'''Emerstari''' ([[Emerstarian language|Emerstarian]]: ''Emerige'', pronounced [ˈɛmərjɛ]), officially the '''Federated Kingdom of Emertari''', is a sovereign state and [[Scania|Scanian]] country in the [[Eurevia|Eurevian]] region of [[Arda en' Estel]]. Emerstari proper consists of its mainland and 416 named islands, with the largest being [[Haller]] and [[Långeholt]]. The westernmost and northernmost of the [[Scanians|Scanian nations]], Emerstari lies north of [[Canaria]] and [[Roele]] and west of [[Coelans]]. The nation is generally mild due to its maritime influence and is characterized by flat to hilly arable land in the south and the west, by forested and mountainous land in the north, and by vast coastlines and lakes in the west. Emerstari has a total area of 644,049.75 km<small><sup>2</sup></small> (248,669 sq mi) and water area of 24,094.66 km<small><sup>2</sup></small> (9,303 sq mi).


Scanian peoples have inhabited Emerstari for 4,000 years, emerging into history as [[Emerstarians]] (Emerstarian: ''Emersk''). A semi-united Emerstarian state was founded in the early first century AD. After the fall of the [[Emerstarian Confederation]] in the 5th century AD, the nation divided itself into fourteen petty kingdoms in a period known as the [[Emerstarian Polyarchy|Polyarchy]]. By the 10th century, all of these kingdoms had been Christianized, and in the mid-11th century, a reunited [[Kingdom of Emerstari|Emerstari]] reappeared. The [[Great Mortality]] in the late 14th century halved the Emerstarian population and indirectly caused extensive social and political changes and the [[War of Emerstarian Succession]]. The Kingdom of Emerstari consequently emerged as a major power and entered the [[Euervian Rebirth]]. During and after this period, an expansion of Emerstarian territories began and the [[Emerstarian Empire]] was formed. By the late-17th century, Emerstari was a dominant land and naval power, but in the mid-18th century, a new constitution was written resulting in the establishment of the Federated Kingdom of Emerstari. In the late-18th century, participated in the [[Wars of the Coalitions (1789-1831)|Wars of the Coalitions]], entering first into the [[Fourth Oldraite Rebellion]] on the side of the Protestants. Emerstari shortly thereafter reached its territory height and entered into the [[Emerstarian Golden Age]] which lasted throughout the 19th century. The nation entered the [[10 Years' War]] in 1911 a part of the Veidmaar League. After the war, an [[Eurevian Depression|economic depression]] began that ended in the 1930s.
'''Emerstari''' ([[Emerstarian language|Emerstarian]]: ''Emerige'', pronounced [ɛmərˈje]), officially the '''Kingdom of the Emerstarians''', is a country and semi-constitutional monarchy situated primarily on the [[Molavan Peninsula]] in [[Arda en Estel]]. It also includes numerous overseas territories, notably in [[Markion]]. Emerstari proper consists of its mainland and 416 named islands, the largest of which are the [[Isle of Haller]] and [[Långehold]], which lie north of the mainland. The country is the northernmost and easternmost on the peninsula, sharing a border with [[Canaria]] in the south and [[Colane]] in the west. Its climate is generally temperate with four distinct seasons, hot summers, and cold winters. Maritime influence chills the north while it warms the south. The geography of Emerstari is characterized by many rivers and lakes, forests, and regions of mountains and plains. Emerstari's total area amounts to 644,050 km<small><sup>2</sup></small> (248,669 sq mi). Of that, water accounts for 62,928 km<small><sup>2</sup></small> (24,297 sq mi) or nearly ten percent.


