'''Cavunia''' ([[Cavunian]]: ''Kavunija''), formally known as the Republic of Cavunia ([[Cavunian]]: ''Republika Kavunija'') is a sovereign state in the southwestern [[Alisna]], bordering [[Mizialand]] to the west, [[Styria]] to the northeast and [[Berry]] to the west. With an area of 286,754km², Cavunia is considered a [[List of countries and dependencies in Maredoratica by area|medium-sized country]]. It has diverse relief, ranging from low-lying plains to high mountains, and climate, with {{wpl|Oceanic climate|oceanic}} in the north, {{wpl|Mediterranean|mediterranean}} in the south and {{wpl|Alpine climate|alpine}} in the west.
'''Cavunia''' ([[Kunak]]: ''Kabunia''), formally known as the Republic of Cavunia ([[Kunak]]: ''Respublïka'sı Kabunyý'') is a sovereign state in the central [[Coius]], bordering [[Zorasan]] to the west and north, [[Dezevau]] to the northeast and [[Yi]] to the south. With an area of 1,279,308 km², Cavunia is ''20th - 25th'' biggest country in [[Kylaris]]. It's mostly a mountainous country, with over ''80-90%'' of the area above 300 metres.


The present day Cavunia was firstly inhabited by [[Damantians|Damantae]] people, who inhabited mostly northern parts of the country and [[Val-Tremè]] region. The southern parts were later conquered by the [[Sessitensian Empire]] that established a governor and created the regions of Cabonae and Tremenum. In late V century, [[Kapvans|Kapvan]] and [[Nebotians|Nebotian people]] arrived, attacking the country and later, after the collapse of the empire, creating the [[Kingdom of Cabonae]] in 506. King [[Tanuk]] was christianized in 943, funding a feudal monarchy, that fought for control over the region with Damantians. In 965 king [[Mircea I]] married Damantian princess [[Lindita]], unifying the nation. In renneisance times, Cavunia became a secondary power and didn't participate in the colonial race. During XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries, De Folé dynasty, coming from [[Berry|Berrian]] nobility, was ruling the land. The [[Spring Constitution]] was signed in 1820 and Cavunia enter industrial era. In 1914 Cavunia joined the League of Three Empires in the [[Great Maredoratic War]] and after its defeat in 1920, the nation entered a political and social crisis that ended in 1923, when the last king, [[Juraj Nedija]], was assassinated by the proletiare agents and [[Božan Vilkov]] became the new leader, turning Cavunia into [[generalism|generalist system]], that ended in 1983, with signing [[Winter Constitution]] and creating first fully free elections.
The present day Cavunia was first settled in around the 4th century by various tribes that would practice nomadic lifestyle. First permament settlement appeared in the 11th century, when the traders from ''Dezevau'' created a trade hub alogside ''some river''. This in turn allowed ''some religions'' to spread into Cavunia. Up until the late 17th century, various tribes fought over the control of the region, warring and raiding each other and neighbouring states. In 1689, chief of the Kunak tribe, [[Gölay Gölay]], conquered most of the modern Cavunian territory and proclaimed himself the only leader of the newly founded federation, abandoning semi-nomadic government. Later, in the 19th century, Cavunia became a tributary state of ''some empire'' and was under foreign governance up until the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], though, due to low population density and harsh climate, maintained a fair level of autonomy. After the Great War various clans desired to control the reborn Cavunian nation, resulting in a civili war that lasted until 1960, when the [[Unity Law]] was signed, proclaiming Cavunia as a unitary republic rather than a federation, with every ethnic group receiving equal rights.  


