'''Borealia''' is a continent on [[Elezia]] bordered by the [[Siberic Ocean]] to the north and the [[Merillian Ocean]] to the south. The closest continents are [[Atusia]] to the east across the Triannic Strait and [[Parthenia]] to the east across the Charmelcan Channel.

Borealia covers about {{Convert|5.68|e6km2|e6mi2|abbr=unit}}, making it the smallest continent on [[Elezia]]. Politically, Borealia is divided into 4 sovereign states, [[Candaria]] being the largest, [[Hesperia]] being the richest and most populated, [[Seqoyah]] being the second largest and [[Denendeh]] being the smallest as well as least populated of the continent. Borealia has a population of about 246 million in 2023.

It is sometimes referred to as the "Far North" by Candarians and Denendehese due to its location in the north of the world. Also known as the "Land of Life" by the Keizaani people. It is unknown with certainty how and when the first populations arrived on Borealia, the earliest known were the Denendehese in the far north, speculated to have crossed from northern [[Atusia]] around 30,000 years ago, while the Candarians, around 15,000 ago through [[Parthenia]]. In the year 1310, a [[Parthenian]] explorer from [[Angland]] discovered the continent.

The most widely spoken language is {{wp|English language|Anglish}}, mostly in [[Seqoyah]] and [[Hesperia]]. The second being [[Kandari language|Kandari]] in [[Candaria]]. Today, [[Denendeh]] and [[Candaria]] conserve their languages and have declined multiple times to use {{wp|English language|Anglish}} as a national language and exchange language, which has built up tensions, especially between [[Candaria]] and [[Hesperia]].
