Obna Vira

**Obna Vira** (Sometimes Obnavira or Obnevirah) is a small, landlocked country in the southeastern Old World, located north of Khartnett and at the crossroads of eastern Sidrova and western Mynnuka. Its capital city is Bearingsham located at the dead center of the country and its largest city is The Hunting Grounds, followed by Wyyatth.

## History

Obna Vira and Khartnett used to be apart of Mynnuka up until 1892 when the two split due to a overall feeling of inequality to the dominant power of the Mynnuki government, and a treaty made the two countries legally separate from the former. Unlike other surrounding countries, Obna Vira is primarily Chartequincian based due to a long history of it gaining rule from the Chartequincy Royal Family. Chartequincy English is the main and only relevant language in the country's government to make laws and to use in court. Obna Vira is also an English phonetic spelling of the Mynnuki word "obnevirah" meaning "cracked land," this was named due to the land being fairly overcast and dry with lots of cracks in the wildland soils. From 1883 forward, the land was fairly uninhabited due to being far from the capital Sharigno located in the central-eastern portion of the country and thus was home to approximately 2,431 Chartequincian pioneers who marked Obna Vira based in the center of the Sidrova River to the west and the River of Wy to the east. To the south of the country, the Khartnett border was peacefully agreed on by a fence to split the two distinct peoples' thoughts and government.
