Lorcania (Ghaillish: Lorcáinann), officially the Union of Lorcania (Ghaillish: Aontas na Lorcáinann), is a federation of twelve commonwealths in northwestern Asteria Superior, centred in the federal capital of Calderdon. The union is home to 46.5 million people, and Lorcania is considered a regional power on the continent. Na Naoimh is the largest city in the country.
