Medactl Strait

The Medactl Strait is a name used by some people in Bhormakaro, a country in Astyria, to refer to the body of water that separates the two continents of Teudallum and Lorecia. The name Medactl is derived from the names of the two seas that the strait connects: the Mederano Sea in the northwest and the Actlpacinarcticadian Ocean in the southeast. The official name of the strait, as recognized by the International Community, is the Putin Strait.

The Medactl Strait is the largest and most important strait in Astyria, and one of the largest in the world. The strait has a strategic significance for the region, as it facilitates the movement of goods, people, and military forces between Teudallum and Lorecia. It also reduces the travel time and distance around the two continents, as ships can avoid the long and perilous journey around the southern tip of Lorecia or the northern tip of Teudallum.

The eastern entrance of the strait is dominated by L'Isola Grande, a large island that belongs to ViZion, a country that borders the strait along with four other nations: Haguenau, Nikolia, Noordenstaat, and Earent. The island serves as a gateway to the strait, and houses a large contingency of ViZion’s military as well as some major population centers, including Kirkland. L'Isola Grande also hosts a variety of natural and cultural attractions, such as volcanoes, beaches, forests, and historical monuments12

The name Medactl Strait reflects the historical grievances of Bhormakaro, a country that lost its coastline along the strait to ViZion’s expansion. Bhormakaro still claims sovereignty over parts of the strait now controlled by ViZion, and refuses to recognize the name Putin Strait. The dispute has caused diplomatic tensions and occasional clashes between Bhormakaro and ViZion.
