Elysian Katonia

## Map

**Elysian Katonia** (abbreviated **EK**), usually shortened to **Katonia**, formerly **Servers Past** , is one of the 15 districts of Vooperia. Its current Senator is Jambon. Notable individuals from the district include Snovaltica. The district shares many cultural and geographic similarities with its neighbor Los Vooperis.

Elysian Katonia has been, in comparison to most districts, very stable and peaceful recently (Notably not participating in the Icelesian War and other crises). The districts beaches and picturesque islands serve as tourist destinations for millions of Vooperians each year.

One unofficial motto of the district is to be “United in Diversity.” The tourism industry certainly agrees, as the preservation of hundreds of Terran cultures has fostered unique agriculture, customs and traditions, and cuisine. Fusions of Cantonese, Hawaiian, Malay, Thai, Tibetan (and much more) cuisine is particularly common in Katonia, making the district arguably the best in cuisine. Of course, Sushi fast food and Pandan Bakeries certainly help out.

## History

The history of Elysian Katonia is still being discussed in our discord. However, TWO PROPOSALS are listed here.

### Proposal 1

After the terraformation of Vooperia, multiple competing colonies on the eastern isles developed under the name of “Servers Past,” a hallmark to the “Servers” (an outdated nickname for islands) having endemic cultures almost directly transported and preserved from all corners of the globe.

The Colony of Praiterra, shortened of “Terrum Praiteritum” roughly meaning “Earth’s past” was the first to achieve legitimacy. Based around what would now be called Aostii City, Praiterra County, the colony annexed most of the land, incorporating first Iridian and Asan Bay (then called Asaiphos), until uniting the entire island, even if said island was larger than continents back on Earth.

Eventually, with the threat of being annexed by neighbouring New Vooperis , Praiterra federalized into the District of Katonia, joining the colonies of Nivrios, Crimson, Azureland, and Azarland together. In the process, Nivrios was split by the Senate, fearing that Katonia would outcompete the emerging Los Vooperis.

### Proposal 2

The settlements in Landing Cove and the rest of Vooperia was set up as extremely Anglo-centric. Issues of racial and cultural sensitivity led to the settling of the Eastern Isles with ethnic minorities.

Some examples of which were the . . . sudden supposed clearance of many ethnic Asians from Earth. This previewed the mass refugees of niche Asiatic cultures in Katonia and Los Vooperis.

## Islands Summary

Elysian Katonia is composed of four main islands, Praiterra, Azure, Crimson, and Nivrios. The term “Azure Archipelago” has fallen out of colloquial usage being only found in District Legislation.

However, there are many numerous islands across Katonia that are not just periphery nor satellite islands of the main 4.

### Praiterra

Praiterra is by far the largest island in the district and also the 3rd largest in all of Vooperia. The island's largest city, Praiterra City, is the capital of Elysian Katonia. The island is separated into 6 councils, Asan Bay, Volus, Izmint, Tiemarkerre, Iridan, and Praiterra. Praiterra is known for having large cities, such as Praiterra City, Nanedeniz-Yeni Istanbul, Shoreview, Aostii, and Radiatoropol. Radiatoropol is also the centre of the Annual Pasta-Making festival in Vooperia.

### Praiterra City

Praiterra City is the beating heart of Katonia. The City is located on the peninsula between the (Grand) Praiterra Bay and the Jambon Inland Sea.

City Divisions:

### Crimson

Crimson is located to the south of Praiterra and west of Azure. It consists of two distinct parts, the eastern side having a large mountain range while the other being more hilly. Both sides support forests and logging. They are connected by a piece of low-lying, fertile land. This fertile land allows Crimson to produce much of Elysian Katonia's food. The island's two largest cities are Kaiserland and Meegablo. Kaiserland used to be the former capital of Crimson and is significantly older than Meegablo. Meegablo itself is quite new, being created by Counciller Daniel only a few (irl) months ago and is Crimson's current capital. It is the bustling hub of Crimson with many factories and technolgy centers. The northern and western parts of the island are frequently ravaged by hurricanes (such as Hurricane Kobe, which made landfall twice as a Superstorm and destroyed a newly completed Meegablo).

