The Republic of Izaland (華邦共和國, Izaki Kyohwakuku), commonly referred as Izaland is a country in south-east Uletha occupying part of the continental landmass of Eastern Uletha and the whole island of Kubori (making part about the 20 % of the total 306,710 sq km of surface.. The capital city is Sainðaul (also spelled Saindzaul), located across the Tandan Strait. Izaland's neighbor countries are Belphenia and UL29c to the east, UL28h, Saikyel, and Teberia to the north, and UL31c to the west, while the southern part protrudes into the the Sound of Pa.

With nearly 118 million inhabitants, with a population density of 385 people per sq km, Izaland is one of the most densely populated nations, but most of the inhabitants live in the capital area (alone containing more than 22 million people) and in the bigger cities along Kubori island's western shore, such as Kichatsura, Panaireki and Warohan. Other major urban areas are Isadashi, about 100 km north from Sainðaul, Riyatoma, the main city of the central continental area, and Sannupuri, the largest port on the Gulf of Volta.

Izaland is an economically advanced nation, with high standards of life and wealth, boosted by the miraculous economical growth accomplished by the nation after the World war.

History

Geography Geography of Izaland Continent Uletha (South-Eastern) Region Axian peninsular Population 117,820,936 (2022) Area • Total 306710 km2 118421 sq mi • Water (%) TBA Population density 385 km2 1395,24 sq mi Major rivers Shinkōsari, Nozaba, Zaan, Major lakes Satsohonu, Usumūn, Irinoen Time zone WUT+8:00 (IST) Izaland is located in the south-east Uletha, extending for about 306 thousands sq kilometers, following roughly the shape of a "T". Nearly the 78% of Izaland extension is contained into the Uletha continent, while the remaining territory is distributed on the islands of Kubori and those making the Itakiri Prefecture. Kubori island, one of the largest in Uletha, extends for about 62,000 sq km. The capital city, Sainðaul has the original center within the continental area, but it naturally expanded across the Tandan Strait, including the former city of Nikabul. From a geographical point of view, we can divide the country into four macro-areas: The northern part, corresponding to the prefecture of Yenkaido, which overlooks the Gulf of Volta and tends to have mild summers and somewhat harsher winters, due to the northern winds that are blocked by the northern mountain range. Doonpuku prefecture is also often considered part of this region, characterized by a vast plain exploited for agricultural purposes, and relatively sparsely populated. The central part, a plain that extends diagonally from north-west to south-east for about 600 km, bordered to the north by the northern mountain range. This area sees the population concentrated in several medium-large urban centers, including Riyatoma, Makkenoke and Poridake. Due to the distance from the coasts, this area experiences a temperate continental climate, which causes hot summers and cold winters. The coastal area, which extends in the southern part of the Ulethian area, and along the coasts of the island of Kubori. The climate varies from coastal temperate to subtropical temperate. This area is prone to monsoon disturbances coming from the south-east. The southern coasts of Kubori and the smaller islands, whose characteristics are found in a subtropical climate with a strong presence of seasonal rainfall. The northern coast on the Gulf of Volta The vast marshland of Wenchogon working as a separation between Izaland and UL31c Glaciers on the top mountains of the northern range. The vast farmlands in the eastern region A tropical scenery of Itakiri Prefecture Forest cover in the middle part of Kubori Islands The island of Shirituku, in the north As already stated, Kubori island makes up nearly the 20% of national territory, and has a regular rectangular shape with a depression on the western side, where Panaireki Bay is located. Most of the settlements are located along the western coast, with the inner area almost unspoiled and still covered by subtropical forests, especially farther south. The south-western part of Kubori island has an intricate system of peninsulas, pointing at the Itakiri Islands. On the south-east of Kubori Island the land extends into the Kaiton Peninsula, pointing south. Off shore, another archipelago of islands, including Basotachi and Ogamoton extends. Izaland has over 400 among islands and inlets, mostly near the coastline, with some exceptions. Most of the biggest islands are comprised within Itakiri Prefecture, where Itakiri and Kahadu islands are the largest ones, each about 1,100 square kilometers wide. Itakiri, Kahadu and the nearby islands are volcanic islands and, despite the limited landmass, they have some peaks exceeding 3000 m. Other notable islands are Oingos and Ogamoton, still in Itakiri, and Nurihara, making up Midōhinnan Prefecture. As a notable geomorphological feature, the westernmost point of Izaland is the volcanic island of Tsohana, connected with Kubori island by an isthmus. The Tandan Strait, accross of which the capital is located, is also home to many smaller islands. Since they are located close to the coastline in a highly densely populated area, often they are linked with bridges or tunnels to the mainland. Other island located in sea are Fuendaru, Sumasai and Tekirunan. Finally, Yenkaidō Prefecture, in the north, also a couple of major islands, Shirituku and TBD island. Rivers [To be updated] The main rivers of Kubori island are the Zaan (蓙杏河, Zaan sāri) flowing for 315 km in the south-western part of Kubori island. The river begins in the Jogare mountains, and its estuary is located where the city of Warohan expands. Other notable rivers in Kubori islands are the Nozaba (濃沙芭河, Nozaba sāri) (182 km) and the Kankayue (巻嘉巍河, Kankayue sāri) (218 km). Climate Thanks to the privileged position, and the north-south extension of the country, Izaland enjoys different climates, from the alpine to the tropical one. Most of the population lives in a humid subtropical climate area, with a distinctive distribution on the western coast of the island of Kubori, and the plains placed in the center - western part of the Ulethan side. The average temperature in the capital, Sainðaul, is around 20,5 °C, with maximum average of 30°C and minimum average of 12°C The climate zone can be roughly divided into three zones: the northern area, close to the Aigan Mountain Range, including 5000 m high peaks, sees continental to alpine climate. This area sees frequent snowfall between December to early March. Moving to the area around the capital, the climate shifts to humid subtropical, with long hot summers, cool winters, and summer peak to annual precipitation. On the south-western tip of the insular part of the country, the subtropical climate has some tropical characteristics, while the south-east and the east coast has a tropical monsoon climate, with a wet season from May to October, a dry season from November to April, and consistently very warm to hot temperatures with high humidity. Ogamoton , Sānpelui and Kotohawa islands, in the south, have a lowest temperatures which never goes below 15°C even during the winter, making them an international holiday resort, especially famous for diving and leisure sports.

