South Chasteam

is the most populated country in Kana with well over 600 million Kas. The Topography and climate is varied with mountains to the far North, the Kolskopp Desert in the middle regions and lush grasslands to the South. The steppes of the Risit Mountains are sparsely populated due to the arid land and high altitudes.

Generally, the South Chasteamese climate is generally temperate, much like the United States or China. The South Chasteamese have been historic foes of the North Chasteamese people, mostly due to religious conflict.

The country’s main religion is Yppelak. Followers of the religion often wear long earrings fashioned from beads and feathers (which is also common in other religions) and long black robes. Yppelak’s extremist denomination (Junig Yppelak) has caused some concern for neighboring countries, as some villages and towns have been raided and claimed by the faction. The Yppelaktson province has become a turbulent area that is often concern of the international community. Junig people have threatened to take the country’s central space elevator in hopes of traded with pirates and Embasa megacorporations looking for cheap products. The current Junig leader is Gajinko Junig-Tishen, who is a war veteran of the South Chasteamese army that converted to Junig and started leading small cargo thefts. His son Gajinko-tav Junig-Tishen is currently a wanted raider

The capital city is Karonish, is home to 15 million. The city is a major shipping hub and is well-known for its malls and gigantic marketplaces. Due to the location of Karonish, many canals are inhabited by long boats in order to transport goods and citizens. The world famous canal marketplaces draw in millions of people per year and have led way to the municipality of Karonish to assemble 2 space elevators for cargo. The Carver Space Industries Galactic Export Center (CSIGEC) exports billions of products per year, leading to terrible space traffic. Hurst solved the issue with its 5km long Hurst Interplanetary Supercarrier, assembled with drone technology in 6 months.

Because of the highly varied climate of South Chasteam, many natural disasters are known to occur here, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, dust storms, floods, etc. Most coastal cities are built with canals for transportation, making them extremely prone to flooding. In recent years, anti-flood measures were put in place in the form of closing gates at canal openings, as well as the Karonishhaal docks, which are located in a lake about 1km from the coastal canal opening.

Karonishhaal is the main dock for smaller ships, generally under 83.3 meters. The lake is the opening for many canals that lead to markets, and these canals usually remain open for emergency services during hurricanes. The Haal is a popular place to visit with many local markets, boat tours, and waterfront restaurants.
