==Geography==

Sabnaki sits on the west coast of [[Cusinaut]], ranging from the Pacagine peninsula on the west to the [[Cusinaut#Cusin_Valley|Cusin Valley]] in the central of Cusinaut. The entire country sits below the Arctic circle, with much of Sabnaki featuring a {{wp|maritime climate}}. Temperatures are mild most of the year with the exception of January and February, which feature fierce winter coldfronts that regularly dip below 0 F. The interior of the country is mostly characterized by highlands surrounding the Cusin Valley, but some of the Valley's fertile lowlands sit within Sabnak territory. In the final peace of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], Sabnaki was awarded an eastern extremity known as the Treaty Corridor, which is a relatively thin piece of territory separating most of [[Iriquona]] from the [[Algosh Republic]].

Human history in Sabnaki can be traced back to the earliest archaeological evidence of human arrival in [[Cusinaut]] from [[Alshar]], with rudimentary fishing implements found from about 20,000 BC.

Modern Sabnaki developed a semi-urban society by around the year 750 BC, with inland agriculture and extensive fishing allowing the growth of an urban corridor along the modern west coast of the country. These population centers did not develop into a fully urban society until well into the 3rd century AD, and for the time the people there largely erected large temporary settlements and migrated within small territories based on whether or not the fish supply in the area was exhausted. Regardless, most of these groups developed into major tribal polities, vying for control of better fishing territories as well as access to important rivers that gave easy access to the rudimentary inland agriculture.
