'''Endertopias''', formally known as the '''Federation of Endertopias''', is a country located in northern [[Novaris]]. It borders [[GransrikGräntierik]] and [[Veria]] to the south and the southeast, respectively, and [[Kelamí League]] to the north. [[Vesienväl]] is just across a strait to the east. The total area of approximately 580,000 squared kilometers is home to a rapidly modernizing and internationalizing economy. The capital is Starynwale, and the largest city is Delphinia, both of which are located in New Endria, one of the Federation's three constituencies.
 
The Federation comprises three main parts, the Crowned Republic of Iferia in the southwest, the Northern Counties in the north, and New Endria in the east.

Aside from the aboriginal peoples living on the land, the first group of adventurers from [[Asendavia]] set foot on the land in the 10th century, landing on the coasts of modern-day Madelina. The first settlers did not stay dormant for long before again setting off for the unknown, towards the west. After a series of events, the 18 tribes of the Endery League united to form the Federation. Enderopias today is a federal parliamentary republic operating under a high degree of unity. The 18 tribes has been cooperative and supportive of each other through their hardest times, and to prevent biases towards any of them, the government spreads its operations over all the major cities.
 
The Federation of Endertopias has been a full member of the [[League of Novaris]] since 2021.
The Endertopian government practiced isolationism after its foundation with an eye to stabilizing the nation after an almost-60-year-long conflict. After the political reforms, efforts have been made to speed up the internationalization and modernization of the economy. The government in the modern age puts heavy subsidies on the high-tech and tourism industries. The vast landscapes and cultures stemming from the 18 historic aboriginal tribes makes for a great attraction to tourists. The Federation of Endertopias joined both the [[International Forum]] and the [[League of Novaris]] in 2021.
 
==History ==
 
===The ExpeditionistsPrehistoric ===
The first inhabitants of Endertopias were elves who set foot on the western parts of the Endertopian Plain along with the western mountain ranges. Various tribes formed between the numerous peaks of the Flameflower Mountains. The eastern plains later saw the arrival of the first human settlers, also establishing their presence.
The first documented records landing of people on what would now be Endertopias date back to 934 AD. The historic documents, in the form of diaries were written by a group of adventurers. Recent archaeology studies have been able to positively identify their [[Asendavia|Asendavian]] origins. The group, later named ''the Expeditionists'', first made landfall on the eastern coast near modern-day Madelina. They set up camps, deciding not to travel further by sea. The Expeditionists would then go on more adventures to uncharted lands west of the Madelina coast. The vast plains in the area allowed them good progress, and eventually to reach their first natural barrrier, the Flameflower Mountains. They would later change directions to discover the Skywynne Mountains in the north.
 
===Endery TribesAge of Conquest ===
Over time, social structures and kingdoms started to rise. To the west, two tribes stood out from the rest: Nito in the north, and Ifer in the south. Their modern names come from their religions, with Nito standing for intelligence and wit, and Ifer representing power and passion. The two started to spread their influence around 200 BC, establishing elven kingdoms of the same names.
The original residents of the Endertopian lands are the Endery tribespeople, consisting mainly of elves. It is estimated that they have been living on and around the Flameflower Mountain Ranges for over 5000 years. Historians have currently recognised 18 different distinct tribes across the Flameflower and Skywynne Mountains, most of which shared similar ways of living and systems of society. They were somewhat religious societies all believing in different goddesses ''(Skynesses)'' of their own, though the ways they worshipped them were mostly the same, with the only difference based on the Skynesses' individual preferences. Most of the Endery tribes elect their leaders once a year in a gathering, while some others decide their leaders in different ways. The tribes are closely connected with other tribes, with documents and artifacts indicating a prosperous trading system between tribes. The tribe leaders hold a grand meeting, called the ''Endreassembly'', every 12 years to discuss important matters. A common theme is unification, though many discussions were not fruitful.
 
On the other side of the land, Sir Indre lead the effort to unite the human tribes of the plain.
===The discovery of the Endery tribes & Stonegate Incident===
With the news of successful expedition spreading, more and more people followed the Expeditionists onto the land. Over time, a new society emerged, the old members of the Expeditionists slowly gained power and prevalence in the newly formed system. In 1021 AD, outsiders made their first contact with the Endery tribes.
 
