'''Esteira''', officially the '''Republic of Esteira''' ({{wp|Portuguese|Esteiran}}: ''República da Esteira''), is a country in northwest [[Gondwana]], bordered by [[Vaklori]] to the north, the [[Federation of Bana]] to the south, the [[The Danvreas|Danvreas]] to the east, and a maritime border with [[Tavaris]] to the west. A highly centralized state, the country is divided into 10 [[Departments of Esteira|departments]] (''departamentos'') and the Capital District of [[Porto Verde]], the country's largest city. It covers an area of 409,781 square kilometers (158,217 sq mi) and has a population of nearly 30 million. {{Wp|Portuguese|Esteiran}} is the national language, and the indigenous Selvan and Povosi languages are regionally recognized in the departments with significant populations.

 

==Etymology==

The name "Esteira" is purported to mean "those on the western edge" in the early Esteiran language, referring to the people who lived on the western edge of the Danvreas Plateau. As the indigenous population was pushed west away from their homeland by orc raids, the Esteirans began referring to the territory they lived on as Esteira. After taking back their territory, the Esteirans began calling the entire area "Esteira."
