Various groups and tribes have inhabited modern day Arkalarius ever since sentient species crossed over the landbridge from Yasteria. For a time, most of modern day Arkalarius was controlled by [[Tretrid]] under the name of [[Tretridian West Novaris]]. With the colonial ventures of [[Norgsveldet]], [[Asendavia]], and later [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]], colonial Arkalarius became a culturally diverse trading haven, which resulted in a unique regional culture, commonly cited as a key cause behind the [[Arkian Revolutionary War]]. Before the federation that fought in the Revolutionary War formed, the Arkian peninsula was a diverse mix of colonial holdings and charters, all made up of hundreds of smaller noble states. These states persist still, giving Arkalarius its unique confederal makeup. Post Arkian independence, the nation saw gradual support for democracy, and upon the death of the first and only King of Arkalarius, [[Johann von Freyaelv]], the heir to the throne [[Johann II von Freyaelv]] abdicated in favor of a democracy, later being elected as the nation's second President. As the newly democratic Confederation of Arkalarius rose in power, it quickly came into conflict with the dominant power in Novaris, the Kingdom of Tretrid. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries Arkalarius and Tretrid would enter a series of conflicts, and although no true decisive winner was found, Arkalarius steadily grew in size and power, eventually annexing the formerly Tretridian territory of [[Schlesia]] in the final Tretrido-Arkian war. Arkalarius joined the [[Great War]] on the side of [[Asendavia]], and throughout the conflict anti-Tretridian sentiment grew to a point even higher than in the series of 19th century conflicts between the two nations. The Great War ended with no decisive winner, and although it took some time for Arkian troops to leave Tretridian soil, there was no further escalation until the Tretrido-Arkian Cold War (henceforth "Cold War"). The Cold War was a major political conflict between Arkalarius and Tretrid, one which only escalated further as both nations expanded their influence and political power. Eventually, this resulted in a nuclear arms race. The Cold War is commonly agreed to have ended in Tretridian favor in 2002, when the [[Arkian Civil War]] broke out. After the three-year conflict of the Civil War, Arkalarius became a constitutional monarchy, and received its first monarch since the Revolutionary War.

Volscina, officially the Volscine Empire or Empire of Volscina (Norvian: L'Impero Volscino), is a country located in west Novaris. It borders Cavellan to the East, Durakia through Ietracia, and shares maritime borders with Durakia, Aponivia, Varletia, the Varentine League, and Cryria. Covering an area of 2,059,878.512 square kilometers, it lies mostly on the Arkian Peninsula, sitting next to the Pacific Ocean, it lies between the Arkian Sea to the north and the Arkian Channel to the south.

As the newly democratic Volscine Confederation rose in power, it quickly came into conflict with the dominant power in Novaris, the Kingdom of Tretrid. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries Volscina and Tretrid entered a series of conflicts, and although no true decisive winner was found, Volscina steadily grew in size and power, eventually annexing the disputed Tretridian territory of Seccera in the final Volscino-Tretridian war. Volcsina joined the Great War on the side of Asendavia, and throughout the conflict anti-Tretridian sentiment grew to a point even higher than in the series of 19th century conflicts between the two nations. The Great War ended with no decisive winner, and although it took some time for Arkian troops to leave Tretridian soil, there was no further escalation until the Volscino-Tretridian Cold War (henceforth "Cold War"). The Cold War was a major political conflict between Volscina and Tretrid, one which only escalated further as both nations expanded their influence and political power. Eventually, this resulted in a nuclear arms race. The Cold War is commonly agreed to have ended in Tretridian favor in 2002, when the Volscine Civil War broke out. Since the end of the three-year conflict, Volscina has reinstated Imperial rule, the new government claiming the heritage of the old Volscine Empire.

Today, Volscina is a Confederal Elective Monarchy led by an emperor or empress, who serves as the head of the Imperial Diet, which itself is populated by the leaders of the constituent nations that make up the Empire. The capital is Cadrigrano, and its major financial centers are Mazarona, Amorecci, Tramonto, Acaimo, and Videnza.

Volscina is a rising regional power with a robust but damaged economy, still in recovery from the damages wrought by the civil war. It is heavily developed and industrialized, and is a large producer of metals, foodstuffs, and automobiles. Volscina is known for its beautiful landscapes, historic cities, and many castles, making it one of the largest tourist destinations on Novaris.
