====[[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.

The United Republic has emerged as a highly developed nation, ranking among the highest in several measures of socioeconomic performance, as well as being considered as one of world's most technologically-advanced countries. While the Alstinian economy is considered post-industrial, characterized by the dominance of both the service and information industry, the manufacturing sector remains one of the proficient in the world. These, combined with its Geo-strategic positioning along many of major shipping lanes of the Ocean of Cathay, Sea of Orixtal, and the Polynesian Sea, as well as its long naval tradition, has enabled the United Republic to emerge is one of the world's foremost economic and military powers, as well as allowed it to become a prominent political and cultural force internationally, and a leader in scientific research and technological innovations.

====[[Arcerion|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 Cape|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.

Shaped roughly like a trident, the Cape is home to over 127 million people.

It is home to a variety of LONESCO world heritage sites and is heir to the rich history and culture of the indigenous Cahok peoples and the legacy of Kiravian and Cartadanian colonization. Besides from its cultural sites and bustling cities, the Cape is also known for its vast savannah, imposing mountain ranges, striking escarpments, and white beaches. The Cape is perhaps the favourite destination for [[Kiravia]]n and [[Faneria]]n travellers, seeking a respite from the cold in a nation sharing cultural and economic ties.

Line 20:

While instances of crime and racial or sexual discrimination are few and far between, the prospective traveller should exercise caution nevertheless. The Cape is governed as an {{wp|authoritarian democracy}} and a {{wp|one-party system|one-party state}} with limited judicial redress for certain crimes. One should refrain from insulting both republican institutions and the nation's founder, [[Melvyn Kalma]], and his [[Melvyn Kalma's cult of personality|personality cult]].

====[[Tierrador|Tierradorian Woqalate]]====

The '''Tierradorian Woqalate''' is one of the largest countries in South Crona as well as one of the wealthiest in the region. The predominantly mountainous and sub-tropical nation is a semi-constitutional monarchy organised in a unitary manner with its furthest domestic reach being the [[Saukhin Islands]] (which also boasts high biodiversity) near [[Australis]]; its current form of government having been in place since the late 1980s after the corporatist republican regime was deposed and the former royal [[House of Woqelee]] was restored. The nation's demographics are diverse, most especially after the immigration boom of the 1970s and 1980s, with as many as 21 ethnic groups boasting at least one million self-identifying members. Linguistically, this has made Tierrador one of the nations to have a form of [[Ænglish]] as a nationally-recognised official language, specifically the {{wp|Southern American English|Tierradorian dialect}} of said language. However, the regions and even the provinces have the right to determine a regionally or provincially-recognised official language, the majority of which recognise an indigenous Abio language as such although [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]] and [[Kiravic Coscivian]] are also known to have received regional or provincial recognition, although records state that over 150 languages have been noted to have been spoken on Tierradorian soil.

With one of the largest economies in Crona, Tierrador's economic influence on the world economy is rather sizeable with many Tierrador-based companies being amongst the largest on the planet, which in turn has led to the rise of the term "Tierradorization". This term is used to describe Tierrador's status as a cultural superpower as well as its commitment to liberty, equality, and cross-cultural brotherhood (known as the Tierradorian creed). Because of this Tierrador has among the highest ratings in civil rights, gender equality, and LGBT rights. One major aspect of Tierrador's culture is athleticism, or the encouragement and commitment to an active lifestyle as well as the prevalence of sports ranging from gridiron football to ice hockey.

===[[Kiravian Federacy]]===

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.

Long oriented toward the sea, Kiravians have engaged extensively in seaborne commerce, exploration, and colonisation, with the nation emerging as a major mercantile and colonial power during the Age of the Sail. Kiravian settlers populated much of what is now [[the Cape]] and [[Paulastra]], as well as various other territories such as [[Æonara]] and [[Suderavia]] that remain part of the Kiravian realm today. A relatively early entrant to {{wp|industrialism}}, Kiravia today has the second-largest national economy in terms of nominal GDP, underpinned by strong export-oriented industries such as electrical equipment, alcoholic beverages, and pharmaceuticals, as well as maritime trade and a burgeoning service sector. However, development and medium-term economic prospectus is uneven across the nation, with wide disparities in living standards and infrastructural quality between coastal and inland areas and metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, and among the country's various cultural and geographic regions.

====[[Faneria|The Republic of the Fhainn]]====

~~Faneria~~ is a country in northern [[Levantia]] with coastline on the [[Nordska]], [[Kilikas Sea|Kilikas]], and [[Vandarch]] seas. Its core region, the Ninerivers, sits along the Vandarch Basin. It posesses several minor overseas territories as well as [[Sorhaithe]], which is a province not contiguous with metropolitan Faneria. It is dominated by the [[Fhainnin Culture|Fhainnin]] [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] culture group, with notable [[Coscivian culture|Coscivian]], [[Anglei|Aenglo]], and foreign Gaelic minorities. Its [[Government of Faneria|government]] has four branches and a [[National Assembly of the Fhainnin Republic|tricameral legislature]], and is considered a unitary constitutional democracy with good civil and legal rights but a somewhat authoritarian political system dominated by the [[Politics of Faneria#Republican Party|Republican Party]] with legal but weak opposition parties.

Faneria originated from a patchwork of shifting petty states to become a [[Kingdom of the Fhainn|kingdom]] in the 14th Century A.D. with an aristocratic, feudal elective monarchy eventually being eroded into a functionally absolute state and, by the 19th century, a constitutional one with a weak Senate and defanged petty nobility. Faneria was an aggressively expansive great power in the late 18th and throughout the 19th Centuries. At the close of the 19th Century, it was [[Fourth Kin War|decisively defeated]] by the [[Fiannria|Commonwealth of Fiannria]], destroying the monarchy's prestige and ultimately driving the nation into [[Fhainnin Civil War|civil war]] in 1906 and emerging as a radical revolutionary republic under Callac Cananach and his version of republicanism. It later [[Second Great War|attempted and failed]] to create a pan-gaelic union in the 1930s and would eventually settle as a high-ranking secondary power with close ties to the Coscivian world and work to repair its relations with much of the outside Gaelic world.
