Antienam, also referred to as the Republic of Antienam, is a nation located in the North-East region of Ardentia. Antienam borders multiple nations, on the east coast it borders the nations of Atraland, on the southern borders, it borders both the nations of Etrius and Solingarch. The Republic of Antienam is home to the compassionate and most devoted to both their nation and national religion. Antienam is known for it's beautiful architecture and buildings, an amazing example would be both it's well preserved marble-statues during the nations early ages and the many historic buildings that had been preserved from it's antiquity periods. One historic building would be the Church of Sancta Sophia, the massive church going back to the 1st Century.

Antienam is widely known for having it's national religion, being Christianity, many scholars debate whether the nation either follows Roman Catholicism or Orthodoxy, but it's generally accepted that the nation follows main-line Christianity. Christianity was introduced by an Apostle of Christ <TBA> by the year of 55 a.E, then becoming the nation's most followed religion by the end of 66 a.E.

Other than religion, Antienam experienced many events throughout it's history, from it's founding at 753 a.C to present day a.E. In a bit of irony, Antienam's early history is often shrouded in mystery, even the origins of the first leader. It's widely accepted by scholars and historians that the early known history of Antienam was subsequently burnt during the Great Fire of Konstantinoupole in the first century, engulfing many of it's history before the first century.

Not all scholars and historians agree that this is how history went for Antienam, rather they agree that this is the only piece of history that goes along the lines of the actual story. Starting from the 19th century, many great explorers and historians are still uncovering Antienam's history, only up to 2007 did they discover the Patmos Scrolls which despite being a massive archeological find that benefitted the history of Antienam, is still missing the early pieces of Antienamese History.
