Lhavres (IPA: /lɑvɹes/, Kavrinian: Lhavrëšnhë, IPA: /ʟɑvrəʃŋə/), officially the Federal Republic of Lhavres, is a country located in Upper Boroso, occupying much of the continent's geographic northwest region. It neighbors Dhwer and Vaamek to its east, and Mekaneli to its south. The nation is multispecies in makeup and was built on the systems and ideals set in place by the native avian Kavrinhäk peoples, who founded the state of Kavrinia back in 227 CE. Due to human migration and integration however, the population is 47% human and 41% Kavrinh, with the remaining 12% being made up of other species from around Sahar (the largest of these minority populations being Fals and Astalvi). The nation is known for having several popular tourist destinations found throughout the entire country.

Etymology

The native name, Lhavrëšnhë, which becomes Lhavres in anglicization for convenience, comes from Kavrinian and means "land of Lhavs". The Lhavs were a Konaaczinh tribe that formed an ancient empire in what is now western Lhavres, known as the Lhav Empire. The empire fell sometime around 50 CE but the region became united again less than two centuries later by the Lhavs's sister tribe, the Kavs (whose name gave us the current common name for the Kavrinhäk), who brought all known inhabited lands in the region under one banner through charisma and promises of prosperity. After annexation of Setyalmi in 1844, the nation chose "Lhavrëšnhë" "land of Lhavs" as its name.

Geography

The nation's geography is diverse, featuring vast rainforests, wetlands, savannas, steppes, and desert.

Demographics

Population centers

An interesting thing to note is that Lhavres's four largest cities, all ahead of the national capital in population and size, were all founded several thousands of years ago and historically used as capitals for various massive and influential polities: Yaageqyë was the capital of Ramekia, Konaacza was the capital of Kavrinia, Czuczlhayaa was the capital of the Czucz Empire, and Ǧuun was the capital of the Setyal Empire.
