Ossoria ({{wp|Irish Language|Ossorian}}: '''''Osraí'''''; formally '''''Ard Ríocht Osraí''''', literally "[the] High Kingdom of Ossoria"), is an island nation off the western coast of the continent of Eracura. Located in the Northern Nuadan Ocean, it lies to the west of [[Shalum]] and northwest of [[Azurlavai]], separated from these continental states by the Mallian Sea.
Ossoria ({{wp|Irish Language|Ossorian}}: '''''Osraí'''''; formally '''''Ard Ríocht Osraí''''', literally "[the] High Kingdom of Ossoria"), is an island nation off the western coast of the continent of Eracura in [[Tyran]]. Located in the Northern Nuadan Ocean, it lies to the west of [[Shalum]] and northwest of [[Æþurheim]], separated from these continental states by the Mallian Sea.


The core territory of Ossoria is comprised of an archipelago of over 200 islands, commonly referred to as the Ossorian Home Islands ('''''Oileáin Baile Osraí'''''). The largest of these is Oileán Mór (''Great Island''), the island occupied by the Kingdom of Kenlis which accounts for approximately two-thirds of the total land area of the Home Islands. Other major islands in the chain are Oileán Glasa (''Green Island'', Kingdom of Arless),  Oileán Fada (''Long Island'', Kingdom of Vadre) and Oileán Scairbh (''Rugged Island'', Kingdom of Fira).
The core territory of Ossoria is comprised of an archipelago of over 4,500 islands, of which approximately 300 are permanently settled, which are commonly referred to as the Ossorian Home Islands ('''''Oileáin Baile Osraí'''''). The largest of these is Oileán Mór (''Great Island''), the island occupied by the Kingdom of Kenlis which accounts for approximately two-thirds of the total land area of the Home Islands. Other major islands in the chain are Oileán Glasa (''Green Island'', Kingdom of Ardliss),  Oileán Fada (''Long Island'', Kingdom of Dòrnach) and Oileán Scairbh (''Rugged Island'', Kingdom of Firada).


Politically, Ossoria has combined aspects of a powerful monarchy, a strong aristocracy, and an elected democracy to produce a stable political structure. While foreign observers often note the lack of political freedoms in Ossoria, there are many defenders of the Ossorian system and it retains widespread domestic support. Despite its detractors, Ossorian politics has a strong tradition of benevolent monarchical rule and respect for the rights of its subjects.

The Scepter of Ossoria, which is the colloquial term for both the Monarchy of the High Kingdom as well as the executive branch of the federal government as a whole, is both the head of state and the head of government for the High Kingdom of Ossoria. The first High King, Cerball Silven of the Kingdom of Kenlis, came to power as a response to an invasion by an alliance of Shalumite nobles in the early 9th Century, compelling the Ossorian petty kingdoms to unite against the foreign threat. The Silven family has continued to hold the title to the kingship of Ossoria through to the present day.

Ossoria's primary source of energy comes from nuclear power generation, specifically with the prolific use of thorium-based nuclear power. The most common form of this power generation in Ossoria is the {{wp|liquid fluoride thorium reactor}}, which has seen service in both the private sector and with the military. Ossoria's domestic {{wp|thorium}} deposits, which are among the richest in XXX, made the pursuit of this form of nuclear power generation very attractive when compared to more costly uranium-fueled reactors, and has grown to fill the majority of the High Kingdom's energy needs.
