Description

Koryeo (Korean: 고려, also transcribed as Koryǒ) is a unitary directorial aristocratic republic located on the southernmost peninsula of Avalonia (Anterra's "New World"). 

Although the exact origins of Koryeo have currently not been hashed out yet, it is suspected that it is the descendant of prehistoric settlers from Eastern Kesh (the equivalent of East/Central Asia) or some sort of shipwrecked expedition from the same region. As Korean is a language isolate, it is very possible that the language developed independently from Kesh nations and the modern written Koryeose developed with influence from Kesh. Another possibility is early colonization of the new world by Kodeshia which is a Korean/east/south east Asian nation.

Given its topography and location in Anterra, Koryeo's climate will be similar to Chile and Argentina. The mountain valleys of Sakchu and Cheolla in the west are arid, similar to the Atacama Desert. The area west of the mountain ranges and south of the 30th parallel experience snowfall

Below the 30th parallel, east of the mountain ranges, shielded from the cool winds of the Tethys Ocean, souther Koryeo is largely dominated by arid
 scrublands and prairie. Meanwhile, warmer winds from the Iapetus cause a humid-subtropical climate north of the 30th parallel. Meanwhile, there are alpine glaciers in the mountain ranges of Kaya.

Cool Tethys currents meet warm Iapetus currents off of its southern coast (similar to how the Benguela and Agulhas currents meet off the coast of South Africa), causing storms off the coast of Kaya.
