}}'''Charlottesborg''', formally known as the '''Duchy of Charlottesborg''', is a constituent state within [[Volscina|Volscine Empire]] ruled by the Reitz family.
Between the 13th and 16th centuries, Charlottesborg was called the Duchy of Segolstad and was a major Cryrian possession on the Novaran mainland. Following the Sorrows, the local aristocracy rejected the authority of the Drifting Throne and aligned with the Cadrigranic League in the War of the Seven Emperors. It later became part of the Volscine Empire.
The Government of Charlottesborg is notably illiberal, particularly following the Volscine Civil War. Power is primarily held by the House of Reitz, and the Ducal Council serves as a rubber-stamp legislature. The Duchy's Cryrian ancestry still influences its culture to this day. A regional variety of Cryrian remains the territory's official language next to Volscine Norvian. The Duchy boasts a developed economy with diverse technology and services sectors, and Cryrian firms sometimes outsource to Charlottesborg. The city of Charlottesborg is further home to an important shipbuilding industry. The Duchy's coastline famous for its spectacular beaches that draw significant numbers of tourists each year. Due to its cultural ties and comparatively lower cost of living, it is a popular vacation and retirement site for Cryrian citizens
