Zozava is the capital and the largest city of the Country is Kozen.

The majority of the Duchy's population are ethnic Krenya, with minority populations of Tiskaiyans, Kankadians, Ereskans and bisenvis and some other ethinic minorities. The official languages of Krenya is Krenyan.

Krenya is bordered by Shaunteville to the west, Tiskaiya to the north, Qazhshava to the east , Bretislavia to the North west and has two island groups, namely Selenzia and Horavia.

History

Prehistoric Krenya

Modern day Kreniyars arrived in the area of northern thuadia in the 6,000-4,000 BCE period, while this is not clear how they survived in such an environmemt, some documents and remains show that the Early Kreniyaris were mostly hunter gatherers and gathered fruits, nuts and berries from the trees and bushes that they found around them, and hunted small herbivores by using stone tools and bone blades, the later being a speciality of the Kreniyaris.

Hunters and gatherers

As time moved on the Kreniyaris started to settle down into small communities based inside caves or in the hollow trunks of huge trees, with an average community comprising of about 7-14 members, some communities even united to form larger communities which went as far to comprise of about an estimated one hundred people.

The Kreniyaris remained mostly as hunter gatherers from the early 6,000 BCE to about 4,000 BCE, after which they slowly started to advance towards the Age of farming and domestification.

Prehistoric people

As time advanced the kreniyaris slowly began to develop their own set of small farms where they started to farm their first set of vegetables which typically included wheat grains, wild potatoes, etc, in the north thuadian regions, though due to the highly desertificated structure of that area the kreniyari's couldnt modernize their farming tactics, though they did manage to domesticate their first range of animal life in the early 2000's-1500 BCE,

The animals generally included cattles for example, the thaudian bison and the krenyan red cow,

The Animals were used for mainly plowing and scathing the fields of the kreniyarian Tribal land holdings, as well as to develop more advanced methods of seperating the waste products of the wheat from the actual crops.

Farming in the prehistoric era

The farming tactics of prehistoric kreniyari's generally included usage of less water consuming seeds of mostly wheats and wild potatoes, and to use a fairly irrigated field for their cultivation (for example the current lake between krenya and tiskaiya in the 1000- 600BCE ).

Stone tools

The kreniyari's used mostly stone -tools like stone hoe and stone scathe's for sowing and harvesting the crops, after their maturation period. Though the harvests were usually low, the kreniyari's managed to supplement them with the livestocks they had, for example they used the "beef and milk" harvested and collected from the individual cows, as their main secondary food source during the pre historic times.

Iron and Bronze age

Wooden cart, a basic mode of goods transportation during the early ages

As the 3rd and 2nd BCE came the krenyans started using carts and bullock driven tongas as their primary means to transport necessary goods and materials, for example stone tools, bricks, hay stacks, etc. While also building temporary shacks for their survival

The real changes in the Kreniyari livestyles came during the great architectural achievements in the 1st century BCE, which changed the lives of the kreniyari's forever when, they created their first city in the northern parts of modern day krenya, named Streörsburg, which could be said was the first modern city inside of krenya,

The City was finely surveyed and it was found out that the city consisted of well constructed drainage systems and pre-planned housing which was in the 1st century BCE a marvel, for the krenyans, the city also reportedly had some large granaries which were used to stock food materials and harvested crops.and had huge areas for cultivating crops such as wheat and barley in surplus amounts, which led to the further economic growth of Streörsburg, and later its development as the first trade city of Krenya.

The City state of Streórsburg.

Streörsburg, produced a surplus of agricultural materials which it exported to other kingdoms and tribal associations for imports of bronze ore, the smelted bronze helped the city's residents create several ornaments and daily commoditites and utensils made out of bronze

Bronze Artifacts of Streorsburg

These bronze artifacts would then be exported to neighbouring tribes for high prices which eventually made the city states extremely rich and powerful in determining the trade routes of coastal Krenya

More city states too came into existence as time went by, by the 2nd century bce there were about thirteen city states all across the areas covering today's krenya, among which great amounts of trade took place, the states had their own national cultures and traditions, they also had their own forms of government and ruling styles. While City states such as streörsburg and zözava were direct democracies with their first forms of ballot being held in their capital for every major decision and every men and women had their own speech in there, others like mulsburg and Krysanthia were absolute monarchies where the leaders made all choices and desicions.

The city states advanced rapidly in terms of monetary wealth and infrastructural capabilities, most of the cities had proper sanitary measures and huge drainage ducts installed in their city maps, the cities had planned housing and efficient use of food and water was taught to most of the citizens present there, the total population of all these city states by the end of the 1st century bce is estimated to be around 400,000- 650,000 people.

