Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

Given our nation name is an initialism, it's said letter by letter A-H-S-C-A. Though some like to fuse it as a proper acronym and say ASHCA rearranging the order of S.
