'''North Ethalria''', officially the '''North Ethalrian Republic''' ([[Ethalrian language|Ethalrian]]: ''Nordethalrien Republik Nordkrösenland'') is a landlocked country in [[Aurora|Central Aurora]]. It directly succeeded the provisional [[North Ethalrian Confederacy]] whereby [[Vöhmia]] and [[Kotheria]] transitioned into a unitary state, and is divided into twenty six administrative provinces known as Zuständigkeitsbereichs, covering an area of 757,502 km² (292,473 sq mi). The country is relatively dry, featuring an assortment of climate types, including [[Wikipedia:Tropical savanna climate|tropical savanna]], [[Wikipedia:Semi-arid climate|steppe]], [[Wikipedia:Desert climate|deserts]] and [[Wikipedia:Humid continental climate|humid continental]]. North Ethalria has a population of over 108 million people and is the third-most populous [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent#List of members|member state of the United Nations of the Auroran Continent]]. Karinthus is the nation's capital, but Irvindel is the largest metropolis. Other major cities include Ohmnervel, Arkenvel, Wüller, Zenzdak and Börinstadt.
 
North Ethalria's territory extends from the Bernsteinspur in the south, the [[Bolvinian Plateau]] to the west, the Zloergen mountains of the western Möragu Plateau to the east and Lake Ider to the north. The continents longest continuous river, the Ider River, cuts the Vöhmian region in half from the west to the north-east and is the home of over 35 million Ethalrians. Through the [https://forum.theeastpacific.com/mbc-t3205-s60.html#p218637| Ocean Access Deal], North Ethalria has maritime access to the worlds oceans, and as a result has seen the highest economic boom of the three landlocked [[Ethalns|Ethaln nations]], although its economic prosperity is now considered reliant on the MBE. The country is bordered by [[Staynes]] and [[DurentriaDrakaland]] to the west, [[Faethalria]] and [[Thalria]] to the south and [[Caltharus]] to the north.
 
The history of civilisation in Ethalria spans over ten thousand years. Before [[Wikipedia:Human|humans]] came to dominate the continent, the greater Ethalrian region was settled by various [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprian elf], [[Orc|orc]], human and [[Cava|cava]] peoples and was renowned for its extensive cultural diversity. The Aethals were the dominant society leading up to the [[Wikipedia:Axial Age|Axial Age]], and it is this society that gave Ethalria its name. The establishment of Ethalrian statehood can be traced to 119 BCE with the rule of Sigbert I. By this time, orc and cava peoples had migrated out of the region, and the country flipped between human and elven rule for centuries. The Queendom of Ethalria was founded in 890 following the Arin Coup; after which elves would mostly dissapear. The size of Ethalria in the 2nd millennium would vary from straddling both the [[Bishlan Sea]] and the [[Azure Sea]] to one or the other.
 
Ethalria spread a renewed interest in the humanities, science, exploration and art during the 15th and 16th centuries. Ethalrian culture prospered, producing famous artists, polymaths, and scholars. During the Middle Ages, Ethalrian maritime exploration discovered new routes to [[Gondwana]] and [[Novaris]], piquing a new age of Auroran Discovery and colonialism. Huge sociopolitical reforms from their defeat in the [[Posolic Wars]] in 1826 saw Ethalria dethroned as a world power by Morstaybishlia, saw the end of its colonial empire and saw it transition into a matriarchy; where women came to dominate all aspects of life. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Ethalria rapidly industrialised, creating a vast dispora. Ethalria briefly re-entered as a global power at the conclusion of the [[Great War]] following its reclaimation of [[Marislia]]. In the 1930s1920s, the [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Grand Matriarchy]] hid the [[Marislian genocide]] from the world, systematically murdering and expelling approximately 2.75 million ethnic [[Marish people]]. In 1941, Ethalrian scientists discovered [[Wikipedia:Nuclear fission|nuclear fission]], and in 1953 conducted the world's first nuclear weapons test, Operation Scharlachrote Morgenröte in the [[Azure Sea]]. In 1961, Ethalria sent the first person to space, Almut Fichtner, aboard Sternfinder-1. Ethalria lost the [[Auroran Imperial War]] in 1975 after surrendering to the destruction of [[Kevatuul (Satellite)|Kevatuul]], a nuclear-armed [[Axdel#Noroist Axdel (1969-1996)|NoroistAxdelian]] space weapon that had been comandeered by a Morst-Embertian black op mission. The nuclear destruction of five Ethalrian metropolitan areas resulted in the signing of the [[Cynebury Accord]], banning the weaponisation of space. The Grand Matriarchy entered a civil war when the royal family was executed, ending a two thousand year line of monarchs, and split the country into the [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy]] and the [[Ethalria (Republic)|Republic]] (also known as East Ethalria and West Ethalria). The two Ethalria's were partitioned into six following defeat again in the [[Auroran-PacificCerenerian War]]. Vöhmia and Kotheria were among these nations and went on to form North Ethalria in 2021.
 
