Sudhoshos (East Legim: Súđošos [sjuˈðo.ɕos]), officially the Confederation of Sudhoshos, is a country located in southern Alpa. it borders Nordjaelm to the west and Sanmra to the east.
Etymology
Sudhoshos comes from East Legim Súđ, meaning "South" and Ošos, meaning "Alpa". The name was chosen to avoid showing any bias towards any one republic.
History
Please note that this section is heavily WIP and is subject to change at a moment's notice. In 1347, the region was conquered by the Empire of Nordjaelm. The Legim language was spread to the region through this. Large bands of Hladmor refugees migrated to southern and coastal Tsaba during a period of civil unrest in 1385. They established a despotism and enslaved nearly all of the humans present in the area. In 1534 the Hladmor despotism was overthrown.
Geography
The Spine mountains run north to south through the middle of the country. They are relatively short; they average to approximately ~1400 meters in height; the tallest mountain is 1999 meters high. Fertile river valleys line the country along its eastern and western borders. Lake Tsaba is a massive reservoir in central Tsaba.
Geology
The Spine mountains are a relatively low-elevation mountain range. They date back to over 300 million years old. The Tsaba Hills are a very small range in the west of the country. Their origin is currently unknown and is the topic of much research. There are alluvial plains around Nakapolyo is a volcanic island chain formed from a convergent boundary to the south.
Climate
The inland half of the country is mostly subarctic (Köppen climate type Dfc) while the south is (Köppen type Dfb). Nakapolyo is significantly warmer than the rest of the country, mostly classified as Dfa. The peaks of the Spine are a tundra climate (ET).
Biodiversity
Sudhoshos is home to a large polar and grizzly bears, arctic foxes, reindeer, geese, grey wolves, seals, eagles and several birds. The islands of Nakapolyo have been named as an important habitat for the global bird population. Wild rice, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, currants and apples grow in abundance, while kiwis and hazelnuts were introduced during the reign of New Hladmor. There have been numerous attempts to introduce cinnamon. There is an invasive population of snow leopards introduced by a past Nordjaelm Emperor. The ocean around Sudhoshos hosts various species of salmon, crabs, whales and dolphins, as well as small fish and crustaceans.
