Kitaa

Kitaa is a fictional archipelago used as a setting in contemporary novels, video games, and tabletop role-playing campaigns. It is described as located in the northern seas off the coast of the continent of Noraga. The name Kitaa is said to originate from an ancient Noragan word meaning 'shore of winds.'

Geography and governance: The archipelago comprises five main islands and numerous islets connected by ferries and shallow channels. The climate is temperate maritime; fishing and seaborne trade shape daily life. The capital is the city of Lomar on the central island. In most works, Kitaa is depicted as a unitary parliamentary republic with a directly elected legislature and an executive council; some adaptations present a constitutional monarchy.

History: Settlement dates back to early medieval times; a distinctive maritime culture developed; it maintained trade ties with neighboring regions; independence was achieved in various stories; the modern arrangement usually describes a stable democratic state.

Economy and culture: Main industries include sustainable fisheries, shipbuilding, and renewable energy projects such as wind and tidal power. Cultural life emphasizes seafaring craft, festivals, and oral storytelling; Kitaa is the official language; minority dialects appear in inland communities.

In fiction, Kitaa's depiction varies by author; common motifs include frontier towns, archipelago logistics, and conflicts between coastal clans and central authorities.
