Kznia
rarely referred to as a tsardom, kznia is considered an older and well-settled-in nation comprised mostly of farming, wetland farming (rice paddies, cranberries, etc), logging, and -- most importantly, trade. it is the middleman between western moufeirin and eastern joligry, and farther east are the rest of the archipelago’s countries. it’s possible to sail around kznia from moufeirin to exadnakia (southern route) or to frederten (northern route), but it makes it a hell of a lot harder and riskier. kznia has high trade taxes but a generous border/customs permission, so most established mercantile lines still go through it. the main trade routes are particularly well-protected by kznian patrol, so bandits and crime are unusually low in those parts of the tsardom.
kznia native colors: copper skin, dark eyes, black hair (thick, sometimes curly)
