Travellers may find it difficult to manage outside of relatively cosmopolitan port cities such as [[Valēka]], [[Saar-Silverda]], [[Bérasar]], [[Sirana]], [[Pontevedra]], and [[Cities of Kiravia#Sar-i-Pául|Sar-i-Pául]]. Comprehension of major international languages such as [[Caphiric Latin|Latin]] and [[Julian Ænglish|Ænglish]] outside of these urban centres ranges from unreliable to nonexistent, though [[Gaelic in Kiravia|speakers of Gaelic]] are reasonably common in many parts of the country. The challenges posed by a different script, [[Coscivian calendar|different timekeeping system]], [[Federalist system of units|different units of measure]], and an apparently wilful refusal to adopt many {{wp|Signage#Signage_conventions|informational signage conventions}} and international technical standards are compounded by alien social customs and a minefield of cultural taboos, the particularities of which can vary widely from locality to locality. The Office of Visitor Services strongly advises foreigners looking to experience the "real Kirav" to invest in an accredited guide or interpreter and a comprehensive guidebook. | Travellers may find it difficult to manage outside of relatively cosmopolitan port cities such as [[Valēka]], [[Saar-Silverda]], [[Bérasar]], [[Sirana]], [[Pontevedra]], and [[Cities of Kiravia#Sar-i-Pául|Sar-i-Pául]].

It was once the crown jewel of the [[Pelaxia|Pelaxian]] colonial empire as the [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]], such a status that led to the rise of a form of nationalism known of [[Delepasian exceptionalism]] which once served as the main ideology for many of the Delepasian polities from 1852 until the end of the [[Rumahokian Civil War]] in 1996. These days, it is a multicultural nation that boasts one of the most biodiverse regions in the subcontinent, and holds one of the strongest economies in the region as well, with the [[Special Economic Zones (Rumahoki)|special economic zone]] in [[Portas Gemeas]] being home to many of the Vallosi branches of some of the world's largest multinational companies. | It was once the crown jewel of the [[Pelaxia|Pelaxian]] colonial empire as the [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]], such a status that led to the rise of a form of nationalism known of [[Delepasian exceptionalism]] which once served as the main ideology for many of the Delepasian polities from 1852 until the end of the [[Rumahokian Civil War]] in 1996.

Located in | The largest country in Sarpedon in terms of land area and population (second-largest in both categories overall), the '''Fourth Imperium of Caphiria''' is one of the world's three foremost superpowers. Located almost smack-dab in the middle of the world according to most mainstream map projections, Caphiria is home to the [[Latinic people]] and the [[Latin language]] (both the formal [[Classical Latin|Classical]] and the more practical [[Caphiric Latin|Caphiric]] tongues) from which all the world's Romance languages and cultures can trace their ancestry from. It should be stated that Caphiria's landmass is rather widespread, with its extent going as far as the [[Possessions (Caphiria)|Overseas Possessions]] in [[Australis]] ([[Escal Isles]]) and in [[Crona]] ([[Shenendehowa Bay|Cenendovia]]). | ||
Caphiria is, according to its constitution, a unitary constitutional republic. However, it would be dangerously naive to assume that Caphiria functions as such. In reality, Caphiria is an autocratic-caesaropapist constitutional republic with an immensely powerful head of state, that being the [[Imperator]]. Despite the fact that the term "Imperator" translates to the word "Emperor" in countries like Rumahoki, the Caphirian Imperator is '''''not''''' a monarch nor is he an emperor. Because monarchy has left a very bad taste in the mouth of many of the people of Caphiria for the past millennia, the Imperator is a republican leader and commander-in-chief who may not necessarily lead for life (as was the case with [[Atancello II]] who lived to see the ascension of his successor and incumbent Imperator [[Constantinus I]]) while the rules of succession are meritocratic in nature. | |||
As one of the largest economies in the world, the Caphirian economy is noted to have taken an extreme laissez-faire approach to most sectors, with the exceptions being the public transit and national defence sectors which are under heavy government intervention. It also has two currencies, the {{wp|fiat currency|fiat}} [[Aureus]] (₳), used internationally and in highly developed areas of the country, and the copper-backed Uncia (₡), a legacy currency used by the poor and in lesser developed areas of the country. Caphiria's economy is also noted to be highly balanced, a means to ensure long-term economic stability by not overly relying on a single sector. | |||

On the northern part of Australies lies the [[Stenza|Republic of Stenza]], a Polynesian nathion that has taken to the international stage after an isolationist past not too long ago. Being a loose collection of tribes struggling for power among each other for most of ancient history, Stenza was tamed and industrialized by Daxian colinization before breaking free under an authoritarian, isolationist government. | On the northern part of Australies lies the [[Stenza|Republic of Stenza]], a Polynesian nathion that has taken to the international stage after an isolationist past not too long ago.
