'''Joralesia''' (/hoɹaliːʒia/), also known as '''Tornaland''' (<small>[[Ethalrian language|Ethalrian]]</small>: /tɔʁnalant/) is a [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian Overseas Territory]] located on the northern coast of Hayaneste, [[Gondwana]]. It has an area of 33,247.2 km² (12,836.8 sq mi) and a population of 5.8 million in 2023. Ewising, it's capital city, sits on the Joralesian Strait and is a primary hub for oceanic trade between the [[Cerenerian Ocean|Cerenerian]] and [[Concordian Ocean|South Concordian Ocean]]. Decidious forests occupy the [[Wikipedia:Oceanic climate|oceanic climate]] in the west, whilst [[Wikipedia:Taiga|taiga]] sprawls the larger [[Wikipedia:Subarctic climate|subrotantic climate]] in the east.
 
[[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]] famously discovered Hayaneste in 1499 when explorer Waltraud Vogel landed in Tornales, what is today Brahzbühl. Though Ethalria was the first to explore the island, a descended [[Impelanzan]] population had been living on the north and west coasts for millennia, where it was considered the final frontier of western expansion by [[New Leganes#Impelanza|ancient Impelanza]]. Auroran settlement began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, bringing primarily Ethalrians, but later other ethnicities. Tornaland was founded in 1540 and was an integral piece of the Ethalrian trading network. At the conclusion of the [[Posolic Wars]] in 1826, Tornaland was one of several Ethalrian colonies ceded to the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] where it was thenceforth known as Joralesia.
'''Joralesia''' (pronounced: ''Hora-Leesia'') is the largest [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlian Overseas Territory]] on mainland [[Gondwana]], its five provinces stretch an area of 304,016 square kilometers. Joralesia borders [[Aivintis]] to the east. Joralesia's capital and largest city is Ewising, the next three biggest metropolitan areas are Bruzraka, Burdels and New Montinay.
 
Various indigenous peoples inhabited what is now Joralesia for thousands of years before Auroran colonisation. Beginning in the 17th century, Morstaybishlian and [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrian]] expeditions explored and later settled along the east coast. As a consequence of the [[Posolic Wars]], Ethalria ceded all of its colonies in Gondwana in 1826.
 
Joralesia is the second biggest territory on Gondwana to have been controlled by an [[Aurora|Auroran]] colonial power at any point in history. In 2015, Joralesia had a population of 45.6 million and that is projected to increase by almost 6 million in five years.
 
Joralesia is a geographical stunning region, comprising of temperate deciduous forests and taiga. Large carnivorous mammals such as leopards and bears dominate the food chain. Living in the taiga are also moose, saiga antelope, lemmings, a variety of owls such as the great horned owl and snow owl, beavers, badgers, sheep and a plethora of other animal species.
 
Joralesia's economy is based largely on tourism, shipping, agricultural machinery, textiles and hoisery. Ethnicity is split predominantly between Ethalrian and Staynish, which also reflects the political landscape. Since the 1950s there has been a movement for Tornaland independence away from the [[Great Morstaybishlia|MBE]], which saw violence from the 1970s until early 2000s. This violence was revived with the [[2021 Joralesian attacks]] and subsequent [[2021 Joralesian riots]].
