Ashulovaria: Nations at War

Ashulovaria: Nations at War is the first installment of Ashulovaria. It takes place \_\_ years after a great war weakened the powers of the major nations, and tensions still have yet to settle.

## Nations

*The Nations Currently on Ashulovaria*
​

*Include*
​

*Cantalave // Drocosta // Druilorlas // Konokan // Kraitaia // Nordwin // Pavillion Union // Vuxeoste*
​

​

*The Nations Previously on Ashulovaria*
​

​

 *Vuxtisae // Sysreq // Holy Castan Empire // Konokan Empire // Castia // Crillion // Paves*

**Cantalave**
​

 Capital City: Royalste
​

 ​

 The Republic of Cantalave
​

​

 Catalave has the same story as Nordwin,
but its people are more divided on the issue, with many still wanting to
 stay independent. With booming fishing, shipping, manufacturing, and
tourism industries it has done quite well on its own. With lush tropical
 forests and beautiful beaches Cantalave is one of the most unique
landscapes in the area. With this strong division between the people of
Cantalave, what will come of this country in the future?

 Cantalave people are ethnically Konokish,
 and the nation is divided into one province (Metropolitan Cantalave)
and two small municipalities, which contain and surround the two biggest
 cities (the capital Royalste in the north, and Annetia in the south)

**Drocosta**
​

 Capital City: Acrine
​

 ​

**The Imperiya Drocosta**
​

 Once the leading nation in the world,
Drocosta suffered heavily from the Awrairian Era World War. One of the
major causes of the war was that the peasants grew tired of the
dictatorial leadership of Drocosta. Other nations, especially Konokan
came to the rebels aid. Ultimately, Konokan and the peasants won,
allowing them to form smaller nations from land they took by force.
Drocosta is still the largest nation on Ashulavaria, but it has lost
significant resources, power, and its royal bloodline was almost
completely destroyed. It’s main enemy is the second largest country
Konokan. Recently, it’s been encountering backlash and threats from the
people of Kraitaia, the most powerful new nation created from stolen
Drocostan land. In order to hopefully appease these people, the leading
families of Drocosta and Konokan/Kraitaia have decided to join as one through marriage. Hopefully things go as smoothly as planned…

**Druilorlas**
​

 Capital City: Kineacrine
​

 ​

**The Nation of Druilorlas**
​

 Druilorlas is the last of Drocosta's
colonies. It recently filed for partial independence, making it its own
nation but still under control of the absolute monarchy of Drocosta. It
supplies Drocosta with oil and lumber, making it an important asset. It
is located to the north of Drocosta, south of Kraitaia and east of
Konokan. What role will Druilorlas play in the future?

Konokan
​

 Capital City: Charlesburg
​

​

 The Metropolitan Kingdom of Konokan
​

​

 Konokan is the second largest country in Ashulovaria in landmass. It
lies on the western side of the continent with a large western coastline
 on the Xomolion Sea and a small coastline in the south on the Castan
Ocean. Konokan takes its roots in settlers moving across the sea to its
coast, starting as a small empire and eventually conquered the whole
Western side. During the third and fourth Castian Wars it invaded and
annexed all previous territory of the Holy Castan Empire (other than the
 land on the Drocostan Peninsula). In its peak it controlled over two
thirds of Ashulovaria. But during the reign of Charles V it lost seven
of its provinces (Kraitaia, Nordwin, Cantalave,Paves, Crillion,
Vuxeoste, and Castia) and became a republic with a monarch rather than
an emperor. It was an economic superpower during the great war, and
still holds its status as a superpower. It also lost its island province
 of Central Isles (Solstice & Equonix Isles) at the end of the war.
But with a new leader wanting the return of Empire, the province of
Sysreq wanting independence, and the commonwealth countries moving to
become more independent, will Konokan and its status survive much
longer?
​

​

 Konokan is made up of five provinces (Sysreq, Krait, Xom, Scots, and
Étar) with the capital city, Charlesburg, sitting on the boundary
between Xom and Scots. Konokan people are ethnically Konokish.