Explorers from [[Asendavia]] also made their arrival around this time. The Asendavians proceeded to assist in Sir Indre's battles in hopes of cementing their own influence on the land. This led to the founding of the Kingdom of Endria in 83 BC with many Asendavian figures at the first King's sides. This involvement also introduced Ademarism to the Endertopian plain.
Over time, the elves slowly made their ways into the system. Two very distinct ideologies emerged as a result, the anti-elves ''Old Expeditionists' Council'' and everyone else. In 1047 AD, as a country starts to take shape, a conflict regarding the ways in which election works sparked a major violent event, the first of such in Endertopias' mostly peaceful history. A group of people and elves burst into a fight in the Stonegate tribe, this would later cause the Old Expeditionists' Council to establish their own nation, ''the Kingdom of Actrosis'', in 1206 AD, i.e. the Great Divide.
 
===The GreatTristate DivideEra & Endery League===
The following times would come to be known as the Tristate Era, in which the Endertopian land is split between three more-or-less equally powerful kingdoms. The Kingdom of Endria occupies the majority of the Endertopian Plain and has much access to the open seas. Nito lies north of the plain, spanning mountains and seasides, and possessing valuable natural resources like the vast taiga and boreal forests. The land-locked Ifer occupies the south west and possesses a rather substantial iron reserve.
The people living on the Endertopian plains were split in two. In the east was the newly established Actrosis Kingdom, and in the west were the 18 Endery tribes still yet to unify. The quality of rule of the Actrosis government quickly deteriorated after dozens of years and they started to roll out speciest policies aimed at the elves. This in turn prompted some to migrate over to west, creating a significant influx of population for the traditional tribes. Still, the Kingdom remained a powerful existence, as its people acknowledge the contributions the original Expeditionists had made to inhabit this land. On the other hand, seeing this massive increase in activity, the tribe leaders had no choice but to take action.
 
The buffer zones which originally existed between the three kingdoms quickly eroded away with quick expansions, especially that of Endria, which has now exerted its control over most of the plain. A prospect of conflict loomed over the land as the friction between the three continued to mount.
The 33th Endreassemly took place in 1228 AD. The tribe leaders discussed the possibility of a united Endery tribes as an entity that would accept all kinds of souls without discrimination, a nation with all the old virtues of traditional tribal life -- acceptance and friendliness. It would then take two more successive meetings to finally settle aside all of their differences and come to terms. In the 36th Endreassembly in 1276 AD, the 18 tribes of Endery officially united to form the Endery League, featuring a national assembly made up of the 18 tribe leaders. The Endery League was just a rather lose collection of tribes and each tribes get to retain their original inner workings. Over time, however, the tribes grew closer and closer.
 
==== New Arrivals ====
===Endre-Actrosis Wars & Alibi Revolution===
Starting from the 10th century and throughout the rest of Endertopian history, a large number of foreign immigrants made their way here. The bulk of them had come from Cryria.
The status quo between the two side lasted for almost 100 years before the Endre-Actrosis War was set off. Another violent beating due to a misunderstanding between the two sides this time escalated to a full scale war.
 
Notably, part of the elves that left Cryria due to war and similar reasons ended up crossing the strait and spreading themselves across the western ends of Nito and Ifer. Similarly, some of the nekomimis who fled their homeland founded themselves gravitating towards the northern land of Nito.
The First Endre-Actrosis War started on February 17, 1372, when an Endery League outpost attacked a group of Actrosis troops passing by. The mountainous terrains of the Flameflower Mountains made it incredibly difficult for Actrosis to advance, and the Endery League took full advantage of it, building a powerful line of defense along it. However, the open plains of Actrosis was nearly impossible for the League, with their outclassed weaponries, to fight on. The Battle of the Rockkamp was the biggest military operation of the war, where Actrosis launched an all-out attack on the highest Endery League camp, Rockkamp, situated on a huge rock to watch over the region. With their high ground, the Rockkamp successfully deterred the attack. The rest of the fight quickly came to a standstill. The next 27 years saw on-and-off fights across the ridge lines with no major conflicts.
 
Historians estimated that some 70,000 [[Cryria|Cryrian]] elves and nekomimis emigrated to Nito and Ifer in the 10th and 11th century. The arrivals also brought about distinct twists and some Cryrian flavors in Endertopian culture and languages.
A cease-fire was signed at the dawn of the 15th century. What followed was a period of uncertainty, where both side speculated on the next big conflict. In 1458 AD, the news of a coup d'état in Actrosis stunned people all over, this turned out to be a show put on by the Actrosis government itself. The Kingdom of Actrosis accused the Endery League of secretly helping with the coup and quickly doubled down and started another military campaign. This is considered the start of the second Endre-Actrosis War, also known as the Endertopian War. The fake coup came to be known as the Alibi Revolution.
 
