The Democratic Republic of Kostromastan, commonly known as Kostromastan, is a landlocked nation that exists on the continent Aurora that borders Baykalia and Xiopothos to the north, Tuvaltastan to the south, Ethalria to the west, and Cathalrus to the northwest. Kostromastan exists between the latitudes 28 S and 40 S, and between the longitudes 120 E and 140 E. The nation, with a Nominal GDP per capita of $4,427.28, has an estimated population of 20,003,248. The largest city and capital Novgorod holds 12,768,513 individuals.

The History of Kostromastan is greatly intertwined with its neighbors Baykalia and Tuvaltastan, and goes back as far as 1,700 B.C.E., beginning with the Ancient Kostuvians and their immense empire that encompassed central Aurora and a number of small islands north and south of the continent, as well as part of what is now modern-day Dragonia. The Kostuvian Empire existed for 1,032 years, and was succeeded by Kostuvastan in 12 A.D. Kostuvastan existed for 1,973 years until the three major culture groups (Baykalians, Tuvalts, and Kostros) began the Kostuvastan Civil War. The three culture groups, after the Civil War, founded the three nations Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia. To this day, the three do not get along, and it is not uncommon for there to be violent and typically bloody border skirmishes amongst the three.

Measuring Systems

Length

The base unit of length is the meter, which is defined as the length light travels in 1/299792458 instants (see Time).

1 Meter = 100 Centimeters

1 Centimeter = 100 Millimeters

100 Meters = 1 Kilometer

100 Kilometers = 1 Terameter

100 Terameters = 1 Exameter

Area

The base unit of area is the rotor, which is equal to 1 meter squared.

1 Rotor = 100 Centirotors

1 Centirotor = 100 Millirotors

100 Rotors = 1 Kilorotor

100 Kilorotors = 1 Terarotor

100 Terarotors = 1 Exarotor

Volume

Liquid

The base unit of volume (Lq) is the liter, which is defined as four times the amount of liquid that can fit inside the Human stomach.

1 Liter = 100 Centiliters (Colloquial: Ounce)

1 Centiliter = 100 Milliliters

100 Liters = 1 Kiloliter

100 Kiloliters = 1 Teraliter

100 Teraliters = 1 Exaliter

Solid

The base unit of volume (Sd) is the maud, which is equal to one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density.

1 Maud = 100 Centimauds

1 Centimaud = 100 Millimauds

100 Mauds = 1 Kilomaud

100 Kilomauds = 1 Teramaud

100 Teramauds = 1 Examaud

Time

The base unit of time is the instant, which is defined by how long it takes light to travel 299,792,458 meters

10 Instants = 1 Second

6 Seconds = 1 Minute

10 Minutes = 1 Standard

6 Standards = 1 Hour

6 Hours = 1 Quarter

4 Quarters = 1 Day

6 Days = 1 Week

10 Weeks = 1 Month

6 Months = 1 Year

Geography

Kostromastan is the only landlocked nation on the continent of Aurora, and relies on Ethalria and Xiopothos for its access to water, due to embargoes set by Baykalia and Tuvaltastan. These embargoes are likely to be repealed in the near future, however.

Climate

Most of Kostromastan is engulfed in a desert. The only places where life can survive is along the Salov River, which runs through the entirety of Kostromastan. The only city that is not along the Salov is Tula, which is an experimental city to see if water can be captured from air, specifically desert air.
