Kroraine, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Kroraine (Kroraini: Krorainentse Śamnäṣṣuva Miṃcuteya Cantre, pronounced [kroˈrəɪ̯nent͡se ɕəmˈnɨʃuʋə minˈt͡ɕutejə ˈt͡ɕəntre]), is a sovereign state in central Coius. Kroraine is a landlocked country, dominated by the Tarya river valley which runs from north to south throughout the length of the country. It is bordered by Yi to the south, Xiaodong to the west, Zorasan to the north, and ??? to the east. The capital and most populous city is Korla, which lies in the northern half of the country.

The earliest known inhabitants of the area of modern Kroraine were a caucasoid people, often with red or blonde hair, dating to at least the 2nd millennium BCE. Various nomadic peoples, such as the Yuezhi and Wusun of Xiaodongese sources, were part of the migration of Hyndo-Euclean speakers who settled in Central Coius during that period. Although geographically isolated by its mountainous boundaries and highly variegated and often inhospitable terrain, which has helped to preserve its unique culture, Kroraine has been at the crossroads of several great civilisations as part of the Silk Road and other commercial and cultural routes. It has long been dominated by foreign powers, in particular the Xiaodongese, and attained sovereignty as a nation state only after securing its independence from the Auspicious Republic in 1954.

Since independence, Kroraine has officially been a federal parliamentary republic, although it has endured some internal conflicts and political strife.

Ethnic Krorainis make up a majority of the country's nearly 19 million people, followed by notable minorities of Yi, Gojalis and Xiaodongese. The Kroraini language, also known as Shanshanese, is the primary official language of Kroraine, although Xiaodongese remains widely spoken as an inter-ethnic language — a legacy of centuries of Xiaodongese rule over Kroraine. The majority of the population practice a local syncretic form of Satyism, although there are significant numbers of pagans and irreligious people. The culture of Kroraine bears similarity to those of its neighbouring nations, in addition to its autochthonic heritage.
