to a number of overseas territories. Founded in 1559 as a sanctuary for Protestant refugees, exiles and outcasts as a direct consequence of the then-ongoing [[Great Confessional War]], it began its formal independent existence in 1565 as the [[Kingdom of Alstin]], with the [[House of Ryefield]] reigning until the end of the [[Alstinian Civil War]] in 1688. The following year, the United Republic was formally established, the oldest surviving federal republic, and has long championed the ideals of democracy, civil liberties and rule of law the world over.  

==== Confederated Provinces of Arcerion ====

Located in South Crona, the Confederated provinces of Arcerion are a parliamentary democracy with strong diplomatic ties to other members of its alliance, the [[Cronan Security and Trade Union]]. Founded by the [[Kingdom of Carna]] in the 1700s, Arcerion emerged as a settler state and a major agrarian and rail hub on the continent during the 1800s, of which much of that period was spent fighting the Bush Wars. As it entered into the modern era, it participated in both Great Wars, culminating with [[Operation Lightfoot]], the invasion of [[The Cape]] during the [[Great War|2nd Great War]]. Arcerion is a major exporter of staple foods and agricultural equipment, an homage to its deep-running cultural heritage as an agrarian democracy. It regularly participates in peacekeeping initiatives with other nations such as [[Paulastra]], and regularly works with [[Stenza]] on military exercises in the Songun and Polynesian Seas. Arcerion is also a major diplomatic hub, with it being part of the short-lived South Crona Congress and participating as a member of the League of Nation's Security Council, assisting in multiple humanitarian initiatives. A keystone part of Arco foreign policy is the counter-piracy and counter-terror operations around the Malentine Sea to ensure freedom of maritime navigation and protecting commercial freight passing through the key Warrington Straits waterway. Progressive social policies and common-sense economic legislation make Arcerion one of the most stable democracies in Crona, regularly receiving international acclaim for its civil rights and safe cities.

====The Federacy of the Cape====

The [[the Cape|Federacy of the Cape]] is an {{wp|constitutional republic}} located on the southern point of Crona. Formed through a gruesome War of Independence against [[Kiravia]] and [[Cartadania]], the Cape today is a multiracial and multilingual society with an Occidental, liberal, and modernist culture. It is one of the world's most vital transshipment hubs, and its Songun Straits are some of the busiest waterways in the world. Shaped roughly like a trident, the Cape is home to over 127 million people.

Centred on an {{wp|island continent}} between the Arctic and the [[Odoneru Ocean]], the Kiravian Federacy is a {{wp|Civilization state|civilisation-state}} known for its [[Coscivian civilisation|bizarre autochthonous culture]], [[Global_alcohol_consumption#Kiravia|pervasive alcoholism]], and miserable weather.
