'''North Ethalria''', officially the '''North Ethalrian Republic''' ([[Ethalrian language|Ethalrian]]: ''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]].

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.

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.
