== History ==
The area that would become mainland Serramal was initially populated by a variety of lutryne Ābwhala tribes, while human migrants from elsewhere in Gondwana settled on the island of Marago. The area remained largely disunited until being incorporated into the [[Tretrid|Tretridian]] colony of [[Tretridian Southwest Gondwana|Southwest Gondwana]] during the eighteenth century. The use of the two human ethnic groups, the Sana and the Amara, in colonial bureaucracy led to increasing disparities between human and lutryne groups, and the area exploded into civil war almost immediately upon achieving independence after the Tretridian withdrawal in 1921. The resulting conflict would end in 1926 with the Ābwhala population largely pushed north, and sporadic conflicts would continue for decades, gradually limiting the lutrynes to the Bandu Hills.
The discovery of rich copper deposits by the Ellesborg Mining Cooperative in 1975 would lead to renewed civil conflict. Proposed plans for copper mines involved seizing Sana land and mining activities would have greatly damaged the riverways that they relied on. Thus, the Sana eventually allied with their former Ābwhala enemies against the Amara dominated government, which ultimately prevailed after a bloody war due to external funding and support from the EMC.
== Geography, Wildlife, and Climate ==
Serramal is located in Southwest Gondwana, with a humid continental climate. The country consists of a mainland territory which borders Ryza and Balnakia in the north, as well as the small island of Marago across the Serramal Strait, which is home to the capital of the same name. Much of the mainland is dominated by an extensive river network known as the Serramal Delta, which runs down from the Bandu Hills in the north.