Cavunia is a {{wpl|parliamentary republic}}, where [[Negadica]] - Cavunian version of a parliament - wields the most power. The country is divided into 14 [[kraj (Cavunia)|krajs]] and 4 cities. The nation leads a passive role in the world's politics and it has mostly neutral stance towards international incidents and issues. It's a developing economy with a major industries being {{wpl|mining}} (especially iron, copper and silver), {{wpl|metallurgy}} and {{wpl|creative industries}}, such as cinema or music.  
Cavunia is a {{wpl|presidential republic}}, where the president wields the most power. Current leader, [[Ari Maltıqa]] is the head of the state since 2003. The country is divided into 11 ''[[banirai]]'' and 3  ''[[töq]]'' (cities). The nation possesses a minor role in the world's politics and it has mostly neutral stance towards international incidents and issues. It's a part of [[Community of Nations]], [[International Trade Organisation]] and [[International Forum for Developing States]]. It's a rapidly growing economy with a major industries being {{wpl|natural gas}} extraction, {{wpl|mining}} (especially iron, copper and salt), {{wpl|metallurgy}} and {{wpl|agriculture}}.


With a population of 25,119,802, Cavunia is ranked [[List of countries in Maredoratica by population|30th]] in [[Maredoratica]]. Most of the population inhabits southern coast, lowlands and around the [[Proder]] and [[Trapan]] lakes, where the biggest cities are placed. Only 63% people live in urban areas, making Cavunia one of the least {{wpl|urbanization|urbanized}} countries in the world. The capital of Cavunia is [[Trigorje]] and it's the only city with more than million inhabitants. Other big cities are [[Tremenica]], [[Bijeli Breg]], [[Vylegrad]] and [[Neđanje]]. Cavunia is a {{wpl|polyethnicity|polyethnic}} country - 70% of population has [[Cavunians|Cavunian]] origin, while 27% declares Damantian ethnicity. Other groups include Kapvans, Nebotians, Berrians and Mizians.
With a population of 27,522,309, Cavunia is ranked ''25th - 30th'' in Kylaris. It's one of the least dense country in the world, with most of the population inhabiting north eastern areas, spread along [[Eagle River]]. Nearly 4 million resides in the aglomeration of [[Aq'Hort]]. Dominant ethnic group is Kunak, with significant Balrik, Ibeki, Sogdhyn and Udde minorities as well. Though most people describe themselves as irreligious, [[Badi]] is a traditional religion that still prevailed throghout the country.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name "Cavunia" was first used during Sessitensian times, when {{wpl|Latin|Sessitensian}} and local tribal languages of the region mixed, creating a distinct dialect, that later formed the basis for modern [[Cavunian]] language. The southern parts of Cavunia were firstly named "Cabonae" but the meaning of the word is a subject of discussion - the most common theory is that it delivers its name from the term "cavo" that means "to make a hole, dig", as it's the reference to many workers migrating to the area in order to dig the fundaments for many walls and fortifications that were built during the era. Others claim "Cavunia" comes from "cabo" - a {{wpl|cape}}, as a cape of civilization, since Cavunia was the westernmost part of the empire.
The modern term ''Cavunia'' was first used by Dezevauani traders, referring loosely to people inhabiting the area. It originally meant "wanderers" (Kunak: ''kabunyý'') and was most probably used to distinguish the nomadic tribes that lived south of the Lake Bakhtegan from settled traders. Later, under the conquest of Gölay Gölay, the name gained a broader use, as the chief called the newly founded confederation "Cavunian Republic", meaning literally republic of the wanderers. The choice was dictated by the unstable loyalty of non-Kunak tribes that supported Gölay Gölay as long as they were granted pirivilages. It also was meant to attract other still independent nomadic tribes to join the confederation.


Migrating tribes from the north adopted the name "Cabonae", though, following the {{wpl|slavicisation}} of the people, it evolved into "Kavona" and later into "Kavuna". The first written record of the term "Kavunija" appears in the treaty ''De Regem'' from 913 and, since then, is an official name used on the court and in the documents.  
During the 18th and 19th century the name Cavunia became a conventional name for the region itself, however, internally, a simple term "confederation" (Kunak: ''ıteqşem'', literally ''together'') was used more commonly. Following a foreign rule and the rise of nationalism within the country, several clans created the [[Great Circle (Cavunia)|Great Circle]] and promoted the creation of independent nation known as Cavunia.
 
