Linaviar, officially the Republic of Linaviar (Linavic: Taukatzal nú Linauyar, Linavic Pronunciation: [tɐʉˈkɑ.ʇ̃ɐl ˈnu lɪˈnaʊ.ʝɐr]) is an island nation in the Southern and Far Nova Seas of The Western Isles, bordered by Corindia to the North, Charbagnia to the West, and Aprosia to the East.

Linaviar is constituted of seven provinces and two autonomous territories covering an area of 190,551 km² and possesses a largely wet tropical (Af / Am) climate, with the more mountainous areas having subtropical highland (Cfb) and hot semi-arid (BSh) climes. Linaviar's 13 million inhabitants are fairly rural, with half of the population living in cities and the remaining living mostly in villages and towns. Suburban development is minimal, leading to most of the urban population living within cities proper.

Archaeological evidence puts the original habitation of Linaviar at C. 3200 BCE on the northern shores of Kenamali by Ipachi migrants, with later landings by other ethnic groups at the Narua peninsula, the Cape of Genai, Kàmǒtzqǎ, Vexat, and Visaya. Invasions by Khas-Kirati Hangates in the 900s CE, the formation and dissolution of the Keno-Madu Hangate, and the founding of the Linavian Empire have since led to periods of intense cultural and ethnic exchange.

Today, Linaviar is a Federal Semi-Presidential Constitutional Republic with a tricameral legislature. The economy is largely based off of the agricultural and fishing industries, with significant contributions from textile manufacturing and pharmaceuticals; income inequality is low and living standards are decent, but total economic output is notably hampered by strong environmental and labour laws.

Linaviar derives from the name Linavi, the spirit of the mountain of the same name, and the Nuva goddess of Vision, Aspiration, and Revelation. The -ar in the nation name comes from the poem Tanakaraqan from the Pre-Imperial Period, though the function that it exhibited at the time is unclear.

Early History

Original human habitation of Linaviar is dated to around 3200 BCE, when Ipachi migrants from what is now Ainslie made land near the mouth of the river Kafukan, north of modern-day Gåmŭ. These people, known as the Kotoran culture, were notable for their burial urns which were incised with hexagonal patterns. These urns carried seashells, stone or glass beads, and sundry other burial goods that hinted at complex overseas trading relations, and were used in secondary burial rites. Over the next few centuries the Kotorans expanded across the northern and western coasts of Kenamali and the outlying western islands, establishing a number of tribal kingdoms.

While historical evidence for the events is tenuous, Linavian mythos states that these kingdoms were eventually subjugated under the Kaloa dynasty, and that the kingdom would see a brief golden age under the reign of Ququlu Atamis before the corruption of his descendants, exacerbated by a rapid change in social consciousness and associated socio-political instability, would lead to the collapse of the kingdom and the end of the Kotoran culture in the Kenic period.
