Kliegme, officially the Federal Republic of Kliegme, is a country in Northern Crabry in the South Pacific, bordered by Termina, Nicholas and Great Britain, Phanama, and Aberstopia. Kliegme covers a territory that is approximately 149,132 km^2. It has territories in the Romordia Mountain range along the NAGB~Aberstopia border, and the Tsarina Mountain range along the Terminan Border. It also has soverignty over half of the island of Mipha. The Country's Capital and largest city is Mumiea, while Gawrnov is a cultural/historical centre and the second Largest City. Other major urban areas include Phonixburg, Bisei, Polkolova, and Chapayev.

The Kingdom of Kurigu, established in 1678 by the Crabry Gara, was colonised by the Kingdom of Karnetvor in 1885 as Karnetvorian Crabry, shortly after its unification. Historians believe the colonization was a bid to expand Karnetvor's maritime territories, and to gain a foothold in Crabry. Due to this Colonization, Kliegme's demographics saw a significant change, such as the Karnetvorization of the Crabry Garanians.

During the Great War, many regions revolted against Karnetvor, branding themselves the Provisional Government of Kliegme. After formation, The Provisional Government has engaged in Guerilla Warfare against Karnetvor. After Karnetvor's Surrender, Karnetvorian Crabry has been occupied by Allied Forces. Which lasted until February 18th of 1963. Ever since the Adoption of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Kliegme in January 19th, 1963, Kliegme has been governed as a federal semi-presidential republic.

Today, Kliegme is classified a developed nation, and diplomatically a middle power in the Crabry region, with significant economic growth based on developments in the IT industry, and its abundant natural resources in Transromordia. It is currently a Social Market Economy with a GDP of 1.8 trillion (dollar equivalent).

Etymology

The name Kliegme is derived from the Kliegma, a name coming from the Kingdom of Kurigu, a nation that existed before the Karnetvorian Colonization. During the Formation of the Provisional Government of Kliegme, a referendum was held to decide the name of the country, upon its independence. The Kliegmeans, due to Historical namesake and a lack of a better alternative, chose Kliegme.

History

Geography

Kliegme presides over the northern regions of Crabry Island, with its only maritime border being with the Brevero Sea. It has 2 main mountain ranges, which partially form the border of the nation with its neighbours.

Kliegme owns the Itrysh River, which is a river that crosses most of the nation, and leads up to the Brevero Sea. Due to this River, Kliegme has a great amount of Water Resources that can be used.

Climate

The climate of Kliegme is influenced by the large body of water of the Brevero Sea, which constitute a reservoir of heat and humidity for Kliegme. This leads to the development of a dry summer temperate climate(mediterranean climate). However, because of the length of the nation and the mostly mountainous hinterland, the climate of Kliegme is highly diverse. In most of the inland northern and central regions, the climate is characterized by dry summers and mild, wet winters. Conditions on the coast are different from those in the interior, particularly during winter months when the higher altitudes tend to be cold, wet, and often snowy. The coastal regions have mild winters and hot and generally dry summers; lowland valleys are hot in summer. Average winter temperatures vary from around 0 ° in Transromordia to 12 °C in Mipha, so average summer temperatures range from 20 °C to over 25 °C . Winters can vary widely across the country with lingering cold, foggy and snowy periods in the north and milder, sunnier conditions in the south. Summers are hot across the country, except for at high altitude, particularly in the south. Northern and central areas can experience occasional strong thunderstorms from spring to autumn.
