Kwalawi is a sovereign state in eastern Hesperidesia, in Astyria.

Kwalawi's capital is Dombrusi. Its largest city is Tsambawa. It borders Bungussi to the north, Jafala to the east and south, Red River Free State to the south and east and the Blackhelm Confederacy to the west. Kwalawi's southern border with Jafala is defined by the Red River. Covering approximately 530,400 square kilometres (204,800 sq mi), it is the third smallest state in Hesperidesia.

Native Kwalawan culture suffered for a long period under the Empire of Exponent. Since independence, expressions of native culture have undergone a resurgence, as in the other countries of eastern Hesperidesia.

Etymology

Kwalawi takes its name from the Kwala language, spoken by the Kwala people, and means "Land of the Kwala." The Kwala have tradiitonally grazed animals in large portions of the area that comprises modern day Kwalawi for centuries.

Geography

History

Politics

Kwalawi is a unitary presidential republic headed by a President. The branches of govenrment include an executive, legislative, and judicial branch.

Society

Kwalawi is one of the least developed countries in Astyria, with an economy based heavily on agriculture and a traditional, pastoral way of life. The country is also home to dozens of different ethnic groups, however the Kwala form the majority population and occupy nearly all positions of the Kwalawan government.

Religion

Kwalawi is a majority Christian country, with a significant animist minority amongst the people of the countryside. Since independence, traditional animist beliefs have steadily begun to gain traction in urban areas as well, but the Catholic position is still well entrenched within most parts of the nation.