Today, Emerstari has close relations to its neighbors, culturally and linguistically as well as politically. It is a {{wp|federation|federal}} {{wp|constitutional}} {{wp|semi-parliamentary}} {{wp|monarchy}} wherein executive power is vested in a [[Monarch of Emerstari|Monarch]]. Legislative power is vested in the tricameral [[Foderelskkongress]]. Emerstari has [[States of Emerstari|seventeen states]] and two capitals, [[Coronet, Emerstari|Coronet]] and [[Rensulier]]. Its national language is Emerstarian.
Emerstari has been inhabited by humans since the end of the last Ice Age, but the beginning of history in Emerstari coincides with the advent of urbanization along the [[Hrenshall River]] three thousand years ago. In the second century BC, the land of the Emerstarians was unified under a single political entity for the first time following its subjugation by the [[Marsine Republic]]. Christianity spread from in the country from the first to fifth centuries AD, during which time various petty kingdoms emerged as Marsia receded. In 1047, [[Erik Segersæl]] united these pretty kingdoms into a powerful yet decentralized feudal state. Dynastic conflict and land disputes plunged Emerstari into near continuous conflict from the mid-14th to mid-15th centuries, after which Emerstarian culture flourished, and the [[Emerstarian Empire]] arose as a colonial and mercantile power.
 
Since the 16th century, the history of Markion has played an integral role in the history of Emerstari. Wars of succession at home and in neighboring countries marked the 18th century, and their closure commenced a second era of flourishing for Emerstarian culture during the first half of the 19th century. Colonial wars and the [[Ten Years' War]], again, weakened Emerstari. In the beginning of the twentieth century, [[Erik X Gustaf]] made a decisive turn away from imperialism and towards diplomacy and non-interventionalism. His reign marked political renewal and liberalization in Emerstari with a view to Christian democracy.
 
Today, Emerstari remains a center of art, science, and philosophy. It is a developed country with a robust economy and high quality of life. Emerstari is a principle member of the Hrenshallå Commonwealth, alongside [[Ashuraya]] and [[Kophavien]], a political, military, and economic union between it and former client states of the Emerstarian Empire.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name Emerstari was loaned from the [[Marseilian]] word ''Emersterre'' in the 17th century. Before this, English used Emerland. While the Emerstarian name ''Emerige'' literally means "realm of the Emers," it is debated whether this word derives from ''Emer'' and ''rike'' (which is the more common interpretation), or if it derives from ''Emer'' and ''ige'', an [[Emerstarian language|Emerstarian]] derivation of ''ia''.


Variations of the name Emerstari are used in most languages, with exceptions of [[Coelanish]], [[Jermanskan]], and [[Svergian]] using ''Emerige'', [[Halleran]] ''Emersland'', and [[Øarnslandic]] ''Emíriki''. Other notable exceptions include some of the [[Kolgrik languages]] where ''Eruortsi'' ([[Soumian]]) and ''Eruorški'' ([[Bohymish]]) are used. In the [[Elbaichish languages]], ''Kualainn'' is used.

