The '''Second Kingdom of Gotneska''', commonly known as '''Gotaland''' (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 [[Kitikmeot]] 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 is located in [[Læniguëuíl]], and the largest city is [[Dunshaughlin]]
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]].

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.

{{main|History of Gotneska}}
{{main|History of Gotneska}}{{Under construction}}
 
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.
