Kordusia

Kordusia is the most populous county in Dorvik.

Geography
Kordusia is the northernmost county on the Atrian peninsula of Dorvik. It is north of Largonia and Miktar, and south of the island of Mothar.

Kordusia has four major cities, Langton, Kordaw, Haldor, and Birdon. All of these cities are coastal; the interior is rocky and not very fertile. The four cities are expanding rapidly, and sprawling towards eachother. This phenomenon is often referred to as either "Dor-daw-don-ton" (for the last syllables of each of the cities) or as the Kordusia Coastal Conurbation.

History
Kordusia was settled by the Dorvin people, who came from southern Atria, in around the year 400. Due to its coastal setting, Kordusia has long been a centre of commerce and idea exchange in Dorvik. It is here that the Christian faith now prevalent in Dorvik first took root.

Politics
Kordusia is often one of the most politically contested regions, due to its large population and central location. Although it has long been a bastion of the Centre-Right parties in Dorvik, like the Green Coalition (VolksUnie) and the Free People Party, in the 2304 elections, the Soy Green Freedom Party gained a narrow plurality. Political scientists generally credit Kordusia's votes for pushing James Soyak of the SGFP into the second round of presidential voting. Kordusia also tends to be hostile to "Fifth Parties"; the Dorvik Liberal-Republican Party and Dorvik Independence Party both got fewer than 1,500 votes here.