===Early History===
[[File:AltaRockCarvingsFences.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Marlandish petrogylphs dating from 3,800-years-ago]]
Emerish tribes migrating from what is present-day [[Rhenland]] reached Emerstari approximately 4,000-years-ago, following northbound herds of reindeer. However, a colder climate than that of today restricted settlement any farther north than the [[Vernij River|Vernij]] and [[Kjor River|Kjor Rivers]] for several centuries. By 1,400-years-ago, nearly all of Emerstari had been settled.
[[Proto-North Scanian]], the predecessor of [[Old North Scanian]], the common ancestor of all the modern North Scanian languages, diverged from [[Proto-Scanian]] around 1,000-years-ago, but it was not until 800 BC that a writing system was introduced, from the [[Marseilians]].
Old North Scanian evolved from Old North Scanian 2,400-years-ago, and by this time, the tribes of Emerstarians were beginning to grow larger until by AD 19, several of the largest tribes in northern central Emerstari formed the [[Emerstarian Confederation]]. This Confederation was headed by a High Chieftain and mainly served as a defensive alliance. By AD 70, High Chieftain [[Folki Theorrisson]] had converted to Christianity, and the rest of the Confederation slowly followed suit.
===Middle Ages===
In 422, the [[Emerstarian Confederation]] collapsed and of the many tribes that entered it, several petty kingdoms came out. The Kingdoms which were created from the Confederation were mostly Christian, but parts of Emerstari were still pagan, so for the next several centuries, copious religious wars were fought between the Christian petty kingdoms and those that were pagan, most notably the [[Vernian Cursade]].
Prior to their Christianization, pagan Emerstarians explored, raided, and settled various areas across [[Arda en' Estel]]; it is believed that in 723, one group may have reached so far as [[Durradon]] in [[Markion]]. However, the [[Emerstarian Viking Age]] finally came to an end in 912 when a league of Christian Emerstarian kingdoms took advantage of infighting between the [[Kingdom of Verni]] and the [[Kingdom of Valerige]].
The King of Flodland, [[Eirikr I of Emerstari|Eirikr Segersaella]] aimed to unite all of the Emerstarian kingdoms, an aim which never had been accomplished. When his uncle, the [[King of Whentii]], died both kingdoms were united and he commenced an invasion of what is present-day [[States of Emerstari|Marland]]: first into the eastern [[Kingdom of Osteg]], and then into the western [[Kingdom of Fjordland]]. By 1047, all of Emerstari had been united under his banner. [[Karl I of Emerstari|Karl Gamla]] died in 1122, ending the rule of the House of Eirikr, and he was succeeded by [[Harald I of Emerstari|Harald Berhjartath]] of the [[House of Sigfredsson]], which reigned until 1235.

