Recent events such as the Collapse of the Goutian Empire and the [[Gotneskan Civil War]] (1979-1984) have left a clear mark on the country and its people.

'''The Kingdom of Gotneska''', commonly known as '''Gotneska''' (Götaish: '''Konungsríki Gotneska''') is a sovereign nation and Federal Constitutional-Parliamentary Monarchy in Southeastern [[Thrismari]], [[Anteria]].
== Etymology ==


==History==
The name "Gotneska" is a unique and mystical name with roots in ancient mythology. Its etymology can be traced back to the goddess [[Gótana|Gotana]], a deity revered in a mythical civilization known for its deep connection with nature and spirituality.
{{main|History of Gotneska}}


==Geography==
The name "Gotneska" is a derivative of the goddess's name, reflecting the reverence and admiration for Gotana in the civilization where this name originated. It signifies a deep spiritual connection and an affinity for the natural world. Those bestowed with the name "Gotneska" are often believed to possess qualities associated with the goddess herself, such as nurturing, strength, and a deep connection to the earth.


===Biodiversity===
Over time, the name "Gotneska" has come to represent individuals who exude a sense of abundance, protection, and profound spirituality. It embodies a unique combination of strength and gentleness, making it a name that commands respect and carries an air of mystique.
As the country is located near {{wpl|Antarctic circle}}, Gotneska has a very low level of biodiversity. The northern half of the nation is classfied as {{wpl|taiga}}, where most of the plant and animal life lives. Some common animals include: [[Gotneskan Sheep]], {{wpl|Mountain hare}}, some islands have {{wpl|foxes}}. The islands are also cover in {{wpl|Deciduous}} forest.


The Southern half of the islands is by far less biodiversity, then is northern neigbors, life here has a hard time, Winter is super long, very windy, and very little precption falls in this part of the nation. But animals as like {{wpl|Arctic Fox}}, there population is small but but because of the fact Gotneska has protected areas known as National Parks, or other protected areas the foxes remain free and thrave on the small Island.
(WIP. How is the name pronounced? How is the name translated into other languages?)

The history of Gotneska as a unified kingdom began in the 9th century. However, historic documents describe the geographic area and the people living there, the Götaí and Ruaíaí, as early as 500 CE. These early documents include the writings of ?? and ??. With the {{wp|Christianization}} of the Geats circa 660s AD, it is clear that there existed a kingship. Queen [[Sarah II]] can trace her lineage back to the [[Córda|Cordic]] & [[Namór Ásásadóirmenni]] kings ?? and ?? from this time, thus making the Monarchy of Gotneska one of the oldest continues bloodlines in [[Argis]].{{Citation needed}} The area now known as Gotneska has a rich prehistory, having been populated by several prehistoric cultures and people for about 10,500 to 8,000 years, since the end of the last ice age.

The country shares borders with no-mans-land to the north, Aurivizh to the east, and No-Man’s Land to the west.

The political capital and largest city is Langueuil.

The country is organised as a Constitutional-Parliamentary Monarchy. The history of Gotneska as a unified kingdom began in the 9th century. Recent events such as the Collapse of the Goutian Empire and the Gotneskan Civil War (1979-1984) have left a clear mark on the country and its people. Since 2017, the head of state is Queen Sarah II from the House of Rejavi.

Modern Gotneska has a mixed economy, with many people earning a modest income. Gotneska is a member of several different international organizations, including the Assembled Nations. It has applied to become a Partner for Peace membership in Trident.

Etymology

The name "Gotneska" is a unique and mystical name with roots in ancient mythology. Its etymology can be traced back to the goddess Gotana, a deity revered in a mythical civilization known for its deep connection with nature and spirituality.

The name "Gotneska" is a derivative of the goddess's name, reflecting the reverence and admiration for Gotana in the civilization where this name originated. It signifies a deep spiritual connection and an affinity for the natural world. Those bestowed with the name "Gotneska" are often believed to possess qualities associated with the goddess herself, such as nurturing, strength, and a deep connection to the earth.

Over time, the name "Gotneska" has come to represent individuals who exude a sense of abundance, protection, and profound spirituality. It embodies a unique combination of strength and gentleness, making it a name that commands respect and carries an air of mystique.
