Rukahairo

Rukahairo, officially The United Rukan Realms (U.R.R), is a country in North East Talamor, Bordered by the Lautian Ocean in the west. The area that would become Rukahario was settled by various Talamorian groups from 50,000 BC, However by the time of the Arstyian landings a series of southern migration had created a ethnic mosaic of constant conflict between these groups. This allowed the the Rukans to anchor themselves on the Nakamor Coast. This precepted a period of slow demographic expansion deeper into the Nakamor as various Rukan trade towns spread across the North, however a war with the Fada lake confederacy confined their presence to south of the Finyun. The trade between facilitated between Talamor and Serrator made the Rukans very wealthy and the Unification of the Rukan realms under Rukanhaler Kyösti Määttä led to further expansion south and westward. This led to a golden age until the early 20th century which saw the country decline rapidly, a civil war proved its lowest point.

Modern day Ruka is a middle income economy specializing on the light manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, Whitegoods, agricultural goods, communications equipment and telecommunications services. Agriculturally Ruka is a famed for its Beer "ruisviiriäinen" which is exported across the world. Mining is also an important export for the country with Zinc, Copper, and Uranium.

Socially Ruka is a deeply religious society with Rukan Orthodoxy being ubiquitous across society, backed by the Rukan state which itself has Theocratic elements. Rukan society is a truly unique amongst all others with unique cultural, social, architectural and ceremonial traditions.