}}
By 1357, a plague which had spread across southern Scania reached Emerstari, and it lasted until 1359 when an especially cold winter killed off many of the bugs and rodents carrying it. The disease, the [[Great Mortality]], halved the Emerstarian population and killed the only daughter of [[Olaf II Kristoffer of Emerstari|Olaf II Kristoffer]]. The death of her, [[Katarina Elisabet Olafsdottir]], caused tension between Emerstari and Marseile resulting in [[Charles VII and III of Marseile and EmerstarI|Charles VII of Marseile]] invading Emerstari upon the death of Olaf II Kristoffer. He, however, died only a year afterward. [[Peter I and IV of Emerstari and Marseile|Peter I and IV]] ascended to the throne of [[Marseile]], and therefore the throne of [[Roele]] as well, and [[Emerstari]]. [[Sigismund I Kristoffer of Emerstari|Sigismund I Kristoffer]] led a revolt against Peter I and IV in 1390; he established himself as King of Emerstari, installing the [[House of Saexe-Vittelsbach]]
[[Kristien I Ulrik of Emerstari|Kristien I Ulrik]], or Kristien Onreda (''Christian the Unready''), ascended to the throne of Emerstari after the death of his unpopular father in 1430, and ruled until his death from an isolated reoccurrence of the [[Great Mortality]] in 1439. From 1439 until 1444, the [[War of Emerstarian Succession]] raged across Emerstari.
===Early Modern Era===
====Eurevian Rebirth====
[[File:Gustav Vasa i Mora.jpeg|right|250px|thumb|[[Georg I Erik of EmerstarI|Georg I Erik]] in Ynnesborg, 1440]]
In 1444, after the end of the [[War of Emerstarian Succession]], the [[House of Eirikr]] was reinstated, and [[Georg I Erik of Emerstari|Georg I Erik]] became King of Emerstari. Under his reign, Emerstari's state religion became [[Church of Emerstari|Lutheranism]], and the [[Emerstarian language]] was further standardized via the first Emerstarian translation of the Bible. Moreover, during his reign, Emerstari began to colonize outside of [[Scania]]. Erik I Georg is Emerstari's second longest-reigning monarch, from 1444 until 1512.
[[Christoffer Lorens Ljundstrom, Baron of Ljundstrom|Christoffer Lorens Ljundstrom]] reached the Durranese coast in 1504, creating peaceful relations with the [[Durranese]]. He sailed throughout Markion from 1504 to 1512 and planted the seeds for Emerstarian colonies in [[Kophavien]] and [[Fyrland]]. Explorers after him colonized other lands in Markion such as [[Baveska]], the [[Gyldenskkost]], [[Klarsjoland]], and [[Vasterkostland]].
Emerstari grew wealthy from colonial trade and soon other Scanian nations followed suit. In 1552, war broke out between Emerstari and [[Marseile]] over the ownership of the [[Outoi Valley]] in present-day [[New Retermi]]. The war raged in [[New Retermi]] and off the coasts of both nations until 1556, but neither country was ever invaded; the Marseilians were ultimately bound by the [[Treaty of Uchtre]] to renounce their claim to the Outoi Valley.
A coalition of Catholic Scanian nations including [[Marseile]], [[Roele]], [[Estenland]], [[Seubia]], and [[Polsny]], as part of a greater plan to reinstall Catholic monarchies across northern Scania, attacked [[Soumeland]] and [[Yermansk]]. In response, Emerstari, [[Canaria]], [[Coelans]], [[Saexeland]], and several other duchies of the [[Holy Scanian Empire|Scanian Imperium]] declared war on the Catholic League. Christened as the [[War of the Poiy League]], it lasted from 1592 until 1628 and resulted in various territorial changes within the Scanian Imperium.
Amidst the war, Queen [[Katarina I Solveig of Emerstari|Katarina I Solveig]] died, and the [[House of Leijonhuvud]] was installed to the throne of Emerstari upon [[Ervin II Gustaf of Emerstari|Ervin II Gustaf]]'s ascension. Under the new Leijonhuvud rule, several provinces in modern-day [[Canaria]] were attained in 1672, forming [[Emerstarian Canaria]].
====Enlightenment and Golden Age====
=====Carolinian Wars=====
[[File:Karl XII 1706.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Karl IV Lorens of Emerstari|Karl IV Lorens]] in 1701]]
In 1690, [[Karl IV Lorens of Emerstari|Karl IV Lorens]] ascended to the throne of Emerstari and upon this, he began to reform the [[Royal Emerstarian Military]], and he created the [[Emerstarian allotment system]]. Aiming to take advantage of the 20-year-old king's inexperience, however, [[Saurland]] declared war on Emerstar in 1692 and invaded [[Emerstarian Soumeland]]. Karl IV Lorens proved himself to be one of Emerstari's best military minds, and in 1693, he forced Saurland into a {{wp|personal union}} with Emerstari that would last until 1718.
The [[Polsnian Empire]], aligning itself with the exiled King of Saurland declared war on Emerstari in 1695 and again, Soumeland was invaded. Throughout his [[Kuista]] and [[Erngia]] campaigns, Karl's army reached a total of 32,000 troops, — a number which would be surpassed during his 1700–1704 campaign. Polsny surrendered in 1697, handing over Kuistia, which was integrated into Emerstarian Soumeland, and Erngia which became an Emerstarian territory in its own right.
