Koranel

Coranelle (: Koranela) is a located in northeast Vidina composed of 6 administrative divisions and more than 20 million citizens. The nation is made up most prominently by the Coranellan Peninsula and the island of Kipøya, as well as Dronninger to the north. The nation is 279,537 km2 and is composed of more than 400 islands in total thanks to its rough western coasts. Its sole land border is with Riyude to its west, its border's foundation being the Quenniec Canal. The county also borders the Bay of Guasu to its south, the Qualluck Sea]] to the north, and the Shazabi Ocean to its east. Its capital is Bellard, and its 3 largest metropolitan areas are Domidy, Bellard and Ornes.

Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Coranelle for thousands of years. Beginning in the 17th century, Myrish, Eduran, and some Ordrish expeditions explored and later settled all along the coastline of the peninsula. As a consequence of various purchases and conflicts, both Edury and Ordrey would eventually cede their colonies to Gladomyr in 1798. In 1867, with the union of the six original Myrish colonies through Confederation, Coranelle was formed as a federal dominion of six provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the Kingdom of Gladomyr. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of and culminated in the Coranelle Act 1936, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament of Gladomyr.

Coranelle is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. The country's head of government is the prime minister—who holds office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the elected Chamber of Deputies—and is appointed by the governor general, representing the monarch, who serves as head of state. The country is a Commonwealth realm and is officially multilingual at the federal level. It ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic freedom, and education. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many other countries. Coranelle's long and complex relationship with Riyude has had a significant impact on its economy and culture.

A highly developed country, Coranelle has the 4th highest nominal per-capita income globally and is the highest ranking country in the Human Development Index at 0.960. Its advanced economy is among the highest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade networks. Coranelle is part of several major international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the World Forum, Vatupic Union, the World Commerce and Trade Organization, the Arctic Council, the Råd For Myrisktalende Nasjoner, and the Organization of Vidinan States.

Etymology
In the country's most popular Myrish tongue; Coranelle is entitled Koranela. The name for Coranelle has altered with time through many generations, however in its current state, the name for Coranelle derives from the Myrish House of Koranela which incorperated Queen Bælle I. Queen Bælle I would be the first of the Myrish royals to commission Myrish explorers and navigators to establish settler colonies on the peninsula of Coranelle under the flag of Gladomyr. Prior to Myrish expansion into the peninsula, it was known instead to the Alutrans as Østlandet, or "Eastland", for its geographic location in reference to the rest of Vatupaya and Vidina as a whole. In Ozakaw languages, the country was entitled, through various dialects, [homeland], meaning "Homeland" or "Our land". In Kipau - the country's third official language - the nation was simply known as Kipauka, meaning literally "People place" or "Place [where there are] people".

The first recording of the name Koranela was in the official commission document signed by Queen Bælle I approving the overseas colony. Though this was an official naming by the monarchy, the name Koranela took time to fully catch on in Gladomyr and Alutra as a whole. It was not until the 1790 Myrish famine and subsequent Myrish diaspora to the peninsula that the name caught the public's favor. Though the whole of the peninsula was entitled Coranelle, the separate colonies remained "independent" to a level until the country's confederation in 1800, and were therefore known by their individual names: Dronninger, Amnes, Langdal, Lecoz, Horndal, and Kipauland.

Following its 1800 confederation, the name for the country was officially recognized as the Dominion of Coranelle at the Conference of Dincuff. The Coranelle Act of 1982 brought the constitution of Coranelle fully under Coranellan control, referred to the country only as Coranelle. Later that year, the name was officially redesignated as the Dominion of Coranelle; however the name of the national holiday still transitioned from Dominion Day to Coranelle Day. The term Dominion is used to distinguish the federal government from the provinces as well as a commemorative name for the country's status under Myrish control.

Indigenous peoples
Indigenous peoples in modern-day Coranelle include the Ozakaw, the Kipau, and the Mitztuka; the Ozakaw being the most populous out of the three. The Mitztuka largely exists only in deep family heritage, as most Mitztuka either perished from Alutran diseases or intermarried with other people groups on the peninsula. A fourth people group—the Blanda—are a very specific ethnic group who trace their lineage back to both indigenous and Alutran heritage during the initial settlement of Coranelle who have formed their own identity and community.

The first inhabitants of Coranelle are generally regarded to have crossed the narrow isthmus into Coranelle from eastern Riyude. With regards to the rest of Vatupaya, Coranelle was one of the most recently inhabited landmasses on the subcontinent. The Paleo-Native Vidinans archeological sites in northern Amnes province are the oldest in Coranelle. The characteristics of Indigenous societies included permanent settlements, agriculture, complex societal hierarchies, and trading networks. Some of these cultures had collapsed by the time Alutran explorers arrived in the late 15th and early 16th centuries and have only been discovered through recent archeological investigations.

