'''The Confederation of Kostromastan''', commonly known as [[Kostromastan]], was a landlocked nation that existed on the continent of [[Aurora]] that bordered [[Baykalia]] to the north, [[Tuvaltastan]] to the south, [[Thalria]] to the west, and [[Great Morstaybishlia]] to the northwest. As of 2015, the nation had a nominal GDP per capita of $14,425 and an estimated population of 20,003,248. The largest city [[Novgorod]] held 4,768,513 individuals prior to its dissolution. The last nation to host the capital, [[Nolova]], had a population of 1.2 million people when including its metropolitan area as of the [[2018 Summit on the Political Status of Kostromastan|2018 Summit]].
 
The history of Kostromastan is greatly intertwined with its neighbors [[Baykalia]] and [[Tuvaltastan]], and goes back as far as 1,700 B.C.E., beginning with the Ancient Kostuvians and their large empire that encompassed much of central and eastern Aurora and a number of small islands north and south of the continent, as well as part of what is now modern-day Dragonia. The [[Kostuvian Empire]] existed in various forms for just over a millenium, and fell in 668 BCE. The cultural successor to the empire became [[Salovia|The Grand Monarchy of Salovia]] in 12 A.D after a long period of antiquity. Salovia existed for nearly two thousand years until the nation broke out into a deadly [[Salovian Civil War|civil war]]. Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia would replace what remained territorially of the nation.
 
Since the Treaty of Astravili in 2005 ended the Salovian Civil War, Kostromastan was established as a temporary solution to the diverse factions that inhabited central Salovia. A growing political and cultural divide within the group of nations would slowly reach a tipping point of indecision, when the 2018 Summit was held to discuss the future of the confederation. Although no solution was reached during the summit, the consensus was that the status quo of a confederation would no longer suffice, and as such the nation was given "failed state" status, with the political factions dividing amongst themselves. The nations Astra and Tula would be absorbed by Tuvaltastan in a joint move to maintain stability in the region, and [[Nolova]] would gain independence and establish itself as the successor to Kostromastan within the [[UNAC]].
