The nation is very small at only 725 square kilometres but is home to 7.1 million people. This is due to the city of Weraya which takes up 75% of the entire nations area. Some of the outer islands that are under Werayan rule are disputed among several nations. It shares maritime borders with Kankiesi-Tos Dual Republic to the north, Coolandia to the south and Nooth-Kemmor to the east.
Etymology
The name "Weraya" can be traced back thousands of year. It is beleived to mean "place of rest" or "place of sanctuary". The great in Great Weraya comes from the fact that Weraya is no longer one islsnd but a group of islands.
History
Pre and post unification
Weraya was made up of hundreds of small nations which were at constant war with each other. In 1012 AD the city of Weraya was founded in the north of the island of Weraya. It was originally made up of a small castle and a few settlements. In 1056 the nation was united in the city when the leaders of the eight largest nations came together to form the nation of Weraya. This Werayan state was headed by each of the eight leaders of the Werayan nations. In 1077 a ninth nation was added with the conquest of Oldugg.
Colonisation
In the 1600's the city of Weraya saw a huge boom as many moved to the nation which by now had become a large centre of commerce. Nations like the 2nd Kanskiesi Empire began to trade more and take a greater interest in Weraya. Seventy years later in 1670 the Kankiesi Empire sent a force to take control of thd islands, resistance to their military was futile and the islands became a dominion of The Kanskiesi Empire in late 1670. Originally there was much discontempt towards their rule but this wained as The Dual Republic did not opress the people of Weraya or their traditions in any way.
In 1723 The Kankiesi Empire invaded and took control of seven other islands in the (Insert mame of Straight) and awarded them to the domnion of Weraya. This is when Weraya came to be known as Greater or Great Weraya.
While a dominion of The Kankiesian Empire Great Weraya's economy grew rapidly with new industry such as steel and ironworks taking hold as well as the banking sector becoming one of the best in the world. Many Werayans were hsppy under the dual Republic. Some however wanted a new self governing Weraya.