After three years, a coalition of several Scanian states led by Polsny declared war on Emerstari. Emerstari, allied with [[Coelans]] and supported by [[Marseile]], forced [[Yermansk]] into signing the [[Treaty of Svalhavn]] within several months of the war's start. In the treaty, they had to break their alliance with Polsny. Thereafter, Emerstari simultaneous defended Soumeland from Polsny and [[Hessenland]] from [[Estenland]]. By 1701, the Polsnians had been forced out of Soumeland, and they retreated southward to defend [[Siesland]]. Karl, uniting his force with a Coelanish force, pursued them, and for three days near the village of [[Ruuken]], the Emerstarian-Coelanish force fought the Polsnian force resulting in a combined total of 43,000 casualties.
Karl's army successfully took the northern half of [[Siesland]] and in 1702, Emerstari, Polsny, Coelans, and Estenland met to sign the [[Treaty of Solnatz]]. In which, [[Estenland]] was forced to break its treaty with Polsny and a two-year-long ceasefire was agreed to.
In 1704, the ceasefire ended and an Emerstarian army encountered a Polsnian force near the village of Kääjoki, resulting in the [[Battle of Kääjoki]] whereat, Karl IV Lorens was killed. The war continued on for several months after his death, and in the [[Peace of Poiy]], the Polsnian Empire was forced to hand over Siesland which remained in a personal union with Emerstari until 1718.
=====Enlightenment=====
Karl was succeeded by his sister, [[Annette I Maria of Emerstari|Annette I Maria]], who ruled for four years until her son, [[Ervin III Karl of Emerstari|Ervin III Karl]] had reached of age, and she was asked by the [[Riksråd]] to abdicate. Ervin III Karl ruled from 1708 until his premature death in 1718, during which time, Emerstari remained at peace. He was a proponent of Emerstarian culture and the arts, and he ordered the construction of numerous cathedrals, palaces, and universities including the [[Emerstarian Academy]] which today is part of the [[Emerstarian Språkkeråd]] that regulates [[Emerstarian language|Emerstarian]].
[[File:Frederick Adolph of Sweden.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Olaf III of Emerstari]]
[[File:Sir Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.png|right|250px|thumb|The [[Emerstarian Duchies|Duke of Whentii]], [[Eirik Finn Felikssen–Leijonhuvud]], led the [[Royal Army of Emerstari|Emerstarian Army]] in the [[Scanian Wars of the Coalitions|Wars of the Coalitions]]]]
Ervin and his wife, [[Anaïs Magali de Donat]], had one daughter who died in 1715 from pneumonia, and amidst the succession crisis that followed, Ervin III Karl was the target of an assassination carried out by Saurlandish rebels. The throne returned to the [[House of Eirikr]], but the territories of Saurland and Siesland were lost.
[[Erik VIII Olaf of Emerstari|Erik VIII Olaf]] who had served under Karl IV Lorens and held considerable territories in the [[Holy Scanian Empire|Scanian Imperium]] ascended to the throne. He ruled from 1718 until 1744 and is known as the "Father of Scania", for he had eleven children and most Scanian monarchs today are related to him.
Excluding several minor colonial wars and a brief conflict with [[Kaltura]] in [[Markion]], Erik VIII Olaf's reign was peaceful, seeing the expansion of the [[Emerstarian Empire]] and dominance of the [[Royal Emerstaran Navy]]. [[Erik IX Johann of Emerstari|Erik IX Johann]], grandson of Erik VIII Olaf, ascended to the throne following his father's death.
In 1749, talks of a new [[Emerstarian constitution]] began, and a draft was submitted to the [[Riksråd]] in 1755, and after a year of debate and revision, the Føreningpapper was approved by Erik IX Johann in 1756. A sizeable group of nobles, however, were concerned that the new constitution would limit their power. The new constitution also established [[States of Emerstari|seventeen states]] and reformed the [[Riksråg]] into the [[Foderelskkongress]].
In [[Emerstarian Canaria]] in 1763, two years after the end of the [[Euteni War]] between Emerstari and Marseile, delegates from both nations signed the [[Voendenvelt Accords]], establishing an alliance between the two nations as it was figured that it would be more beneficial to keep the current balance of power than to weaken one another.
Erik IX Johann died of stomach cancer in 1778, but as his eldest son and heir was visiting [[Gyldenskkost]] at the time, Erik's brother, [[Olaf III Aleksender of Emerstari|Olaf III Aleksender]], who had served as [[List of Presidents of Emerstari|Emerstari's first president]], ascended to the throne until 1780.
Erik's son, [[Karl V Erik of Emerstari|Karl V Erik]], ascended to the throne in 1780. In 1782, pro-Sjovenians in the Emerstarian colony of [[Baveskjien]] declared their independence from Emerstari. From 1782 until 1790, they fought with Sjovenia against Emerstari. Ultimately, Emerstari ceded the colony in the [[Treaty of Kopmandsburg]], and [[Johann André|Johann Anderssen]], the Head of Emerstarian Intelligence for the war, was hanged for treason. Karl V Erik had a day of national mourning for his death, having him put to rest in [[Tred Kronor Cathedral]].


