Information about Al-Nasri

**Al-Nasri** (Nasrian: *النصري*, transliterated as *Alnasri*), officially the **Unitarian Republic of Al-Nasri** (Nasrian: *جمهورية الموحدين النصري*, transliterated as *Jumhuriat Almuhadin Alnasrii*) is a country in the south-west of the continent, including the farthest south point of the continent (Aljazira Island). The country is bordered to the west by Osebia and to the east by Cadilly, having a coastal side in the south.

The country's capital city is Al-Nasri City, and other major urban areas include Shahiira, the largest city of the country by population, Insaf Al-Eid, Adil and Daifallah.

Al-Nasri is considered the place where modern humans first set out and started to expand, since the oldest skeletal evidence for anatomically modern humans has been found in the country. According to linguists, the national language of Al-Nasri, the Nasrian language, is considered the oldest living one, since it has been spoken in the area for more than three thousand years, although with natural modifications with time.

In the early modern times, around the VII century, the Zakaria Caliphate, considered the first modern version of the Nasrian State, began an expansion through the bordering countries, invading a big part of Cadilly, Cravaos and Osebia. That led to a large cultural and linguistic legacy all over the south-west part of the continent. However, the expansion was stopped and the country became a democracy with the current name.

At present, Al-Nasri is a secular parliamentary democracy with an unitarian republic, with Faaid al-Mansur serving as the head of state. It is considered a developed country, havin the bigest GDP per capita of the continent. It is a member of different organisations, including the United Tenan Nations Organisation (UTNO), the Economic Community (ECo) and the Tenan Broadcasting Union (TBU). Since the country is part of the ECo, the official currency is the shared Subo ($) (ECS).

## Physical Geography

Al-Nasri is a mostly flat country, with small elevations on the border with Cadilly, where they take the form of a mountain range. These conditions together with the mild temperatures all-year-round have created a perfect development opportunity for agriculture and cattle raising.

The south of the country is completely bordered by the Asrack Ocean, although the east of the Aljazira Island has coast to the Slavic Sea. This island is located in the farthest south point of the continent, and it is actually closer to Cadilly than to the Nasrian mainland.

Talking about the Nasrian climate conditions, the country mainly has an asrackian climate, with hot summers and mild winters. However, in the interior of the country winters get cooler than usual due to the influence received by the Cadillian Mountains to the east. This even gives the north-east part of the country a mountain weather with colder temperatures including some snow in winter times. In the Aljazira Island, a tropical climate can be found, without weather differences between seasons.

## Politics

Al-Nasri is a unitary centralised parliamentary republic, meaning that the executive power is held by one person, the President of Al-Nasri, and the legislative power is held by the parliament, Bayt Alnasriiyn (بيت النصريين) (House of Nasrians), that is elected and replaced every four years.
