Nisserige, (Nisser: Die Republik Nisserige), officially the Republic of Nisserige, is a country in Northern Concord. Nisserige is situated between the Jotunheimen Mountain Range to its northeast and the Concordian Sea to its southwest; it has a population of roughly 15 million within its 11 constituent regions. Nisserige borders Kaldrbuth to its Northwest, East Atlalandr to its North, and South Hills to its south. The nation’s capital, most populous city, and main financial center is Grünefeld; the largest urban area is Franmark.
Various Nisser Tribes have existed in the Nisser Cradle since classical antiquity. A region named Nisser, roughly in the same location as modern day Nisserige, was documented prior to the beginning of the common era. In the early 900s, the Kingdom of Rothweld formed the bulk of the northern part of the region, spanning from the coastline to the Jotunheimen Mountains. The following centuries would see a period of growth for the Rothweld Kingdom and royal family as they absorbed smaller kingdoms in the region. Eventually, in 1278, the Nisser region would be unified after the marriage between King Aschwin II and Queen Alberta IV which united the Kingdom of Rothweld and the Kingdom of Bertille into the Kingdom of Nisser. Between 1399 and 1424, a period of internal conflict occurred after a succession crisis when the final member of the House of Wendelgard died without an heir. When the crisis came to an end, the Leonhard noble family was instituted as the new royal family for the Kingdom.
The founding of the modern day Republic of Nisserige was declared on August 14th, 1772 when Nisser Revolutionaries officially declared their sovereignty against the Kingdom of Nisser in the Anselm Papers. After declaring their sovereignty, the Revolutionaries established a short-lived confederation which politically and militarily connected several militia groups around the Kingdom for the sake of the revolution. In 1782, the confederation would be replaced with the Republic of Nisserige via the Ratification of the Nisser Constitution, which laid the legal foundations of the modern Republic. The Early Republic faced many challenges during its growth including unfriendly neighbors, in the form of the Queendom of Kaldrbuth and the Kingdom of Atlalandr, and war debts. During the second Industrial Revolution, the Republic changed considerably economically and politically as new legislation attempted to keep up with the nation’s rapid growth. The nation’s growth would come to a halt in the early 20th century due to the Depression of 1921, which was caused mainly by blockades from the Great War and political oversight. The depression directly caused the rise of the Communist Party in Nisserige, which took an opposing stance to the White Hat Party’s laissez faire approach to economics. After a stringent series of economic plans, the Communist Party successfully pulled Nisserige out of a depression. In 1957, the Communist Party would collapse from inter-party disagreements, marking the end of communist rule in Nisserige.
Nisserige is a middle power with a stable economy. Its main sectors include agribusiness and the mining of rare urth metals. As a developed country, Nisserige offers social security and welfare, a universal healthcare system, environmental protections, and a tuition-free university education, most of which were implemented in the mid 20th century. Nisserige is a member of the International Forum and holds a significant number of cultural heritage sites.
