Overview

Krauanagaz Federation (Federation Standard: Mitallarai Krauanagaz; commonly referred to as Krauanagaz) is a sovereign federal republic located in Southern Cordilia, bordered by the Mitallduk Confederacy to the north, the Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan to the east, and the Gulf of Good Omen to the south. With a population of approximately 93.3 million, it is one of the most diverse and geopolitically influential states in Pacifica.

Etymology

The name Krauanagaz derives from early Krautali inscriptions meaning “land of the joined rivers,” a reference to the confluence of the Kevan and Velliprirya Rivers that cradle the historical heartland. The suffix -gaz is linked to ancient dominion-era terms for "union" or "confederation."

History

Antiquity

The territory of modern Krauanagaz was home to a mosaic of early cultures, including the semi-nomadic Lupritali in the highlands, Mitalldukish pastoralists on the plains, and Krautali city-states along fertile river valleys. Archaeological evidence suggests that by the 3rd century BCE, these groups had begun transitioning into more permanent agricultural settlements, developing regional trade networks, and experimenting with early forms of metallurgy. Salt, obsidian, and livestock formed the basis of early exchange, while fortified settlements point to growing competition over resources. These patterns laid the foundation for Krauanagaz’s later political and cultural complexity.

Stone ruins of a Mvanagazi fortress rise above the plateau, remnants of the ancient kingdom’s defensive architecture that once guarded trade routes and symbolized its regional power.

Autarkul Fragmentation Period

Following the collapse of centralized regional powers, South Cordilia, including Krauanagaz, entered a turbulent era known as the Autarkul Fragmentation period (circa 1000–801 BCE). As former imperial structures disintegrated, power dispersed among regional Autarks— local warlords and tribal chieftains who established semi-independent domains. This period was marked by frequent conflicts, shifting alliances, and fierce competition for control over critical resources. Amid constant warfare, some Autarks managed to forge alliances and create confederacies, laying the groundwork for later regional unifications. The cultural and political chaos of this era, while destructive, also spurred significant innovations in military tactics, governance, and artistic expression, which would influence the entire region's evolution for centuries to come.

Dominion Period

During the Third Dominion (300 BCE – 223 CE), Krauanagaz became deeply entangled in the expansionist policies of Zuhlgan, which imposed tributary systems and stationed garrisons along major routes. While some Krautali city-states benefited from trade privileges under Dominion oversight, others resisted, forging alliances with Lupritali highland groups. This tension fostered distinct cultural identities defined in opposition to Zuhlg authority, blending local traditions with imported administrative and religious practices. The collapse of Dominion control in 223 CE marked a turning point, as Krauanagaz emerged more fragmented but also more determined to assert political autonomy.

Early Colonial Era

The Takaran traders and colonizers, beginning in 837 CE, introduced new seafaring traditions to Krauanagaz, establishing footholds along western Keyli and reshaping maritime trade routes. Their influence strengthened Krauanagaz’s connections to distant markets, while also sparking conflicts with entrenched inland powers. On the mainland, the this period was marked by alternating cycles of federations, dynastic consolidation, and religious reformation movements. Competing noble houses and priestly authorities vied for legitimacy, producing both internal instability and periods of flourishing cultural production, including the construction of monumental temples and fortress-towns.

Late Colonial Era

By the 18th century, Krauanagaz had consolidated into a patchwork of loosely governed provinces under rival noble families. The arrival of colonial contact from northern Pacifica states introduced firearms, new trade systems, and industrial technologies, which reshaped local economies. At the same time, foreign influence fueled internal tensions, as elites clashed over how much to embrace external alliances versus preserving traditional authority. This period set the stage for Krauanagaz’s eventual transformation into a more centralized state, even as the seeds of political factionalism remained embedded in its institutions.

20th Century

The Krauanagazan Civil War (1913–1976) was one of the most devastating conflicts in the nation’s history. The federal apartheid government clashed with the Southern Krautali Democratic Coalition (SKDC), a separatist movement drawing support from Krautali-majority regions. The war devastated urban centers such as Mitayyal and Vellienza, and rural areas suffered depopulation and destruction. By its conclusion, millions had died, and the nation’s political landscape was permanently altered. The Treaty of Mitayyal (1976) brought an end to hostilities, formally recognizing the autonomy of the Mitallduk Confederacy while reorganizing Krauanagaz into a federal republic to better accommodate its diverse populations.

