Countries, states and cultures: Markania

 Placeholder

 

 

 

 

Full name: Markanian Lands / Markanian Realms

Type: Territorial state.

Demonym: Markan, Markanan

Description:

Real world frame of reference: The Czech lands and their history. The name itself is a nod to: a.) The Germanic Marcomanni tribes that inhabited the area during Antiquity, prior to displacement by other ehtnicities, including Slavs. b.) The fact that eastern parts of the Czech lands, such as Moravia, were considered marks (border marches) of the Frankish and later Holy Roman Empire at various periods of the Middle Ages. In another nod to real world puns about Czechs-cheques-checks, some languages of Aporue have their own punny “Markan-marker-mark” jokes.

City NPCs of Markanan origins: Paidrkoa Baltābols (née Křilžic)
