The Republic of Canterra (Toamai: Kanawhiwa; Kukebi: Gwatera), known mononymously as Canterra, is a country located in the Lantian Peninsula, a peninsula of East Uletha. Canterra consists of fourteen states further split into (YY) counties; it borders Zdansk and Lantia to the north, and Westway and Fiorentia (a overseas territory of Merganien) with a coastline of the Gulf of Volta and the Gulf of Orinoco. The official language is Ingerish, with Toamai and Kukebi also as national languages (spoken in Ezamai and The Keys).
History
Etymology
Prehistory and history
Scientists believe that Canterra was first inhabited at around 40,000 BC, as stone artifacts in Parlenage, North Barshurst and Canal Nord have been recorded to have a average age of 34,000 BC. Homo erectus Lenthialis (Lenthials) have been found in caves in Torlonza, Embrosinet and Walross State. These people may have been related with Izaki hunters, however, we know that these people travelled by boat, from the modern day Yenkaido Province to the western coast of Westway and Canterra. When they got to Canterra, they made a entirely new writing system and language, known now as Toamai. By a stroke of luck, there was a fertile valley between the Sanwood Mountains and the Pascalle Mountains, known as the Miyayu Valley to the Toamai, and now known as the Ulstbern Valley.
Izaki Influence
Around 90 AD, the Kingdom of Sopeke successfully invaded Canterra, declared the capital Iremon (modern day Iscemon), and called this territory "Kuusamo", which meant "Nine Mountains", representing the nine mountains on the outcoast of Eiha (modern day Nautecove).