Contemporary Era

Since the late 20th century, Krauanagaz has played a pivotal role in Cordilian geopolitics, balancing often tense relations with Zuhlgan, the Mitallduk Confederacy, and a range of international organizations. Its federal institutions have been tested repeatedly by crises. Most recently, the Pohnarras Island insurgency (2024–2025), in which militant groups seized control of the island following a contested withdrawal of federal forces, underscored ongoing security vulnerabilities. Soon after, the nation was struck by a series of natural disasters in Southern Cordilia (2025), which caused widespread destruction and revealed infrastructural and governance shortcomings. Despite these challenges, Krauanagaz remains a central regional power, navigating the complex confluence of security, economic development, and cultural identity in Pacifica.


History of Krauanagaz Main Article

Geography and Climate

The Krauanagaz Federation occupies a geographically diverse swath of Southern Cordilia, extending from fertile southern river valleys and coastal lowlands to rugged central and northern highlands. Its coastline on the Gulf of Good Omen features deep harbors, barrier islands, and extensive mangrove systems, while inland terrain includes upland plateaus, rolling grasslands, temperate and tropical rainforests, and the granitic peaks of the Luzayyagaz Mountain Range. This variety of landforms and climates has shaped regional economies, settlement patterns, and ecological communities across the federation.

Location and borders

Krauanagaz sits at the crossroads between Cordilia and Keyli, sharing maritime approaches to the Gulf of Good Omen with neighboring states and forming landward links to interior trade routes. Major geographic features that define its borders and strategic position include the Luzayyagaz Mountain Range to the east, the Kraudukra Sea along its western coast, and the twelve river systems crisscrossing the land. The federation’s coastal provinces host the principal ports and shipbuilding hubs that connect Krauanagaz to maritime trade in the region

Topography and major physical features

Luzayyagaz Mountain Range

Located in eastern Krauanagaz, the Luzayyagaz Range is composed of uplifted granitic and metamorphic blocks and serves as a watershed for several major rivers. The most notable summit, Mount Alkantarak, is a prominent landmark and cultural touchstone for communities on its flanks. The range’s steep ridges and valleys support highland forests, alpine grasslands, and numerous mineral deposits.

Kraudukra Sea

Bordering the western coastline, the Kraudukra Sea is part of the larger Krauanagazan Basin. Sedimentary layers on the seabed record the region’s geological history; seabed surveys have identified submarine channels, shelf features, and zones with potential mineral and hydrocarbon prospectivity that have factored into contemporary offshore planning.

Barrier Sounds (Star Islands)

The Luprila Grasslands stretch across central Krauanagaz, a vast prairie ecosystem shaped by the Tatallagaz River’s fertile soils and home to both traditional pastoralism and rich biodiversity.

A chain of barrier islands and sounds runs parallel to much of the Krauanagazan coast. Formed by long-term sedimentation, sea-level change, and coastal dynamism, these islands buffer the mainland against storm surge and wave action. Vegetation ranges from coastal chaparral to pockets of tropical rainforest on the more sheltered islands.

Luprila Grasslands

The Luprila Grasslands spread across parts of Krautallaz and Zhzoatal provinces and rest on rich alluvial soils fed by the Tatallagaz River and its tributaries. Historically an extensive prairie ecosystem supporting grazing and dryland agriculture, roughly 70% of the original biome has been converted for agriculture and other human uses.

Luanapríg Plateau

The Luanapríg Plateau (1200–1,800 m elevation) occupies central provinces and consists of a mixture of sedimentary and igneous formations produced by tectonic uplift and long-term erosion. The plateau forms an ecotonal zone between upland rainforests and interior grasslands and hosts unique highland flora and fauna.

Krautalra Cliffs and Zharana Range

In the southern provinces, the Krautalra Cliffs — part of the broader Zharana Mountain system— are composed primarily of sandstone and limestone. Their steep faces and coastal escarpments create microclimates and nesting habitat for cliff-specialist species.

The Kraulith Mangrove Forest on Aeska Island, a vital estuarine ecosystem where tidal channels, mudflats, and dense mangroves provide nurseries for fish and sanctuary for migratory birds while buffering coastal communities against storms.

