"Paulastra" as a word first appeared in the 16th century as a general term for southern [[Crona]]; it is one word among many similar terms relating to [[Paul Aster]] and [[Aster's expedition]], such as Paulastra, Paulaster's Land, Asteria, Asterland, and the like, which were used in both a specific and general romanticized sense for the area. The term was selected after the independence of the former Kiravian colonies in the area, which previously had no collective name prior to their unification in the 19th century.
