Kasibaar is a coastal country located in South-Western Avalonia. Kasibaar is a  under an    which contains a population of over 35.6 million people. The majority of Baari live urban lifestyles along major coastal urban centres with the largest settlement and capital being Purto d'Ga'alise in the Ga'alise province. Kasibaar encompasses 270,750 km2, however, 88% of the population reside in 10% of the nation's total land area.

Modern-day Kasibaar is bordered to the north by Santa Magdalena, to the east by SiWallqanqa, to the south by blank and Pacharikcha and to the west by the Coral Sea. Its geography is dominated by arid and  which cover over two thirds of the country’s total land area resulting in the population being largely concentrated along the wetter coastlines. Interior Kasibaar has low annual rainfall which contributed to the hot and dry conditions, despite this a few old Baari settlements continue to exist inland with the presence of a small number of nomadic peoples still seen in the present day. Humans have inhabited in the regions that are modern-day Kasibaar since the.

Kasibaar ranks high on the, and has a upper middle income economy. The Baari economy is primarily composed of developing tertiary sectors as the number of skilled workers increases, however primary and secondary sectors such as and,  and  and civilian manufacturing are still major contributors to the nation’s economy.

Etymology
The name Kasibaar is derived from the T'aan Baari word "Kasi", which translates to "home" in Anglic, and "Baar" which is the ancient name of the Baar native people who have been present in the region for hundreds of years. As a result "Kasibaar" translates literally into "Home of the Baar" a name established several centuries ago, evidence of which was found in old journals and other written material found in the region, however was not an officially recognised term for the region until the 17th century when the unification of the Baar tribes occurred.

The name of the Baar people has unknown origins and research regarding the original etymology has been largely abandoned as the name seems to transcend beyond known surviving documentation and likely existed before written archives and documentation were widespread in the region.

Geography
Kasibaar is located along the Coral Sea in South-Western Avalonia encompassing a total land area of 270,750 km2. It is bounded by Santa Magdalena to the north, SiWallqanqa to the east, blank and Pacharikcha to the south and the Coral Sea to its west. Two of its boundaries are established by natural features (eastern highlands and western coast) and is borders with blank and Pacharikcha are formed by various treaties and local agreements, however, it’s border with Santa Magdalena is still actively disputed in several regions due to past cultural conflict. Kasibaar’s position along the Coral Sea allows direct access to strategic deepwater oil pockets and shipping routes.

Approximately two thirds of Kasibaar is extremely which has resulted in its population centres being concentrated along its wetter western coastline where approximately 88% of the population reside in major urban centres. The two major urban centres found along the west coast are the cities of Purto d'Ga'alise in the province of Ga'alise and Purto d'Braga in the province of Braga which also house the two largest seaports and two largest airports in Kasibaar.

Kasibaar can be divided into approximately three major geographical zones, the western coast, the country’s centre and the country’s eastern frontier. The coast is generally steep, rocky and barren however, it is wet enough for the formation of mangroves and sparse dry woodlands with a limited number of sandy beaches, the coast on average sits 70 metres above sea level. Central Kasibaar is made up largely of with intermittent hills and little to no flora or fauna due to the harsh conditions, it sits on average 450 meters above sea level and is the second most populated region of Kasibaar. The eastern regions of Kasibaar transition rapidly from rocky deserts to arid highlands sitting approximately 900 meters above sea level and leads into Kasibaar’s eastern border with SiWallqanqa featuring steep rocky hills and a harsh rocky plateau. Kasibaar contains only a single major inland river and no major inland lakes.

Population
As of 2019 the Kasibaar Federal Monarchy has a total population of 35.68 million, placing it as a medium sized nation as per global population rankings. Kasibaar has a moderate density on average of approximately 131.81 people per square kilometer, however at a lower level much of the population lives along the coast in two major population centers with a density of 5,521 and 3,213 people per square kilometer. It has a sustainable population growth with an annual change of 2.25% as of 2019, with a moderate average life expectancy of 76.5 years for males and 81.1 years for females.

Kasibaar has a very small but growing immigrant population making up approximately 1.5% of the total population, majority coming from neighboring Avalonian nations. The immigrant population has grown by an average of 5.2% yearly for the last decade due to government interest and investment in bringing foreign expertise to grow industries such as the emerging ICT and electronics sector. As January 19th 2008, the central government has implemented changes to its immigration policies to fast track immigration applications if they fit areas of the economy that are lacking experience or are of government interest to expand which has seen a gradual increase in immigration applicants. Along with the accelerated immigration process, the government has introduced small monetary incentives and tax breaks to draw potential applicants into Kasibaar, and encouraging them to stay.

As a result of Kasibaars climate and geographical limitations, forcing the majority of the population to major coastal urban centers, it holds a high urbanisation rate of 84.3%. Approximately two thirds of the country cannot sustain large scale long term settlement thus resulting in the mass urbanisation of a small coastal strip of sustainable land.

Administrative Divisions
Kasibaar is divided into ___ administrative divisions operating under the Federal Assembly. This includes ____ Kiiths (Anglic lit.: Tribe) and ___ Kiith’chus (Anglic lit.: Split/half tribe). The Kiiths derive from the old monarchist confederal government divisions which can be traced back to paleolithic era Baari tribes, which over time merged and evolved beyond the typical kin-group tribal establishments. Kiith’chus were introduced after the unification of the Baari tribes and are typically Kiiths who have split or lost territory and were typically classified as a lesser Kiith.

The Kiiths are de jure, and have permanent government status with high levels of independence. Under the Federal Assembly the Kiiths are all equal in status, except that Kiith'chu have half representation in the Kiith'ta Assembly (One Kiith'ta instead of two) and only have half a vote in Federal Kiith referendums. Each Kiith follows a directorial system and are able to have their own constitution, parliament, government, police and courts. They also have varying populations, geographical areas and at times recognised languages.

Structure
The basis of modern politics within Kasibaar is a democraticised model of Kasibaars old monarchic confederation system adopted in 1960 which shifted from an enlightened non-elected confederation of tribes to a secular elected confederation with semi-direct democracy, deposing the monarchy in the process. It does not feature a codified constitution and is built upon a series of basic laws which were established by the old monarchy and then altered by the Federal Assembly in 1960, covering basic individual rights and the political division of power across the Federal Assembly. There are two primary bodies at the federal level: the bicameral Federal Assembly (legislative and executive) and the Popular Court (judicial).

The Federal Assembly consists of two houses: the Kiith’ta Assembly which consists of two representatives (T'aan Baari: Kiith’ta, Anglic Lit.:Senior Tribesperson) from each Kiith and one from each Kiith'chu who are elected on a per-Kiith basis, and the Common Assembly, which are elected under a system of, dependent on the population of a given Kiith. Members of both houses can only serve for 3 year terms and they only serve as members of the Federal Assembly part-time. The head of the Federal Assembly is the Chief of Assembly (T’aan Baari: Ta’arkhan, Anglic: Lord) who serves as the de facto executive body within the Federal Assembly. Through referendum, citizens are able to challenge any law passed by the Federal Assembly and introduce amendments to the basic laws.

Rail Infrastructure
Kasibaar makes heavy use of rail, major railways exist and are maintained from western kasibaar ports to the eastern borders with Pachi and SiWi. Pachi utilises Kasibaar rail (and contracted Kasibaar to build their rail) as a means to access ports in western kasibaar to import and export their goods.

Public Transportation
Effectively only really exists in western kasibaar along the coast. Public transport is non-existent elsewhere.