The Indigenous population at the time of the first Alutran settlements is estimated to have been between 20,000 and 30,000, with a figure of 25,000 accepted by Coranelle's Royal Communion of Indigenous Peoples. As a consequence of Alutran colonization, the Indigenous population declined by thirty to sixty percent, and the Mitztuka peoples were wiped out almost entirely. The decline is attributed to several causes, including the transfer of Alutran diseases, such as influenza, measles, and smallpox to which they had no natural immunity,conflicts over the fur trade, conflicts with the colonial authorities and settlers, and the loss of Indigenous lands to settlers and the subsequent collapse of several nations' self-sufficiency. Due to the Ozakaw and Kipau isolationist culture, these people groups were less influenced by the newfound strife, leading to their modern prominence in Coranellan culture.

Although not without conflict, Alutran Coranellans' early interactions with indigenous populations were relatively peaceful. Indigenous and Blanda peoples played a critical part in the development of Alutran colonies in Coranelle, particularly for their role in assisting Alutran voyageurs in their explorations of the continent during the Vidinan fur and lumber trade. The Crown and Indigenous peoples began interactions during the Alutran colonization period, though the Kipau, in general, had more limited interaction with Alutran settlers. However, from the late 18th century, Alutran Coranellans encouraged Indigenous peoples to assimilate into their own culture. These attempts reached a climax in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with forced integration and relocations following the Myrish diaspora to the country. These methods were largely ineffective, and when Coranelle was given independence from the Myrish parliament, these forced integration attempts were halted. In recent decades, the integration attempts attempted in the 19th and early 20th centuries have had major reversal projects by the government of Coranelle and the Council for Coranellan Indigenous Rights.

Alutran colonization
Though generally believed the Alutra was not the first easterners to discover the country and that explorers from Agarad had found the peninsula before, Alutrans had much more influence over the country as it stands today—Gladomyr being particularly prominent in the country's standing during its entire existence. Coranelle as it were was discovered in 1530 by Myrish navigator Gøran Holansen during his travels through the Kidal Sea and elsewhere along the eastern Vidinan coast. Holansen documented the peninsula's position located at the mouth of the Bay of Guasu and made a brief stop near present-day Thue, Kipauland. Another small, fleeting encampment was created on the southernmost tip of Kipauland again in 1531, though it is unknown from who this encampment was built by, only that it was eastern Alutran in origin. In 1554, Eduran explorer Jurren ter Weele explored the Bay of Guasu where, on June 16, he planted a 10-metre (33 ft) banner bearing the words "Long Live the King of Edury" and took possession of the territory Nieuw Godenhaven under Edury in modern-day Horndal. The 16th century saw Alutran mariners with navigational techniques pioneered by the Ordrish and Salians establish seasonal whaling and fishing outposts along the Shazabi coast. In general, early settlements during this age appear to have been short-lived due to a combination of the harsh climate, problems with navigating trade routes, and time taken to reach the peninsula.

In 1620, Myrish explorer Finian Lecoz asked the then-king of Gladomyr—King Berens III—to fund a settler expedition to Coranelle in order to establish a small village, with the promise that if the settlement were to last 15 years, a full-fledged colonization of Coranelle would be commenced by the crown of Coranelle. King Berens III would approve the expedition and funded the mission in-whole. After 12 months of travel, Lecoz and 50 other Myrs would arrive in Coranelle and establish the colony of Festningen in modern-day Horndal on the island of Halnes. Among other reasons, the island was picked for its temperature, plentiful soil, as well as the lack of indigenous peoples to interfere with the settlement. Though not without strife, the colony would indeed manage to survive the 15 year quota established by the king of Gladomyr, and thus the colonization was set to commence. Though it took two years for Lecoz to return to mainland Gladomyr due to weather and navigational issues, the new monarch of Gladomyr, Queen Bælle I, would agree to sign the commission to begin the colonization of the peninsula. All-in-all more than 27 ships were sent to Coranelle in order to establish six separate colonies across the landmass, including the small island of Dronninger separated from the rest of Coranelle in the north. Though only 26 ships would arrive in Coranelle—one being sunk in the Kidal Sea—the colonization of Coranelle would be a success. The colonies of Dronninger, Amnes, Lecoz, Langdal, Horndal, Bellard, and Kipauland were founded and settled in 1638, the very first ship landing on July 1.
