Korziña

Korziña, (formally known as the Dominion of Korziña) is the eastern region of the great Mencuan continent., It also has a small section of the continent of Tazuké, as well as a considerable-sized island right outside the Zélenesz Bay. Its vast landscape renders a diverse climate, from cooler temperatures up north to more tropical and humid climates on the eastern peninsula. Korziña is the most populous of the Five Nations, and while they have what is probably the simplest form of politics, they are still beaten by Krippa in terms of the least number of in-country issues that arise.

History
As with the other nations, Korziña's history dates back to the original creation. It has gone under numerous names throughout this lengthy history, although has been under the name Korziña since at least the 175th Age. The original inhabitants of the region were the Tenscimors, and although they still have a majority presence in Korziña today, it, like all of the other nations is full of diverse Serenghe, including Zaderei. In fact, it has the largest Zaderic population only behind Krippa.

In some old traditions, Korziña is associated with the element Earth, for despite the marshlands and grassy plains, the region has plenty of rocky terrain and several mountain ranges, even out on the islands near Senegal, Matavai Bay, and the Ningxia Archipelago. A few old cities, notably Fennia, feature green-colored themes to their buildings and even to the way many people dress, and it is famous for producing many Earthformers.

In the year 4610 of the 182nd Age, Krippa went to war with Koldia, and while Korziña did not get involved, it vowed to ally itself with Krippa should one of the other neutral nations ally with Koldia. However, no such thing happened, and thus Korziña stayed almost completely out of the war.

Climate
Korziña's large size unsurprisingly makes for a diverse climate. The western slopes of the Varszé Mountains cast a slight rain shadow in the surrounding region, giving it a desert climate, while the eastern slopes get abundant rain that gives the Dongua Peninsula a marshy climate in most places. the central gasslands and plains are on the hotter side due to their proximity to the equator, although the farther north these lands go, the more distinct the seasons become. The southerly reaches of the country, such as the lands on the Tazuké continent, are more tropical due to their coastlines and low latitudes.

Obviously in the mountains, a much colder climate is present, as would be expected from higher altitudes. snow usually caps Korziña's taller mountain ranges most of the year, but their proximity to the equator also renders them to be bare now and then.
