Hearthrune

Hearthrune, officially the Imperial Dominion of Hearthrune ( Caliantene: Domaine Impérialis d'Hearthrune) is a nation in Korasha with a population of 15 million. It is bordered to the north by Khudar, to the northeast by [The Spice Coast]], and to the southeast by Ossam. The national capital is Algogille, and the most populous city and financial center is Luminaire.

Hearthrune became a colony within the Caliantene empire in 1457, under the name Alluehearthe Frontière. Hearthrune became a Caliantene dominion in 1865, 7 years after the signing of the Edict of Calise. The name Hearthrune was chosen upon dominion status. Today, approximately 23 percent of Hearthrune's 15 million population are of native descent. Caliantene immigrants compose 51 percent of the population. Despite this, Hearthrae paganism remains prominent among the population and Caliantene customs have largely merged with native Hearthrunean customs.

Hearthrune ranks highly compared to other nations in quality of life and labour rights. The nation is most known for widespread and efficient public transit. Nationally, legislative authority is vested in a elected, unicameral legislative body known as the [High Chapter]]. Executive authority is exercised by the President of the Chapter, who is elected by the High Chapter.

Hearthrune is divided into 18 provinces, listed from largest to smallest: Duvolle, Maelta, Charmeroute, Villergne, Bretonnais, Rivierdie, Altnacht, Abovorne, Valmen, Valleia, Evevonce, Condest-Est, Condes Ouest, Marin, Belleros, Horifall, Calladon, and Servatone.
