The Overseas Territory of Kva Norale is in extra-regional state under the jurisdiction of The Kingdom of Amador in the Badlands Frontier. Founded in 1313 AD as a forward operating base during a period of expeditions undertaken by the Kingdom of Amador, Kva Norale is among the most important international territories from the pre-isolation periods. A cold, desolate land almost completely devoid of arable land, Kva Norale is notable for the existence and its primary population of Snow Elves, a distinct subspecies of Elf in the wider Imperium.

Amador is a state sworn subservience to the queen of Amador, Maeralya Amador. Her son, Gaeleath, is the acting governor, enforcing the Queen's laws. As an extra-regional state, Kva Nalore possesses vast autonomy to make laws to govern and approrpirate regional influence under the direction of the Governor and the Council of Twelve. A land largely of elves, Kva Nalore is nonetheless home to various other species inclduing humans and various other nonhuman sentient species.

Kva Nalore is noted to be an extensive regional supplier of coal, natural gas, and oil. The Nalorian Oil Industry is among the largest in the region, extending influence to Kva Nalore in regional politics. Kva Nalore possesses the largest whaling in the region. The State is also noted for its pristine winter beauty, with countless wintery waterfalls dotting the northern reaches of the territory.

As a territory of the Kingdom of Amador, Kva Norale is home to extensive military installations. The city of Shen Borgisk is home to the Fifth Fleet Amadorius located at Naval Station Korvisk, a defensive fleet with the stated goal of defending Kva Nalore and her surrounding possessions. Extensive influxes of not only military personnel, but of Amadorian high society, as the land is seen as a vacation destination despite its inhospitable environment and hostile regional neighbors. The Kva Noral Regional Fleet Command is also based in Shen Borgisk.

Geography

Kva Norale is located in the northern Badlands on the island of Syenbel. Synebel is noted for its mountainous terrain, pristine waterfalls, and numerous flowing rivers. Kva Norale shares a maritime border with Kolthor. The nation is heavily forested in part due to its low population density.

Infrastructure

Transportation Network

Rail

The most robust form of public transportation in Kva Norale is through the rail network. Rail networks are divided into two main categories: Standard and High-Speed. Standard rail typically operates between a major city and the outlying villages and towns, whereas high-speed rail links all major cities on the island. Major distribution hubs dot the nation through its northern and southern areas. In the north, where much of the oil and natural gas industries persist, train yards featuring more than 12 tracks in length are present, representing the sigfnicant rail invstment the Council of Twelve has made. The high-speed rail in particular has two succinct sectors: cargo and passenger. The rail network itself is extensive, reaching in excess of 18,000 kilometers in total length.

There are an estimated 1,304 locomotives operating on Kva Norale's rail system, a number inflated due to the overly extensive network. Over a period of twenty years starting in 1990, Kva Norale saw in increase of passenger and cargo traffic in the territory by 392 % compared to the increase in rail lines only be 28 %. The system is considered overburdned, though efforst are being made to increase train size and expand on existing infrastructure. Passenger and cargo trains operate on their own seperate systems, though interoperability exists in a number of areas for ease of convenience.

Road Network

Kva Norale possess a small, albeit robust road network that connects all cities and outlying villages on the island. A small country, the territory has a small highway system administered by the State Highway Authority. The highway system itsels serves major airports, military bases, ports, rail and truck terminals, and numerous other strategic transport facilities throughout Kva Norale. In all, the road network streches some 28,983 miles, with 2,094 miles of state managed highways.

Despite the robust road system, Kva Norale does not encourage personal vehicle ownership. Owing in part to its heritage as a state of the Amadorian Imperium, heavy emphasis is places on others means of transportation, such as bus, rail, and air. The primary designated purpose of the state-owned highway system is to allow fast access of military hardware between major cities and to help aid strategic defense initiatives. With the hostilities of the region, the road system itself is designed to be wide, relatively straight, and at a smooth gradient to allow proper movement of military supplies.
