The RFAK (Short for the Federal Republic Aleverde and Kopersia) is a very small country northeast of Guai, lying in the Kōpere Bay. The mainland region, Kopersia, is a relatively flat plain with almost no hills and a lot of rivers, resembling a terrain similar to the Dutch terrain IRL. The island, called Aleverde, is relatively hilly though, with two main and multiple small rivers. A small island lies a few kilometers from the Kopersian coast, on which the capital and federal district are located.

	Human geography
	A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style

The territory of the RFAK is divided into 3 districts or canētos: Kopersia, Aleverde and Hȍvȅlike Federal District (KOP: Canēto Fēdēral Hȍvȅlike). Kopersia has 830k inhabitants, Aleverde has 130k inhabitants and HFD has 36k inhabitants, totaling to just over 1 million inhabitants. Kopersia is a very densely populated area, containing the largest city called Ȅlikerāvai, having 341k inhabitants. The territory north of the currently unnamed river (J) is the most inhabited and industrialized, with Ȅlikerāvai lying there. The territory south of the river is mostly farmland with small towns, with only a few cities over 20k lying there. Aleverde has one city where half of the population lives (65k) called Ātúveri, and the other people live spreaded over the island. Finally, Hȍvȅlike is a city lying on an island with the same name, and the island is practically the city, a central hill that is a national park. The architecture and general style will be resembling Guai, but also with some modern IRL Asian touches to it. The economy on the mainland is mostly based on services, with some advanced hi-tech industries. Aleverde will be mostly based on agriculture and tourism. The development of Kopersia is very high, with a HDI value of 0.956, while Aleverde is still very developed, but just less, standing at 0.891. The only highways of the country are in Kopersia, mostly connecting the large cities and connecting to a few other countries. Aleverde has multiple expressways, but no highways.

	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

The history of Aleverde starts way earlier than the history of Kopersia. Aleverde was a kingdom from around 1700 BC to 345 AD called the Vitigerian Empire, also controlling a large part of Kopersia. From 345 AD to 1507 AD, the country was almost always under Guaiian control, if Aiki accepts this part of his history, of course. From 1507, it’s a kingdom again, until in 1771, the country split after a civil war between the Aleverdan monarchists and the Kopersian democrats. After a long split, the monarchy of Aleverde becomes weaker and weaker and in 1904, the democrats took over the country, deposing the king and declaring a republic. However, only 6 years later (1908), a currently unnamed dictator took over the country and ruled it until 1967, when he died. After that, a few more dictators ruled the country, all having fights and civil wars, until in 1998, a revolution finally made the country democratic again. The next year, the country unified with Kopersia, creating the RFAK.

Both areas have a similar culture, close to the Guaiian culture. Aleverde still has its own culture, but Guaiian influences are rising. Kopersia is generally viewed as a mix of a little bit old Aleverdan culture and a lot of Guaiian culture. The language is way different though, and they use a lot of diacritics as they very recently changed to the standard alphabet. Religion is still important in Aleverde, where most people are following Guaiian Ohoism or Vitigerism. In Kopersia however, near 90% of people are atheist, an extremely high number.
