Kantemosha & Ambrazka (Kantemoshan: Kantimossi ja Ambro, Ambrazkan: Kantemosko a Ambrozhko), officially the Republic of Kantemosha & Ambrazka, also known as 'The Union', is a young sovereign state situated in Western Euclea. It's borders meet with the countries of Soravia to the west, Kirenia to the east, and East Miersa and West Miersa to the direct south. It has a northern shoreline with the Perovo Sea, making it the only way in and out of the Republic by means of water transportation. The country spans over 372,431 km2 worth of land, with a population of 16.5 million people inhabiting it in scattered towns and cities, with most of the population concentrating on the northern shoreline. The Union is organized into 16 different provinces. The capital city of Koskunen lays in the midpart of the Kantemoshan Coast, boasting a population of 1.2 million people, almost 6% of Kantemosha's total population. Officially, the language of the Union is Kantemoshan, which is also the most spoken language, with Ambrazkan coming in a close second, spoken mostly in the state of Ambrazka in the southern part of the Union. Episemialist Sotirianity is the dominant religion of the Union, and has been so for most of its history, with 93% of the inhabitants of the Union following the Episemialist church's doctrine.

History
Early Regional History
It is common consensus amongst anthropologists and historians that the first walled settlements along the Kantemoshan coastline were Marolevic migrants moving from the west during the years of 600-610 AD. Some of these early Marolevs stayed in Kantemosha, either due to the possibility of a rich catch or economic opportunity. Whichever reason truly motivated them, they were inclined to set up numerous walled villages and towns along the common path of migration, farming various cereals and sugar beets to sustain themselves alongside catches from annual fish migrations across the Perovo Sea, interbreeding with Kostellime natives in the area, giving them a sense of individuality from common Marolevs in due time.
Following decades of settlement, Northern Kantemosha was dotted with individual citystates vying for control over fishing grounds and abundant, yet valuable plots of land. This land was often scarred with works of irrigation ditches, dikes and other water control measure to exploit seasonal storms for agricultural use and storage within granite cisterns, either in use by castles or communally in small towns. Fighting over these works and the land they modified was not uncommon, manifesting as quick and bloody skirmishes between often conscripted peasants and/or reservist citizen soldiers, as it was too financially straining for some of these city states to keep standing, as is the case with many other parts of the world. Rarely in the time before the 8th century were city states prompted to try and work together, instead vying to stay independent and only collectively fighting against mutual enemies.
With the discovery of shipwrecks on the Porovo seafloor full of a variety of products, including sealed vases of honey (in the case of the Miisula wreck found off the coast of Samistopol), it has been surmised that the various city states of Kantemosha had rather profitable trade with the northern principalities of the Great Vesemir confederacy, particularly to the port cities of Lipa, Samistopol, and Ovdapol. Westerly going trade from Ambrazka to Ulan Khol and Uzyn has been proven by unearthing of period-specific trash alongside buried stone roads in eastern modern Soravia, ontop of preserved parchments and/or interpretations of oral stories onto paper described these trails as being particularly treacherous and an unpopular route to take for merchants.

Agriculture
Between the two states in the Union, Kantemosha retains most of the country's fertile land. With a high aquifer, rick dark soil and a decent number of rivers with many estuaries providing natural irrigation to any farming developments on the Kantemoshan coast, the area lends itself to use as farmland. This makes the state of Kantemosha the area where an overwhelming 64% of farming is done, including subsistence and commercial agriculture. Agricultural infrastructure in Kantemosha is very developed due to Soravian subsidies during their rule, especially during the Great War when the government put a great deal of money into the state.
Primary crops grown in Kantemosha and Ambrazka are rye, sugar beets, potatoes, and carrots, being the objective of most of the Union government's subsidies put into agriculture. There is a rising percentage of land being devoted to cultivating rapeseed and mustard to domestically produce bio-diesel, but these acres of land combined only make up 2% of fertile land used in Kantemosha . Livestock raising is more common in Ambrazka, but constitutes a small percentage of the Unions agricultural output, often not being enough to fully satisfy the needs of the nation and often prompting imports of meat and dairy products from either Soravia or Kirenia. The food crops themselves are often exported in bulk to other countries due to a great excess every harvest, these exports often coming to other nations in the form of processed food stuffs.
The Kantemoshan fishery is a moderately sized industry, though not nearly as big as land cultivation. Holding a small fishing fleet, most of Kantemosha's domestically produced fish come from land/shore based fish farms that raise sturgeon, cod, mussels (including pearl mussels) and pike. About 70% of the Union's fish consumed by its population come from Soravia and Caldia, with the former making up most of the import traffic due to proximity and due to Samorspi trade treaties.
Industry
The Union suffers greatly from its pre-independence relegation as an agricultural core of Soravia and being used as a buffer state, with heavy industry besides basic processing of raw materials being in an almost non-existent state. Low investment by foreign industrial firms, corruption and corporatization of the vast agricultural industry of the country has only served to keep the country mated to this industry as a method of making money for government programs and for people to spend. As such, the most significant exports by the Union are of its various agricultural stocks and the various raw materials afforded by it, that being copper, coal, lumber, and a minor other few. Despite this, the Union's government has taken steps to make the Union less dependent on foreign manufacturers for refined goods, and as such, has employed many foreign advisors to preside over the creation of nationalized industries and innovate upon existing ones.
The Kantemoshan and Ambrazkan government has made multiple subsidies to local manufacturing startups, especially with investment into the Ambrazkan Automobilový závod Bybrowa (AzB), leftover after breaking from Soravia in the 80s. This is also done to existing heavy industrial enterprises, such as the small coal mining industry present in Ambrazka and copper mills in Kantemosha, both leftovers from Soravian rule and the latter of which has seen increasing viability in today's international market.

Education
The majority of educational institutions in the Union are public, regulated and controlled by the Kantemoshan Federal Education Commission headquartered in Kuskak. Whilst recent years have seen the appearance of more private primary and secondary schools, most private education institutions are post-secondary schools with specific niches that the government's public colleges do not fulfill or are inadequate in fulfilling. Homeschooling without license and/or training (depending on the province) is considered a misdemeanor and is paramount to child neglect in the Union, however, there are movements trying to repeal or reform this law. Religious education is always there throughout public schooling in the Union, being more pervasive in primary schools than secondary schools as the latter have less funds to work with on average in regards to their more varied curriculum.
Parents of children are often recommended by the government to put their children into preschools by the age of four, though are enforced to put them in if they haven't by the age of six. Preschool and kindergarten/'Lasten puutarha' focuses mostly on teaching the children Kantemoshan (and/or Ambrazkan, depending on the district or province), counting, the alphabet. Such curriculums are also engineered to find out possible career/artistic interests early on, acting as a 'litmus test' for parents when children grow older, so as to help them find their way in the job market. Upon reaching the first grade of five in primary schools, children are immediately exposed to basic principles like arithmetic, geography, science, etc. Going throughout primary school, more complex subjects are touched upon throughout, though the scientific curriculum in primary school is canted towards giving children the foundations for a possible career in the agricultural sector, in compliance with the 1981 Järvensaari Act that emphasized career education in public schools. Extracurricular activities are limited and are usually organized by parents rather than the schools.
Secondary school would ideally begin once children were entering or just entering their teenage years, going on for six more grades. Increasingly more complex subjects would be taught and within the latter two years of secondary school, career classes to determine the 'best fit' for individual students are required to graduate, aswell as college preparation classes. Extracurricular activities in secondary schools are, in direct contrast to primary school protocol, organized by the school itself.
