The Confederacy of Distan or colloquially Distan is a large sovereign state which prides itself in both its industrial might and technological prowess, especially in the fields of engineering and robotics. An immense quantity of its culture and economy is based on efficiency and maximising prosperity for both the state and the people in it which influences both its policies internally but also its policies externally which governs its efforts to modernise and industrialise its allies and neighbours. Despite its preference for stability it has a strong nationalistic culture with almost every citizen performing some form of national service ranging from enlisting in the reserves to working in a public service.
In its early history it was a trio of separate states that under the banner of the largest, Diastin united to form one larger state, Distan and since this unification the nation has reserved a strong since of unity and constantly strives to repeat the golden age that followed that unification.
Etymology
The name Distan is a changing of the name the largest of the 3 original kingdoms had pre unifications, Diastin. Where this name originated from is unknown as there are no artefacts or writings that can be dated when the kingdoms were formed, however some theorists suggest that they may have been named after objects of significance or they were translated names from an even older name.

Geography
Geography
Being one of the larger nations in Kalrania, Distan contains an abnormally low diversity of biomes. The overall climate of the Confederacy is cold and alpine with many mountains, alpine and sub alpine forests covering the large nation with the northern and eastern regions being the coldest with many mountains and the majority of the alpine forests. The south-western regions however are warmer with some of the few temperate regions and fens within the nation. Overall almost all of Distan is at least 100m above sea level with much of the northern and eastern regions being even higher containing the Kzordan Mountain Range and near to the center of the nation lies the central ranges and the tallest mountain in the area, Grimazund Peak.

Foreign relations
Up until recently, the Distanic Confederacy has been a fairly isolationist state with many forts along its large boarders and little interest in the outside world, That was changed during the leadership of Prime Director Victor Statnik where the nation opened its gates and expanded its view of the open world.
Now the Confederacy enjoys many diplomatic relations with nations both near and far, the most fruitful being its relations with Dzeia
Military
The Distanic Armed Korps consist of five primary branches: The GroundKorps, The NavalKorps, The AeroKorps, The GuardKorps and the UkrotynKorps. The GroundKorps are the ground based branch of the military covering all ground based operations
The current average spending of the GroundKorps rests at 300B which covers all the maintenance and expenditure of the nation during times of peace or small scale operations however during times of mobilisation the budget allocated to the GroundKorps is increased to 600B which has only been done once During the war against Cipher.

Thanks to the early isolationist policies of its early years and the single species infrastructure, tourism has never been been able to take off in Distan. This has changed in recent years with the opening of boarders to

Demographics
Historically, Distan has had only a single species within its boarders much unlike its northern neighbours and remains to be a very mono species nation even to this day with the only way currently for foreigners to enter the nation is either under a foreign student registration or a work registration. One unfortunate side effect of having such a deep rooted history of having a single species is that all of its agriculture, amenities and architecture proves to be near uninhabitable for most outsiders who don't possess a similar biology to the native Khazdiat
Species
The Khazdiat Making up the entirety of the permanent residents of Distan, The Average Khazdiat stands at an impressive average of 2.2 to 2.8 m tall with hardened plates on their shoulders, forearms, thighs and back with eye colours that range from deep blue to grey and hair that range from black to brown. Their bodies have evolved to be highly robust with highly resilient bodies and immune systems which could be explained by their harsh native land. As a consequence to their large and resilient frame they have a sizable metabolism in order to fuel their bodies and to counteract the freezing cold of their homeland. Their biological resilience has the direct effect of making them a very long lived species commonly living up to 250 years and even longer with the intervention of modern medicine.
Languages

Religion
The people of Distan since recorded history have remained a highly secular society with no recorded instances of a formal religion within its boarders. Almost all Khazdiat instead believe in a form of atheism, believing that there is no such thing as the divine, nor the supernatural, nor anything that cannot be explained with logic and that all things in existence are able to be explained with science and reason.
Culture and society
The North/south cultural divide
WIP
Dress
Thanks to the cold climate in Distan and the lack of diversity in species, the dress of the average Khazdiat is very universal with little to no difference in the attire for men or women with the exception of the north/south cultural divide. For both genders the average northerner wears a large overcoat commonly of dark colours with blues and greens being of good taste, Thick trousers and boots in addition. In the south its slightly warmer with a more temperate climate and there, a mid length tunic are far more common with an overcoat ontop of similar colouration to their northern kin.
Those in a position of authority such as government officials commonly also wear pauldrons to signify their position as a government official commonly made of silvered steel and mounted ontop of their clothing with leather straps..
Architecture
Due to the cold climate that is common throughout the nation, the confederacy is generally an urban nation with an architectural style that is influenced by the pragmatic and functional people that inhabit their cities.
The general shape that buildings take are geometric in design, with clearly defined walls either being boxy and angular or round and spherical, depending on the building. Many of these buildings are made of a grey stone brick locally known as Ashstone while the larger buildings are made from steel. One uniform feature of all buildings from small suburban houses to towering spires are their strong insulation against the cold which is a necessity due to the local climate.