The 92,1 of the population belongs to the Izaki ethnicity, with the remaining 7,9% being immigrants, mostly from Pasundan-Padjadjaran, Wiwaxia and Commonia's countries, and other expats from other countries in Uletha (Belphenia, Kojo, Saikyel). The population of Izaland is largely urban, as the major economic centers since the beginning of industrialization have attracted a large part of the young population from rural areas. Urban planning A characteristic of the territorial development of Izaki urban centers lies in the fact that, compared to other nations, there are few small isolated villages, while the number of large and medium-sized cities is greater. This is due not only to a greater ease in the distribution of goods, but also to the ancient philosophy of "jiyenchohwashisān" (自然調和思想), or "thought of harmony with nature", drawn up from the 5th century BC by the Taemasa dynasty. This method of land planning was based on both scientific and astrological criteria, and the positioning of towns and villages was well defined. As the Taemasa dynasty aggregated, through conquests, new territories that had independently developed their regional urban planning, it came, in certain cases, to relocate entire villages, if they did not respect the precepts of the "jiyenchohwashisān". Although urban planning is still based on modern criteria, the ministry of the environment keeps a careful eye in order to avoid land consumption in the territory. Major metropolitan areas In addition to the Greater Sainðaul area (about 23.4 million inhabitants), other noteworthy metropolitan areas are that of Warohan-Eyenniyul (15 million), Panaireki (5.6 million), Kichatsura (3.2 million), Isadashi (2.7 million), Shirukami-Sahnajima (1.7 million), Makkeriya (Riyatoma and Makkenoke, 2.9 million), Sannupuri (2.2 million), Daishin (1.6 million), Ikkashiya-Katayoshi ( 1.7 million) and Reilusahna (1.5 million). Other towns of some importance are, in no particular order: Atsujīl, Sagoma, Kanlisahna, Muanake, Jinneisoke, Nagareki and Poridake.

Blue, the symbolic color of Izaland, represents at the same time the color of the sea, and of the numerous streams and lakes that cover the surface of the nation. The red circle indicates the rising of the sun in the east, a direction that has always been of great importance for Izaland, as to the east there is the open sea, and therefore all the trade routes. The white surrounding the red sun indicates the light of the midday sun which, thanks to its heat, allows agricultural activities to flourish. Similarly, the white color is an element with a strong symbolism as an element of purity, according to the Izaki philosophy. Administrative Divisions Izaland is divided into [TBD] prefectures (縣, ken), the Capital Special Administration District (首都特別自治区, Shuto tukubyes jitsiku), the special city of Warohan (深湾特別市, Warohan tukubyes'shi) and the special territory of Yenkaido Prefecture (遠海土, Yenkaido). At the same time, in the north of Kubori Island La Piana (等平奈領, La Pyāna ryō) is located. La Piana is de facto a Plevian speaking independent entity, although certain political functions such as foreign relations and defense are managed by Izaland on behalf.

