Know for its historical tourist destinations and rich farming land, Larova is one of thenoldest monarchies in Lira with the Grand Duchy dating back to the 2nd century A.D. Larozan coal is also an important energy source within the nation, but in recent years has drawn criticism for its pollution compared to the rest of Lira.

Today Larova is regarded as an unstable nation with much of the northern portion of the nation in open revolt against the royal government.

Politics

Larova is a small player on the international stage with most of its focus on internal matters and instability. Military aide for the country is commeon due to constant violent uprisings which in turn surpress the Larovan economy. The government itself is kept alive by proxy as it is the easiest means for foreign interests to maintain stability in the nation.

Its largest neighbor Ackesia has an increasing interest in the nation as a significant amount of its exports travel through Larova via rail to western Lira. Ackeisan energy conglomorates also are heavily invested in its coal industry. Due to this and the violence in the north where much of the insrability exists, Ackesian peacekeepers are a constant in the country. This is with cooperation of the Larovan government.
