History
NOTE: (NEW STUFF INCOMING)
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.
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. It is, however, a designated national park, and development in the area is strictly regulated. The pass got its name from the fiery red flowers that bloom every summer, painting the entire landscape with the color of passion.
The Skywynne Mountains
Home to the highest peak of the country and one of the highest mountains of the continent, the Sorarian Peak, the Skywynne Mountains was an unsurmountable barrier to the original Expeditionists. Today, it separates Nortilus's unique landscapes from the rest of the country while allowing for travel between the regions.
The Melland Mountains
Located in the south, the Melland National Park is home to the most number of species in Endertopias.
Waterways
The Angelina River has two branches, with one originating from the Flameflower Mountains, and the other from the Skywynne Mountains. The two braches 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.
Politics and government
Government
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 single transferable vote system of 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 president will sign and acknowledge newly passed bills, and the president or the prime minister may make important announcements in the palace. Foreign diplomats and important visitors also meet government officials in the palace. In addition, the Qifeiyan Palace is also open to the public at all times, even providing accommodation for travelers.
Foreign policies
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located in the city of Tenshily, headed by Foreign Affairs Minister Rushiana Correia.
In light of the Endertopian War, the National Assembly had practiced isolationism in order to stabilize the situation. 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 League of Novaris.
Law enforcement
The Endertopian Police handles all ordinary police businesses. In more serious and important missions they may be accompanied by the Eclipse Special Operation Team, which is a distinct branch of the Endertopian military. The most severe punishment according to Endertopian laws is death, though it is very rarely practiced in civilian contexts. Following the Souls' Rights Act of 2018, same-sex marriages are legally recognized. Euthanasia is legal under the condition that the patient is conscious and makes an informed decision, or in cases where the patient is unconscious, the family makes an informed decision. The acts of euthanasia are to be performed only by the government-approved Euphornasia Institute.
The legal drinking age in Endertopias is 16.
Military
The Komiria Army of Endertopias was founded alongside the original Endery League. It was restructured after the foundation of Endertopias. Conscription was the preferred method of recruitment before it was abolished for an all-voluntary system in 1720. At the height of the conscription era, the EKA peaked at around 185,000 personnel, with a reserve force of 150,000. At the present, the Komiria has a total of 85,000 active personnel and around 100,000 reserve troops. The Komiria is governed by the Komirian Council, a special council consisting of the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, and various generals of the Kassachama. It may be called during wartime by a 2/3 majority vote of the Parliament.
The EKA consists of five main branches, the Army (EKA), the Navy (EKN), the Air Force (EKF), the Eclipse Special Operation Team (EKE), and the Endertopian Coast Guard (ECG). The EKA's total funding is currently around 13 billion SHD per year.
Culture and religion
Religion
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 Gräntierik is the center of Ademarism in the country. According to surveys, 31% of Endertopians practice Ademarism.
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.
Economy
The Endertopian economy has a GDP of just over $1 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 forest also makes for great woods for export, but the lumbering industry is on a downward trend due to tightening environmental regulations.
