Nova Koravia (/tɜrnɪkɑː/; Tyrnican: Niuwekovår), officially the Republic of Nova Kovaria (Tyrnican: Republik Niuwekovår) is an island country located in the Rum Gulf. Its closest neighbor is Saint-Baptiste, whom is shares its archipelago with. It has a population of 6,756,433 people spread across 3 major and numerous minor islands. Its capital and largest city is Augusta on Aspire Island.
Home to native peoples since at least the 1st century, Tyrnican and Rythenean settlers arrived in the early-mid 17th century, haphazardly establishing settlements on the archipelago. Slavery in the form of chattel slaves (from Idica) and indentured servants (from Auressia and, to a lesser extent, Surucia) arrived soon after. These institutions would result in a boom of cash crop and monocultural plantation farming, including sugar, coffee, and fruits. Cooperation emerged between the Tyrnican and Rythene populations, forming a distinct Nova Koravian identity. During the Tyrno-Rythenean Wars, the Rythenean controlled islands were taken and the archipelago was reorganized under the single Governor of Nova Kovaria. Tyrnican rule would last until 1854 when the islands were traded to Audonia for a long-term partnership. Turmoil in Aurdonia and unrest in the islands, however, would lead to independence in 1868 as the First Republic of Nova Kovaria. This republic would eventually fall to a coup in the late 1880’s before being restored during the August Revolution in 1922.
