Krada is the largest city of the Miersan Federation, situated in the Święciżar voivodeship. As of the 2017 census, the urban area of Krada has a population of 891,411 people, making it the largest city fully under the control of West Miersa.

First founded around the twelfth century as a fort to deter bandits on one of the major trade routes, Krada was a minor settlement. (TBC)

Etymology

The name Krada is believed to derive from the masculine singular present transgressive form of the Proto-Marolevic word *kràsti, or "to steal," suggesting that the area around Krada was historically a hotspot for banditry, with bandits based in present-day Krada often preying on the trade routes going over the Środek connecting opposite regions of Euclea with one another.

Culture

As the largest city under West Miersan control, Krada has become a major cultural centre, particularly given most of its residents have origins across all of Miersa.