In 1792, Emerstari declared war on [[Estenland]] to, as it was put by Karl V Erik, in defence of Protestantism, for the Catholic [[Estenland]] invaded [[Neuresstedten]]. Although, it was mainly due to an alliance with [[Coelans]]. No Emerstarian king since [[Karl IV Lorens]] had personally led an army, and so, throughout the [[Wars of the Coalitions]], [[Eirik Finn Felikssen–Leijonhuvud]], the [[Duke of Whentii]], led the [[Royal Emerstarian Military]].
UNDER REVISION
 
The Wars of the Coalitions lasted from 1789 until 1831, but Emerstarian involvement lessened after the establishment of the [[Venson Union]] in 1818. In the 1820s, the [[Royal Emerstarian Navy]] was the uncontested dominant navy in [[Scania]], and Emerstari entered into the [[Emerstarian Golden Age]], reaching its territorial height.
 
=====Golden Age=====
Starting in the 1820s, several Emerstarian authors rose to prominence including [[Hans Karl Anderssen]], [[Theodor Georg Kierke]], and [[Lorens Olaf Perssen]]. Numerous Emerstarian painters also became renowned around Scania including [[Osvald Ragnvald Strom]] and [[Svea Karla Gjordsdottir]]. Emerstarian composers [[Ludvig Ingvar Georgssen]] and [[Ragnvald Thomes Stenhammer]] lived during this period as well.
 
[[File:Roll-call.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"Namner Uppaning" by [[Svea Karla Gjordsdottir]]]]
Industrialization began to rapidly spread in Emerstari during the 1830s and 1840s, and in the 1850s, some of the first railroad tracks were set in Emerstari, creating the basis of the [[Riksjørnvag]]. During this period of industrialization, [[Folke II Knudt of Emerstari|Folke II Knudt]] died, in 1849, and ended the {{wp|real union}} between Emerstari and [[Emerstarian Canaria]].
 
In 1862, a monetary union was established between Emerstari, [[Coelans]], [[Saurland]], [[Canaria]], and briefly, the [[Friedish Confederation]] which was absorbed by Coelans. The currencies, all of which in their native languages translate to "shilling", were on the gold standard, and one shilling was defined as 1/1100 of a kilogram of gold.
 
The Emerstarian Golden Age was largely peaceful, with only a few colonial wars, but in 1873, [[Kristien II Gustaf of Emerstari|Kristien II Gustaf]] declared war upon [[Seubia]] wherewith, tensions had been growing for years about the fate of Emerstari's {{wp|personal union}} with [[Hessenland]].
 
For the initial two years of the year, Seubian forces won the majority of the battles; however, in 1875, the war turned in favor of Emerstari, and by the fifth year of war in 1878, a white peace was agreed to in the [[Treaty of Leipze]]. Hessenland, however, voted in a referendum in 1880 to become independent. After months of discussion with the [[Foderelskkongress]], an agreement was reached that in 1885, it would be set free. A member of the [[House of Eirikr]], and cousin of the [[Carl Augustus IV of Saexeland]], was made king. Upon the death of the Carl Augustus in 1891, [[Georg Johann I of Saexeland|Georg Johann I]] was also crowned King of Saexeland.
 
In the 1890s, Emerstari loosened restrictions on immigration, but these restrictions would be reinstated and made stricter after the [[10 Years' War]], during the [[Scanian Depression]].
 
