Kalea, officially known as the Kalea Confederation, is a sovereign nation comprised of the Kalean island chain in the geographic region West of the continent of Ausiana. It is situated in the eastern portion of the Toyana Ocean, just south of the Alutia Sea and just west of the Sancheon Gulf. The climate consists of mostly subtropical forests. Its government functions as a libertarian socialist federated semi-direct democracy currently administered by a coalition of leftist parties. It consists of self-governing sub-regions in the provinces of Ho'olua, 'Akau and Hema. It has a population of 7.46 million inhabitants. It has a total area of 282,383 sq. km (109,029 sq. mi) (282,383 sq. km). Its capital and largest city is Heiau, located on the largest and northernmost island of the southern province of Hema.

Etymology

The word "Kalea" means “happiness” and “joy” in Kalean. The Confederation was named after the man most Kaleans consider as the "Father of the Confederation" and the "First Haoa," Kalea Apekalmoa. As well as naming Kalea after him, the most commonly spoken language at the time, the language now known as Kalean today, and the demonym of the people of Kalea, were also named in honor of him.

History

Not much is known of the origin of Kalea's people, which is odd considering its neighbors are very much different from them. The founder of the Confederation, Kalea Apekalmoa, had a dream of unifying the three major tribes of the islands to bring their common culture together and to thwart possible aspirations of foreign powers subjugating the Kalean people. Each tribe was given sovereignty over their own people and lands, and subsequently all minor tribes within these lands, establishing what are now the Three Provinces of the Confederation: Ho'olua, 'Akau and Hema.
