'''Deodeca''', officially the '''Commonwealth of Deodeca''' is a sovereign country in southern Archanta. It consists of 12 provinces that span 685,000 square kilometres (264,000 square miles), making it one of the largest countries in the world. It borders Ardencia and the FSA to the east and south-east, Ambrosia to the southwest, and AR043 to the west. The capital is TBD, and its largest city is TBD. The [[Ambrosia|Ambrosian]] exclave of {{relation|87788|Upper Crown (Haute Couronne)}} sits between the Deodecan provinces of AR060-3 and AR060-4. Deodeca is a member of the [[Ingerish Commonwealth]], having gained independence from [[Ingerland]] in UNKNOWN YEAR. It is also a member of the [[Assembly of Nations]].

It shares a border with [[Älved]], [[Boscunis]], [[Glaster]], and UL22c.


==Etymology==
The United Republic of Kara was established in 1934 with the signing of the Union Treaty of Kara, which united the independent states of Karskat, Thilshull, Reuntha, and Vezhekja under a federal democratic republic. The Republic of Kirek joined the union in 1952.


==History==
Initially a 4-state (5 after Kirek joined) federal union with a very weak federal government, each state remained relatively distinct culturally and linguistically. However, increased cultural mixing and growing demands for federal infrastructure and social programs led to the drafting of the United Kara Amendment of 1978, which passed with strong support from voters of all regions. The amendment, which took effect on 1 January 1979, created a new constitution that replaced the Union Treaty as the law of the land, replacing the initial 5-member national council that ruled with the current system of a national president, 300-member legislature, and a much less powerful national council. It also abolished the 5-state system, replacing it with the current 16-state federal system.|anthem=Sjänge som än (''Sing as One'')|motto=Fjörnåde för Dämókrati (''United for Democracy'')}}


===Pre-Ulethan History===
== Geography and Climate ==
The earliest inhabitants of the Deodecan territory were various Native Archantan (or Native Astrasian) groups that prehistorically migrated from North Archanta. These tribes became culturally and physically distinct from other native tribal groups such as ones located in the Federal States and Ardencia. Among the hundreds of tribes, each developed their own unique internal culture and mythologies. Within Deodeca, there were over TBD major groups that formed rudimentary 'tribal empires'. The Tshayhamhash people of Ingerish Asperia once occupied a large empire that covered the northern portion of Ingerish Asperia. With history being passed down through oral history and art, much of today's knowledge is developed from archaeological findings.


[[File:Indigenous art at the Canadian Museum of History.jpg|500px|thumb|left|An early Indigenous art piece, c. 1450, now located at the National Indigenous Museum in Stradworth. ]]


Native groups have been retrospectively grouped by geographic area to a total of six groupings. '''The North Horn First Nations''' (Ingerish Asperia and Katichtishan), '''Central Prairie First Nations''' (Central Deodeca), '''Northeast First Nations''' (Peralia and part of -11), '''Island First Nations''' (Queen Adelaide Island), '''Lake First Nations''' (Nawagan and Agawaskway)  and '''Alpine First Nations''' (Ateria and Ouanatchkan). These groupings refer to individual tribes that shared somewhat common cultural traits with each other.  
Kara has a mixed temperate climate. The southern coast and Tebbjet River valley are particularly temperate, while the northern states are characterized by an alpine mountain climate.


Native peoples largely lived off the land and commonly hunted bison, deer, rodents, and occasionally birds. Fishing was also very common and Ulethan explorers described very advanced fishing techniques and technologies developed by some tribes. Tribes usually lived along rivers or near water areas. Canoes and boats were constructed using bison or deer hide and were used for transportation and fishing.

There were sometimes conflicts between groups and native oral history describes a particular long and bloody war between TBD and TBD some TBD years ago. Interactions with groups outside of the Deodecan region were rare, mainly due to natural barriers. Some trading was done by lake tribes, as boats allowed for easy access across the lake. The Queen Adelaide Island tribes remained largely isolated from the greater landmass for hundreds of years and developed a distinctly unique cultural and spirituality.
===Administrative Divisions===
{{Infobox admin div|name=Kara|first-level=state (''län'')|second-level=municipality (''kommun'')}}


For thousands of years, the indigenous groups occupied the land without any interaction with Ulethan peoples.
Kara consists of 15 federal divisions, known as ''länär'' (LE-ner) or states, which have considerable governing power. Each state is further divided into municipalities, known as ''kommunär'' (CO-moon-eyr); each municipality administers public works and utilities as well as some local community programs.