===Modern Era===
====20th century====
[[File:Hochseeflotte 2.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The [[Royal Emerstarian Navy]] was believed to be one of the best in the world during the [[10 Years' War]]]]
Emerstari fought as a part of the Veidmaar League in the [[10 Years' War (Scania)|10 Years' War]]. Its forces engaged primarily in southern [[Scania]] near [[Estenland]], along the coast of [[Ienkelland]], and briefly south of [[Soumeland]]. This was the last war wherein the [[Emerstarian Home Guard]] was called to war via the [[Emerstarian allotment system|allotment system]].
 
After the war, Emerstari, like [[Marseile]] and Ienkelland, began to decolonize; although before the war, the {{wp|real union}} with [[Canaria]] and [[Soumeland]] ended in 1849 and 1904 respectively, and the colony of [[Fyrland]] had been given to the [[Green Union]] in exchange for the [[Tryndal Islands]] in 1871. [[New Retermi]] was one of the first colonies to leave after the war, in 1931.
 
Emerstari became one of the first countries in [[Scania]] to develop a nuclear arsenal (with its first atomic bomb test in 1957), in response to the development thereof by [[United Soialist Renochesvian States| Socialist Renochesvia]]. In 1967, the [[Venson Union Defence Council]] voted to aid the Slovyan rebels in the [[First Slovyan Insurgency]]. Emerstari, [[Rolech]], and [[Canaria]] sent ground forces to [[Slovya]] in 1968. After several large losses, Emerstari pulled its forces out in 1970 but continued sending supplies until the Renochesvian victory in 1971.
 
====21st century====
In the national elections in November 2010, voters ended twelve years of [[Vernon Party (Emerstari)|Vernon]] rule, returning the [[Monarchic-Republican Party (Emerstari)|Monarchic-Republican Party]] to power by electing [[Erik XII Georg of Emerstari|Erik XII Georg]] to the presidency. Erik XII Georg refused to run for a second term, and in 2014, [[Erik Gjord Jakobssen]] was elected, running as a [[Federalist Party of (Emerstari)|Federalist]]. He was elected on promises of tax cuts, more spending on the [[National roads of Emerstari|Riksvag]], and to be tougher on socialist Renochesvia.


==Geography==
==Geography==
Situated in northeastern [[Scania]], Emerstari lies south of the [[Halleran Sea]] and west of the [[Estelian Sea]], providing it a long coastline. To its west, is the [[White Topped Mountains]], a range that separates Emerstari from [[Coelans]]. To its south is [[Canaria]], and it has a maritime border with [[Roele]]. Emerstari is 644,050 km<small><sup>2</sup></small> (248,670 mi sq), making it one of the largest nations in Scania. The lowest elevation in Emerstari is the [[Bay of Stensjon]], near [[Jorviksstad]], at −2.41 m (−7.91 ft) below sea level; the highest point is the [[Karlssonsberg]] in the White Topped Mountains at 2,111 m (6,926 ft) above sea level.
[[image:Kebnekaise Panorama.jpg|center|800px|thumb|The White Topped Mountains]]
About 10% of Emerstari lies north of the Arctic Circle. Southern Emerstari is predominantly agricultural with increasing forest coverage northward; around 42% of Emerstari's total land area is covered with forests. Its highest population density is in the city of [[Yoerk]] on the eastern coast, and its lowest is on the Haller Islands; whereof, are Emerstari's two largest islands: [[Haller Island]] and [[Långeholt]]. Its largest lakes are [[Lake Gjende]] in central Emerstari and [[Lake Salle]] eastern Emerstari. Emerstari also has extensive waterway availability throughout its entirety, a trait which was exploited in the early 20th century with the construction of the [[Ørnland Canal]].
===Climate===
Most of Emerstari has a temperate climate, despite its northern latitude, with largely four distinct seasons and mild temperatures throughout the year. The winters in the far south are usually weak, with only some shorter periods with snow and sub-zero temperatures, and the autumn may even change into spring without a distinct period of winter. Most of Emerstari has a humid continental climate, but the northern regions have a subarctic climate. Emerstari is, however, drier and milder than other places at its latitude; this is due to its wind patterns, and the [[Estelian Sea]]. Emerstari, though, because of its northernly latitude has varying hours of daylight. In [[Rensulier]], daylight lasts for more than 18 hours in late June but only for about 6 hours in late December. Emerstari receives about 1,668 hours of sunshine annually. In the summer, with the exception of the mountains, there is not much difference in the temperature from north to south. The nation's average July temperature is within the range of 12.2°C (54°F) and 21.5°C (70.7°F) while the average January temperature is within the range of –6.8°C (19.8°F) and –1.8°C (28.8°F).