=== The First Endertopian War ===
During the cease-fire, the Asendavian descendants of the Endery League reached out to other countries such as [[Cryria]] and [[Asendavia]] for military assistance. With the improved arsenal, the moral high ground of not having started the war and the close cooperation between the elves and the humans, the Endery League pushed eastwards. The Siege of Clover was one of the fiercest fights in the entire Endertopian history, with Actrosis' 7th Army holding the line vigorously, Endery League finally took the city after 9 months of relentless fighting. The city of Clover (now Cloveraffe) is located right in the center of the land and acts as a major transportation hub for both the war efforts of the past and the national trade of the present. With control of the city, Endery League has secured a strategically advantageous position, and with it they can safely push both the north and the south fronts without having to worry about supplies. The Endery League advanced north to Kafkaland in 1506, and south to Portine in 1508, controlling the sea around the failing Actrosis Kingdom. The Kingdom of Actrosis effectively surrendered and offered peace in 1518.
 
===Qifeiyan Treaty &= The finalSpark expeditions====
In the spring of 1072, a group of Endrian loggers were captured when they were caught logging in Nito territories. They would later be executed. Some small-scale conflicts would quickly spiral out of control. With this a war between Endria and Nito sprang into action. The Kingdom of Endria scored some initial success in battles, but it quickly devolved into a standstill when fights pushed on to the northern Skywynne Mountains. Still, frequent rather small scale fights were somewhat common in the area, wearing down both party as time dragged on. In addition, naval blockade set up by Nito, aided by their supply of wood and experienced nekomimi sailors, made reinforcement particularly difficult for Endria.
After the war, King Moldolve II of the Kingdom of Actrosis met up with the 18 tribe leaders in the Qifeiyan Palace on December 20, 1520. The Qifeiyan Treaty was signed, agreeing on one united Federation that "shall accept all precious souls, no matter their forms." 12 days later, on the first day of 1521, the 18 tribe leaders and human representatives gathered in Starynwale, announcing the foundation of the Federation of Endertopias.
 
==== Iferian involvement ====
With the days of terrible wars now in the history books, and with new methods of traversing mountainous terrains, the final teams of expeditionists set off for the unknown once again. In 1580 AD, they reached the borders of Veria in the far west, the modern city of Tenshily in the northeast, and the Mel River in the south that would separate Endertopias from [[Gransrik]], finalizing the borders of Endertopias as it is today.
After multiple failed Endrian attempts to seize the strategically important Kiwo Valley, King Morleylan of Ifer decided to capitalize on this conflict and led his army eastward. Within just a few weeks, Morleylan's army has made significant advancement across the open plains of Endria.
 
==== PoliticalUnion reformsof the East ====
This surprise move shocked both Endria and Ifer, the former under big trouble and the latter fearing the over-empowering of Ifer should they control the vast lands of Endria. In the fall of 1096, Prince Lukane Lethmian of Endria led a small force and set off for Nito's capital to negotiate on behalf of his kingdom. The two kingdoms had common ground, and the talks were fruitful.
After the foundation of Endertopias, the Federation functioned under the National Assembly, made up of the original 18 tribal leaders. With the entirety of the Endertopian plains now in control, the 18 Endery tribes effectively had control over all elves and other species. A limited democracy was practiced, where elections are held to re-elect the members of the National Assembly every year, but such elections are still done in the old tribal ways: in the middle of the tribe, with people counting the number of hands raised. Despite the elves' rule without major issues or discrimination, humans' voices were unheard in the National Assembly. Over the course of the 16th and 17th century, pressure from the general public pushed the National Assembly to do a complete overhaul of the political system. In response to the calls, the National Assembly opened new seats to non-elven states, however, the process was slow, and seats held by the elves were still the majority.
 
The Union Treaty of Endria and Nito was signed on November 17, 1096, in which the two kingdoms agree to a ceasefire and work together against Ifer.
As the population grows in number, the elven leadership showed its problems, just tribal thoughts were not sufficient to develop a nation of this scale. To many, humans and elves alike, modernizations in both the political and economical systems is what's needed by the country. In 1703, a group of reformists sneaked into the National Assembly building at night and set up camps there, preventing further meetings from taking place. After several unsuccessful attempts to break the lockdown, the members of the National Assembly agreed to a deliberation with the reformists 2 weeks later. The Starynwale Compromise was made, and the National Assembly was abolished. The new Endertopian Assembly would take its place, along with the Skynesses' Court and a new president figure. The leader of the original National Assembly, Nari Ermusai, became the first president of Endertopias. The first election was held 3 months after.
 