After the Great War rivalries between ethnic groups and the overtaking of power by Kunak people the term ''Cavunia'' became a call for equality and a symbol of unity. In 1960, when the Unity Law was signed, it was stated in the [[Constitution of the Republic of Cavunia]] that ''the republic of Cavunia has only one name and that name is to be used by every citizen, in every place and on every day in Cavunia''. Internationally, the authorities have asked to alter any exisiting names of the country to ''Cavunia'' and to be it the only official name of the republic.


==History==
==History==
===Early history===
===Nomadic history===
Archeologists date the first evidence of human habitation in the Valley of Tremen back to around 40'000 BC and the first stone tools were found near the town of [[Praseli]]. The ancient people settled around lakes [[Trapan lake|Trapan]] and [[Proder lake|Proder]], forming small, warring societies of hunters-gatherers that used basic weapons, firstly from stone, later from copper. The first signs of {{wpl|agriculture}} appeared around 10'500 BC and focused mostly on {{wpl|wheat}} harvesting and {{wpl|livestock}} {{wpl|animal husbandry|rearing}}. At the beggining of XX century, two ancient settlements were discovered - one near the village of Kraljevica and the other one about 70 km west of [[Tremenica]], both of them preserved in a residual state but with a visible remnants of wooden fortications - most probably simple pales - and embankments.
===First Kunak State===
 
===Kingdom of Öde & Balrik state===
Many independent tribes inhabited the region before the Sessitensian conquest, sharing one language family - with one of them, [[Damantian language|Damantian]] being still alive, and worshipping the same pantheon, where the figure of mother-breeder was the most important one, as a lot of resembling figurines of obese faceless ladies, were found across the country. Around 600 BC, sources of iron in the [[Morvan mountains]] began being exploited and the construction techniques came into use, allowing a creation of, for example, two-storied buidlings or bridges. In III century BC, tribes in the northern part of Cavunia were united, forming the basics of the [[Kingdom of Damantia]], that later became the major tribal rival of the Sessitensian Empire.
===Second Kunak State===
 
===Federation of the Cavunians===
Due to a positioning of rivers and lakes, the central part of the country played the biggest part during the era. Small towns, such as [[Furije|Fyrrjë]] or [[Ardent|Agrtaga]] were economic and commercial hubs, controlling the trade over the rivers and maintaining political and military status. It's speculated that Fyrrjë was a capital of Damantian chiefs, due to its location, and it was also an important religious site.
===Imperial rule===
 
===The Great War===
===Sessitensian era===
===Federative Republic of Cavunia===
The first appearance of the Sessitensian people is dated back to between 150 - 170 CE. Archeologist found small mining sites in the western parts of [[Morvan mountains]] that were most possibly built by Sessitensians. Due to low population of the region, Morvan foothills were slowly incorporated into the empire. The first town, [[Trigorje|Tresmontes]] was established around 190 CE along the [[Ordena|Ordena river]] and served as marble and stone producer.
===The civil war===
 
===Post-civil war===
At the beginning of III century, Sessitensian army arrived in the area and began moving west, forcing [[Damantians|Damantian]] tribes to move away. By 230 CE, all the land between [[Proder]] and [[Trapan]] lakes was occupied by the Sessitensian empire. Several settlements were funded and first trade route was created between the towns of [[Trapanto]], [[Tremenica|Tremenum]] and Tresmontes.
 
