The state of Vaara is a small country in
Central Smalik, bordering Nucani, the Kingdom of
Bėltse, and Sarigis. To its north, it has a small
exclave lodged between Sarigis and Nucani. Vaara
is one of the seven original successor states of
the Republic of Bowdani that broke apart on 16
October 316. The self-styled semi-demarchy
is ruled by a triumvirate known as the Presidential
Committee, the members of which are elected for a
three year term in each consecutive year. The
capital of Vaara is Leertossoirra, known in
Ingallish as Newcastle, a quaint and uneven little
town that looks like a gigantic medieval castle.