Lukane's force returned to Endria three weeks after, heavily damaged, and the Prince was no longer. The killer was unknown at the time and many Endrian royals believed it was done by the nekomimis of Nito. Neverthenonetheless, the cooperative King Lethmian forced them to stick it, and the Union went forth. Later studies concluded that the assassination was, in fact, fabricated by opposing Endrian nobility in order to divide the Union.
==Geography and climate==
Endertopias is located in northern [[Novaris]], with most of the land having a temperate climate, the southern cities of Maberg and Watsonville have warmer winters then their northern counterparts, it usually doesn't snow in the south. The northernmost major city, Nortilus, and nearby settlement Seastar Lagoon are famous for their glacier landscapes. There are three major mountain ranges in Endertopias: the Skywynne Mountains, the Flameflower Mountains, and the Melland Mountains, all of which are located in the west. The highest point of the country is the Sorarian Peak of the Skywynne Mountains, at 6628 m AMSL.
 
==== Incursion ====
The newly assembled Union army, with all its resources and sea access, proved superior to the Iferian. Endrian army launched the first counterattack against Ifer in May of 1097, while they fought to take back the plain, in the Northern theatre, the Nitonian elves and nekomimis attempted to smash right through the mountain valleys. Fighting was especially brutal on the northern fronts, where both sides ambushed each other continuously amid the mountains and forests.
 
==== Unification ====
After years of battle, in 1106, Endrian armies managed to break through the Iferian defense and wrap around to converge with the northern front. The Iferian troops, now surrounded, fought fiercely but still had to fall back. The Battle of Iferia began in 1108 and ended three years later. On the 5th of May, 1111, the Kingdom of Ifer fell, its king slain, and its land was split between Nito and Endria.
 
===== The Play =====
Years of war and the tragic, unresolved loss of his son had taken their tolls on King Lethmian, who passed away in 1113. The opposition voices previously silenced by late King Lethmian sprang back into life as they took power, along with the death of Lukane, into their own hands.
 
Cruel fighting of the northern front has diminished Nito's power, and it was about to show. Troops rolled into Nito's territory in February of 1114, and despite Nito's fighting back and some supporters of Lethmian rallying against the operation, the King of Nito was captured and executed in 1120. With that, the Tristate was successfully united under the banner of the Kingdom of Endria.
 
=== The Transition ===
The time after the unification saw the elves and nekomimis once again repressed. Luckily for them, voices in support of better treatments of non-humans, albeit curbed by the downfall of the Lethmians, remained a part of Endria's upper class. With time, the increasing divide between both sides grew apparent. The Lethmians started regaining its former power and influence, especially in regions near Nito and Ifer, towards the west, all while remaining largely loyal to the Kingdom.
 
=== The Redemption War ===
Over the course of the next centuries, more elves and nekomimis arrived in Endria and the lands of the Lethmians. The balance of power gradually shifted to the west. In 1436, the Kingdom army rolled up to the Lethmians' doorstep, this marked the beginning of the Redemption War of the Lethmian to retake their throne.
 
The Church of Endria stayed mostly out of this conflict and left it up to the two royal families to sort themselves out. The Lethmian army, with the help of the local population, pulled ahead after years of fighting. The ruling Kingdom of Endria eventually conceded defeat in November of 1488, and the leader of the resistance, Valivia Lethmian, ascended the throne and became Queen of Endria in January 12th, 1489, starting a new era of the Kingdom.
 
=== The Second Endertopian War ===
The period of time following the Redemption War was a time of relative stability for the Kingdom. Under the rule of the Lethmians, the relationship between the human, elven, and nekomimi populations remained largely stable but increasingly precarious. While Endria was not directly involved in the Northern Containment War, it would drastically alter its course of history. The Endertopian Church, collaborating with the Cryrians, initiated a coup on Nov 17, 1835 in what is now considered the start of the Second Endertopian War.
 
King Leopold Lethmian was able to escape his palace and flee westwards with his Loyalist. In the western major city of Eyjafyalland, revolts and fighting occured between the Loyalist and the Church. Within days, revolts have spread to all three states of Endria. In December of the same year, after fierce fighting along the way, Leopold arrived in the fortification in Eyjafyalland.
 
