'''Istrenya''', officially the '''Republic of Istrenya''', is a country in [[Crona]]. It is neighbored by [[Arcerion]] across the [[Warrington Strait]]. By area is is one of the largest Indigenous countries in Couth Crona, and one of the most populous. With a population of 32 million, it also is the largest Southern Cronan Indigenous country that was not nominally aligned with Varshan. The national capital is the city of Karaba, which is also the nation's economic centre and the largest non-Occidental port in the Manletine Sea, largely due to trade from across the Warrington Strait coming from Arcerion. The country is bordered by Porlos, Malentina, and Ceylonia. | |||
'''Istrenya'' | Seated at the foothills and lowlands North of the South Istrenyan Mountain Range, Istrenya was largely comprised of disparate river and mountain tribes as far back as 50,000 years ago. Closer to the modern and industrial era, Occidental colonists and traders established trading posts across the Warrington Strait, which eventually became the basis in the late 1700s and early 1800s for the city of Karaba. The following century saw an expansion of trading to the nearby towns of Madara and Sumbe, in the Eastern River Basin, where the majority of the nation's economic and industrial centres remain to this day. | ||
Istrenya was never officially colonized or controlled by foreign powers, unlike many of its neighbours, owing to its poor geographic location and the favourable conditions in the Eastern Malentine where Ardmore and other Occidental coutnries were investing in the rapidly expanding Arcerion. Istrenya's independence was threatened during the 1956 Istrenyan Crisis where communist and socialist rebels attempted to overthrow the nation, and Arcer intervention prevented the Populist national government from being toppled and replaced by left-wing red factions based out of the Western half of Istrenya. The lasting effects of the Civil War are felt today, with the nation ethnically split between Eastern and Western cultural and tribal lines, the Eastern half regularly trades and entreats with Arcerion, whereas the West continually sees Arcerion as meddling in Indigenous affairs and violating the nation's sovereignty. | |||
Istrenya is not particularly rich in natural resources or agriculture, mostly having a small fishing trade and some mining for raw materials in the Southern Mountains. Karaba's port is the most important Western Indigenous maritime port, servicing much of the country's needs. The next two largest cities, Madara and Mogtepeni both have disparate industries, the former being agrarian owing to its location in the Eastern River Basin, and the latter being a mining town mostly controlled by private Arcer corporations. | |||
Istrenya's largest export is raw materials and raw minerals, over half of which are imported into Arcerion for refining and sold as finished goods. The human development of Istrenya has remained historically low throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, especially in the Western half of the nation. Istrenya has also been host to a large number of Varshani refugees after the Final War of the Deluge. | |||
