The Republic of Wareselt is a country in northeast Nortua, bordered to the north by Eastern Holin, to the west by Tine, to the south by Kamani, and to the west by Saint Hilley. It also shares maritime borders with Candatora by Bremic Lake, and the Arenoran Isles by the Strait of Mitter. Wareselt has a population of roughly 9.1 million people. Its capital is Taveil, its largest city is Halstel, and other major cities include Schmalkau and Heusbeke. Wareselt has a varied terrain, ranging from high plains along with rolling hills and mountains, some of which reach an altitude of over 1,250 m (3,600 ft), to low plains along the northeast coast and southern lakelands.
The area of modern day Wareselt was long populated by indigenous Nortuans and the kingdoms of various empires throughout history. The concept of Wareselt as its own distinct culture emerged around the 1300s with the establishment of the kingdom of Warehilley, which occupied its own territory along the Mitter. Warehilley was incorporated into the Nortuan Union in 1805. Upon the dissolution of the Union, Warehilley became an independent republic in 1880. In 1928, Saint Hilley peacefully broke away from Wareselt in a democratic referendum, and the two maintain strong political and cultural ties.
Wareselt is a developing country, with an upper-middle-income economy. Wareselt is dominated by the services sector, accounting for 54% of GDP and employing approximately 56.6% of the population.
