Kiyortza, formally the United States of Kiyortza (Kiyortzani: Kiyortzani Linsori Vyarikin), is a nation comprised of 19 provinces and a capital district in Anteria, with a population of about 194 million. Kiyortza borders 5 nations, being Aleni to the northeast, Rvandonia and Vescarium to the east, Fichmanistan to the southeast, and the city of Valino to its south. The nation is located in northwestern Thuadia between the Variyor Mountains to its east and the Paisi Ocean to its west.
The name Kiyortza most likely came from Ikiy-vortis-za, which in Proto-Kiyortzani meant something along the lines of West-of-mountain-land. The name most likely originally referred to the region of Kivorsziya in what is currently south-central Kaprikosha/northern Tarisk-Virtakyo, before it widened to the general region west of the Variyor Mountain Range (Variyor meaning East Mountains) and later the entire nation upon its unification.
Kiyortzani citizens are taxed a relatively high amount, though in turn receive many social benefits and enjoy a high standard of living.
Language
The Kiyortzani language is quite unique, especially the use of its characters. It primarily uses 25 characters and 25 sounds, though they are actually not one-to-one as you would expect. Its characters were originally made to be written in one stroke, and pronunciation is straightforward with little irregularity. Sounds like /b/, /g/, /e/ and /eɪ/ were phased out of its close relative Riyaki and later Kiyortzani between the years 1400 and 1600. Due to globalization, use of said sounds are becoming more common, though officially they are not used in standard Kiyortzani
Kiyortzani Characters
Below is a chart of Kiyortzani characters currently used.
There are a few things to keep in mind with this chart, one being that some of these characters, namely /k/, /t/, /aɪ/, and /t͡s/, are often written in a different way, and the above version is to allow for better readability in print.
The second /i/ is used when an I trails another vowel, and/or starts a new syllable. Its romanization is 'i as to differentiate between the two.
The case with /t͡s/ is that the same character occasionally denotes the /θ/ sound, which happens if and only if an /ɹ/ follows it. It is only really used in northern Kiyortza in place names.
Romanization
Kiyortzani has a pretty straightfoward Romanization, using only 2 special characters, as below
| /a/ | /n/ | /m/ | /k/ | t | /aɪ/ | /ɹ/ | /l/ | /i/ | /f/ | /j/ | /p/ | /ə/ | /v/ | /ʒ/ | /s/ | /d/ | /θ/ | /t͡s/ | /o/ | /h/ | /z/ | /u/ | /t͡ʃ/ | /ʃ/ |

History
Kiyortza as a region is fairly diverse, and with it comes many conflicts. Despite the peace in current times, the region was quite turbulent in the past, and only with everyone coming to the table to talk did all the infighting end.

Geography
Kiyortza is located in the northwest corner of mainland Thuadia in the Western Hemisphere of Anteria. The nation as a whole is fairly hilly and mountainous, with hills and mountains lining many of the nation's borders and coasts, while he nation's primary mountain ranges are the Variyor Range to the east, the Astari Range on the southern coast of the Astari Sea, the Fukūlyi Range dividing the regions of Kanitzur and Riyashi, and Piskatri-Patiklyi Range in western and norther Kittauhriya, while the tallest peak, Sorzani Varȳ (5,827m), is located in the Variyor Range, on the Rvandonian border with the province of Ra'ikishna.
Climate
Kiyortza hosts a wide range of climates, from the frigid mountains of the Variyor Range to the dry brushlands of southeastern Tarisk-Virtakyo. Ample precipitation is recorded throughout most of the nation, with the main exception being the drier southeast, where the edge of the Vues Desert intercepts the nation. Three major rivers and many smaller rivers form the main arteries of trade and human activity around the nation, and the ample rainfall contributes greatly to the nation's agricultural industry.

