Makaska is a constituent state in the Federal States of Archanta, located in the south central "lakes" region along the southern borader, on a broad isthmus between the two large lakes, Lake "A" and Lake "B".

Makaska shares its isthmus with Oshweken to the north. To the south it has international boundaries with Brieland and Spero. To the west across the narrow Strait of Saint Michael, which is part of Lake "A", lies the state of Seneppi.

Etymology

The name "Makaska" derives from the Rakhoda language phrase "maka ska," which means "white land" or "white earth." It is not clear whether this references an area of white and light-colored stone along the shores of Lake Ohunkagan, or whether this is simply a reference to the extensive and long-lasting snow covers of a typical Makaskan winter.

Townships, Towns, Villages and Cities

Originally, Makaska's parishes were subdivided into rural townships based on the regional survey of 1841. There were 203 townships.

However, these townships are now obsolete, although their boundaries are still visible in the map of the current divisions. Currently, Makaska has a "full coverage" of 3rd order political divisions which go by the terms City, Town and Village. These terms are misleading with respect to size, however, since they refer to forms of government. Cities are any chartered municipality under the state government, but can be any size. Thus the "city" of Ragged Point, for example, has less than 500 inhabitants. Villages are autonomous and incorporated, but not chartered, and are rarely larger than a few thousand inhabitants. Towns are the inheritors of the township governments, which are not autonomous but are typically subsidiary to parish governments, and the concept applies mostly to rural areas. However, there is at least one "town" that has almost 100,000 inhabitants: Lower Uppington, which has seen a lot of suburban growth in recent years but whose inhabitants have so far resisted incorporating.

Informal Regions

The state does not have a formal division into regions, but there are some fairly well-established regional subdivisions.

  • "Snowdrift Riviera" - the southwest: Carbon, Cosmos, Starr, and Taylor Parishes, so named because of the high snowfalls due to lake-effect snows in the winter.
  • "Downstate" - the east coast: La Porte, Swift, Iyotanhaha, Lake, and Many Ghosts Parishes.
  • "Bluffland" - the north/northwest: Elizabeth, Xanthippe, Brown Buffalo, and Justice Parishes, so named because of the prominent bluff and plateau topography of the region.
  • "Portage Corridor" - the central/west: Churchland, Ouroboros, Vineland, Storey, Mihm, Lac Perdu and Deal Parishes, so named because of the two rivers (Makaska River and Kanguisapa River) that drain in opposite directions from the area around the state capital.
  • "Spiritland" - the central south: Humble, Maldonado, Freeborn, and Battle Plain Parishes.
  • "Lakeland" - the flanks of Lac Perdu: Lac Perdu and Yellowtree Parishes.

Native Makaskans

A substantial portion of the state is given over to "Native Lands." The history of the "tribes and bands" is fraught and these groups were once quite marginalized and even the victims of genocide, but currently these groups are becoming increasingly prosperous and well-integrated, thanks to the legalization of casino gambling only on tribal lands in the 1980's (giving them a reliable monopoly source of revenue), as well as some well-placed social services programs and a state-level reparations settlement that created an endowed fund in 1992.

"Silicon Shore"

The Silicon Shore is the popular name for a string of suburbs south of Ohunkagan, mostly lining the shore of Lake X, where there is a high concentration of technology companies, research labs, and corporate campuses. The suburbs generally included are (from north to south): Paisley Gardens, Blooming Shore, Cherry Grove, Petachona, Land, and Rhodesylvania. The largest in population and most important, by far, is the city of Blooming Shore, with the corporate headquarters of XTech Inc., including their main chip design and manufacturing facilities. Marginal members of the Silicon Shore category are the cities of Craig, Elphinstone, De Telling, and Radio Park, which lie farther south, and the cities of Paragon and Halesburg, which lie inland. The exclusive lakeshore residential community of Cape Torment, to the east of De Telling, is not typically included, but many of the newly wealthy tech executives have homes there. (map)