### Nivrios

Located to the west of Praiterra, Nivrios (also called Nivrullian or Nivridianos) is quite diverse when it comes to climate. The coast supports many beaches, but the island gets more mountainous the further you go in. The island's diverse climate allows it to grow more exotic foods than any other island (especially lemons). The largest cities are New Fiji, Sentosa Harbor, and the Port of Nivrullian, although the 3 cities are a part of the bigger metropolitan area known in English as Metro Nivrullian. Additionally, some communities outside of the metro include Don Limonye-Mediterranea and Nivrideos Township. Nivrullian is the only district to share a land border with another district, that being Los Vooperis. Nivrullian was the founder of Nivrideo Radio Station, Elysian Katonia's most popular Radio station, and Servers Past Post, Elysian Katonia's forefront news outlet staffed by Snovaltikos and Daniel.

#### Mount Nivridia

The Mountain of Nivrios (also known as the Ascension Mountain of Nivridiana), at the height of 7583ft, is the tallest mountain in Nivrullian and Elysian Katonia. Its mountainous layers provide plants of almost every climate. The leeward western end is full of cold steppe scenery, small isolated valleys of desert cacti, and Mediterannean Lemon Groves. Contrasted of this is the extremely wet windward east side, which partially crosses into Los Vooperis. Its subtropical highlands are full of coffee and cocoa, Pine groves and berry bushes. Brave hikers as well as those on helicopters can witness the Statue of Nivridia bestowing luck down from the mountains' peaks to the Jambon Inland Sea. Having so much scenery, it's no wonder that this was the first Interdistrict National Park to be ever be created in Vooperia.

### Azure

Azure is located to the southwest of Praiterra and west of Crimson. It is wet and tropical with vast parts of the island covered in lush rainforests dating before colonization and settlement. The center of the island is very mountainous. The island's main revenue source is tourists, who come to see the island's beautiful rainforests. The main attraction is Akala Kahakai National Park, home to Azure's best rainforests. The island was once split into 2 districts up until quite recently. A majority however, voted to unify them. There is still some resentment however, particularly in the south. The district's largest city is Azureport, which is the main hub of the island and contains finance, technology, and commerce centers. It also contains the district's largest harbor. The second largest city, Tealmont, is also a major hub of the island. Its port accomidates many cruise ships coming to and from the island. Aquamarina, a decently sized city found north of Tealmont, is the district's tourism center and contains many resorts and attractions to people staying there, such as the Teal-tinted cliffs of the island.. The main agricultural center of the island, Pastaville, and its surrounding towns and farms, make most of Azure's food. The city is especially known for its award-winning pasta, competing with Radiatoropol for culinary fame. Although not a severly affected as Crimson, Azure (especially Azureland) is frequently hit by hurricanes.

## Government

Elysian Katonia is, like all the districts, headed by a Senator, who represents the interests of Katonian Elysium at the Imperial Senate. Elysian Katonia is divided into 10 Councils, each run by a Counciller. The Councillers meet in Praiterra City, and they act as the legislative body for the district. Councillers are decided by a district-wide vote, after which they serve for life unless they move or are impeached.

Current Councillers:

* Iridian - Aethon
* Azureland - Jeffrey
* Crimson - Daniel
* Asan Bay - Jackred
* Nivrullian - Snovaltica
* Izmint - Jambon

### Military

Due to Katonia being a group of islands it has placed high emphasis on its navy, having one of Spook Vooper's largest sea forces. Its air forces are only average and its army is lackluster. Its military hierarchy is thus structured with the Commander of the Navy being the highest ranked military official followed by the Commander of the Air and Commander of the Army. As of now, the navy is commanded by Daniel. The air and army are jointly commanded by IronBird.

## Demographics

### Ethnicity

Katonia is one of the most ethnically diverse districts in all of Vooperia. The island's tropical nature allows it to have many different races and backgrounds of people from Earth. On Crimson, you can find Jews on the western side and Russians on the colder, southern side. On Nivrullian, a distinct Polynesian and Asian culture is evident, with Vooperia’s only Tibetan, Kayin, Khmer, Hunanese, and Ainu communities being located on Nivrullian. On the main island of Praiterra, various European and Asian cultures have developed. Asan Bay is home to many Georgians, Azerbaijanis, and other Caucasians. Izmint has Turkish, Cypriot, and French influences. The islands are much less Anglicized (influenced by English cultures) than other districts, which helps to preserve many cultures and traditions.

### Language

Due to its ethnic diversity, Katonia has many different languages. There is currently a conlang being developed by Snovaltikos that will eventually become Katonia's offical language. However, the conlang is currently on pause.

## Climate and Topography

Although there is no current canon Climate and Topography for any district, Katonia has made a proposal for its own district.