In 218 CE, the second Sessitensian army passed the [[Getterian Massif]] and marched down the rivers [[Bobadan]] and then [[Duklja (river)|Duklja]], eradicating [[Nebotians|Nebotian]] villages. Between years 220 - 240 CE, Sessitensian empire gain a full control over the region. Together with northern lands it formed a province of Cabonae. During the century, the province served as a source of food, fish, marble, stone and silver for the empire. Because of its economical importance and a constant threat of tribal invasions, many roads were built to improve the mobility of traders, soldiers and workers. In 251 CE, following the attack on [[Kont|Contium]], the emperor ordered a construction of a forticiation system that would prevent the inferior tribes from raiding the province. The first wall, the [[Trapan Wall]], was finished in 268 CE. In 270, the [[Red Wall]] and [[Fortes Ptolones]] were constructed - at the time, they were one of the largest fortifications on the continent, covering an area of over 2'000 square kilometres. Nearly 15'000 soldiers could station in 7 forts, providing a solid military force.

==Geography==
==Geography==
Cavunia is located in southern [[Alisna]], covering an area of 286,754km², with 6,193km² standing for water bodies. Cavunia forms one landmass, with no {{wpl|island|islands}} or {{wpl|peninsula|peninsulas}} within its territory. The country is located between 43° and 54° {{wpl|latitude|latitudes}} and lies west of the prime meridian. The country is mostly mountainous and hilly, with only around 20% of the land laying lower than 300 metres. There are 31 peeks over 3'000 metres, with [[Mount Darmatan]] reaching 3'729 m. Geographically, Cavunia is divided into 6 regions - from north to south they are: North coast, [[Damantian Massif]], Central highlands, [[Morvan Mountains]], [[Getterian Massif]] and Southern lowlands. Often, Cavunian landscape is diversified by rivers, [[Duklja]] for example, or lakes, like [[Proder]] or [[Trapan]].
[[File:Kavunia physical map.png|thumbnail|right|Physical map of Cavunia.]]
North coast is the smallest part of the country. Its main features are wide, sandy beaches with cliffs and grassy plains, covered by mostly {{wpl|Temperate deciduous forest|deciduous forests}}. The delta of the [[Landh]] river is the lowest lying area of the entire Cavunia and it's very diverse, with {{wpl|bog|bogs}}, {{wpl|swamp|swamps}} and small lakes. The soil is fertile but it is often too wet to allow big-scale farming.
[[File:Trapan Lake.jpg|thumbnail|left|Trapan lake is the second biggest lake in Cavunia.]]
Damantian Massif separates north coast from central parts of the nation. It's the oldest mountainous formation, with heights not exceeding 2000 metres. The highest peek is [[Mount Arva]] - 1'924 metres. Two important rivers have their springs in these mountains: Landh and [[Kalava]]. Landh drives north, through the Girjan Upland while Kalava goes south, passing Damantian foothills and Drog's Bareer. It's a sparsely populated region, due to its mountainous relief and progressing {{wpl|erosion}} of terrian. The landscape is monotonous, with grey hills and mixed forests covering the area. The region is poor in natural resources.
Central parts of the country are the most varying one in terms of landscape composition. The region is further divided into Proder valley, extending from the Drog's Bareer in the north to the river [[Ardena]] in the south. The valley features different {{wpl|karst}} formations, including caves, limestone walls and, most notably, hills that stretch around lake Proder and then into southwest. Trapan valley cover area around lake Trapan and rivers [[Risna]] and Kalava. Despite being hilly, it has low relative heights, reaching only about 70 - 80 metres. A complex river system creates unique natural elements, like even 10 km deep gorges or "hill islands" - peeks of hills isolated by the river flow.
Morvans westernmost parts are present in Cavunia, creating a natural border with [[Styria]] and [[Berry]]. Cavunian Morvans are divided into 12 other mountain ranges, varying in geomorphological history, structure, relative heights and placement. The highest parts, in Furan Mountains, reach over 3'000 metres - while Kačavskij Mountains are only 1'600 metres high average. In the easternmost parts of the region the {{wpl|snow border}} is surpassed and glaciers exists, while mountains closer to the center are naturally covered by snow only in winter and early spring. There are hundreds of U-shaped valleys and small, circular lakes.
Morvan Mountains are separated from Getterian Massif by Latapian Gate, which spans on over 100 kilometres. Getterian Massif is and old landmass, reaching around 2'200 metres in its highest parts. Duklja river has its springs there and floats south into Southern Lowlands. It's a large, wavy region, covered by grasslands, {{wpl|Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub|Mediterranean forests}} and valleys. Due to its specific location, it's the hottest and most humid region of the country.

