Lunaeria, formally known as the Holy Lunaerian Empire, is a sovereign state in upper Novaris which currently shares land borders with unrecognized countries. The population of 62.4 million citizens are loosely scattered amongst the country side, although the metropolitan area around the largest and capital city, Libaana, breaks this trend as it alone houses almost 13 percent of the country, or 7,892,000 citizens as determined by the 2020 estimate. Highly religious, the country was founded on state enforced Lunaecism and can be seen within the constitutional monarchy.
History
Pre-lupine
Long before the discovering of Lunaeria's land by lupine settlers, multiple tribes consisting of ursines were spread both within and south of what are Lunaeria's borders today. These people were well settled and maintained strong communication networks. The most prominent of which, and now used to refer to the area's natives as a whole, were the Ukkosta, which can be roughly translated to "of thunder" from what is thought to be a modified version of Asendavian. Through what has been interpreted, the name stems from both the tribe's general presence of power among neighboring communities and physically, as is associated with the large, sturdy frame typical of ursines. Although there weren't an abundance of records which survived from that time, historians have gathered time frames and general information mostly from things such as well kept diaries rather than official documents. What is known as of now is the native tribes people spoke of many generations ago emigrated from what is now determined to be Asendavia. The ursines originally lived quiet, settled tribal lives primarily on what is today the island Khiyev. Various tribes of ursines had occupied it for countless centuries and were considered to be its first inhabitants. It has been noted that this sudden immigration to Novaris likely was a repercussion of the establishment of kingdoms and later formation of a country on the nearby land. Both the thought of being ripped away from their current way of life to become part of a new country and the onset of border wars repelled many of the tribes people greatly. As such, the first wave of this large-scale move occurred around the 810's BC when the kingdoms of Tungrad, Zhelelovka, and Stromharad were first settled. These territories had made minimal contact with any of the native ursines yet and not even tried to take their land and so many stayed for the time being. The second large wave of tribes migrated when the three kingdoms unified into one about 500 years later, and the last wave was forced out of the island by the 260's BC by the Asendvians forcefully seizing their land which made many choose to leave instead of fight or conform. Over the previously stated 550 year period, nearly two thirds of ursines had fled Khiyev. This was achieved largely through traveling along the island chain that branches off of eastern Asendavia, the groups then making their way to the north western tip of Novaris. Over the course of an estimated 450 years, the nomadic ursines traveled the northern portion of Novaris with smaller groups gradually splitting off and settling all over the region.