However, the rich natural environment gives Izaland also an important role in agriculture and fishery, and the industrial sector is particularly active in shipbuilding and electronic parts. Agricolture and livestock Mixed fields in Koroshai Valley Being a mountainous country, Izaland's available territory for agriculture is limited. Most of the available land is located in the central plains of the continental part, where mostly wheat, corn and rice are the main products. In the southern area of Kubori island, given the subtropical climate, sugarcane, tea, coffee and tropical fruits are also cultivated. The tamoki is a tropical fruit originally from Kubori island and the main production center is the south-east coast of the island. Every year Kanlisahna hosts the international tamoki fair, where the main producer of this fruit gather and it is possible to taste the different varieties. Fishery represent another important part of the primary sector. Being mostly surrounded by the sea, Izaland's cuisine also makes an extensive use of fish and seafood. The main products are the green fin tuna, mackerel, adekun and the hinsos, a specie of edible shark. Violet prawns are also a popular dish in the south of Kubori island. In Izaland meat industry is somehow limited compared to other industrialized countries, since intensive animal farming is forbidden since the "Animal Farming New Ethics Law" (家畜新倫理法, Kachuku Shin-rinlipō) was approved in 1998 by the then minister for the environment Saeki Jurikomai. For this reason, most of the meat is now artificially produced via the syntethization of proteins, and the premium meat industry is satisfied by open air animal farms. Mining and forestry sectors are fairly developed in the eastern coast of Kubori island, where coal, timber and modest quantity of gold are produced. Oil deposit are scarce, although a reserve enough to sustain the 20% of the domestic demand is located off-shore Shikarana. Industry Industry in Izaland nowadays has a minor importance compared to a few decades ago, due to the delocalization of heavy industries, however still now it contributes to a wide part of its economy. The main manufacture products include ships and vessels (especially fishing and cruise ones), railway cars and trainsets (mainly produced by Izaki Sharyān and Atron Railcars Manufacture, ARM) and parts for spaceships. Other important productions are semiconductor and screen panels, furniture (Izaland has a strong wooden furniture tradition, using the kamawi (梏) tree wood) and instruments for fishery. Energy Izaland in the last years has invested huge amounts of its economic budget in renewable resources, and as of 2020, the 87% of the produced energy comes from them. Blessed by copious amounts of water resources, most of the energy is produced by hydroelectric, photovoltaic and nuclear, and it is distributed by Hwadyen Corporation, the national provider of electricity in the country. Nuclear power Izaland has heavily invested in safe and productive nuclear electric power, and as of 2021 has 9 active plants, one in construction and two currently inactive due to renewals or upgrades. The totality of the nuclear power plants are located on the western side of Kubori island, where there is a lower risk of calamities and tsunami, compared to the open sea exposed eastern coast. Shin-Shikarana plant is the most powerful of the country, with a complessive output capacity of 6,4 Gwe. Services Transportation and infrastructures Izaland counts on an extensive network of roads, railways and maritime links to sustain the high demand of public transportation in the country. Roads Izaland has a network of [tba] kms of highways connecting the major cities, numbered with the system "A-n", where n is a number. The main route of the network is the A1 highway, connecting the capital and Warohan calling at all the major cities of the western coast. This is not the fastest way to travel between the two cities, but indeed it is the busiest segment, as along its length lives nearly the 70% of the whole country population. Due to the geological and geographic characteristic of the country, Izaki highways make an extensive use of tunnels and bridges, and this justifies the not too cheap toll price. For this reason, most of the traffic is freight or mass transportation. Urban highways The largest cities have urban sections of highways, such as the capital highway in Sainðaul (首都高速道路, shuto kōsoku dōro). There are also some segments which are freeways. Between the continental side and the island side of the country, there are 4 highway links, with one freeway and three paid highways. Railways A parade of Izaki trains Izaland was one of the first countries to introduce railways, as the first railroad, connecting Sainðaul with Kawayatsu, opened in 1845. Now the country counts on xxxx km of tracks, including xxx km of high speed railway. Overview Rail transport in Izaland is provided by different companies, mainly being: Izarail: the main railway company, formerly a group controlled by the state, got privatized in 1998. Todays controls most of the rail network in the country, including the high speed railway, with the subsidiary IZX (the thick line in the map on the right). Several private companies, mostly controlling suburban lines in certain cities and subway networks Izarail Kwabus, the national-wide freight operator (outside Kubori Island, foreigner