The '''Catabole''', also referred to as the '''Catabolic event''' or the '''Great Impact''', was the {{wp|impact event|impact}} of a {{wp|superbolide}} in the [[X Sea]] in the early afternoon of 13 September 1348. The presumably 350–370 m (1,210 ft) diameter, 61 million tonnes heavy {{wp|near-Earth asteroid|near-Teleon}} {{wp|C-type asteroid}} with a {{wp|carbonaceous crondite}}-like composition, called the '''Catabolic impactor''', struck [[Teleon]] approximately 4.4 km (2.7 mi) off the shoreline of [[X]] in [[X]] at a shallow {{wp|atmospheric entry}} angle of 21.1 degrees and a speed relative to Teleon of 28.6 km per second (17.8 mi per second). The impact had profound effects on the course of world history.
'''Boricua and the Ardentines''', officially the '''Republic of Boricua and the Ardentines''' ({{wp|Norwegian language|Waldish}}: ''Republikken Borikua og Ardentinene''), is a country located on the southern coast of [[East Hylasia]], bordering X to the west, X to the north, [[Zhudan]] to the east, and the [[Bight of X]] and X to the south. The majority of its population lives on the southern coastline of the country and around the [[Eba river]] and its [[Eba delta|delta]]. The {{wp|capital city|political capital}} of Sugar Coast is [[Gobona]], while the country's largest city and economic capital is the port city of [[Ykora]] located further south. Sugar Coast accounts for an area of 48,283 square kilometres (18,642 sq mi) and its population in 2021 was estimated to be approximately 21.85 million.  


The object impacted the {{wp|sedimentary rock}} of the {{wp|sea floor}} with a {{wp|kinetic energy}} equivalent of about 1,150 {{wp|TNT equivalent|megatons of TNT}} and instantaneously formed an {{wp|impact crater}} 4.9 km (3.0 mi) wide and 850 m (2,789 ft) deep. The resulting shockwave, seismic activity, and expulsion of {{wp|megatsunami}}s over 80 m (262 ft) tall led to the widespread devastation of communities along the surrounding coasts of the X Sea and the broader [[X]], killing approximately 100,000–165,000 people in one of the [[List of Teleon natural disasters by death toll|deadliest single natural disasters in recorded history]]; numerous major cities such as X and X were entirely annihilated. It was the worst natural disaster in Calesian and Hylasian history, the worst natural disaster in a millenium, and the largest impact event ever witnessed by humankind.
First permanent states and chiefdoms in the territories of present-day Sugar Coast were founded as far back as the 10th century. A number of kingdoms emerged over the course of history, and more noticably {{wp|city state|city states}} later asserted much political and economic control. Interest in the region emerged at the begin of the 15th century, with numerous [[Calesia|Calesian]] powers contesting the area for trading rights and colonial possessions.


{{wp|Sulfur}}-rich {{wp|gypsum}} from the seabed was vaporized in large quantities and injected into the atmosphere as {{wp|aerosol}}s, triggering significant {{wp|climate change}} in an {{wp|impact winter}}. As a result, extreme weather and {{wp|harvest|harvest failures}} led to widespread {{wp|famine}}, economic distress, the outbreak of {{wp|epidemic disease}}s such as {{wp|cholera}}, and ultimately major religious, political, and social upheaval around the world. It is estimated that about 30% to 60% of Calesia's population, and about 35% of the entire world population, were wiped out during the 1348–1353 [[Catabolic Crisis]] in the aftermath.
The [[Waldrich|Waldish]] first settled a protectorate and ultimately established control of the coast by the late 1870s amid the [[Calesian scramble for Hylasia]]. Shortly after, the colony of [[Waldish Sukkerkysten]] was founded. Following a century of native resistance, Sugar Coast officials declared the country independent of [[Waldrich]] on 12 September 1965, sparking anarchy and social turmoil before being quelled by Waldish and [[United Congress (Teleon)|UC forces]] thereafter and establishing an [[United Congress (Teleon)|United Congress mandate]] mission in 1966. When Sugar Coast was released on 27 October 1969, the government sought to maintain unity within the country, but failed, resulting in a [[Sukkerian civil war|civil war]] ravaging throughout the 1970s. The {{wp|republic}} has had a tumultous history since then, having experienced a series of democratic governments, two {{wp|coup d'état|coup d'états}} in [[1974 Sukkerian coup d'état|1974]] and [[1985 Sukkerian coup d'état|1985]], and subsequent military governments.
 
Beginning in 1993, Sugar Coast introduced a stable and democratic system promulgated by [[Constitution of Sugar Coast|a new constitution]], paving the way for broader {{wp|diplomacy|international cooperation}} and emerging as a {{wp|regional power}} and economic powerhouse for East Hylasia. In 2015, {{wp|Fula people|Ewonba}} rebels incited [[Sukkerian War|an armed rebellion]] in northern Sugar Coast and proclaimed the {{wp|secession}} of [[Sangouro]]; the conflict escalated into an ongoing [[Sukkerian War|second civil war]] by 2017 and has led to a severe {{wp|humanitarian crisis}} in the country's far north.
 
Sugar Coast's population spans a great variety of ethnic groups, religions, languages, traditions, and cultures. Approximately X% of the country was X, X% was X, 3.4% was X, and another 6.1% practiced native and traditional faiths. Its diverse geography and ecology dominate the country, ranging from {{wp|rainforest|tropical rain forests}} to coastal savannas and other {{wp|wetland}}s and arid {{wp|desert}}s to the north. As a quasi-{{wp|tropics|tropical}} nation, it is therefore largely dependent on {{wp|agriculture}}, and is a major exporter of {{wp|cotton}}, {{wp|coffee}}, {{wp|cocoa}} and {{wp|palm oil}}. {{wp|Norwegian language|Waldish}} is the {{wp|official language}} and ''{{wp|lingua franca}}'' of Sugar Coast, though a large diaspora of indigenous languages is also present.
 
Sugar Coast is a {{wp|unitary state|unitary}} {{wp|republic|constitutional republic}}, led by a [[President of Sugar Coast|President]] as both {{wp|head of state}} and {{wp|head of government}} under a {{wp|multi-party system}}; the current system was defined in the {{wp|constitution}} lastly amended in 1999. The country's economic growth, prosperity, and democratic government have made it a sizable player in Hylasian politics and wields disproportionate power for its size and location, though ongoing instability and armed conflict has diminished that. Sugar Coast is a member state of the [[United Congress (Teleon)|United Congress]], the [[Community of West Hylasian States]], and the X.

Boricua and the Ardentines, officially the Republic of Boricua and the Ardentines (Waldish: Republikken Borikua og Ardentinene), is a country located on the southern coast of East Hylasia, bordering X to the west, X to the north, Zhudan to the east, and the Bight of X and X to the south. The majority of its population lives on the southern coastline of the country and around the Eba river and its delta. The political capital of Sugar Coast is Gobona, while the country's largest city and economic capital is the port city of Ykora located further south. Sugar Coast accounts for an area of 48,283 square kilometres (18,642 sq mi) and its population in 2021 was estimated to be approximately 21.85 million.

First permanent states and chiefdoms in the territories of present-day Sugar Coast were founded as far back as the 10th century. A number of kingdoms emerged over the course of history, and more noticably city states later asserted much political and economic control. Interest in the region emerged at the begin of the 15th century, with numerous Calesian powers contesting the area for trading rights and colonial possessions.

The Waldish first settled a protectorate and ultimately established control of the coast by the late 1870s amid the Calesian scramble for Hylasia. Shortly after, the colony of Waldish Sukkerkysten was founded. Following a century of native resistance, Sugar Coast officials declared the country independent of Waldrich on 12 September 1965, sparking anarchy and social turmoil before being quelled by Waldish and UC forces thereafter and establishing an United Congress mandate mission in 1966. When Sugar Coast was released on 27 October 1969, the government sought to maintain unity within the country, but failed, resulting in a civil war ravaging throughout the 1970s. The republic has had a tumultous history since then, having experienced a series of democratic governments, two coup d'états in 1974 and 1985, and subsequent military governments.

Beginning in 1993, Sugar Coast introduced a stable and democratic system promulgated by a new constitution, paving the way for broader international cooperation and emerging as a regional power and economic powerhouse for East Hylasia. In 2015, Ewonba rebels incited an armed rebellion in northern Sugar Coast and proclaimed the secession of Sangouro; the conflict escalated into an ongoing second civil war by 2017 and has led to a severe humanitarian crisis in the country's far north.

Sugar Coast's population spans a great variety of ethnic groups, religions, languages, traditions, and cultures. Approximately X% of the country was X, X% was X, 3.4% was X, and another 6.1% practiced native and traditional faiths. Its diverse geography and ecology dominate the country, ranging from tropical rain forests to coastal savannas and other wetlands and arid deserts to the north. As a quasi-tropical nation, it is therefore largely dependent on agriculture, and is a major exporter of cotton, coffee, cocoa and palm oil. Waldish is the official language and lingua franca of Sugar Coast, though a large diaspora of indigenous languages is also present.

Sugar Coast is a unitary constitutional republic, led by a President as both head of state and head of government under a multi-party system; the current system was defined in the constitution lastly amended in 1999. The country's economic growth, prosperity, and democratic government have made it a sizable player in Hylasian politics and wields disproportionate power for its size and location, though ongoing instability and armed conflict has diminished that. Sugar Coast is a member state of the United Congress, the Community of West Hylasian States, and the X.
