Debrælia

Debrælia, or officially Republic of Debrælia (Republika Debræljska), is a country in Northern Naurussia, bordered in the north by Azelite, in the north-west by Votaria, and in the south by Zeltuva. The capital and the largest city in the country is Grande-Gёtia. It has a population of around 6.3 million people, who live in 321.5 thousand km2 of territory.

Etymology
The name Debrælia comes from two roots: Dibhr, which is the name of an antic tribe, populating this area, and Æler, meaning "land"

Climate
Debrælia is situated on two penisnulas on western shore of North-Naurussian sea. Almost the entire eastern part of a country is a coastline, thus providing a maritime climate. Additionally, Debrælia is a northern country, and as such, the temperature in the most populated area of the country (an aglomeration centered around the capital, Grande-Gёtia) sometimes drops below -10°C in the winter.

Culture
A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and comfort the human foot. Shoes are also used as an item of decoration and fashion. The design of shoes has varied enormously through time and from culture to culture, with form originally being tied to function. Though the human foot can adapt to varied terrains and climate conditions, it is still vulnerable to environmental hazards such as sharp rocks and temperature extremes, which shoes protect against. Some shoes are worn as safety equipment, such as steel-toe boots which are required footwear at industrial worksites.

Additionally, fashion has often dictated many design elements, such as whether shoes have very high heels or flat ones. Contemporary footwear varies widely in style, complexity and cost. Basic sandals may consist of only a thin sole and simple strap and be sold for a low cost. High fashion shoes made by famous designers may be made of expensive materials, use complex construction and sell for large sums of money. Some shoes are designed for specific purposes, such as boots designed specifically for mountaineering or skiing, while others have more generalized usage such as sneakers which have transformed from a special purpose sport shoe into a general use shoe.

Traditionally, shoes have been made from leather, wood or canvas, but are increasingly being made from rubber, plastics, and other petrochemical-derived materials. Globally, the shoe industry is a $200 billion a year industry. 90% of shoes end up in landfills, because the materials are hard to separate, recycle or otherwise reuse.
