**Caturama** (//Low Vestan: **Katoerama**//) is a state in northeastern [[Ancoria]] located along the Hyperian coast. Bordered to the west by [[Caiubi]] and [[Ibotirama]] and to the east by [[Tecarema]], it is host to a number of major highways, including the AN-233. Its capital, [[Indaial]], is a key stopping point along the broader highway and rail networks of the northeast. Owing to its strategic position and relatively low population, Caturama hosts a number of military facilities, most notable among them the '[[Escudo do Nordeste]]' array of defensive superguns.
Caturama's climate is of particular interest to tourists and scientists alike, with the unique caatinga bioregion spanning much of the state's southern reaches. A number of prehistoric sites also dot the inland, warranting particular archaeological interest. The [[Caturama Man]], discovered in the [[Caves of Vrão]] in 0002 R.C., is believed to be the oldest known example of human remains in Ancoria.
Initially colonized by the [[Flacklanders]], many of its cities were initially founded in this colonial period. Despite the subsequent Viratian conquest, Low Vestan culture remains strong in the state, with most speaking Low Vestan as a first language.
