'''Axdel''' (Axdelian: ''Ax̂deliiAx̂tèlii''), officially known as '''The Federation of Axdel''', is a sovereign federal state consisting of three constituent countries; [[Korstazia]], [[Lyrevale]], and [[Quartz Fern Coast]]. It is situated on the [[Axdelian peninsula]] of South-West [[Aurora]], and borders the nations of [[Emberwood Coast]], [[Great Morstaybishlia]], [[Oceansend]], and [[Qayam]]. It is the second largest nation by land area on the continent. The capital city of Axdel is [[Andel]] in Korstazia with 11 million people, followed by Fenrir in Lyrevale with 9 million.
 
The land on which Axdel sits has been inhabited by sapient species' for potentially up to a million years, with the arrival of the first anatomically modern [[Cava]] in the area. The first civilisation in the area was Laqytia, a collection of agricultural city states. From the iron age the region was conquered by the influential Kormistazic empire and its numerous satellite states. The empire collapsed and was re-established two times under dozens of imperial dynasties. The Third Kormistazic Empire established and administered colonial territories on [[Arcturia]] for several centuries. After a five decade long series of invasions by Morstaybishlia in the 16th century, mainland Kormistazm surrendered and was incorporated into the empire as the province of Axdelia. After the end of the first [[Posolic Wars|Posolic war]] in 1810 the region was granted principality status, and during democratic reforms after the end of the [[Great War]] in 1917 it became a semi-independent Dominion. Axdel gained full independence after a socialist-led coup and short conflict in 1966, forming the independent nation of [[Noroist Axdel]]. Lyrevale and Quartz Fern Coast seceded at the close of the [[Auroran Imperial War]] and the signing of the Weyrcliff pact, with Lyrevale re-joining Axdel as a federation after the its [[Lyrevale Civil War|civil]] and [[Lyrevale Continuation War|continuation]] wars. The Noroist government collapsed in 1996 after a slow, bitter two year [[Axdel civil war|civil war]], with the present democratic government succeeding it after a short transition. The majority of Quartz Fern Coast was incorporated into the federation in 2003 after a referendum following the collapse of its authoritarian government in the years prior.
