Novdon (Novdavian: Новдон), officially the People's State of Novdon, is a country in the Eastern realms. It is situated on the end of the Eastern peninsula, bordering the Federate Union and Gasaria to the west. The capital and largest city is Zhalov; its population of 2 million is predominately rural within its 4 regions.
Human activity has been documented on the tip of the Eastern peninsula since the Early era. The first Novdon republic emerged centred on Silograd in the Middle era but succumbed to Gasarian and Tasian conquests, finalized by the 1690 partition. Novdavian identity persisted among rural and some urban areas. The Federate movement spread to Novdon and escalated in the Novdavian Revolution. The Provisional State of Novdon was admitted to the Federate Union in 1835. The Slowdown of the 1950s led to toxic gasses severely affecting the air-quality of southwestern areas, leading to an exodus from severely-affected Silograd, where most Novdavian Tasians resided in and fled to neighbouring Tasia and Gasaria. Novdon regained independence in 1968 after the Popular Uprisings.
Novdon is a developing country with an middle-income economy largely focused on agriculture, followed by industry and services. Novdon is a member of the Free State Association since 1979. A democratic state, corruption is perceived to persist and significant monogas contaminated "no-zones" have greatly affected society. The country is a neutral state.