freight railway operators are allowed to enter Izaland) Main private railways Shinsabu Electric Railways to be expanded Gauge Most of the railways in Izaland are built in standard gauge (1,435 mm), including the high speed railway, allowing thus interoperability with the former railways. Some local lines or subway lines have also different gauges, such as 1,067 mm or 1,544 mm. The usual distance between tracks is 5,5 m from the edges. Electrification Almost the 86% of all the railways in Izaland are electrified (overhead lines, 25000 V 50 Hz AC for high speed rail and 3000 V DC for local lines). Non electrified lines are mainly run by hybrid trains or battery trains. Since 2014 Izaland, in order to diminish CO2 emissions, started a massive program of withdrawal of diesel trainsets and locomotives. Passenger Service In Izaland everyday XX million users ride on different kind of trains, especially in the main urbanized areas. Basically in Izaland Railway services are divided into the following categories: Local urban services (都市圏普通列車, toshikwen futsōn-lyessha) Local regional services (地方普通列車, jibān futsōn-lyessha) Limited Express services (特急列車, tukkyun-lyessha) High Speed Services (IZX) (高速列車, kosoku-ryessha) Touristic trains (観光列車, kwankwān-lyessha) Night Trains' (INX) (夜行列車, yagyou-ryessha) History Railways have played an important role in Izaland since their first diffusion in the 19th century, with the first line opened between Sainðaul and Kawayatsu in 1845. Timeline 1838 - Planning of the first national railway network 1841 - Beginning of the construction works for a railway between Sainðaul and Nowodate (nowadays Shirukami) 1845 - Opening of the first section to Kawayatsu 1847 - Opening of the remaining section to Nowodate 1848 - Opening of the Warohan Railway, between Warohan and Naeba, the first railway section on Kubori island 1852 - Accident of Toryoshun, an explosion happened during the tunnel excavation works of the Subusai Line 1903 - Opening of the Aigan Alps railway, and first international connection 1913 - Start of the Shuto Tsōnkin Chesdo, the first commuter railway network in Izaland 1933 - Opening of the first two lines of Sainðaul metro 1975 - Opening of the first High Speed railway, from Niji-Sainðaul to Warohan 1978 - Opening of the Sainðaul - Humabe Kukujai Resort Line (then called Shin-Keihuku Line) from Sainðaul to Isadashi 1986 - Opening of the first railway tunnel between Sainðaul and Kubori island allowing direct services from Sainðaul to Warohan and other cities. Train types Suburban or intercity railway lines usually have different types of trains running on their tracks (列車種別, ryessha shubyes) with different stop patterns. A train that stops at every station is called a local train (普通列車, futsōn-ryessha). Trains that stop at fewer stations and are therefore faster than local trains are classified as Rapid (快速列車, kwaisoku-ryessha), Express (急行列車, kyungyō-ryessha), Limited Express (特急列車, tukkyun-ryessha), etc. and may require surcharges depending on company policies. Intercity trains, mainly operated by IR, are called City-linker Limited Express (都市連結特急列車, toshi-lyenkes tukkyun-ryessha, often shortened in 都急, tokyun) and run on traditional non-high speed railway (although they can reach 200 kph on certain upgraded lines). High speed railway (IZX) has different train types, including direct, all stop and fast trains (see the article for further information). Commuter networks Izaland counts 11 cities with a population over 1 million inhabitants. In these and also less large cities, Izarail, altogether with locally administered subway networks and private railways, operates several commuter lines, using either existent railway tracks and newly built ones, to move million of commuters every day. Capital suburban Network The capital suburban network logo The Capital suburban network (首都圏近郊𐐊𐐁ⵗ𐐛ᱺ𐐇𐐀ⵗ𐐠, shutokwen kinkwō nettwākk) serves the urban area of Sainðaul and the main cities and urbanization gravitating around it, such as Riimibaiken, Showanul, Osenude, Shakihori, Oitsura etcetera. It is composed by 19 lines. ■ CO Chikaoi Line ■ IS Ikasei Line ■ SO Sabuonno Line ■ MA Morikūn Line ■ GS Igashaku Line ■ LL Loop Line ■ SI Sainniga Line ■ AX Airport Express ■ BS Ibashii Line ■ SU Shirause Line ■ KS Kawasabu Line ■ KH Kawashaku Line ■ RI Riimiilla Line ■ JA Jisakūn Line ■ HO Hashionno Line ■ OI Onnoilla Line ■ OJ Onnojukan Line ■ AM Airport MegaExpress ■ SM Shiimori Line Warohan metropolitan network The second city of Izaland, Warohan also boasts an extensive railway commuter network to link the city center with the many mid-sized cities located in the metro area, such as Eyenniyul, Yatatoshi, Katasogi, Muanake and more. Besides the Izarail lines and, of course, the metro, Warohan has also a mentionable extension of private railways. Panaireki "Panairail" network Panairail is the nickname of the railway corridor serving the third city of Izaland, Panaireki, especially stretching on a north-south direction from Nugamochi to Shin-Shikarana. Kichatsura metropolitan network Kichatsura suburban railway network opened in 1999, linking the city of Tomekiha to Nugamochi. Some services are integrated into the Panairail network. High Speed Rail IZX (IZaland eXpress) is the commercial brand name for the high speed rail services in Izaland, operated by a subsidiary of Izarail, the main railway operator of the country.