Since its founding it is a [[wikipedia:Unitary state|unitary]] [[wikipedia:Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential]] [[wikipedia:Republic|republic]]. Its current president is [[Imrenzie Magolen]]. [[Clauzia Sarohart]] iswas its first president and [[Prime Ministers of Kothalria|Vanessa von der Becke]] its first and current prime minister. The two leaders were previously the [[Prime Ministers of Vothetria|Prime Minister of Vöhmia]] [[Prime Ministers of Kothalria|and Kotheria]] respectively.
 
North Ethalria is a [[Wikipedia:Middle power|middle power]] and an [[Wikipedia:Emerging power|emerging power]]. It is classified as a [[Wikipedia:World Bank high-income economy|high-incomy economy]] by the [[Auroran Central Bank]] and [[Auroran Monetary Fund]], and is Aurora's 4th-largest economy by nominal GDP, at KRB♅1.5 trillion. Alongside the rest of the Ethalns, North Ethalria's predecessor nations experienced an economic recession in 2017 that is still present today. Its economy is primarily [[Wikipedia:Service economy|service]] based, although the country maintains a considerable [[Wikipedia:Secondary sector of the economy|industrial]] production, being a net exporter of things such as chemicals, jewellery, motor vehicles and fabricated metal products. It imports things like oil, cosmetics, fertiliser, food products and specialised components. The North Ethalrian steppe is the densest region for registered goat farms in the world, and exports goat products worldwide. It is a country rich in [[Wikipedia:Moonstone (gemstone)|moonstone]], [[Wikipedia:Sapphire|sapphire]] and other [[Wikipedia:Gemstone|gems]], [[Wikipedia:Natural gas|natural gas]] and other [[Wikipedia:Natural resources|mineral resources]]. North Ethalria is a member of the [[Ethaln League]].
 
==Etymology==
The current name of the country in [[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]] is Ethalria, whilst the name in [[Ethalrian language|Ethalrian]] is EthalrienKrösenland. The Staynish version, used primarily across the world, derives from AethalriaAethalhafen, an [[Wikipedia:Axial Age|axial era]] city-state which came to dominate the Mondsteinstraße (Staynish: ''Moonstone Road''). InEthalrian medievalspeakers Aurora, its people began referringrefer to their countrynation instead as "Ethal landKrösenland"., Thewhich name Ethal itself comes frommeans the early medieval Ethal people which developed from an amalgamation of various migrating [[Cava]] and [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprian] peoples fromKrösnau (the Valeriannative andname Axdelian region; and westward migrating [[Orc|Orcs]] fromof the [[KhermaliIder River]] and other early [[Great Auroran Desert]] settlements, as well as [[Wikipedia:Humans|Human]] peoples from Cereneria).
 
The name Ethal itself comes from the early medieval Aethal people which developed from an amalgamation of various migrating [[Cava]] and [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprian] peoples from the Valerian and Axdelian region; and westward migrating [[Orc|Orcs]] from the [[Khermali River]] and other early [[Great Auroran Desert]] settlements, as well as [[Wikipedia:Humans|Human]] peoples from Cereneria.
 
The Renaissance scholar Imrenzie Anneke proposed that the Old Valerian word ''Aethalria'' evolved from the [[Impelanzan]] word ''Fidesthaeria'', meaning "faith" and "thaer", denoting the growth of the [[Thaerism|Thaerist faith]] in the region. Anneke also discovered literary variation, including Faethalria in the 2nd to 3th centuries.
 
==History==
Ethalria enters written history as a land populated largely by the [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprians], [[Orc|Orcs]], [[Cava|Cavan]] and [[Wikipedia:Human|Humans]] through their various cultures such as the Qruzhari, [[Altfers]], Szols, Marrs, and Dënarut.