Kraulith Mangrove Forest

The mangrove wetlands along the coasts of Krauana, and Prital Kallaria occupy high water-table estuarine zones. These complex wetlands include tidal saltmarshes, mudflats, and diverse estuarine habitats that support fish nurseries, migratory birds, and crucial carbon sequestration functions.

Tallaz Barrier Reef

Stretching across 320 kilometers of the Krauanagazan coastline, the Tallaz Barrier Reef National Monument is one of Southern Cordilia’s most significant marine ecosystems. The reef forms a discontinuous arc parallel to the coast, sheltering lagoons, seagrass meadows, and mangrove-fringed islands that support both biodiversity and coastal livelihoods. Surveys record over 600 species of coral, reef fish, mollusks, and crustaceans, with the reef serving as a critical nursery for regional fisheries. Migratory sea turtles, dugongs, and whale sharks are seasonal visitors.

The reef has long been central to Krauanagazan coastal communities, featuring in oral histories, ritual practices, and artisanal fishing traditions. Declared a National Monument in 1988, the reef is jointly managed by the Barrier Islands Authority, National Park Service, and local councils. Protected zones restrict trawling, dredging, and large-scale development, though enforcement capacity remains a challenge. Coral bleaching events, intensified storm surges (particularly after the 10.1 earthquake and tsunami of 2025), and illegal sand mining have degraded sections of the reef. Post-disaster recovery programs now emphasize reef restoration, community-led monitoring, and integration with sustainable ecotourism initiatives.

The Heart Reef and Lagoon off Maai Island, a jewel of the Tallaz Barrier Reef system, where vibrant corals form natural heart-shaped patterns in turquoise waters.

Despite the challenges, the Tallaz Barrier Reef remains a vital buffer against storm surge and coastal erosion while providing ecological and economic value that underpins much of Krauanagaz’s coastal resilience strategy.

Rivers of Krauanagaz

The Krauanagaz Federation is defined by a dense and varied river network, with twelve principal river systems shaping its topography, ecology, and settlement patterns. These rivers flow from upland headwaters in the Luzayyagaz Range and Luanapríg Plateau toward the Kraudukra Sea, forming fertile valleys and extensive floodplains. Krauanagaz's rivers have historically provided transport corridors, cultural landmarks, and strategic resources. However, sedimentation, upstream deforestation, and climate variability have intensified concerns over flood risks, water scarcity in dry months, and ecological disruption.

Mitayyal River

The Tatallagaz River winds in broad meanders across fertile floodplains, its shifting channels shaping the Luprila Grasslands and sustaining agriculture and diverse ecosystems along its course.

Tatallagaz River

The longest river in the federation, flowing north–south through the Luprila Grasslands. Its floodplains support intensive agriculture and host numerous towns, while seasonal flooding replenishes soil fertility and sustains riparian wetlands. Flowing through north-central Krauanagaz, the river’s sinuosity and seasonal pulse are influenced by underlying geology and monsoonal precipitation patterns.

Vellipriyra River

Rising in the high-rainfall Zhrana slopes, this river feeds the Zhranatalla Rainforest and is central to hydropower development and biodiversity conservation.

Taayyaz River

Krauana River System

A network of rivers, smaller upland streams, and tributaries flowing westward, notable for their waterfalls, gorges, and role in supplying drinking water to urban centers. This river system includes the Keviari, Sentro, Tikhir, Mitallana, Krauani, Takra, and Kevan rivers.

Keviari River

Originating in Prital Inaria province, it sustains mixed farming landscapes and provides critical irrigation during dry-season months.

Climate

The federation’s climate ranges from tropical and humid coastal zones in the south to temperate and, in places, boreal climates at elevation. Northern and interior lowlands experience tropical savanna or humid subtropical patterns, with pronounced wet and dry seasons in many areas, while higher elevations along the Luzayyagaz Range and Luanapríg Plateau exhibit cooler, wetter conditions and, locally, montane climates. Seasonal precipitation varies widely: some rainforest zones receive 200–400 cm of rain annually, while interior grasslands average 25–75 cm per year.

Barrier islands in the Keviari River delta, where the Kanti tropical rainforest meets the sea, creating a rich mosaic of mangroves, estuaries, and coastal forests that shelter rare wildlife and sustain fishing communities.

