Kaolaa

Kaolaa, officially the Kingdom of Kaolaa, is a country in the Eastern part of Kaotiika Island, West of Lyricia. It shares the island of Kaotiika with West Kaolaa, originally a breakaway state, as well as posessing several islands in the Kaotiika Strait. Its capital city is Kesuumi, with other major cities including Naakeke and Gisaala. It has a land area of 167,490 square kilometres (64,668 sq mi), with largely flat terrain consisting of marshlands in the Southern peninsula and low, rolling hills in the North.

Originally settled in antiquity by a seafaring people (yeah idk which one yet), and for much of its history maintaining an isolationist status, Kaolaa maintains a distinct culture compared to its neighbours, with its sole official language of Gaalaa being shared only by West Kaolaa. Historically, Kaolaa is famous for its early adoption of steam power for agricultural and transport use, which was responsible for the country's quick recovery and strong regional influence following the Great Plague, and its extensive canal network.
