Carolina, officially the Dominion of Carolina, is a soveriegn state in southeast Nymera in the world of Verthandi. Carolina, is a sovereign nation located in southeastern Nymera. Carolina is bordered by the Yeye Kingdom to her east, Kasunguland to her north, the Xanan Confederacy and Freijan Nymera to her west and Auberian Nymera to her south.

The population of the country is distributed throughout its main coastal cities and vast rural regions. The most populous cities are Montgomery followed by Providence and the inland city of Salisbury. The Carolinan countryside is scattered with small farming settlements, designated safari lands and Mbelestan reservations set aside for the native tribes. In terms of total land area, Carolina is very rural with vast economic zones dedicated to logging, mining, farming and large resource exploration projects.

Carolina is a constitutional monarchy and a Dominion within the Reynish Empire with its capital located in Montgomery. Montgomery is also the largest city in the country and serves as its cultural and commercial center with a sprawling seaport and heavy development due to significant investments by the Kingdom of Reyneland. The second largest city in Carolina is the inland city of Salisbury which acts as a transportation hub for resources extracted from more rural inland areas and the center of Carolina's inland transportation network. Carolina has a separation of powers between its Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches and is currently hosting the Reynish monarchy which is in exile due to the Altische occupation of Reynland.