Krautallaz Province

Dominated by the Luprila Grasslands, Krautallaz sees hot summers, cold winters, and relatively low annual precipitation (25–75 cm). In the Luprila Foothills and the Luzayyagaz foothill rainforests, precipitation rises sharply (often >127 cm/yr in temperate rainforest zones), with persistent fog and pockets of old-growth forest that support exceptional biodiversity.

Zhzoatal Province

Largely Luprila Grasslands, with similar precipitation and temperature ranges to Krautallaz; higher altitudes transition into temperate and boreal forest types along mountain slopes.

Luanapríg Vellipriyra

Home to most of the Kanti Rainforest, this province receives heavy rainfall (200–400 cm/yr) due to orographic lift from the nearby Luzayyagaz Range. The northern margins transition to temperate rainforest and highland plateau environments.

Other provinces (Luanapríg Lupriyra, Prital Inaria, Prital Kallaria, Krauana Lupriyra, Kevpríg, Lutavaras Arkas, Mitallpríg, Mitallzoatal) display combinations of these climatic and topographic regimes, ranging from coastal mangrove and tropical rainforest to plateau and montane ecosystems.

Biodiversity and protected areas

Krauanagaz supports a wide spectrum of habitats and species. The temperate rainforest zones alone are notable for their species richness: surveys in the Luprila foothill rainforests record approximately 404 bird species, 151 mammal species, 149 reptile species, 98 amphibian species, 15 fish species, and over 2,155 identified vascular plant species. Major protected areas include Zhranatalla Wildlife Reserve (Luanapríg Lupriyra), Mit'tikani National Park (spanning Prital Inaria, Prital Kallaria, Krauana, and Lutavaras Arkas), Arkas National Park, and the Tallaz Barrier Reef National Monument, each established to conserve representative ecosystems and endangered species. Natural resources and economic geography

Natural resources and economic geography

The federation’s geology supplies abundant mineral resources (including iron, copper, and gemstones) concentrated in the Luzayyagaz Range and adjacent plateaus. Fertile alluvial plains and grasslands support agriculture (wheat, barley, rice) and pastoralism; coastal fisheries and mangrove systems underpin local livelihoods. Offshore areas of the Kraudukra Sea also present potential hydrocarbon and seabed mineral prospects, which have attracted both domestic and international exploration interest. Environmental issues and conservation challenges

Environmental issues and conservation challenges

Rapid conversion of the Luprila Grasslands (an estimated 70% loss) for agriculture and development, deforestation in some lowland rainforest margins, pollution associated with legacy industrial sites, and the impacts of climate change (sea-level rise, increased storm intensity) threaten ecosystems and coastal infrastructure. Protected areas and national parks provide a legal framework for conservation, but enforcement, funding, and community engagement remain uneven. Ongoing conservation strategies emphasize habitat protection, sustainable forestry, restoration of degraded grasslands, and integrated coastal zone management for mangrove and barrier island systems.

Government and Politics

Political System

Krauanagaz is a democratically governed nation, with three distinct branches of government. The legislative, judicial, and executive branches make up the federal government of Krauanagaz. The nation is divided into smaller administrative subdivisions called provinces.

The Legislative Branch

The legislative branch of Krauanagaz is organized into a bicameral parliament called the Ludoraiya. The upper body, the Zhirveniayyaka, consists of 110 Lupriaris. Ten are elected from each province from districts drawn by provincial authorities. The lower body, the Ludikiari, consists of 300 Magistrates apportioned by population, and elected by the people of their respective province.

The Zhirveniayyaka is chaired by the Lupriari Valarzaari, who is elected by the body. The Ludikiari is chaired by the Magésare Koroshia, who is elected by the body.

When both chambers convene in the same session that is called “Congress Assembled,” or, “the Ludoraiya.” The term "Ludoraiya" is also used when referring to both chambers.

Society and Culture

The Krauanagaz Federation is deeply shaped by the cultural diffusion of its three major cultural traditions: Krautali, Mitalldukish, and Lupritali. Each contributes distinctive practices, aesthetics, and worldviews that together form a diverse national identity. Krautali urban centers are renowned for their stone architecture, monumental plazas, and artistic stelae, while the Mitalldukish legacy of mobility and adaptability continues in seasonal festivals, horsemanship traditions, and forms of oral literature. The Lupritali, long associated with mountain living and sustainable land use, have left a lasting imprint on agricultural systems, forest management, and spiritual approaches to the natural world. The blending of these traditions is visible in everything from household design to religious syncretism and popular storytelling.

