'''Lokania''' is a country in [[Arcturia]] that borders [[Louzaria]] ([[MBE|UK]]), [[Assowolf]] and oversea territory of [[Nation/Kaeliv|Kaeliv]]. It has a population of 74.2 million in 2019. Its capital city, Efraford, is where over 3.8 million people live. Lokania has a total area of 292,540 km² (112,950.33 sq mi).

Before their involvement in the the [[Auroran Imperial War]], the Lokanian people had agreed that, if they helped the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]], they would be granted independence at the end of the war. The rights to independence split the Overseas Territory in half. The north-west, more indigenous people had wanted independence since they were taken over in the early 17th century but the south-eastern provinces wanted to remain for the benefits the Empire would give. A special agreement in 1975, after the end of the war, saw the north-west provinces form to become a sovereign state of Lokania, whilst the south-east provinces kept the old name of the colony, Louzaria, remaining as an Overseas Territory. The relationships between the country and colony has remained in good condition.

==Geography==

The eastern regions of Lokania that border Louzaria are generally inhospitable as a result of both high altitude and extreme weather cycles. These areas are where the Louzarian Rocky Mountains enter Lokania and are known as the Lokanian Rockies. What is different from the Louzarian counterpart is that there are massive bodies of water between the foothills of the mountains. The Five Lokanian Lakes have a total surface area of 5306.8 km² (2049 sq mi), larger than the [[Aurora|Auroran]] island of [[Eskomia|Eskome]] by 2.5 km². Silver fir, red cedar and scots and stone pine trees inhabit the mountains and their low lands.

In central and south western Lokania there is dominantly deciduous forests consisting of oak trees on mostly flat or hill lands. In these forests, there are little to no shrubs to make up the shrub layer. Instead, it is mostly grass. Nearer to rivers and bodies of water are a broader range of flora including sego lily and lavender.
