Kobolis, officially the Federation of Kobolis, is a developed country located in Western Astyria. It is composed of twelve states and one federal district, Olympea, which is also the nation's capital. The Federation is led by an elected President.

The Federation was established in the nineteenth century, in response to an invasion by Beriquois emperor Longin Bernadotte. The Articles of Unification, drafted and signed then, serve as the Federation's constitution.

Etymology

The Federation of Kobolis takes its name from the sub-continent of Kobolis, on which it is situated.