==== The Battle of the North ====
Throughout 1827, the army led by the Church of Endertopias, supported by the Cryrian and the Elven Dissention, a partisan group against the Royal rules. Made substantial gains in the south. Resistance turned into small scale skirmishes that, while losses bloody and results inconclusive, tied down a vast number of the Church's unit. With the south at a standstill, the Church sought to march northwards. In Mar 3, 1828, after a series of advancements in the west part of the Kingdom, the Church organized the 1st and 3rd Armies in a large attack on the important citadel. Should the city fall, the Loyalist would be forced into the northern mountain ranges, where their hopes of reorganizing are slim. The Battle of the North saw just over three months of fighting and was the largest and most decisive battle of the war. On Jun 9, after multiple failed attempts to break through, a counterattack was successful, and the Church Armies retreated after having sustained considerable damage.
 
==== The Flameflower Alliance ====
After the defeat at Eyjafyalland, the faith of the Church Army and the Elven Dissention was shook greatly. The now reformed Endrian Army sought to exploit this. King Leopold's diplomatic mission was a success, and the Elven Dissention would announce their dissolution in Jan 1829, some of its former fighters joining the ranks of the Loyalist Endrian Army. With the loss at the North, withdrawal of the elves' help, and Cryria's increasing turmoil in the greater Northern Containment War, the fighting abilities of the Church led armies were greatly diminished.
 
The following years would see the Loyalist slowly pushing back. The Endrian Army would take the northeast in 1831, and on July 4th, 1833, the Battle of Starynwale sealed the deal with a loyalist victory.
 
==== The Proclamation of the Federation ====
On July 28th, 1833, two simultaneous addresses to the public were made. King Leopold at Palace Lily in the capital Starynwale and Queen Charlotte at the Castle of Eyjafyalland, now rechristened Palace Patchouly.
 
=== Modern Era ===
After the conclusion of the Second Endertopian War, King Leopold was reported to have had enough and been considering abdicating. After much deliberations, a compromise was made. King Leopold Lethmian would abdicate and retire from his throne, the Kingdom of Endria would be succeeded by the new Federation of Endertopias with Leopold serving as the first Prime Minister and temporarily appointing the first members of the Enderhalls. After the transitional period, Leopold would go on to resign from politics and become the new head of the Endertopian Church. The Lethmian family would remain a household name and in control of the Church and -- to a lesser degree -- politics.

===Mountains===
 
====The Flameflower Pass====
The Flameflower Pass is a narrow stretch of land sandwiched between two mountain ranges that are collectively called the Flameflower Mountains. The mountain pass connects two major cities, Eyjafyalland and Ifriti.

===Waterways===
The Angelina River has two branches, with one originating from the Flameflower Mountains, and the other from the Skywynne Mountains. The two brachesbranches join to form the longest and most important river in the country. The Angelina River meets the ocean at Starynwale, nurturing the capital as it developed over the years.
 
==Politics and government==
 
===Government===
Endertopias is a Federal Parliamentary Republic. Despite that, the powers of the monarch of the Kingdom of Endria is still somewhat present in the form of the Endertopian Church of Ademar (ECA), headed by previous royalties, namely the Lethmian. Two of Endertopias' constituencies, the Crowned Republic of Iferia and the Northern Counties, are both Constitutional Monarchies. This has led some people to suggest that the leader of the ECA, chosen in an internal voting process, functions as a ceremonial leader of Endertopias, a union of monarchies, therefore the country could also be viewed as a Federal Monarchy.
Endertopias is a Federal Parliamentary Republic, the current president is John Bourke, who holds little actual power. The Enderhalls is a bicameral parliament. The upper house, the Skynesses' Court, consists of 128 seats, with each of the Endertopias' 32 states assigned 4 seats. The members of the Skynesses' Court is elected regionally under the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote single transferable vote] system of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation proportional representation]. The 14 states that originated from the 18 Endery tribes must elect at least two elf out of the four seats, ensuring that at least 28 seats are represented by elves. The lower house, the Endertopian Assembly, consists of 651 seats that are elected on a national basis, also under a system of proportional representation. The prime minister is further elected by members of the Assembly. There is no additional rules on species in the Endertopian Assembly. The Skynesses' Court is typically elected every 12 years, while the Endertopian Assembly is elected every 4 years along with the president. Should members of the Skynesses' Court retire or be ejected for any reasons, make-up elections are to be held alongside the Endertopian Assembly General Election. There is no term limits, but members of both houses that are over the age of 75 shall retire.
 
