Dina (English: [diːnə], Dina: diina diina [diːna]), is a country located in southern Alpa, bordering the Dragon Sea to the south, Sanmra to the east, and Tsaba to the west. Dina is the smallest nation on Alpa, with the smallest population, excluding Thkelpenhurn. Inside Dina's borders is the breakaway state of Jahcitazin, a land made up of people closely related to Nordjaelm.

Etymology

The name "Dina" originates as an anglicised version of its native name, "diina". This is a softening of the word "tirina", meaning Tirina in Tirina.

Politics

Foreign relations

Alpa

Throughout history, Dina has been open to immigration and trade with its Alpan neighbours, however, after opening up to the international stage, its relations have become more selective with its partners. In Alpa, Dina has cut off ties and governmental recognition of Tsaba, due to angst towards Tsabi people in Dina's independence movement. Once Dina gained independence, ties with Nordjaelm were also cut, however, interactions between the two have been increasing, with a Dina embassy opening up in Kjonnia.

Cuisine

Alcohol

The most common alcohol consumed within Dina is wine, with cuuba being the most produced and most consumed. Ciders, both local and imported from Sanmra, are also consumed, however to a much lesser extent. Outside of beverages, alcohol is used in very little Dina cuisine. However, a notable example of where it is used is in séniipa (Drunkard's cake) where cuuba and water are used in the mix.
