The Holy Empire of Quanzar, formerly Istalia, is a nation that lies on the south-eastern top of the Majatran continent, bordering with the Solentia on the west, surrounded by the Sea of Lost Souls on the north and by the Perarctic Ocean on the south. The nation consists of 5 regions, called provinces, of which three are located on the peninsular part of the country, and the other two lie on an east island (called Alaria) of the peninsula. The people of Quanzar are known by the demonym Quanzaran or Quanzari.

[edit] History
[edit] Government
Quanzar is politically divided between the pro-Monarchists and the anti-Monarchists. The former group is represented by a coalition of three parties, the Order of the Golden Crown, the Rhodesian Front, and the Hessexian Royalists; it believes in the preservation of the monarchy under the House of Hessex and of the English cultural and political hegemony. The latter group is represented by the various Italian parties: Coalizione per l'Istalia, Salva l' Istalia, and Partito Istaliano d'Azione; they are opposed to the rule of the the House of Hessex and wish to reinstate Italian domination over the country.
[edit] Foreign Affairs
The nation of Quanzar is a member of the Axis Alliance. A member of Majatran common market, it supports cooperation with others Majatran nations.

[edit] Geography
Quanzar is divided into two natural regions: the mainland, comprised of Therak, Pheykran, and Ingris, and the island, comprised of Kisuwali and Nicoma. The island is historically known as Alaria.
The north of Therak is covered by the Nayar Range, a chain of mountains that encircles the North, forming a natural border. Southern Therak is a pleasant, rich plain watered by the rivers that flow forth from the Nayar mountains throughout the year. Much of southern Therak is forested, and in the west there are several large lakes. It is similar, in fact, to northern Pheykran. However, as one moves south through Pheykran, the lush plain becomes more arid, until one reaches southern Pheykran proper, which is inhospitable save several oases and the rivers from the north. Ingris is almost entirely semi-arid plain and desert, although the dry earth rises into a plateau in the far south. Along the coasts of Pheykran and Ingris, some marginal agriculture and small towns are supported by seasonal streams originating from the 'Akhayl Range, a chain of mountains that follows the coast from the western border of Pheykran, terminating in the plateau at far southern Ingris.
Southern Nicoma is a fertile plain that becomes more rugged and hilly as one moves north. In Kisuwali, these hills become mountains, the Arasclari Range, that encircle the region along the coasts. Central Kisuwali is a heavily forested and uneven plateau.
[edit] Climate
The Quanzaran peninsula, on the far south of Terra, has a temperate climate, the result of the Aldunt stream, an oceanic current that passes from the South Ocean to the Sea of Lost Souls. The southern mainland is cool but devoid of rain for most of the year. The plain of southern Therak is an ideally even climate that receives a moderate amount of rain. The north is very wet in the Winter and Spring, having some of Majatra's highest rainfall levels, but it becomes mild in the Summer and Fall; the far north is snowy from November through April
