===North Ethalrian Republic and since===
==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 [[Durentria]], 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]].
