Årania, also known as Aarania or Arania is a region in the Thorildsby Project. It borders Thorildhøj in the north and Høvemark in the south. It has two cities: Åranvik and Lyvan, with Åranvik being the biggest city of Årania and also the capitol.
Its national colour is deep Orange, and its national flower is the Åranian Edelweiss, also depicted on the banner and flag of Årania.
Transport
Before trains existed, people were hiking across Åranvik, no matter how long the journey was. As Årania is a very religious country, lots of temples were built along the hiking trail between Åranvik and Lyvan. They can still be prayed in and seen today. Recently, a rail connection was established between Åranvik and Lyvan, the RS1
Culture
- Cuisine
Åranians eat lots of thick soup called Gry, which is very popular in Lyvan, such as Fiskegry or Sorgry. Gry is eaten more commonly in rural reagions and Lyvan and not as often in Åranvik.
Their cuisine is also very famous for its small pumpkin custard pastry - Paastje. It is very popular in urban regions as Åranvik or Lyvan. Sweet rolls called Sødsnegl are also popular in the same urban bakeries.
- Holidays
A famous holiday in Årania is the Paradisdag. It celebrates the independence fighters in the War for Årania. Participants take an orange flag or banner and orange wish paper and let it go at night.
Economy
Before -48Ð, the economy of Årania was falling apart, as during the partial occupation of Årania by Lanborg, all leftovers of any industry were forced to be sent to Lanborg and had no chance to develop. After the war, Årania gained a massive forced donation by Lanborg as a reperation the the damage done during the war. Using the money, Årania became the fastest developing region at the time. The economy was aided even more, when the Commonwealth demanded that Lanborg donated even more money as reparations. That money was not focused on the economy, but rather on medicine and education.
Agriculture
Agriculture is by far the largest field of industry in Årania. Because of its warm summers, large amounts of sun days and abundance of drinking water, it is one of the best places to grow crops. The land on the interior of the country is drier than on the river deltas and bays, so it usually not farmed in the interior of the country. Additionally, the soil on the bays and deltas is much richer. Årania is such a big exporter of crops, that the neighbouring region Thorildhøj relies on Årania to export a portion of their crops to them. The industry produces 250% of what Årania can consume.
Shipbuilding
Årania is the biggest builder of ships in the northern Commonwealth. AVII has their biggest boat factory in Åranvik, which was historically an important place of sea trade. The shipbuilding industry is rapidly decreasing however, as demand gets lower each year. Some reasons for that might be that wars are very unlikely to happen due to the Commonwealth and other countries don't need military sea vehicles anymore. Also, the quality of the boats is the best in the Commonwealth, so the boats will be used for many decades of Ð; the places that needed boats already recieved them and will only need to replace them in the far future.
Tourism
Årania is a perfect destination for tourists looking to see unique architecture, great food, wonderful culture and sunny beaches. Most tourists visit the capitol, Åranvik by train. The tourism sector in Årania is an industry that rises very slowly, making up about 18% of the economy.
Others
Other important industry sectors include financial services, fishing and forestry.
Languages
There are two very similar languages spoken in Årania, that being Åranian and Thorildsk. Both of them are mutually intelligible. Åranian is used everywhere, however a small Thorildhøjan minority exists, which prefers Thorildsk. Åranian as the main language, is forced to be taught in schools. However, after the scholars are confident in their language skills, they can replace half of their Åranian lessons with Thorildsk lessons. This acceptance of Thorildhøjan culture has been introduced by the minority party during the introduction of the Commonwealth.