Festivals are central to Krauanagazan social life and often serve as opportunities for cultural cross-pollination. Seasonal celebrations tied to harvests, ancestral remembrance, and solstices are observed throughout the federation, often incorporating Mitalldukish nomadic music, Krautali processional dances, and Lupritali offerings to mountain and river spirits. Music, in particular, exemplifies cultural fusion with Krautali stringed instruments played alongside Mitalldukish drums and Lupritali flutes, producing a style that is uniquely Krauanagazan. Contemporary cuisine also reflects this blending, with dishes that combine highland grains, coastal seafood, and forest-gathered herbs, creating a culinary tradition that draws equally from subsistence practices and trade networks.

Education and intellectual life continue to play an increasingly prominent role in shaping Krauanagazan culture. State-funded universities located in major provincial capitals serve as centers of both academic and civic discourse. These institutions are particularly strong in the humanities and sciences, with anthropology and history programs emphasizing the federation’s diverse heritage, while scientific research often focuses on environmental sustainability and public health. This emphasis reflects the federation’s deep-seated concern with balancing progress and tradition, a theme inherited from the Lupritali philosophy of stewardship.

Despite recurring political and ethnic tensions, Krauanagaz maintains a strong sense of cultural pride in its diversity. Many citizens see cultural exchange not as a challenge to unity but as a defining trait and strength of the federation. Artists, musicians, and writers often draw explicitly on multiple traditions, creating works that speak across ethnic boundaries and reinforce a shared sense of belonging. This cultural dynamism, rooted in ancient traditions yet constantly reinvented, underpins Krauanagaz’s resilience in the face of political upheaval and contemporary challenges.

Federal Holidays

Federal holidays in Krauanagaz reflect both the federation’s ancient traditions and its modern political history. They serve as moments of collective reflection, celebration, and cultural continuity, often blending civic ceremonies with local customs. While many provinces maintain their own festivals and observances, the following five dates are recognized nationwide:

Pacifica Day (April 22)

Celebrated across the federation as a commemoration of Krauanagaz’s place within the broader world of Pacifica. Originally tied to early diplomatic congresses in the 19th century, the holiday now emphasizes themes of international cooperation, cultural exchange, and environmental stewardship. Schools and universities often host lectures and exhibitions, while public parades highlight the federation’s diversity and its role as a regional leader.

Entprira Festival (June 3)

Rooted in the ancient tradition of story-stones, or entpriras, this holiday honors the art of storytelling as a vessel for cultural memory. Communities gather to share oral histories, recite epics, and carve symbolic motifs onto stones or wood to commemorate the year’s events. In modern times, artists, writers, and musicians contribute new works for the festival, reinforcing the living nature of Krauanagazan culture. It is widely considered the most colorful and participatory holiday of the year, and is typically celebrated throughout the month of June.

Ceasefire Day (August 11)

Marking the formal ceasefire in 1976 that ended the Krauanagazan Civil War, this holiday is solemn but unifying. It is observed with wreath-layings, moments of silence, and reconciliation events between Krautali, Mitalldukish, and Lupritali communities within Krauanagaz. Many provinces host public forums and remembrance services where survivors share testimony, underscoring the importance of peace as a national value.

Federation Day (September 9)

The official founding holiday of the Krauanagaz Federation, Federation Day commemorates the adoption of the federal constitution and the consolidation of provinces into a unified republic. It is celebrated with military parades, speeches by political leaders, and the raising of the federation’s flag in all provincial capitals. The day emphasizes civic unity, national pride, and the federation’s achievements since unification.

Memorial Day (November 2)

A day of remembrance for those who have died in war and public service. Families visit cemeteries and memorials, lighting candles and leaving offerings for ancestors. In major cities, the national government hosts ceremonies honoring soldiers and civilians who gave their lives for the federation. The day has increasingly come to include victims of natural disasters and public tragedies, reflecting the federation’s evolving sense of collective mourning.
