Altair is a county (amta) of Kastera State, located on the Coscivian Sea coast.
County Altair lies on the furthest outskirts of the Xūrosar metropolitan area, and is primarily rural in character, with several growing exurban communities.
It is well-known as the site of the Thóridan Massacre during the Cromwelute Wars, when victorious Coscivian forces indiscriminately slaughtered the entire population of a Cromwelute town that had existed on the site of what it now the borough of Thóridan. The anniversary of this event is celebrated with local festivities, and is also commemorated during Sāxna Būraktorsk Gromhélulya, a federal holiday.
According to the 21200 Census, the population of Co. Altair was 72,000. 71.24% of the population reported themselves as belonging to the Arnórian Coscivian ethnosocial group, with 53.35% reporting it as their sole group identity. 22% of the population are Celtic-Kiravians, virtually all of them Kiravian Gaels.
Arnórian Coscivian is the predominant spoken language in the county and the main working language of the county government for most purposes, though Kiravic Coscivian and Kiravian Gaelic have auxilliary official status.
Six our of nine seats on the County Commission are held by the Republican Party of Kastera, which chiefly represents Arnórian interests and is strong in coastal counties like Altair. Two of the remaining seats are held by the Independence Party and one by the Party for Us.
The potato is the main crop grown in County Altair.
