Ina'ban

One of the Seven Nations, an island nation in the midst of the Rakloro Sea in Rakia.

Geography

Surroundings & Relationships

As an island nation, Ina'ban is surrounded by water and did not have any land borders with other nations until the acquisition of Braq to the south. Now the region immediately surrounding Braq borders its former nation Alghavor and the strait Jalut Channel, which leads to the greater Jalut Sea region.
As for the other five of the Seven Nations: Omis lies southwest, Iglonnia west, Hatine northwest, Nysyb northeast, and Kalitbel east.

Regions and Communities

The island heartland of Ina'ban was known under Nysybian rule as Khidrov, a Nysybian adaptation of an older name, Hiadara. Since gaining independence, Ina'bani people prefer to distance themselves from Nysybian connotations by referring to the island simply as Ina'ban when context will make their meaning clear. Sometimes, however, they need to distinguish the island from its nation and its capital city. In such cases, calling it Hiadara is deemed acceptable.
The region immediately surrounding Braq is known as Braqady.

Big Cities

The capital city of Ina'ban, on the island of Hiadara, is technically named Crownport since gaining independence. However, it's such an important piece of national identity that it is sometimes called Ina'ban or Ina'ban City.
Braq is an ancient city, ruled for many centuries by sphinx who wished to extend East Rakia-Jaw's territory westward into humanoid-claimed lands. It still has a rich sphinx motif in its architecture, and a politically dormant monstrous presence.