Early Ages

While in the northern and eastern parts of the region, various duchies took place, as a result of the migration that took place in the 2nd and 1st century BCE, to settle the northern areas of the krenyan region, and take the vital resources that the northern forests held under their own control, this resulted in some forming their own duchies with some of the prominent ones being the the Duchy of Kruson, Brignacht, etc.

These duchies were usually ruled by a duke whose title was hereditarily passed on from generation to generation. As time advanced some duchies became more powerful than others, with the duchy of Kruson being the most powerful of them all.

Founded in the 7th century AD, by the Emmigrants from Mulsburg, the Duchy of Bersia was ruled by the House of Kren, who served as landlords for the monarchs of Mulsburg, and had grown out to be one of the most important trading partners for the city states in that region, as it held strategic resources such as wood, timber and iron reserves as well as bulls and sheeps that roamed across the entire duchy.

Geography

The Climate of Krenya

Due to differences in latitude and the marked variety in  topographical relief, Krenya's climate tends to vary considerably for each region. During the winter or dry season, extending roughly from November to April, the monsoon  winds usually blow from the northeast along the shauntevile coast and across the Laventine Gulf, picking up considerable moisture. The average annual temperature is generally lower in the plains than in the hills, especially in Northern Krenya compared to the south. Temperatures vary less in the southern plains around Yeltar Delta, ranging from between 21 and 35 °C (69.8 and 95.0 °F) over the year. In Zozava and the surrounding areas of the Koverlin Delta, the temperatures are much lower between 15 and 33 °C (59.0 and 91.4 °F). Seasonal variations in the mountains, plateaus, and the northernmost areas are much more dramatic, with temperatures varying from 3 °C (37.4 °F) in December and January to 37 °C (98.6 °F) in July and August. Krenya receives high rates of precipitation in the form of rainfall with an average amount from 1,500 mm (59 in) to 2,000 mm (79 in) during the monsoon seasons; this doesnt often causes flooding, Due to the advanced drainage systems. The country is affected by tropical depressions, tropical storms and typhoons from the Southern seas.

Geography of Krenya

Krenya is divided into coastal lowlands, the Hills of the  Brandes Range, and extensive forests. Comprising five relatively flat plateaus of  basalt soil, the highlands account for 16% of the country's arable land and 22% of its total forested land. The soil in much of the southern part of Krenya is relatively low in nutrients as a result of high cultivation. Few minor earthquakes  have been recorded in the past. Most have occurred near the Eastern Krenyan border in the Fiefdoms of Mulsburg, Nenaheim and  Zozavan Royal administrative region, while some have been recorded offshore of the central part of the country. The northern part of the country consists mostly of highlands and the Cresin Delta which is located in the Fiefdom of Helensburg, is the highest mountain in Krenya, standing 3,143 m (10,312 ft) high. From north to south Krenya, the country also has  two islands. Selenzia is the larger one. The Helenin Cave is considered the largest known cave passage in the world since its discovery in 2012. The Reverin Lake and Salrin River are the largest lake and longest river in the country.

Culture of Krenya

Architecture and arts

The Architecture of krenya, has developed, over several centuries of both foreign and domestic rule, which make the current krenyan buildings look like the way they look, And the renowned stone and brick buildings, that adorn the cities of gorainz and zozava, are also the result of this.

The first glimpses of modern Krenyan architecture began in the early 2nd century BCE, when the tribal groups started building the first major cities across mainland krenya, the first major buildings were mostly doubled storyied mud and brick layered houses which had a system of easier ventilation and drainage system, and made the krenyans able to advance further than most of the other contemporary kingdoms and duchies surrounding them.

The tribes eventually due to bronze and iron trades developed into city states and builted their own castles and cities, which were protected by 2-3 layered stone walls, these often proved useful against the other barbarian tribes and other technologically inferior city states which invaded the cities. Though these cities were built in early ages, the designs of the cities were one of the first ones to have proper drainage and design managements,

Later on, the city states either conquered one another or unified by intermarrying and extending bloodlines into forming fiefdoms, which covered vast land areas, most of them were located in the western areas of modern day krenya, besides shaunteville, however in the east the house of kren, conquered huge swaths of land, and ruled over most of it until the early 600's, the architectural designs during this period saw increasing number of statues and symbols being engraved into religious buildings and places as a way of symbolizing the alligience of the specific fiefdoms and houses to god.