===Modern History===


==Geography==
Bladstrams Kommun
Deodeca has vast and varied geography that covers a large portion of western Astrasia. Deodeca has extensive maritime borders that extend into the "Sea of Deodeca" and some of the Grand Lakes (Lake Amanecer and Lake Betaouais), giving it a large EEZ.


===Climate===
Brynderyds Kommun
Northern Deodeca sits mainly within the ''Cfa'' and ''Cfb'' climate ranges in the north. These provinces are most susceptible to thunderstorms and strong ocean winds. [[Ingerish Asperia]]'s western coast is most prone to these seaborne storms and breezes due to its position on the Asperic northward current, and is the wettest part of the country. Areas east of (insert name of mountain range), such as eastern Ingerish Asperia and Kastichetshan, receive lower precipitation due to the rain shadow.


As for Southern Deodeca, its distance from the ocean guarantees a mostly continental climate (primarily Dfa and Dfb). However, the number of large lakes allows for a more humid climate in these regions, further enabling the lush temperate to boreal forests that dominate the southern half of the country. Lake-effect snowfall is especially high on eastern shores of Lake Ouanatchkan, as well as in limited amounts along lakes Betaouais and Amanecer.
Frydekärke Kommun


===Hydrology===
Fvilhävns Kommun
Deodeca's abundance of water resources is due to its density of water networks. Deodeca has over 200 major rivers. Major rivers include [[Ingerish Asperia]]'s River Agnes and Umbra River, [[Peralia]]'s Jersey River, [[Agawaskway]]'s Frontenac River, Ouanatchkan's Edrange River, and above all, the Odeka River, which bisects the entire nation. The lakes of Deodeca are an important resource, both economically and environmentally. Lake Ouanatchkan, Lake Betaouais, and Lake Amanecer are among the most important and largest lakes in Deodeca. These contribute to inland Deodeca's moderated climate and provide water resources for humans and the environment.

====Kirek====
Kirek is one of the official languages of Kara. It is spoken in Kireks Len in the north of the country. Mutually intelligible with Karska and Vezhek, most linguists consider it to be a dialect of Karska. The most substantial differentiator of Kirek is its writing system; traditional Kirek writing uses a different character set than Karska, although a Latinic transcription is becoming increasing common among native speakers as well.
 
====Vezhek====
Vezhek is one of Kara's official languages, and it is spoken in Vezheks Stot in the northwest portion of the country. It is mutually intelligible with both Karska and Kirek, and most linguists consider it a dialect of Karska for this reason. While it does use the same character set as Karska, Vezhek attaches different sounds to some letters and diacritic marks.
 
====Thilshullian====
Thilshullian is a Gaermanic language spoken in Thilshull State in eastern Kara that is recognized as an official language of the country. It is most closely related to mainstream Ingerish, although some Karska and Reunthan terms have entered the vernacular. It is often used alongside Ingerish in Thilshull State, with Thilshullian spelling and grammar conventions being used in slang and informal contexts and "proper" Ingerish conventions used in formal settings and with non-Thilshullians.
 
Karska is the most widely spoken language in Kara and is the native language of most of the country's residents. Vezhek and Kirek, spoken in the northern portion of the country, are generally considered to be dialects of Karska as they are mutually intelligible with each other and Karska. The writing systems of the three (when using the Latinic character set for Kirek) are also mutually readable. Nonetheless, the Karska government does recognize the three as separate languages, thus ensuring that each language is taught and used in society.
 
==== Reunthan ====
 
 
Reunthan is a Gaermanic language that is one of the official languages of Kara and is widely used in the northwestern regions of the country. Most linguists agree that the language is most closely related to Karska; however, over time Reunthan has incorporated elements of other languages, particularly Thilshullian and Ingerish. It is not mutually intelligible with Karska, but studies have shown that native Reunthan speakers have a significant advantage in learning Karska, and vice versa.
 
===== Alphabet =====
Reunthan uses the Latinic alphabet with a few additions. A phonetic language, each letter in Reunthan makes only one sound, and each sound is represented by exactly one letter. Letters with carons (Ňň, Řř, X̌x̌, Žž, and Ǯǯ) are considered distinct from their caron-less counterparts (Nn, Rr, Xx, Zz, and Ʒʒ, respectively) and make distinct sounds. The same is true for Öö and Øø, which are considered distinct from Oo. Accents on vowels (Áá, Ǽǽ, Éé, Íí, Óó, Ö́ö́, Ǿǿ, Œ́œ́, Úú, Ýý) are used to indicate emphasis placement in multi-syllable words and do not change the sound made by each letter.

