== Geography ==
Nocaliana was apart of the state of Vitena until 1903, when they became an independent state of Nareemia. It was originally known as southern Vitena or "Meridionia" and was home to the most indigenous peoples in the state likely due to more resources in the area. Nocaliana is over 85% forested with trees such as crape myrtle trees (genus Lagerstroemia), windmill palms (Trachycarpus fortunei), and toddy palms (Borassus flabellifer) dominating the forests, though all three species aren't native, they are considered extremely naturalized and are a very common sight for visitors. Nocaliana borders Clementine, Balmica and Vitena. With Clementine being considered Nocaliana's "twin state". Animals such as white-tailed deer are in exceptionally large numbers with Nocaliana having the third largest population of the white-tailed deer at nearly 1.17 million, falling behind Vitena and Bayland who has a very large non-native white-tailed deer problem. All three states are Bay States, which is strange because white-tailed deer are not known to be native to the areas around the bay. Nocaliana is also home to large populations of raccoon, vine snakes, and long-haired field rats. A fair amount of reptiles, amphibians, and fish are also found in the state and if you live in Nocaliana, you'd likely have seen at least one or two cottonmouth snakes prowling around your yard. 
== Demographics ==
Nocaliana is 58% European with the largest ancestry being from the Isle of Chark (49% of the total population). A large population of Hispanics, Southern Herethearians, and Asians are prevalent in the state. About 37% of the population is Hispanic, 3% are Asian, and 2% are southern Herethearian, though percentages are stronger in cities like Agricola where Hispanics and Southern Herethearians dominate Europeans (Hispanic 44%, S. Herethearian 21%, White 29%). Nocaliana, Dasinglet, Desert Sur, Bayland and Southport are the top five states with the highest population of people of color likely due to their location being the most convenient to the southern Herethearian Islands and Oglos compared to other states. About 82% of Nocaliana is Christian, 77% of these Christians being Roman Catholics, 3% being Mainline Protestants, and 2% being other Christians. 17% of the population is unaffiliated and 1% are Makolan folk religion.
