'''Volscina''' ([[Arkian]]: Arkeland), officially the '''ArkianVolscine Empire''' or '''Empire of ArkalariusVolscina''' (Arkian[[Norvian]]: ArkesL'Impero ReichVolscino), is a country located in west [[Novaris]]. It borders [[KarolingiaCavellan]] to the East, [[Durakia]] through [[RiesigfelsenIetracia]], and shares maritime borders with [[Durakia]], [[NordenpuntoAponivia]], [[VarleuteicheVarletia]], the [[VeriaVarentine League]], and [[Cryria]]. Covering an area of 2,059,878.512 square kilometers, it lies mostly on the Arkian Peninsula, sitting next to the [[Pacific Ocean]], it lies between the [[Arkian Sea]] to the north and the [[Arkian Channel]] to the south.

Various groups and tribes have inhabited modern day Arkalarius ever since sentient species crossed over the landbridge from Yasteria. For a time, most of modern day Arkalarius was controlled by [[Tretrid]] under the name of [[Tretridian West Novaris]]. With the colonial ventures of [[Norgsveldet]], [[Asendavia]], and later [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]], colonial Arkalarius became a culturally diverse trading haven, which resulted in a unique regional culture, commonly cited as a key cause behind the [[Arkian Revolutionary War]]. Before the federation that fought in the Revolutionary War formed, the Arkian peninsula was a diverse mix of colonial holdings and charters, all made up of hundreds of smaller noble states. These states persist still, giving Arkalarius its unique confederal makeup. Post Arkian independence, the nation saw gradual support for democracy, and upon the death of the first and only King of Arkalarius, [[Johann von Freyaelv]], the heir to the throne [[Johann II von Freyaelv]] abdicated in favor of a democracy, later being elected as the nation's second President. As the newly democratic Volscine Confederation of Arkalarius rose in power, it quickly came into conflict with the dominant power in Novaris, the [[Tretrid|Kingdom of Tretrid]]. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries ArkalariusVolscina and Tretrid would enterentered a series of conflicts, and although no true decisive winner was found, ArkalariusVolscina steadily grew in size and power, eventually annexing the formerlydisputed Tretridian territory of [[SchlesiaSeccera]] in the final TretridoVolscino-ArkianTretridian war. ArkalariusVolcsina joined the [[Great War]] on the side of [[Asendavia]], and throughout the conflict anti-Tretridian sentiment grew to a point even higher than in the series of 19th century conflicts between the two nations. The Great War ended with no decisive winner, and although it took some time for Arkian troops to leave Tretridian soil, there was no further escalation until the TretridoVolscino-ArkianTretridian Cold War (henceforth "Cold War"). The Cold War was a major political conflict between ArkalariusVolscina and Tretrid, one which only escalated further as both nations expanded their influence and political power. Eventually, this resulted in a nuclear arms race. The Cold War is commonly agreed to have ended in Tretridian favor in 2002, when the [[ArkianVolscine Civil War]] broke out.
