=== Early History ===
Lakaria was founded in early VE, its founders GameOnFinn, and Goodguy settled on the island do to its peaceful nature and calmness unlike mainland Tiberia where it was full of chaos, and turmoil from the numerous factions vying for control. Shortly after the founding, Lakaria started to grow rapidly as a city alongside its population from the numerous immigrants abroad Abexilas immigrating to it. Wherein the population decided on forming a semi-democratic nation with two government bodies, and also opting for a small compact city state rather then the large typical nations found on mainland Tiberia.

== Geography ==
Lakaria is an island located in the shimmering sea north of the continent of Tiberia. 
Lakaria has small steep mountains in the north, where the slums are located. The rest of the city only has minor elevation differences once you get more south. The city was built on top of vibrant green grasslands and various coastal biomes such as small cliffs and beaches. Lakaria is almost completely surrounded by Lukewarm oceans, although going east of Lakaria the ocean starts to cool down. Besides some freshwater streams from the mountains there are no other natural occurring water features in Lakaria. There is only manmade canals and ponds, although the heavy rainfall does create some permanent ponds in some areas of the city. All freshwater is gathered via these freshwater streams and the groundwater under Lakaria.
The Lakarian climate is subtropical with heavy rainfall. Most of the year is quite rainy, besides a few months where it's more dry, but usually it's still rainy enough to keep the lush look Lakaria has. During times of drought the government uses water reserves to keep areas such as emerald park green. 
== Demographics ==
=== Sapient Species ===
Lakaria is a big city with many sapient species, from frogs to moss people. The biggest group living in Lakaria are humans. A lot of these humans came from Alfheim and other nations from the previous worlds. A smaller group of elves also moved with the other Alfheimi to this new world of Abexilas, but not many elves can be found in the city anymore. Another big group of goblins can be found in Lakaria, since these creatures are from the mangroves and swamps on mainland Tiberia, directly south of Lakaria, a number of them ended up in the city. Besides the bigger groups there are a bunch of other sapient creatures living in the city of Lakaria, such as living moss and a sapient evolved frog. 
==== Turmoil ====
Although most species live in peace with each other, the goblins aren't liked by many. The goblins immigrated here in large numbers and are regularly called a nuisance by other species. Because of the cultural and hygienic differences with most other species they are outcast by most of society. A few hardworking goblins have managed to gain some respect in the nation, these are usually goblins that were born in Lakaria or immigrated at a young age, because of this they were able to learn and adapt to the Lakarian way of life instead of their goblin parents. Most goblins still have a bad reputation, which caused a large kick out the goblins movement in Lakaria. The size of this movement, with government officials joining in, caused most of the goblins to end up in the Lakarian sewers and slums. Most tram drivers do not allow any goblins in their trams anymore. The ones that managed to stay in the richer parts of the city work long hours and get harassed regularly.

=== Lakarian Architecture ===
Most fascinating of Lakarian culture is its unique architecture comparatively to its surrounding neighbors, and broader Abexilas. A lot of the roads in Lakaria are designed for its walkability, or the use of tram transportation throughout the city. Small compact houses in Lakaria were born out of necessity, due to the city-state being founded on a small strip of land. Making it where every block of land in Lakaria is valuable, because of the lack of it. Native rocks on the island are colorful in nature, hence why a lot of the original housing has taken a colorful spin to them. Thus has led to a cultural tradition of making most architecture builds colorful. 
Greenery around Lakaria also took root not because of it aesthetics originally, but because of the accelerated plant growth in Lakaria. Instead of combating the natural lush environment of Lakaria, the city-state decided to incorporate and direct its growth in order to give its buildings more stability. While also making a big part of its natural aesthetics throughout the city. 
== Military ==
Lakaria is an island based nation, that focuses primarily on its navy for protection.
=== The Navy ===
The Lakarian Fleet consists of highly-trained elite soldiers, handpicked from the citizens by the Admiral themselves. It is supported by the Lakarian National Armoury, which is maintained by Logistics Lakaria.
The Fleet consists of several ranks, which are reached by gaining the trust of and proving your skill to the leadership. Admiral is the highest rank in the fleet, held by only the commander-in-chief. Commodore is the most powerful attainable rank without being leader of the military, held by the Admiral's most trusted officers.
Captain is the first officer-level rank, held by soldiers who have proved their skills and loyalty in the heat of battle. Seaman is the rank given to a fighter upon joining the military - those chosen to fight for the nation by the Admiral themselves.
== Language ==
Alfheimi, natively known as Tunga álfar, is a descendant of Proto-Havenite, an ancient language spoken in the Empire of Uldarash and later by the Talawan settlers of Hapatmitas. Revered as the tongue of the mythical founders of Alfheim, its roots trace back to the cultural heartlands of Chervonstad during the Empire’s height. The language was revived and formalized during the Red Turban Rebellion, serving as the primary language of Alfheim. However, following the catastrophic War of the Comet and the subsequent freezing of Rathnir and Eldham, the citizens of Alfheim were forced to flee. They eventually crashed on the island now known as Lakaria, located in Tiberia, where they established a new nation.
As part of the old world—nearly a century past—Alfheimi is now considered an ancestral tongue. In modern Lakaria, a new language known as Lakarian has emerged, evolving from and diverging significantly from its Alfheimi roots. Lakarian has become the primary language of the nation, blending influences from Alfheimi with innovations suited to the cultural and practical needs of contemporary society. While Alfheimi is still respected for its historical and cultural significance, Lakarian represents the forward-looking identity of the Abexilas nation, marking a new chapter in its linguistic heritage.
