South Crona
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 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 Federacy of the Cape is an 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.
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 Kiravian and Fanerian travellers, seeking a respite from the cold in a nation sharing cultural and economic ties.
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 authoritarian democracy and a 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 personality cult.
