{{Cc-ogf-map}}
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.
[[Category:Suggestion drafts]]
 
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'')}}

===Administrative Divisions===
{{Infobox admin div|name=Kara|first-level=state (''län'')|second-level=municipality (''kommun'')}}
 
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.

====Karska====
Karska (''Kårska'') is a Gaermanic language that is the lingua franca of Kara. It is the most widely spoken language in the nation. It uses a 26-letter Latinic alphabet.

=====Accent Marks=====
In Karska, the first syllable of a word is always emphasized, except when otherwise marked with an accent on the vowel of the syllable to be emphasized. Áá, Íí, and Úú are prononced the same as their "core" letters (Aa, Ii, and Uu, respectively), while Éé and Óó are pronounced as Ää and Öö, respectively.

====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.
