Kayurata is a fairly small though economically and militarily powerful country that now holds the island of Mindanao as its sovereign state. Formerly of the Philippines, Kayurata broke away in 2112 after a series of civil wars that lasted for decades during government coups and now operates entirely as a military dictatorship. Ambitious and violent, Kayurata utilizes resources and hardware left over from years of in-fighting as well as decades of economic might when it was once a part of the Phillipines. Currently, Kayurata obtains either through economic means or high-seas piracy.
