Kanzlia, formally recognised as The Gracious Kanzlian State since the start of the Restoration, is an island country on the northern fringes of Esportiva. The country is divided into 7 provinces. Its main island, Kalta, consists of nearly 85% of the country's population whilst the smaller island of Byradu-Farioli makes up the rest. Its island country status means that Kanzlia shares no land border with any other nation. Kanzlia does not have an official language, but Kanzlian and English is the most widely used language in the country with most Kanzlians being able to speak both languages.

Kanzlia literally means "Sacred Society" in ancient Kanzlian, a reference to a creation myth of Ancient Kanzlian civilisation. The geographic characteristics of Kanzlia can be described as snow covered hilly and forested. Much of Kalta is forested with only the western region of the island being the exception. The dense forests of Kalta perpetuated the growth of the Kanzlian timber industry. Meanwhile the island of Byradu-Farioli is largely dominated with hilly plains centered around Mt. Vyktoria, a now dormant volcano. For much of Kanzlian history, Szbedansk located on the Azuin Sea, by the Great Kaltan River, served as the economic hub of the island. The Port of Szbedansk is the largest port in the country and itself holds a large shipbuilding industry. The now defunct Szbedansk Shipbuilding Corporation was the largest civilian shipbuilding company in the world.

Kanzlia is currently facing a population crisis due to the recently concluded Kanzlian Civil War. Its population dropped by 12.5% from around 27 million in 2009 to 24 million in 2014. The Kanzlian Civil War casualties were relatively minimal with 500,000 killed but the Diaspora had forced nearly 3 million Kanzlians to flee. Prior to the Kanzlian Civil War, Kanzlia had a large agricultural industry, mainly concentrated on the flatter west. The countrys cold climate had historically forced Kanzlia to import grain to the country; the reliance on imported grain culminated with the grain crisis of the 60s. When Kanzlia was unable to import grain to the country and caused the complete collapse of Kanzlian society, resulting in a famine which killed 10 million Kanzlians. However after the invention of Kanzlian Wheat which is cold-resistant, Kanzlia was able to rely on domestic wheat ever since the 1970s.

Kanzlia had been under a transitional council since the end of the civil war. Kanzlia was initially formed as a constitutional monarchy until the Kanzlian Collapse when a new unitary republic was formed. Now with the TCRK stepping down, the Restoration Movement began its Restoration of the monarchy. Kanzlias large primary and secondary sector had influenced Kanzlia as a technological and industry-based economy. It has a long tradition of maritime trade and today it is reflected with the shipbuilding industry.
