Kentalis has been a Parliamentary Representative Republic with a unitary structure since 1705. The country has a tradition of pillarisation and a long record of social tolerance, having legalised abortion and human euthanasia along with maintaining a liberal drug policy. Kentalis abolished the death penalty in Civil Law in 1770, though it was not completely removed until a new civil-rights chapter in the constitution was approved in 1783. Kentalis allowed women's suffrage in 1819, before becoming one of Anteria's first country to legalise same-sex marriage. Its mixed-market advanced economy had the twelfth-highest per capita income globally.

Etymology

The name Kentalis comes from the Kental words for land, Kopno and Chronicle, Anali. Kentalis can be translated as "The Land of Chronicles".

Kentalis has a standard naming convention, with most other languages having a fairly standardised variation of the name. In the Standard tongue, Kentalis is also called Protisia (altho this is only the peninsula Kentalis is situated on), whereas the term "Kentalian" is used as the demonym and adjectival form.

In Kental

In Kental, the official names for Kentalis, the Kental language and a Kentalian citizen are Кенталис, Кентал, Кенталин (Kentalis, Kental, Kentalin in latinised form). However, colloquially the country is even by the Kentalians often referred to as Protisia, although rarely outside the Protea Province, where it may even be used as a pejorative term.

The plural Kentalises (Кенталисес) was used in many different connotations in the past due to the Republic of the two Kentalises, but since 1703 it has been rarely used.

History

(WIP)

Pre-Protises

The oldest human (Neanderthal) traces which were found on the Protises peninsula were found next to Živislavgrad, from what is believed to be about 200,000 years ago. However, the oldest confirmed traces of human activity are found in the North-eastern parts of Kentalis, which traces back to 15,000 years. These settlers were part of the now extinct Botenik Hunter-Gatherer culture, which has no ressembly to any modern culture. Only in 1500 BC, the first farmers arrived. (WIP)
