Coarsia (Coarsian; Ykriat or Lykriat), or the Union of Coarsian States, is a nation in Boronoth. It is the largest nation in the world, with its territories measuring at an outstanding 4,244,001 square miles (10,991,910 km2). Coarsia extends through 4 different timezones. Despite it's massive size, however, Coarsia is a very tumultous state that is often plagued by infighting and horrendous civil wars that have lead to the nation never truly being able of excerting their outer power to the rest of the world. Despite its massive size, Coarsia is very sparsely populated due to the naturally occuring phenomenon known as "The Winterfell" that plagues most of northern Boronoth, with it's population being estimated in 21,287,793 by 1785.
Coarsia is coloquially known as "The Land of the Eternal Winter" due to it being perpetually on temperatures below 20° Celsius, Coarsia's population is mostly spread out through the much more temperate and easy to live in south, along the Gildenwelter Coast and the rivers Samu and Milok. Coarsians are known as rugged people, with the coarsian culture often favouring bravery, intelligence and cunning rather than other values such as compassion and kindness. Coarsians usually are characterized as very proud people with a strong sense of ambition, bravery and loyalty. Corsia is divided amongst seven major houses and an almost infinite range of minor houses, going from the smallest of barons to powerful dukes subject only to their King and the High King himself. Some of the most prominent ones would be the Barrister, ruling in the far north of the nation, the Mongraw, ruling in the southeast, the Waynepitt, ruling in the west, and the Plantagen, current holders of the High Kingship.
