Toaona

General Information
Toaona is Antetand’s northwest neighbor and a historic rival. Toaona itself is a more modern nation created out of the various law regions that used to exist within the country’s modern borders. It has a cooler climate with mild summer and frigid winters as the Seaholm mountains block most of the warmer air coming from the Pfalzic Ocean. Most of Toaona is sparsely populated with 85% of the population living in the major cities along the northern coast. While their conflicts with Antetand are more recent there have been several historic attempts by various Kings and Emperors to invade the Tand Region with little success. Toaona never participated in colonizing Aetia and instead focused on colonies within the neighboring Laws. Toaona has stellar relations with Lyradur and though the original reason for this friendship is lost to time, one would be hard pressed to find a Toaonese or Lyran who didn’t view the other as a friend and ally.

Analogs
For analogs, Toaona is best compared to Austria and Denmark. Culturally speaking Toaona is very similar to Antetand and the general Toaonese and Tandi cultures are nearly identical but much like Germany and Austria, while similar both are distinct. They have a historic rivalry akin to the rivalry of Britain and France (prior to WW1) and view almost any opportunity as change to one up the other. However, they are similar to Portugal that they remained a rather stable and consistent state in the storm that is politics in Rumia. Geographically, Tonaona looks a lot

like Scandinavia.