While constituencies have their own parliaments, the Enderhalls is the legislative body of the Federation and possesses the power to overrule certain regional laws. The Enderhalls consists of two houses, the Hallowl (Hall of the Sky) and the Hallerth (Hall of the Land). The Hallowl contains 36 seats evenly divided between the three states. All members of the Hallowl is elected by plurality block voting, though there is no laws on the type of elections required. 6 out of 12 seats of New Endria is directly chosen by the Endertopian Church, under the control of the Lethmians. A simple majority with at least one vote for from all three constituencies is needed for bills to pass, and an 18-18 draw is considered a pass.
Postal voting services are available to all citizens on demand.
 
The lower chamber, Hallerth, consists of 651 seats. The method of election varies, states of New Endria including Starynwale elect a total of 414 seats by instant-runoff voting; the Northern Counties elect 130 seats with plurality block voting, while Iferia fills 107 seats with proportional representation. Members of the Hallerth are elected to four-year terms, including the Prime Minister, elected within the Hallerth by instant-runoff voting.

With the abolishment of the National Assembly, the new federal government took a more active stance towards other nations, establishing positive ties with other countries like [[Cryria]] based on historical ties such as religion and descendance. Following the International Presence Act of 2021, Endertopias applied for memberships of the International forum and the League of Novaris.

==Culture and religion==
 
===Religion Military ===
Main article (WIP): [[Endertopian Armed Forces]]
Endertopias has no official religion and the government operates without influences from any religions. Traditional Endery tribal religions are still practiced in some areas, and the first adventurers of Asendavia brought along with them [[Ademarism]]. The Church of Exusia near the borders of Veria and [[Gransrik]] is the center of Ademarism in the country. According to surveys, 31% of Endertopians practice Ademarism.
 
The Endertopian Armed Forces comprises the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and the Eclipse Special Tactics Team. Historically, it has been referred to as the Enderton Army, some say for brevity reasons. Less commonly, it is referred to by the ceremonial name, Komirian Army, so named after a legendary figure General Komi. The Endertopian Armed Forces currently has just over 100,000 active personnel, with roughly 250,000 in reserve. A three-month basic military training is compulsory, though it can be replaced by other social work. The majority of personnel is voluntary and professional.
===Home of the Wine===
 
The Endery tribes were great enjoyers and makers of alcohol, which makes for an alcohol-loving culture with a legal drinking age as low as 16. Traditional Endery Wine is well-loved by the Endertopian public, and the Brewery Association of Endertopias is actively promoting the wine to the international market.
Endertopias imports most of its arm from aboard, with Cryria again being a major supplier. The Federation has also developed weapons and technologies in-house, focusing on relatively simple and effective equipment for asymmetrical warfare, especially missiles and projectiles.
 
==Culture, religion, and demography==
 
=== Demography ===
The population of Endertopias is estimated to be 32.76 million (2022). Of which 4.41 million lives within the City of Starynwale, and 16.44 million lives in the rest of New Endria, for a total of 20.85 million (63.6%). The Crowned Republic of Iferia and the Northern Counties is home to 5.37 and 6.54 million people, respectively.
 
In terms of species, the Federation as a whole is 60% human, 27% elf, and 12% nekomimi. This number is consistent in the capital of Starynwale. New Endria has a higher human percentage of 78%, while Iferia has a higher share of elves at 49%, and most nekomimis live in the Northern Counties, where they account for 39% of the population. Despite these regional differences, the levels of economic development does not vary widely between the three lands. Differences between the cities and countryside of each land is way more apparent.
 
===Religion===
Endertopias has no official religion and government operations are by law separate from religions. Ademarism was first brought in by Asendavian immigrants and cemented later by Cryrians. The Endertopian Church of Ademar is headed by Osterik Lethmian, a member of the former Endrian royalty. Other polytheistic religions of elves are widely practised especially in Iferia. There is also an increasing part of irreligious population.
 
==Economy==
The Endertopian economy has a GDP of just overroughly $1.2 trillion. The government places great emphasis on the tourism and high-tech industries, the domestic wine industry is also on the rise. And the country's vast boreal forest also makes for great woods for export, but the lumbering industry is on a downward trend due to tightening environmental regulations.