Following the eruption of the Toré supervolcano in 512 CE, emerging north and western Auroran states like [[Staynes#Second Maltervenian Era (650 BCE - 512 CE)|Maltervenia]] and Calath collapsed from famine and disease. This left a power vacuum which was inherited by a northward expanding Ethalrian Empireempire. By the end of King Gundahar II's reign in 572, the Ethalrian Empireempire spanned over halfa third of Aurora; from the West[[Morsa Sea uninteruptedLake]] to the [[Bishlan]], then its integral territories in the south from [[Asilica]] to the Zloergen mountains. Sustained wars and other problems led to diminishing power in the monarchy, which continued until 890 when Queen Arin II led a coup d'etat to install a human [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|matriarchy]] that would last a thousand years. Ethalria shrank as its extremities vied for independence, but its consolidated power south of the [[Zycannes]] and [[Bolvinian Plateau]] would later put their focus on becoming a [[Wikipedia:Global empire|global empire]]. Ethalria settled in [[Arcturia]] first with their Lunaberg settlement in 1351, culminating in several colonies at the end of the 16th century. They reached [[Gondwana]] in the early 17th century and [[Novaris]] in the early 18th century. Ethalria became the strongest empire in Aurora, a leading world power for half a century and a considerable oversea empire until 1826.
 
Ethalrian defeat in the [[Posolic Wars|Second Posolic War]] led to colonial and territorial relinquishment in the 1826 Treaty of Rosalica. Most of its colonies were divided by [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlia]] and [[Salovia]], or given independence. Ethalria reemerged as a global power following territorial gains, including [[Marislia]], in the [[Great War]]. Its paved the way in early 20th century military advancements and nuclear descovery. The [[Ethalria (Republic)|Ethalrian Republic]] joined the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]] in 1975 but the [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Ethalrian Matriarchy]] did not. All six [[Ethalns|Ethaln]] states initially joined the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]]; [[Thalria]] was ejected in 2019, and following the formal political unification of [[Vöhmia]] and [[Kotheria]], the North Ethalrian Republic replaced them as a member state.

Modern human settlement in the Ethalns and its vicinity dates back to 32,000 BCE, with evidence of the [[Wikipedia:Solutrean|Vitteck culture]] in the Zloergen Plateau.
 
===War of the cities===
The largest groups inhabiting the Ethalns at the time the Aethals came to sociopolitical power in 119 BCE and thus forming Aethalria as a nation state in the Moonstone Road was the Aethals themselves but also the Szols and Marrs. Under rule of the Aethals on the west bank of the Ider River, the Marrs and Szols inhabited two different parts of the east bank, near Lrau and Kazbech respectively. The Marrs are typically thought of as an earlier culture of the [[Marish people]]; they inhabited much of the northern east bank of the Ider River towards the Bishlan, and the Szols flourished in the south closer to Rivental today. Cava and Orc cultures were primarily eliminated from competition, and the [[Altfers]] were also gradually pushed further into the [[Bolvinian Plateau]], where they reside mostly within the [[Altrintschstatz]] today. Several cities were founded along the river and its tributaries by these early Ethalrian cultures including Aethalhafen, Iderfurt and Lrau. Eventually, Ethalrians expanded inland and struggled for control of fertile farmland against many bellicose inland tribes.

==Geography==
North Ethalria covers an administrative area of 757,502 km² (292,473 sq mi), and is the ninth-largest country in [[Aurora]]. Approximately 754,865 km² (291,455 sq mi) of the country's territory consists of land, the rest making up internal waters, primarily the Krösnau and its tributaries (the Ider River in [[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]]). Topographically, the landscape of North Ethalria is defined by diverse [[Wikipedia:Landform|landforms]], [[Wikipedia:Ecosystem|ecosystems]] and [[Wikipedia:Hydrology|water bodies]].
 
The country has no coastline, but the Krösnau River is a waterway that commercial ships are capable of navigating safely as deep into the landlocked country as Aethalhafen. The Krösnau River flows through the country into the [[Bishlan]] all the way from [[Drakaland]], where it spawns at the foothill-springs of the [[Bolvinian Plateau|Bolvinian mountains]]. Though North Ethalria is landlocked, it has negotiated a lease of the waterways to trade on the open oceans in the [https://forum.theeastpacific.com/mbc-t3205-s60.html#p218637| Ocean Access Deal]. North Ethalria is on the [[Wikipedia:Leeward|leeward]] side of the Bolvinians, and thus has little precipitation per year. Its climate is therefore drier than [[Caltharus]] which is on the [[Wikipedia:Windward|windward]] side. Therefore, tributaries and other river systems exist, but they're sparser than the windward countries, and eject less volume per annum into the oceans.
 
Because North Ethalria is landlocked, the country has no coastline. Historically, the [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria]] had a northern and southern coastline, with several metropolises commanding trade and the seas. The northwestern region of the country straddles the fringes of the [[Bolvinian Plateau]] and the southeastern region is the Zloergen mountains of the western Möragu Plateau. This middleground is very flat, becoming apart of the [[Ethaln Plains]].

