Antora is a country located on the south-eastern portion of Novaris. Antora is a united post-feudal state, which consolidated into one nation four hundred and thirty years ago from the Kingdom of Casilló and the Kingdom of Réal. With a rich history going back almost 1800 years, Antora is a cultural and vacation destination for many around the world. In 1584, the Kingdom of Réal was conquered after the Thirty-Years’ Bloodshed, also known as the Conquísta, and the Kingdom of Corrí was later officially founded in 1628. In 1783, the Kingdom of Corrí was renamed to Casilló y Réal by Queen Alejandra to reflect the united but distinct cultures of the nation. While the country industrialized in the 19th century, the use of fossil fuels has been heavily regulated by the state. This stance has prohibited Antora from becoming a major power militarily, economically, or industrially, but it remains a prosperous nation with good marks in human development, GDP per capita, democracy, press freedoms, and social and environmental progress. The nation is currently a member of the League of Novaris, as well as a founding member of the Conference for Amity and Cooperation and the Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance.