The next advancement at the krenyan architectural style came at the time of the qazhshavan invasion of krenya in the 600's and the 700's when krenya was plundered and was occupied mostly by the various qazhshavan kingdoms, and the following seven centuries long qazhlaw upon krenya.The next advancement at the krenyan architectural style came at the time of the qazhshavan invasion of krenya in the 600's and the 700's when krenya was plundered and was occupied mostly by the various qazhshavan kingdoms, and the following seven centuries long qazhlaw upon krenya, during this period, krenya saw a rapid influx of kankadian people into krenyan territory as a way to settle into their newly conquered land, this also meant that they built several mokhavic versioned palaces, government buildings and villages across the conquered territories.

The main buildings were mainly religious ones, which were of their traditional beliefs, and also cultural symbols which are still maintained to this day, the qazhshavan rule over krenya or as its known by the locals, the qazhlaw, helped to develop mokhavic culturism over krenya and its population in the coming years.

In the southern portions where, the protesians or in kental, the povanonic people were settled for several years, also had some varying levels of architectural designs which helped to shape the modern day cultural symbolism of krenya, the protesians mainly had huge cathedrals built over certain villages, with varying levels of dome shaped government and royal buildings, the regular buildings also followed the dome pattern somewhat, which made them somewhat echoable when visited and created noise from the inside, these areas remained under protesian control until the late 1530's when the last protesian forces were scathed off from krenya and the city of "Zozava" was conquered after a brutal 250 day long seige of the city perimeters.

After the conquests, A series of assimilation of the Kental i.e Pozavonnac architecture was started, when the Krenyans mixed their style of buildings i.e pillar styed architecture with that of the more dome styled architecture of the pozanovac's.

Though it was initally successful, it went down as time moved on, several people regarded themselves to be more pozanovac and Kentalian than krenyan, and by the 1600's, the policy of assimilating pozanovacs into the Krenyan culture was nearly abandoned, with very mixed series of both successes and failures achieved,

By the early 18th century, krenya also started to expand its style of architecture into the other parts of Anteria, most notably into, its former colonies, though these styles of architecture also had a touch of their own native designs, such as the joint pillar-minaret styled designs of Abjekistan, or the triangle shaped roof- designs that were added to the gothic styled architecture of Blechingia. These also added a sense of assimilation of its colonial subjects into Krenya,

Significant progresses in architectural designs were made in mainland krenya too, in the early 17th to early 19th century when, the castles were being modified to be more like modern day bungalows with sloped roofs and a basic three storyed design thats followed in the western and northern parts of the nation till to this date.

In the South a more, Pozanovac styled architectural style is followed with the Royal parliament being an example of that, The use of the dome shaped roofs is seen in the official buildings, in the cities of Zozava and Duren, which were deeply influenced by the kentalians in the 12th-16th centuries, with there being museums in zozava that generally record the styles of architecture that existed in the pre-unification period.

After the 19th Century, no more major changes took place in the architectural history of Krenya, with the basic pillar and dome styled buildings being common in the southern parts of the nation, while the north and western parts of the nation have an expanse of bunglow styled designs due to the comparetively colder climates there.

Education in Krenya

Education in the Duchy of Krenya is seperated and individually persuded by both the baronies and the central governnent, with the baronies having their own (Rësgrade board) for overseeing the education of the children studying in those boards, As per the Central Government is concerned, The Education-related issues are handled by the (Gŕensde Board) which overseas education policies and activities for the students and the teaching authorities of the particular board.

The krenyan government spends around 3.4% of its GDP on all levels of education, 48.1 percent of Krenyans aged 25 to 60 attained some form of post-secondary education. 20.6% of Krenyan people aged 25 to 60 attained a bachelor's degree or higher. 53% of Krenyan people aged 25 to 30 attained some form of tertiary education.

There are five levels of education in each of the baronies, i.e the Primary education, the middle education and the higher/upper education, Full time education begins from the age of 3-4 years till 16 years of age, though some of the baronies have extend this to 17 years of age, to people who have been born after the year 2000 although This full-time education does not need to be at a school and some parents choose to home educate. Before they reach compulsory school age, children can be educated at nursery if parents wish, though there is only limited government funding for such places. Middle school education isnt compulsory as it only includes higher skilled activities and non essentials such as (HOTS,TTP) etc.

The Primary Curriculum of the Krenyan Gŕensde and Rësgrade's include, General Science, Life science, Social studies, Extracurriculum(optional), History, Krenyan, Mathematics, native language(only applicaple to certain cases) and life skills, with these subjects being mandatory to attend and learn till the 8th grade. The Curriculum changes somewhat and offers some choices to students who want to study a particular subject after their 8th's Exams, These include, Pure Science (includes, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Krenyan and Physical Education), Computer science (Includes, Information Technology, Physics, mathematics, Krenyan and Home science) also additional choices are offered in the Arts and Commerce and Financial parts.