Demographics
Ethnicity
Native Kiyortzani ethnicities are primarily divided between the northern Kiyashi and southern Riyaki, the former of which are usually further divided into Lorzik-Kittauhri, Itikov-Kanitzuri, and Pashink-Djinatri. WIP
Language
Most Kiyortzani speak Itikovi-Kiyortzani, more often referred as simply Kiyortzani, as their first language, while some, mostly in the southern Riyaki provinces, speak Riyaki-Kiyortzani, commonly referred to as Riyaki, as their first language. The two languages, while distinct from one another, are similar enough that most speakers of one can often deduce what a speaker of the other is saying, and some might even refer to the two as moreso dialects of Kiyortzani, though most speakers of either would beg to differ.
In the past, there were at least 5 other now extinct branches/dialects of Kiyortzani, that being:
- Lorziki - Mixed and homogenized with Itikovi in the Kittauhri Republic.
- Piskatri - Similar to Lorziki, but after the annexation of Kirȳi and Sivordjika. Remains as an accent in many parts of Kittauhriya and Djinat.
- Zifrosi - Overtook by Itikovi. Remains an accent in and around Zifrosi.
- Fukūlyi - Replaced by Itikovi in Fukūlyi and Alfahriya and Riyaki in Skyorpȳ'i. Remains as an accent in and around the said provinces.
- Rȳkirsi - Homogenized with Riyaki.
Religion
The Kiyortzani populous is primarily atheistic/agnostic, and while religious freedom is a basic right, uncalled for proselytizing is generally looked down upon in society. Rationalist religions such as Solarism are generally encouraged over other religions, while Samiism and [Riyaki Folk Religion] are the most common religions. WIP

Production Industry
Mining
The nation has two main ore-abundant regions, that being the Piskatri Mountains and the Eastern Fukūlya Mountains near Skyorpavi. Various smaller deposits are scattered around the north of Kittauhriya and along a good part of the East Kiyortza Mountains.
Piskatri Mountain Deposit
The Piskatri Mountains on the west coast of Kittauhriya holds plenty of monazite, zircon, quartz, and various iron ores, the most exploited sites being near Malkir, Niklaryi, and Pashkya.

Amitȳtza Deposit
The area around Amitȳtza, Ra'ikishna primarily holds copper and silver ores, along with small amounts of pitchblende and bauxite.

Roadways
The road system in Kiyortza is primarily divided into 3 categories: National Highways, Provincial Highways, and Local Roadways.
National Highways
National Highways uphold a national standard in road quality, generally 4-lane highways or wider, and spans the country, acting as Kiyortza's main arteries for long-distance road travel. They are numbered 1 through 14, generally with the north-south spanning highways being odd numbered and vice versa, with two short extensions off of highways 3 and 7, labeled 3A and 7A; highways 2 and 13 also happen to overlap with highways 1 and 7 respectively for significant parts of its length, while for signage the mileage of the longer highway overall takes precedent. They are usually referred to as "KN-[number]", KN standing for Kiyortza Nashakir, meaning "Kiyortza Highway".
Provincial Highways
Provincial Highways don't uphold any specific standards, being maintained by their respective province, though they are usually always the most important roads in a province, and can be anything from a two-lane road up to an arterial highway. Their numbering and signage is dependent on their respective province, and is usually referred to by their province's two-letter code and its number. (For example, Kittauhri Highway 56 is usually referred to as KT-56)
Local Roads
Local roads are ones not under any of the two previous distinctions. Depending on region there may or may not also be county roads upkept by their respective county with their own signage.
Railways
Kiyortza has a relatively well-developed modern rail system, with an extensive rail system across the nation. In the less densely populated regions of the nation, both freight and passenger trains often run on the same tracks, while in the more densely populated regions there are often separate high-speed rails with separated freight lines and stations.
Energy
A substantial portion of the power output in Kiyortza are delivered by the many thorium reactors about, with the most of the rest delivered by various renewable energy sources and uranium reactors, with only a small portion of energy generated from burning fossil fuels. The reason for this is mainly due to the fact that despite Kiyortza's abundance of many natural resources, there are fossil fuel deposits present in the general area, making finding alternatives much more lucrative. There is ongoing research and development on fusion energy as a future alternative from nuclear fission, which tends to produce highly radioactive nuclear waste.
