'''Carna''', officially the '''People's Republic of Carna''', is a country in southern [[Levantia]].

It shares land borders with [[Wealdland]] to the west, [[Yonderre]] to the north, [[Urcea]] to the east and [[Anglei]] to the northeast, and shares a maritime border with [[Kiravia]] in the [[Sea of Ardran]]. It covers an area of 1,009,396 km<sup>2</sup> (389,730 sq mi) which includes the island of [[Ardran]], the [[Eriskay Islands]] and the island [[New Holchester]] in the [[Sea of Nordska]]. The country has a population of almost 99 million, the vast majority of which is situated within the country's coastal regions and central belt. The {{wp|Capital city|national capital}} is [[Dunaird]], the country's largest city and main cultural and economic centre. Other major cities include [[Malkirk]], [[Inverleith]], [[Dalfearn]], [[Kinlaig]], [[Craigshiel]], [[Largmore]], and [[Colgar]]. | ||
By 300 CE, the Germanic {{wp|English people|Ænglish people}} had migrated into the central areas of modern Carna, establishing permanent settlements in the region. The south and southwestern coastal areas and the mountainous northern areas of Carna remained under the rule of the native {{wp|Gaels|Gaelic}} people up until the collapse of [[Great Levantia]] in 500 CE. This saw the Ængles conquer much of Carna, developing a distinct Ænglo-Gaelic culture that laid the foundation of the {{wp|Scots language|Carnish}} language. Following the dissolution of the [[Western Kingdom of the Levantines]] in 978, the [[Kingdom of Carna]] was founded in 995, beginning more than a millennia of independent Carnish rule. Calls for reform in the late 18th century would see the Carnish monarchy relinquish significant power to an [[Old Carnish Parliament|elected parliament]]. Carna would enter the [[Great War]] in 1939, fighting alongside their former rival of Urcea. The country would exit the war in 1948 following the [[Carnish Revolution]] which saw the Carnish monarchy deposed and the subsequent establishment of the [[Proclamation of the People's Republic of Carna|People's Republic of Carna]]. | By 300 CE, the Germanic {{wp|English people|Ænglish people}} had migrated into the central areas of modern Carna, establishing permanent settlements in the region.

Since the Carnish Revolution of 1948, Carna has been governed as a {{wp|Non-partisan democracy|non-partisan}} {{wp|Semi-direct democracy|semi-direct democracy}}, with political parties being outlawed by its [[Constitution of Carna|constitution]]. It is the world's only democracy that does not employ a {{wp|Multi-party system|multi-party}} or {{wp|One-party state|one-party}} system. Despite this, almost all [[Forgaitherin Delegate|representatives]] elected to its national legislature, the [[Forgaitherin]], are followers of the {{wp|Communism|communist}} ideology of Bairdism. This ideology sees the country organised as a highly decentralised union of [[Economy of Carna|workers']], [[Carnish Armed Forces|soldiers']] and peoples' councils. The peoples' councils serve as the country's {{wp|Federated state|federal entities}} and are [[Federalism in Carna|highly autonomous]], wielding significant local power. | Since the Carnish Revolution of 1948, Carna has been governed as a {{wp|Non-partisan democracy|non-partisan}} {{wp|Semi-direct democracy|semi-direct democracy}}, with political parties being outlawed by its [[Constitution of Carna|constitution]].