The Marking system in the Primary Education is based upon the Grading system, as students are considered to be learning things at that period of their education, and are tried to be kept relatively out of pressure, with there being six grades that one can get by attending an exam, those are A+(90%+) A(80-90%) B(80-70) C(70-50) D(50-40) E(40-30) and F(30-lower) with F being the remark given to papers which fail to pass the examination. As for the Upper Eduation, Marks are given on numerical basis and thus are calculated in that way, with the passing aggregate required to be 35% of the total marks the exam is being held on, which is mostly 100 or 50, based on the exams conducted.

Ethinicity

The Krenyan State is a diverse nation consisting of several ethinicities, which have inhabited its lands for several centuries, these minority groups and ethinic groups are a prime reason and source of krenyan heritage and pride, these groups consist of the Krenyans, Bisvenis, Ereskans, Ascharis and the Kankadians. With Krenyans being the Major Ethinic group in the nation, with the other groups being counted as minority groups, The Krenyan have Originated from the northern areas of Thuadia, where they lived as nomadic tribes for centuries, during the migration years, the Krenyans emigrated to the modern day southern plains of krenya, and settled the areas.

The Kentals consists of both bisveni and ereskans whom live in the southern portions of the krenyan state in close communities where they have their own cultural heritage similar to that on kentalis itself. There are claims that the kental populaces have been discriminated upon in the past decades and have been actively tried to be "krenyanised" by giving them lessons that how they are not different than the any other krenyan, which has mostly ended in utter faliure with a growing sense of nationalistic sentiments rise up amongst the kentals (Bisveni and Ereskans) with mutual distrust between the kentals and the krenyans being very clearly visible.

As far the Aschari's lives and history goes, they have been the greatest sufferers after the krenyan annexation of selenzia in the 1700's, as the krenyan government and people have always regarded to them as "Natives" and that they should be "krenified" to the greatest extent, and as a result most of the aschari's have lost their own form of language which is considered to be somewhat similar to the one spoken in prei meas, while also being killed in the early settlements era, to accompany for the use of the lands formerly owned by the aschari populations, though not as vehement as the kentals.

The Aschari's have still achieved to sustain their culture, and see great levels of academic and social successes in their lives, mostly as a result of the liberalization of the krenyan culture in the early to mid 1900's, which led to peaceful and harmonious relations between the krenyans and the ascharis in the early 1900's with intermarriages becoming common since then, and ascharis being proudly be able to show their identity in educational centres, and other day to day places, mostly due to government actions to preserve aschari culture and heritage after the end of the 1910's and 20's.

Demographics

The Demographics of Krenya  are known through national  censuses  and international estimates. The Royal ministry of Statistics of Krenya conducted the most recent census in 2020, where the population reached 20 million inhabitants.  The population density is 63 inhabitants per square kilometre, and the 2016 estimated life expectancy is 74.81 years. In 1990, the population rose at a near consistent, but low, rate (0.96% from the two censuses). Since 1979, Krenyan birth rate  has exceeded its  death rate; the natural growth is positive. In terms of age structure, the population is dominated by the 15–64-year-old segment (80.09%). The median age of the population is 27.9 years, and the gender ratio is 0.97 males to 1.00 female. Since the early 1980s, the birth rate has been fairly stable, with an average of 2 children per woman, down from an average of 3 in the early 1960s.

The 9,910 kms long railroads connects the main cities of Zozava nenaheim and Gorainz...and and its surrounding villages and smaller cities and has train stations and signal posts to run the trains.


Zozava Metro

Zozava Metro

The  Zozava Metro is a  rapid transit system that serves Zozava, the capital of  Krenya. Opened in 1992,  it presently consists of 3 lines and 33 stations, totaling 40.27 kilometres. In 2013, the system carried 328.5 million passengers, which averages to a daily ridership of approximately 900,000.

During the 1980s–1990s the population of the city grew to over a million and designs for a rapid transit system were initially proposed during the late 1980s. Construction began on 3 May 1989, and the system was opened to the public on 30 June 1992, becoming the first metro of krenya.

The city is located on an almost level surface and on very wet soils. As a result, all of the Zozava Metro stations are under the surface, there are deep-level stations.

Krenyan language is arguably the closest language to the Common language, having virtually the same grammar and really close phonology. Vocabulary wise and world-formation wise, Krenyan is almost exclusively Germanic, with little to no Romance influence, unlike Common. Krenyan alphabet has managed to preserve multiple letters, which has been dropped from the Common language in the past:
