'''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]]. 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 [[
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.

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 [[
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]].
