In the Western and Eastern Plains of the nation, the Koppen-Geiger climate is Cfc (annual avg 0C to 35C), whereas the highlands have a Dfb climate (annual avg -10C to 30C). The nation has the Highlands spanning north to south through the middle. There are two plains to either side of the highlands. The soil is fertile due to the presence of several volcanoes in the Highlands, except for the now dormant Mount Bukuara, sticking out like a sore thumb in the Eastern Plains. https://imgur.com/a/fffuzab

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
About 24% of the population lives below the poverty line. The GDP per capita is $14,400USD ($947,332.80IND, native currency) and the national GDP is $308.892B USD ($2.032T IND). A steady rate of -0.5% population has been observed in the rural Highlands, mainly due to people moving out to either the plains or large towns in the Highlands for job opportunities. The Eastern Plains have experienced a 2% population increase, the Western Plains with a 1.5% increase and the urbanised Highlands with a 4.5% population increase. A lot of both plains have been urbanised, and most land left is used for agriculture, to grow wheat, fruit, vegetables and other staples. In the highlands, rice and wheat are mainly grown. Infrastructure in the highlands are poor - most residential roads are unpaved. This can also be seen in the Western Plains and urbanised Highlands. The Eastern Plains features smooth roads complete with many facilities for civilians to use. Facilities in the urbanised Highlands and Western Plains are also common.
Inūra-Nyaratanta (Inya colloquially) is split into regions and then into provinces, which are then split into either municipalities (non-urban areas) or cities (urban areas). Then, municipalities are split into boroughs, and cities are split into suburbs. This is the common administrative division system for the nation, even used in the Bokoa Autonomous Region.

| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Humans lived in the area for thousands of years, specifically in the Highlands. Then, three groups split up - the Nyaratanta people who moved westwards, the Inuw Bokoa people who remained in the highlands, and the Inūra people who moved eastwards. Then, languages started forming between the three groups. The Inuw Bokoa and Inūra people shared a language as trading was very common, whilst the Nyaratanta people, in isolation, created their own language. Over time, these languages started to branch into different dialects and eventually newer languages. When trading routes were established, all three groups became richer in materials over time. However, there were many thieves and robbers that lingered along the road, looking for valuable goods to take. The three demographics united, starting the legacy of the nation. Three presidents from each region work together to rule the nation. Infrastructure was improved on and urbanisation started to happen mainly in the Plains, prompting residents in the Highlands to move out.
The Nyaratanta languages are based off Pama-Nyungan languages, and the Inūra languages are based off Timor-Alor-Pantar languages, with slight Polish, English and Portuguese influence.

- Hi Kyunzi! I am ITC, the owner of Izaland, one of your potential neighbor countries if your request is successful, and I am happy to see that someone is finally interested in this empty box! I want to take the liberty of adding some comments to your territory request.
- The Northern Izaland region (https://opengeofiction.net/relation/293803) is a complex territory with tormented human geography. The original substrate was Ainu, but as the Izakic people from the south penetrated the region, they partially melted with the local population, resulting in a partial reshuffling of the population with the Japonic influence coming from further south. During the Middle Ages, the region was also influenced by the arrival of the Kalmish (German) and the Finnic people from the north. This led to the area becoming a flourishing exchange center between the Izakic-Japonic sphere and the Kalmish-Eelantian (Finnish) one. Given your interest in introducing the Macro-Pama-Nyungan family, which could be considered as a language isolate, it could work since we are talking of a relatively small territory (see the Basque Country). Nevertheless, it would be beneficial to incorporate some Ainu influence.
- About the natural geography, please noted that the Aigan mountain range, which separates Izaland from the northern countries, reaches an altitude of 5,000 metres in certain locations. The presence of a volcano (or an ancient volcano) may also be a plausible explanation, although the orogenesis of these mountains is likely to have resulted from crust deformation rather than volcanism, like the formation of the Alpine-Himalayan mountains.
- The last words will come from the local admin, but I just wanted to add my two cents.
- Good luck with your application!
