'''Endertopias''', formally known as the '''Federation of Endertopias''', is a country located in northern [[Novaris]]. It borders [[Gräntierik]] and [[Veria]] to the south and the southeast, respectively;, it also shares border withand [[Kelamí League]] to the north, and. [[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.

=== Prehistoric ===
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.
 
=== Age of Conquest ===
Line 27:
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.
 
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 northernlynorthern land of Nito.
 
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.
 
=== The First Endertopian War ===
 
==== The Spark ====
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.
 
==== TurntableIferian involvement ====
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 fieldsplains of Endria.
 
==== Union!!! of 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.
 
Line 63:
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 non-human 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 Endertopiasthe Kingdom.
 
=== The NewSecond AgeEndertopian Wara ===
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 Lethmians were once again overthrown, this time by the plot of the Endrian Church with Cryrian support, residing King Leopold Lethmian managed to flee westwards, starting the Second Endertopian War.
In the aftermath of the war, Queen Valivia granted lands back to the elves and nekomimis in the historical land of Nito and Ifer. Lethmian family members were appointed to continue watching over the land, but it was largely autonomous. The new Kingdom of Endria, for the first time, saw a stable rule and prosperity.
 
The following centuries would see continued elven and nekomimi immigration from Cryria, flocking to the western territories under the direct but lenient control of the ruling Lethmians. The Kingdom also made efforts to secure its foreign relationships, especially that with Cryria. It was this effort that led Endria to its height of Ademarism adaptation, and Cryrian-influenced Ademarism is still one of the largest religions practiced today in the Endertopias.
 
As time went on, the legislative body Enderhalls started to gain more power and the country started to move away from absolute monarchy.
 
==== Federation ====
In the 19th century, calls to revolutionize the political system began, the opposition called for reforms to the Enderhalls for better regional representation. Elves and nekomimis of the west also jumped on the bandwagon and called for more power and representation of their regions. Poor harvests at the time only exasperated the situation.
 
The movement began on March 25th, 1821. The king eventually caved in to the requests in order to keep his position.
 
A new constitution was enacted and with it the Federation of Endertopias was born on the 9th of January, 1830. The Federation comprise three kingdoms, Endria, Nito, and Iferia. Despite the Kingdom of Endria still existing and being the largest constituency, the king's power is largely taken away.
 
=== Modern Era ===
After the conclusion of the Second Endertopian War, King Leopold had thoughts of retiring from politics. 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 until today.
As time went further along, all three kingdoms underwent sweeping societal and political changes. Endria gradually shifted to exist only in name as the influence of the monarch faded, though the Church maintains the kingdom's identity through its limited, but tangible powers. The Kingdom of Iferia was succeeded by the Crowned Republic. Nito would become known as a backcronym, the Northern Counties.

===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.
 
===Home of the Wine===
The original Endertopian people were great enjoyers and makers of alcohol. The climate of the Endertopian south is good and makes for an alcohol-loving culture with a legal drinking age as low as 16. Traditional wine from the Anfissa region is well-loved by the Endertopian public, and the Brewery Association of Endertopias is actively promoting Endertopian wine to the international market.
