'''Volscina''', officially the '''Volscine Empire''' or '''Empire of Volscina''' ([[Norvian]]: L'Impero Volscino), is a country located in west [[Novaris]]. It borders [[Cavellan]] to the East, [[Durakia]] through [[Ietracia]] and shares maritime borders with [[Durakia]], [[Aponivia]], [[Varletia]], the [[Varentine League]], and [[Cryria]]. Covering an area of 2,059,878.512 square kilometers, it lies mostly on the Asciec Peninsula, sitting next to the [[Pacific Ocean]], it lies between the [[Asciec Sea]] to the north and the [[Asciec Channel]] to the south.
 
As the newly democratic Volscine Confederation 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 Volscina and Tretrid entered a series of conflicts, and although no true decisive winner was found, Volscina steadily grew in size and power, eventually annexing the disputed Tretridian territory of [[Seccera]] in the final Volscino-Tretridian war. Volcsina 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 Volscino-Tretridian Cold War (henceforth "Cold War"). The Cold War was a major political conflict between Volscina and Tretrid, one which only escalated further as both nations expanded their influence and political power. Eventually, thiseventually resultedresulting in a nuclear arms race. The Cold War is commonly agreed to have ended in Tretridian favor in 2002, when the [[Volscine Civil War]] broke out. Since the end of the three-year conflict, Volscina has reinstated Imperial rule, the new government claiming the heritage of the oldfirst Volscine Empire.
 
Today, Volscina is a [[wikipedia:confederation|Confederal]] [[wikipedia:elective monarchy|Elective Monarchy]] led by an emperor or empress, who serves as the head of the Imperial Diet, which itself is populated by the leaders of the constituent nations that make up the Empire. The capital is [[Cadrigrano]], and its major financial and population centers are [[Mazarona]], [[Amorecci]], [[Tramonto]], [[Acaimo]], and [[Videnza]].
 
Volscina is a rising [[wikipedia:regional_power|regional power]] with a robust but damaged economy, still in recovery from the damages wrought by the civil war. It is heavily developed and industrialized, and is a large producer of metals, foodstuffs, and automobiles. Volscina is known for its beautiful landscapes, historic cities, and many castles, making it one of the largest tourist destinations on Novaris.
