The '''Second Kingdom of Gotneska''', commonly known as '''Gotanaland''' (Götaish: '''Konungsríki Gotneska''', and widely known just as '''Gotneska''' and rarely by the '''Kingdom and Commonwealth of Gotneska'''), is a sovereign nation and Constitutional-Parliamentary Monarchy in [[Argis]] on [[Eurth]]. The country shares borders with no-mans-land to the north, [[Aurivizh]] to the east, and No-Man’s Land to the west. Both the eastern border with Aurivizh is made up two rivers the longest one being the [[River Shannon]]. The country has a population of 19.5 million citizens. The political capital and largest city is [[Læniguëuíl|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 [[Tricontinental Defence Treaty Organisation|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 [[Gótana|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. | |||
(WIP. How is the name pronounced? How is the name translated into other languages?) | |||
=== | == History == | ||
| | {{main|History of Gotneska}} | ||
| | 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. But the first evidence of human presence in [[Gotneska]] is much earlier, dating to around 45,000 years ago. | ||
| | |||
== Geography == | |||
| | {{main|Geography of Gotneska}} | ||
Gotneska is located on the western half of the yeetland peninsula. It is border by [[Aurivizh]] to the southeast, and [[Ulfheimr]] to the west. Most of the nation is south of the Argic Circle, but a small portion lays north of it, one of the largest settlements lays 10 km North of the city. The nation has serval small islands off its coast. The country lies between latitudes 59 and 70°N, and longitudes 14 and 10°W. The most notable topographical features of the country are the [[Kendovstrunmahhe Mountains]], [[Aurum Coast]]. The Gotneskan Kendovstrunmahhes are located mainly within the [[Járnger Ðr Province|Járnger Ðr]], the highest point is [[Skaðifjall]], at {{convert|5785|m|ft}}. And the lowest point would be sea level at 0 m. Gotneska also has five major rivers, two of which help create it borders. | |||

Politics in Gotneska operates under a framework laid out in the Constitution. First written in 1849, it establishes a sovereign state in the form of a constitutional monarchy, with a representative parliamentary system. The monarch officially retains executive power and presides over the Council of State (privy council). The monarch has full executive power which they can use to a limit some other things they can are such as the formal appointment and dismissal of the Prime Minister and other Government ministers. The Monarch is not answerable for his or her actions, and their person is sacrosanct. Hereditary monarch Queen [[Sarah II]] has been head of state since 10 October 2017. She is supported by a Prime Minister, currently [[Askur Karlsson]]. Two other important political figures are Speaker of the Riksdag [[Erik Magnússon]] and Deputy Prime Minister [[Olfúr Andersson]]. | |||

Modern Gotneska has a mixed economy that is primarily service-based. It has a strong $economicSectorName sector, with some important international companies having a presence there. Additionally, the country has developed a thriving technology sector, with a strong focus on renewable energy. Tourism is also a major contributor to the economy, as its provinces are known for their rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and historical sites. Agriculture continues to play a role in the economies of rural areas, with crops such as potatoes, barley, and livestock being raised for both domestic consumption and export. Fishing and seafood production is also a significant industry in coastal provinces. Additionally, extractive industries contribute to the economies of $provinceName and $provinceName. | |||
