Cadaro

Cadaro (Cadaran: Suraski-Latoema Çadaro), formally the Federation of Cadaran Principalities, is a sovereign state comprising the Cadaran continent. It is situated southeast of Greater Ubisa in the southwestern part of the Blue Ocean. It has two direct neighbors: Cadaran-speaking Asin-Cadaran and Datahegian-speaking Iunxa. Cadaro is completely surrounded by water and has no land borders with other countries.

Cadaro is part of the distinct geographical and cultural Cadaro region, that consists of Asin-Cadaran, Iunxa and Cadaro itself. Although Cadaro was settled relatively late by humans, the area quickly became an hotbed of civilizations. For hundreds of years, the region was characterized by a patchwork of small principalities that were quite isolated from the rest of the world. A distinct and unique society emerged. These principalities were slowly but surely integrated in the Cadaran Empire, a federation led by a council of the respective princes of its constituent principalities.

During the rise of egalitarianism Ubisan forces fought a proxy war in northeast Cadaro, trying to get a foothold in the region and secure total control of the Blue Ocean. Like the conquest of Thuania, this largely failed due to the difficulties that the Ubisan army experienced when trying to invade an isolated island region. The northwestern islands of Cadaro were conquered and became the egalitarian state of Asin-Cadaro.

In recent years, the Datahegian minority of southern Cadaro were granted their own sovereign state, Iunxa.

Cadaro was one of the most developed and democratic countries of Harvia before Terran contact. It remains one of the forerunners of Harvian civilization and it plays a leading role in regional politics.
