Mathral, or the Federal Republic of Mathral, is a small, isolated republic on the southern continent of Kaniq in Telrova. With its cold climate, rolling steppes and snowcapped mountains, the sparse population, centered primarily around a few coastal cities and islands, is made up primarily of indigenous Mathrali citizens, along with a mixture of neighboring and colonizing ethnic groups. It is notable for being one of a few countries in Telrova to have a tricameral system of governance as well.

The nation is bordered to the west by the Kingdom of Bathelonat and is bordered at sea by an island belonging to Socialist Platypus. The country is well-renowned for its landscapes and multicultural society. It is also one of the most sparsely populated countries on all of Telrova, with only 11.5 people per square kilometer (29.8 per sqmi).

The nation also enjoys relative stability, having an unbroken chain of democracy since it was freed from colonial rule in 19XX, and having few regional rivalries, with the exception of a dispute of the Tachinya Island with neighboring Bathelonat. It is defended by the Mathrali Defense Forces and has neutrality enshrined into its constitution.

Geography & Climate

Climate

Most of Mathral is home to a rather cold climate, with some coastal areas and the Bohwa Islands being slightly more temperate, often being of Cfc and Csc classifications. Meanwhile much of the non-coastal mainland is home to a vast semi-arid to arid steppe environments (BSk & BWk), home to a great many historically nomadic groups. Then through the heartlands and much of the East, there is a Dfb to Dfc climate, where it is rather humid and coniferous, but also quite cold.

Many large mountain ranges also line the eastern coast and areas surrounding the Lake Mvānye, as well as the southern reaches of the border, much of it being classified as sparsely inhabited tundra (ET). Because of this, much of the population is centered around coastal regions, or the Csc areas, where summers tend to be dry and cold, with summertime temperatures rarely exceeding 15 Celsius and winter temperatures rarely dipping below 0 Celsius, giving a good stability to the weather of those regions.
