Caruia
Karuya, ኻሩያ, Predicean Iteria
Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Marinella in view from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele I
The Free Associated State of Caruia is a self-governing territory of Predice stretched along the northeastern coast of Iteria. It is one of the most environmentally diverse regions in the world. The land is bound in the south by Astragon and in the east by the Meterran Sea. Their capital. Marinella, is a modern planned city. It was originally built as a suburb of neighboring Baku, the largest of the nine historical Aydini Khanates.
The first Caanitic migrations brought in the early inhabitants of ancient Caruia. In 725 BCE, the ancient Iraelian city-state of Sharon was founded. In the 1st Century CE, Kaidainist adventurers founded the Kingdom of Bazen. It was followed by the rival Kingdom of Gideon, in the 2nd Century CE. The pre-Karuyans, a group of nomadic Oghuz people, arrived in the 5th Century. They built their first permanent settlement, Baku. Many sedentary pre-Karuyans, fearful of Astragonese raids, sought the protection of the wealthy Shaddaist rulers. In the 10th Century, the Astragonese Empire vassalized the conquered Kingdom of Sharon. Astragon took much of the kingdom's southern territories and reorganized them into the provinces of Aksum and Semien. The neighboring city-states and petty kingdoms became Astragonese tributaries. Local leaders intermarried with Astragonese nobles and merchants from Shaivan and Syrixia. This popularized conversions to Mehrabism, Shaddaism, and Rakanism. In the 16th Century, the Grand Sultanate of Aydin launched a series of invasions in Iteria. They annexed the Astragonese tributaries and provinces in Caruia. Shaddan II reconquered their lost territories in Caruia until these were finally lost to the Predicean-sponsored Caruiano Revolutionary War of 1846-1848.
Much of Caruia's climate is tropical. The majority of the population and largest cities, including the capital Marinella and the commercial and cultural center Baku, are situated in the flat, coastal plains extending east from the coastline to the Catena Madre mountains. The people in the rural, interior highlands either cultivate coffee, cotton, and corn or mine for bismuth, silver, and copper. The outlying areas in-between the urban centers are dominated by large livestock haciendas. Nearer to the coast, the fishing industry mainly harvests anchovy.
Caruianos have an intermingled Predicean, Astragonese, and Karuyan culture. The people became largely meticcio, a blend of Ubgandi-Canaatic and Karuyan bloodlines. The society developed with the Predice-owned manufacturing plants and military bases, the Aydini mercantile oligarchy, and the Astragonese landed aristocracy that monopolized rural economies and politics. Democratization in the Predicean reforms transformed the feudal structure of former Astragonese Caruia to a parliamentary federation of duchies ruled by each of the great Astragonese houses. The continued permanent union with Predice has been controversial, but it has been continuously approved by referenda voters. However, there is no consensus supporting unification with Predice. The nationalist movement is small and has fringe support.
