Belara Norvia Stronghold

Population: Belarian 10%, Native Human 40%, Native Elven 50%
Capital : Norvia Stronghold
Goverment: Colonial Administration
Culture
Norvian colonists, are mostly families of garrison military, and so come and go, so represent traditional Belarian culture. Different situation is represented by fishers, and miners. They work in proximity with natives, and while Belarians see themselves superior from them, cultural osmosis still takes place in little things like superstitions.
Religion
Same as Belaria
Organization 
Board of Colonial Administration – Norvia, or just BCAN, right now has military majority between administrators. 3 of them are militarists, 2 are merchants and 1 is colonists representative. Right now biggest problem from administration perspective is continuation of slave trade, and its profits, considering more and more nations in westrasi are starting to be abolitionist. While Merchants and Colonist are seeing profits to be made here, Militarists would rather stop having to divert their forces from slave raiding, to already understaffed forts. Kings representative right now supports status quo.
Origin
Norvia was first colony created by Belarians, who defeated local tribes and fended of Ruskatians. Since then local skirmishes between natives and colonists are normality, but no huge war was fought yet.
Diplomacy
BCAN diplomacy is based on one thing: technological superiority. In simple words, even though its army is understaffed, they carry big stick of advanced weapons, strategy and armors. Because of this no one thinks there is need to be subtle. Native tribes are strong-armed into pacts, and sometimes whole villages are enslaved, and send to metropolis, or to iron mines. 
Only exception being khanate, that is seen as great danger by Novian administration, because of how they know in case of attack they will be conquered before support arrives, if it arrives. And such, no hostile actions are taken against them.
Geography
Its arctic and mountainous land. There is almost no fertile land, and its littered with mountain passes and choke points turned into fortresses. 
Economy
It's the main hub for the arctic fish trade, its also hub of forestry and mining industries. Its here where lies biggest mine of Iron in the entire north. Additionally Norvia has great investment in slave trade, to a point of having biggest slave marked in whole Belara.