Kraitaia
​

 Capital City: New Charlesburg
​

​

 The Northern Territory of Kraitaia
​

 Founded as the last conquest before the
Courtis Dynasty took over the Konokan Empire. It is located in the
north, containing the western part of the Kraitan Mountain Range and the
 lowlands south of it, it is one of two landlocked countries. Kraitaia
was a rich and powerful province, but had many internal conflicts
between the Konokish people and the native Kraits, but they have been at
 peace for many decades now. Kraitaia was the second province (after
Vuxeoste) to gain independence as the empire became a republic. It is
now part of the Konokan Commonwealth. At the end of the Great War it
annexed a piece of old Drocostan land to create the province of East
Krait. Due to early chemical testing in the north, some of the people
have minimal genetic mutations (i.e. bright red or green hair, an extra
finger or toe, mutated height/body part length, etc.) with some causing
issues resulting in major disabilities, lack of certain organs forming,
and death. This experimentation in the north of the country during its
empire days has caused a deep-rooted anger within the populous. How will
 this hatred handicap their public relations within the world market
after so many years of suffering?
​

​

 Kraitaia is made up of three provinces
(New Krait, East Krait, and Montania) with the capital city, New
Charlesburg, lying near the boundary of New Krait and the Konokan
province of Krait. The people of Krataia are an ethnic mix of Konokish
and Krait, with a lot of mixed raced people.

Nordwin
​

 Capital City: Etokinse
​

​

 The Republic of Nordwin
​

​

 Nordwin was reluctant to leave the
Empire, but has been partially successful in its independance. It lies
to the west of Konokan and is heavily forested, but contains an area
known as ‘Death’s Strip’ in its south. It has a strong forestry
industry, but his been close to collapse since its split from the
empire. The majority of its citizens want to return under Konokian
control, which is strongly frowned upon by the League of Nations. Will
this possible re-annexation cause enough unrest for a conflict?
​

 Nordwin is made up of ethnically Konokish
 people, and has two provinces (Metropolitan Nordwin and South Nordwin).
 It’s capital city, Etokinse, is located on the edge of the two
provinces.

Pavillion Union
​

 Capital Cities: Castiana (Castia), Cez Dakin (Paves), and Latos de Felin (Crillion)
​

​

 Union of Pavillionic People's Territories (UPPT)
​

​

 The youngest country, it was formed at
the end of the war from three old provinces of Konokan and a small
Drocostan overseas territory. After release from their third empiric
occupation, the three nations stumbled blindly throughout the war,
having large losses of life, supplies, and infrastructure. After the war
 they formed into the Pavillionic Union. The union is formed together
more for strategic purposes than those of cultural, with all four
territories (the few Drocostians left, the Konokish, the Pavish, and the
 Crill) being strongly against this unification, and all crying
independance. The nation is slowly trying to convert to a republic,
which will allow more unification and less ability for one of the
territories to leave. What will this civil unrest do to the new
union-almost-republic, and what will it do to the nations surrounding
it?
​

 The Pavillion Union has three main
territories (Paves, Crillion, and Castia) as well as the mico-territory
of New Drocosta. It is the most ethnically diverse nation with Konokish,
 Pavish, Crill, and Drocostian people. The union doesn’t have a main
capital, but each of the three main territories has its own Capital.

**Vuxeoste**

 Capital City: Quav Nak
​

​

**The Kingdom of Vuxeoste**
​

 Vuxeoste
 is the smallest nation on Ashulovaria, but that doesn’t mean you should
 underestimate it. Vuxeoste is the oldest nation; rumours have it the
Vuxi people are the ones who named Ashulovaria. With rich history dating
 back thousands upon thousands of years, Vuxeoste is an incredibly
culturally diverse and prosperous nation. But not all of its history is
bright… During the Awrairian Era World War Vuxeoste was losing, badly.
It was being attacked at both sides by Drocosta and Konokan; with its
army becoming smaller every day, its leaders decided to take drastic
actions. They appointed the nation's brightest to start researching a
way to bring those fallen in the war… Back to life. The consequences for
 these actions were far worse than anyone could’ve predicted. They
didn’t succeed in bringing the dead back to life, instead they unleashed
 a newfound illness onto the world. The corpses of those fallen in the
war soon became toxic, any who went near soon fell prey to the Vexi
Plague. The plague did have benefits though, as it lead to the end of
the war as all nations on Ashulovaria peacefully worked together to find
 a cure. Vuxeoste is now the supplier of Castan Medicine, helping keep
the Vexi Plague at bay. At least, for now…
