'''Cuthland-Waldrich''' ({{wp|Anglish|Cuthish}}: ''Cuþland-Waldrice'', {{wp|West Frisian language|Waldish}}: ''Cutlân-Wâldryk''), officially the '''Kingdom of Cuthland-Waldrich''' ({{wp|Anglish|Cuthish}}: ''Cingdom of Cuþland-Waldrice'', {{wp|West Frisian language|Waldish}}: ''Keninkryk Cutlân-Wâldryk'') is a {{wp|Sovereign state|sovereign state}} located on the [[Telmerian Peninsula]] in northern [[Berea]].  It lies between the [[White Sea]] to the north, [[Lake Sigismund]] to the east, and the [[Dentrian Mountains]] to the west.  The nation shares borders with [[Mascylla]], [[Lilienburg]], [[X]], and [[X]].  With a population of approximately 33.8 million and spanning an area of approximately X square kilometers, Cuthland-Waldrich is the Xth most populous and Xth largest state in [[Berea]].
Cuthland-Waldrich is a {{wp|Multinational state|multinational state}} consisting of the two autonomous {{wp|Constituent state|constituent states}} of [[Cuthland]] and [[Waldrich]], each with its own distinct ethnic identity.  The {{wp|Anglo-Saxons|Cuthish}} are the country's largest ethnic group and constitute a slim majority of its population at 76.5%, followed by the {{wp|Frisians|Waldish}} at 22.1%.  This ethnic diversity forms the basis for Cuthland-Waldrich's unique structure, which splits many institutions between the two states.  The country is [[Official multilingualism in Cuthland-Waldrich|officially multilingual]], recognizing both {{wp|Anglish|Cuthish}} and {{wp|West Frisian language|Waldish}} as official languages.  [[Kingsham]], the country's largest city and the state capital of [[Cuthland]], serves as the federal executive and administrative capital, while [[Grienfjild]], the country's second largest city and the state capital of [[Waldrich]], serves as the federal legislative and judicial capital.  Other major cities include [[Whitford]], [[Alderport]], and [[Fenmouth]].
{{wp|Germanic peoples|Telmerian}} settlement in modern day Cuthland-Waldrich dates back to classical antiquity.  These early tribes began to coalesce into various pretty kingdoms and duchies at the dawn of the {{wp|Early Middle Ages}}, leading to the region's dominance by [[Four Kingdoms]] from the 6th century onward.  During the 11th century, [[Edmund the Great]] of the [[Kingdom of Meerland]] unified the Cuthish states into the [[Kingdom of Cuthland]].  Cuthland and its southern neighbor, the [[Kingdom of Waldrich]], remained geopolitical rivals for the next four centuries, culminating with the [[Cuthish conquest of Waldrich]] during the 15th century and the establishment of the [[First Cuthish Empire]] as the most powerful state in Telmeria.  Cuthland continued to expand throughout the early modern period, conquering parts of [[X]], western [[Mascylla]], and the northern [[Dentiran Peninsula]] while establishing one of the world's first colonial empires in [[Alvinia]] and northern and eastern [[Pamira]].  During the mid-18th century, Cuthland's dominance in Telmeria began to falter due to increasing ethnic tensions within the empire and the rising prominence of [[Kingdom of Aldia|Aldia]].  The shifting balance of power culminated in the outbreak of the [[Cutho-Aldian War]] in 1755, ending in 1758 with Cuthland's [[Partition of Cuthland|partition]] and loss of its colonial empire.
A wave of nationalism swept through Cuthland during the mid-19th century, leading revanchist Foresitter [[Harold Farnham]] to declare [[Cuthish War of Unification|war]] on Mascylla in 1839 in an effort to reclaim the lost territories of the Cuthish Empire.  The war ended with the [[Treaty of Alderport]] in 1841, which restored continental Cuthland to its pre-1758 borders and returned large portions of the Mascyllary colonial empire to Cuthish rule.  Cuthland enjoyed a [[Second Cuthish Empire|second period]] of international prominence in the 19th and early 20th centuries, expanding its colonial empire in [[Caphtora]] and [[Pamira]] and challenging Mascyllary dominance.  Tensions between Cuthland and Mascylla and their respective power blocs led to the outbreak of the [[Great War]] in the 1910s, ending in a Cuthish defeat which saw the abolition of the monarchy and cession of many of Cuthland's eastern territories.  The nation subsequently experienced an economic collapse and the outbreak of a three-way [[Cuthish Civil War|civil war]] between communist, republican, and monarchist forces in 1919 following a failed [[1921 Cuthish coup d'état|coup d'état]] by communist revolutionaries.  The war ended with a monarchist victory in 1921, with the [[Treaty of Newbridge]] restoring the Cuthish crown as a dual monarchy in which both Cuthland and Waldrich hold coequal status.
The newly reorganized Kingdom of Cuthland-Waldrich established an authoritarian regime, carrying out thousands of extrajudicial killings against political dissidents collectively known as the [[Royal Terror]].  Cuthland-Waldrich assisted [[Melasia]]n revolutionaries against Mascyllan colonial forces during the [[Melasian Crisis]], ultimately leading to a brief military conflict with Mascylla.  The crisis resulted in Melasia's independence and subsequent alliance with Cuthland-Waldrich and Erytheria

  • 6th-11th centuries: But oh no, they keep getting fucked by Mascylla from the east and the Nordics from the west
  • 11th century: Probably better if we unite into two kingdoms instead, Cuthland and Waldrich
  • 15th century: Yeah this is pretty cool but Masc keeps fucking us so let's form a political union and totally not rip off Poland-Lithuania in the process
  • 15th-17th centuries: Wow I like this whole empire thing let's go invade not!Scandinavia and maybe parts of Mascylla as well
    • We should also be artsy and shit while we're at it
  • 17th century: Oh never mind this is actually completely unsustainable, ethnic tensions are sucky and our economy is in the shitter
    • Guess we better partition the G L O R I O U S E M P I R E and return to getting railed by Mascylla
  • 1818: Lol jk we're getting the band back together
  • 19th century: Oh look, industry and colonies

  • 1920s: Yep we definitely suck, Masc took our monarchy and now the commies want in
  • 1930s: But what better cure for communism than a return of the monarchy, this time with double the oppression
  • 1930s: Guess we should invade/annex Waldrich again, as is customary
  • 1930s-1970s: Oh wow this is much better than before, we're actually kind of feared
  • 1970s: Whoops maybe economics aren't our thing, the people are restless again
    • Okay we'll give you more capitalism but the monarchy stays