The North Ethalrian Armed Forces (''Streitkräfte von Nordethalrien'') are the collective military forces of North Ethalria, under the control of the President as Oberbefehlshaber (supreme commander). They consist of the North Ethalrian Army (''Nordethralische Armee''), North Ethalrian Navy (''Nordethalische Marine''), the North Ethalrian Air Force (''Strategisches Luftkommando''), and the Military Police (''Polizeisoldaten''), which concurrently manages civil police duties in the rural regions of the country. North Ethalria's collective armed forces are a skilled and capable force. Technology from the army, air force and military police are considered modern, however its small brown-water flotilla of river patrol boats and survey vessels are reminisce of pre-[[Auroran Imperial War]] technology.
 
Line 173 ⟶ 183:
The Ethalrian armed forces played a key role in establishing the Ethalrian Empire as a prepotent world power in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. It was defeated by the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] in the [[Posolic Wars]] and the Ethalrian Empire signed a conditional surrender in the Treaty of Rosalica. [[File:NE parade 2022.png|right|thumb|300px|103rd Infantry Division during the Founding Marches.]] For eighty years Ethalria was out as a world power but managed to stay relevant with pioneering military advances, such as repeating rifles with smokeless powder and early contributions to telegraphic battlefield communication. The [[Great War]] prompted quick development of military equipment; the [[Wikipedia:7.7 cm FK 96 n.A.|7.7 cm FK 96 n.A.]] was the first and [[Wikipedia:7.7 cm FK 16|7.7 cm FK 16]] the last artillery pieces Ethalria developed; they also pioneered automatic small arms like the [[Wikipedia:MP 18|MP 17]] at the end of the war. Ethalria was the first in Aurora to develop airplanes and tanks.
 
The first nuclear detonation was conducted in 1953 by Ethalria in the [[Azure Sea]]. It was a [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_weapon_design#Implosion-type|implosion-type]] [[Wikipedia:Plutonium|plutonium]] device codenamed ''Scharlachrote Morgenröte''. In the 1970s, Ethalria's Wulesberg Project was a top secret development of a nuclear-capable satellite bombardment weapon codenamed ''Höllenfeuer'' (literally meaning Hellfire) that would pave the way for the weaponisation of space. It was due to launch on 1 February 1975 with the intent to obliterate [[Sani Bursil]] but Ethalria surrendered after ''Kevatuul'', [[Norograd|Noroist Axdel's]] own nuclear-capable satellite was comandeered by a Morst-Embertian black op mission and laid nuclear siege to RiventalRibenstadt, Karinthus, GlitzerndAnzrelstätt, Rorikton and Wulesberg; the destruction of Wulesberg effectively ended the Wulesberg Project. Following the [[Auroran Imperial War]], the Ethalrian Republic committed to nuclear disarmament whilst the Ethalrian Matriarchy did not. Due to a policy of nuclear disarmanent of the [[Ethalns]] by [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia]] following the [[Auroran-PacificCerenerian War]], North Ethalria inherited no nuclear weapons.
 
Today, North Ethalria's military technology is expanded upon by the blueprints and works of both Ethalria's that preceded it. The Howitzer I is the main battle tank; the army utilises an array of armoured fighting vehicles like the [[Wikipedia:FNSS Pars|Großerlöwe]], [[Wikipedia:M110 howitzer|M110 howitzer]], [[Wikipedia:Mowag Piranha|Panzerjäger]] and [[Wikipedia:9K35 Strela-10|Königskobra-5]]. The [[Wikipedia: Streyr AUG|Pfeil AUG]] is the standard issue assault rifle and [[Wikipedia:Axdel Armed Forces#Small Arms|Alkurmeda AP-1]] the standard issue pistol.

===Transport===
[[File:KLIA MTB&Tower.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Karinthus International Airport has three landing strips and is the second biggest airport in the [[Ethalns]] behind RiventalRibenstadt (which has four landing strips) by passenger traffic.]]
As a central Auroran country that encompasses most of the north Mondsteinstraße, an old trade route linking north Aurora to the south; North Ethalria is a transport hub for the continent, with a road and rail network that is among the densest in Aurora. Paved roads stretch for over 780,229 kilometers (484,811 mi). Major routes, marked with the letter 'F' for 'Fahrbahn' (''[[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]]: Roadway''), extends across the nation and connects all of the major cities of North Ethalria, as well as linking to other major cities across the rest of the [[Ethalns]]; but also provides cross-border routes to other non-Ethaln neighbours. The Zugverbindungslinie (ZL) train network provides North Ethalrian cities as well as other neighbouring countries with speeds of up to 300 km/h (190 mph).
