Novenad has humid continental climate in the north, and subarctic to the south. Novenad is situated in a group of several large mountains, some of the tallest on Kerbin.

The Baskay Empire eventually collapsed in 980 BCE, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries before they organized to form [[Kerbia]] and [[Mentonogro]]. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the [[SMC|Southern Mercantile Collective]] and [[Laythia]] and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside [[Behian]] and [[Troakia|Troak]]. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the [[KSKM|Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro]]. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071.

This government, led by Cmarko Supcic, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities. The first program was very successful, bringing the NKR back to the level of a developing nation. The second was cut short by an unexpected coup performed by [[Lovro Horvat]], a high ranking official.

After two and a half years, the name Novenad was chosen along with the current flag. A week later in 2163, The Provisional Government of the NKR was dissolved in favour of the permanent Government of Novenad, and the first elections in over 20 years were held.

The time since has been a period of stability and economic growth, with applauded democratic processes and a thriving industry base. |

Etymology
The name Novenad is a modernization of the Old Kerbian term Nova Nada for a “new beginning” or “new hope”, reflecting the desire to end the turmoil of the past centuries that was a core idea of the new nation. It was chosen by public referendum out of five other proposals in December 2162, and drafted in the new constitution in January 2163. Critics of the name state that it results from a mistranslation, attributing the proper root word to Tezan. Some claim the adoption of the modernized spelling disconnects the country from its past, and the root word should have been used.
Geography
Novenad is located in central Veiid, bordering Desovo, Atreus, Irsmuncast, and Fortis, sharing maritime borders with the latter two in the Baskay Sea. Most of the 32,241 km2 of Novenadian territory is dominated by the Karjina Mountain range, with 16 peaks above 4500 metres above sea level. The highest of these reaches 6144 metres, making it one of the tallest mountains on Kerbin. The capital Nrida is located at the mouth of the Nrida river, which extends from the Minor Baskay Bay inland to the base of Mt. Belgor.
The east and west of Novenad are separated by the Karjina mountain range, which forms a rough horseshoe through the center of the country.

History
The territory of modern Novenad has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic era, with organized agriculture-based civilizations beginning to form near the Nrida river around 20,000 BCE.
These relatively isolated nations were conquered by Galgus Kerm during his expansion through Veiid, forming the Baskay Empire circa 1300 BCE. The Baskay Empire eventually collapsed in 980 BCE, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries before they organized to form Kerbia and Mentonogro. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the Southern Mercantile Collective and Laythia and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside Behian and Troak. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071. Arising from the instability was the SFRK, a totalitarian state that controlled much of the Kalbans from the late 2070s until its collapse in 2127 triggered one of the most destructive wars in the history of the Kalbans.
In 2138, a military backed government was put in power and immediately began attempting to restore living conditions in what was now the New Kalban Republic to modern standards. This government, led by Cmarko Supcic, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities.
