Ankoria

Ankoria is a fictional country situated on the continent of Eldoria. Its geography is characterized by a rugged northern mountain range, the Dragon's Teeth, which forms a natural border with its northern neighbors. To the south, the land transitions into fertile plains watered by the great Azure River, a vital artery for agriculture and trade. The capital city, Veritas, is located on the Azure River's delta, a bustling port and the nation's economic hub. Ankoria's climate varies significantly, with harsh winters in the mountains and temperate summers in the plains.

Historically, Ankoria has seen periods of both isolation and extensive trade. Its early inhabitants were nomadic tribes who eventually settled in the river valleys, developing a sophisticated agricultural society. The nation has been shaped by various ruling dynasties, with the current lineage, the House of Solara, having reigned for the past two centuries. Ankoria's culture is rich in folklore and traditions, with a strong emphasis on community and respect for elders. Art forms such as intricate tapestry weaving and melodic folk music are prominent.

Economically, Ankoria relies heavily on its agricultural output, particularly grains and specialized herbs grown in the southern plains. The country also possesses significant mineral deposits in the Dragon's Teeth, though extraction is challenging due to the terrain. Trade is facilitated through Veritas, with goods exchanged across Eldoria. The government is a constitutional monarchy, with a council of elected representatives advising the monarch. Ankoria maintains a policy of neutrality in continental affairs, prioritizing internal development and regional stability.