Cavunia (Kunak: Kabunia), formally known as the Republic of Cavunia (Kunak: Respublïka'sı Kabunyý) is a sovereign state in the central Coius, bordering Zorasan to the west and north, Dezevau to the northeast and Yi to the south. With an area of 1,279,308 km², Cavunia is 20th - 25th biggest country in Kylaris. It's mostly a mountainous country, with over 80-90% of the area above 300 metres.

The present day Cavunia was first settled in around the 4th century by various tribes that would practice nomadic lifestyle. First permament settlement appeared in the 11th century, when the traders from Dezevau created a trade hub alogside some river. This in turn allowed some religions to spread into Cavunia. Up until the late 17th century, various tribes fought over the control of the region, warring and raiding each other and neighbouring states. In 1689, chief of the Kunak tribe, Gölay Gölay, conquered most of the modern Cavunian territory and proclaimed himself the only leader of the newly founded federation, abandoning semi-nomadic government. Later, in the 19th century, Cavunia became a tributary state of some empire and was under foreign governance up until the Great War, though, due to low population density and harsh climate, maintained a fair level of autonomy. After the Great War various clans desired to control the reborn Cavunian nation, resulting in a civili war that lasted until 1960, when the Unity Law was signed, proclaiming Cavunia as a unitary republic rather than a federation, with every ethnic group receiving equal rights.

Cavunia is a presidential republic, where the president wields the most power. Current leader, Ari Maltıqa is the head of the state since 2003. The country is divided into 11 banirai and 3 töq (cities). The nation possesses a minor role in the world's politics and it has mostly neutral stance towards international incidents and issues. It's a part of Community of Nations, International Trade Organisation and International Forum for Developing States. It's a rapidly growing economy with a major industries being natural gas extraction, mining (especially iron, copper and salt), metallurgy and agriculture.

With a population of 27,522,309, Cavunia is ranked 25th - 30th in Kylaris. It's one of the least dense country in the world, with most of the population inhabiting north eastern areas, spread along Eagle River. Nearly 4 million resides in the aglomeration of Aq'Hort. Dominant ethnic group is Kunak, with significant Balrik, Ibeki, Sogdhyn and Udde minorities as well. Though most people describe themselves as irreligious, Badi is a traditional religion that still prevailed throghout the country.

Etymology

The modern term Cavunia was first used by Dezevauani traders, referring loosely to people inhabiting the area. It originally meant "wanderers" (Kunak: kabunyý) and was most probably used to distinguish the nomadic tribes that lived south of the Lake Bakhtegan from settled traders. Later, under the conquest of Gölay Gölay, the name gained a broader use, as the chief called the newly founded confederation "Cavunian Republic", meaning literally republic of the wanderers. The choice was dictated by the unstable loyalty of non-Kunak tribes that supported Gölay Gölay as long as they were granted pirivilages. It also was meant to attract other still independent nomadic tribes to join the confederation.

During the 18th and 19th century the name Cavunia became a conventional name for the region itself, however, internally, a simple term "confederation" (Kunak: ıteqşem, literally together) was used more commonly. Following a foreign rule and the rise of nationalism within the country, several clans created the Great Circle and promoted the creation of independent nation known as Cavunia.

After the Great War rivalries between ethnic groups and the overtaking of power by Kunak people the term Cavunia became a call for equality and a symbol of unity. In 1960, when the Unity Law was signed, it was stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Cavunia that the republic of Cavunia has only one name and that name is to be used by every citizen, in every place and on every day in Cavunia. Internationally, the authorities have asked to alter any exisiting names of the country to Cavunia and to be it the only official name of the republic.
