Eyjaria, formally The Commonwealth of Eyjaria is an island nation in the North Concordian Ocean that's geographically considered apart of Concord. Eyjaria is a federation consisting of three provinces Eyjarheim, Vest Øy and Sørheim. Eyjaria was first fully invaded and annexed by the Ulvrikian Empire 10 AD, with the establishment of the Duchy of Vistsele, the old name of the Eyjaria region given by the empire, for the Duke ruling it. After the Ulvikrik Empire collapsed in the 500s, Eyjaria was then ruled by the House of Hjelvok, turning the Duchy into a kingdom. Starting the Kingdom of Vistele. After a second large migration of Ulvrikians during 900s, to Eyjaria made the kingdom collapse from the political diffrences in the country, on which several Jarls ruled and competed for land. In 1125 Jarls across Eyjaria a weak confederation called the Jarldom of Eyjaria, on which every Jarl would ellect a "High Jarl" to rule the land. Eyjaria got it's independence from Norgsveldet in 5ht of June 1955, while still recognizing the monarch of Norgsveldet as monarch of Eyjaria. Eyjaria is neighbors with Helslandr in the east and South Hills in the south.

Eyjaria is also an member state of UCA and NCEF, since their founding. It's also the wealthiest nation in Vestrava thanks to its trade routes and large oil industry, despite having the smallest population in the region as well.
