-OVERVIEW--

Cobura is a diverse, multi-ethnic country inspired primarily by Egypt and Ethiopia, as well as Sudan and the Balkans. As there is no single real-life equivalent for the Zardic (Esperanto) people, they are based on Eastern and Southern European people. For a list of Zardic names, see the "Tools" section below.

--RELIGION--

The Coburan Apostolic Tewahedo Church is the largest religious group in the country but it does not have a single real-life equivalent. The in-game church incorporates aspects of the real life Coptic Orthodox Church and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In the world of the game, it is an autocephalous church within the wider Apostolic Church of the East (Oriental Orthodox Churches).

--LANGUAGE--

No single language is spoken throughout Cobura. Each ethnic group speaks their own respective language. In the case of the Irkawan (Egyptian) people, this is the Irkawan (Coptic) language. The two principal dialects are commonly known as Eastern Irkawan (Sahidic) and Western Irkawan (Bohairic). Mallan (Amharic) is widely used as a lingua franca among the entire Coburan population. Zardic (Esperanto) is a natural language in Particracy that is derived from Selucian (Latin).