Kara, officially known as the United Republic of Kara (Karska: Fjörnåde Repúblikke Kåra; Reuntha: Ánure Řepúblix̌ Kǿre; Vezhek: Vorencka Republika Kyorja; Kirek: ᛃᚠᛖᚱᚾᛟᛞ ᚱᛖᛈᛖᛈᛚᛁᚲᚨ ᚲᛟᚱᚨ; Thilshullian: Gemǣnsumod Rīcuþēod Cǣra) is a country in East Uletha. It shares a border with Älved, Boscunis, Glaster, and UL22c.

The United Republic of Kara was established in 1934 with the signing of the Union Treaty of Kara, which united the independent states of Karskat, Thilshull, Reuntha, and Vezhekja under a federal democratic republic. The Republic of Kirek joined the union in 1952.

Initially a 4-state (5 after Kirek joined) federal union with a very weak federal government, each state remained relatively distinct culturally and linguistically. However, increased cultural mixing and growing demands for federal infrastructure and social programs led to the drafting of the United Kara Amendment of 1978, which passed with strong support from voters of all regions. The amendment, which took effect on 1 January 1979, created a new constitution that replaced the Union Treaty as the law of the land, replacing the initial 5-member national council that ruled with the current system of a national president, 300-member legislature, and a much less powerful national council. It also abolished the 5-state system, replacing it with the current 16-state federal system.


Geography and Climate

Kara has a mixed temperate climate. The southern coast and Tebbjet River valley are particularly temperate, while the northern states are characterized by an alpine mountain climate.

Kirek

Kirek is one of the official languages of Kara. It is spoken in Kireks Len in the north of the country. Mutually intelligible with Karska and Vezhek, most linguists consider it to be a dialect of Karska. The most substantial differentiator of Kirek is its writing system; traditional Kirek writing uses a different character set than Karska, although a Latinic transcription is becoming increasing common among native speakers as well.

Vezhek

Vezhek is one of Kara's official languages, and it is spoken in Vezheks Stot in the northwest portion of the country. It is mutually intelligible with both Karska and Kirek, and most linguists consider it a dialect of Karska for this reason. While it does use the same character set as Karska, Vezhek attaches different sounds to some letters and diacritic marks.

Thilshullian

Thilshullian is a Gaermanic language spoken in Thilshull State in eastern Kara that is recognized as an official language of the country. It is most closely related to mainstream Ingerish, although some Karska and Reunthan terms have entered the vernacular. It is often used alongside Ingerish in Thilshull State, with Thilshullian spelling and grammar conventions being used in slang and informal contexts and "proper" Ingerish conventions used in formal settings and with non-Thilshullians.

Karska is the most widely spoken language in Kara and is the native language of most of the country's residents. Vezhek and Kirek, spoken in the northern portion of the country, are generally considered to be dialects of Karska as they are mutually intelligible with each other and Karska. The writing systems of the three (when using the Latinic character set for Kirek) are also mutually readable. Nonetheless, the Karska government does recognize the three as separate languages, thus ensuring that each language is taught and used in society.

Reunthan

Reunthan is a Gaermanic language that is one of the official languages of Kara and is widely used in the northwestern regions of the country. Most linguists agree that the language is most closely related to Karska; however, over time Reunthan has incorporated elements of other languages, particularly Thilshullian and Ingerish. It is not mutually intelligible with Karska, but studies have shown that native Reunthan speakers have a significant advantage in learning Karska, and vice versa.

Alphabet

Reunthan uses the Latinic alphabet with a few additions. A phonetic language, each letter in Reunthan makes only one sound, and each sound is represented by exactly one letter. Letters with carons (Ňň, Řř, X̌x̌, Žž, and Ǯǯ) are considered distinct from their caron-less counterparts (Nn, Rr, Xx, Zz, and Ʒʒ, respectively) and make distinct sounds. The same is true for Öö and Øø, which are considered distinct from Oo. Accents on vowels (Áá, Ǽǽ, Éé, Íí, Óó, Ö́ö́, Ǿǿ, Œ́œ́, Úú, Ýý) are used to indicate emphasis placement in multi-syllable words and do not change the sound made by each letter.