The highest temperature ever recorded in Emerstari was 36°C (97°F) in [[Lillafeld]] in 1940 while the coldest temperature ever recorded was –52.6°C (–62.7°F) in [[Væggenholm]] in 1971. Apart from the ice-free [[Estelian Sea]] bringing marine air into Emerstari, tempering winters, the mildness is further explained by prevailing low-pressure systems postponing winter. Frost, though, remains commonplace quite far south as late as April.
On average, most of Emerstari receives 763 mm (30.04 inches) of precipitation each year. The eastern part receives more precipitation as the western part is in the rain shadow of the [[White Topped Mountains]]. Some mountainous areas are estimated to receive up to 2,000 mm (79 inches) of precipitation.
===Ecology===
====Flora====
The highest part of the country is part of the Emerstarian montane birch forest and grasslands ecoregion. At the highest altitude is high alpine tundra with very modest vegetation and bare rock, skree, snowfields and glaciers. At lower altitude is low alpine tundra with continuous plant cover; dwarf birch and willows up to 1 m (3 ft) tall and grasslands, as well as numerous lakes and bogs. At still lower altitude is the adjacent montane birch zone with small (2 to 5 m (7 to 16 ft)) mountain downy birch (Betula pubescens) above the conifer tree line; some stunted spruce and pine also occur here.
<br />
[[File:Korpimäcki.JPG|right|250px|thumb|A forest in Marlanda]]
At lower altitudes in the northern and central parts of the country, coniferous forests occur. These are dominated by [[Emerstarian pine]] (in drier locations), often with an understory of {{wp|common juniper}}, {{wp|spruce}} and a significant admixture of {{wp|downy birch}} and {{wp|silver birch}}. {{wp|Aspen}} and {{wp|birch}} occur throughout this region, and [[Coelanian larch]] is characteristic of the eastern part of the ecoregion. In the southeast, there are scattered {{wp|broad-leafed trees}} such as {{wp|elm}}, {{wp|ash}} and {{wp|lime}}, but no {{wp|oak}}.
<br />
In the south of the country, there is a southern coniferous forest region, demarcated by the northerly limit of the oak and the southern limit of the natural regeneration of spruce. Mixed with the spruce and pine in these forests are deciduous trees including the pioneering species such as birch, alder and aspen, and the long-lived oak, elm and lime.
<br />
In the extreme south is the southern deciduous forest region, a vegetation cover shared by Canaria. The dominant trees here is the beech, but oak can also form smaller forests. Elm at one time formed forests but has been much reduced by Canarian elm disease. Other important trees and shrubs in this zone include {{wp|hornbeam}}, {{wp|elder}}, {{wp|hazel}}, {{wp|fly honeysuckle}}, {{wp|linden (lime)|linden}}, {{wp|spindle}}, {{wp|yew}}, {{wp|alder buckthorn}}, {{wp|blackthorn}}, {{wp|aspen}}, {{wp|European rowan|rowan}}, {{wp|Swedish whitebeam|whitebeam}}, {{wp|juniper}}, {{wp|European holly|holly}}, {{wp|ivy}}, {{wp|dogwood}}, {{wp|goat willow}}, larch, {{wp|bird cherry}}, {{wp|wild cherry}}, {{wp|maple}}, {{wp|ash}}, {{wp|alder along creeks}}, and in {{wp|sandy soil birch}} compete with {{wp|pine}}.
====Fauna====
[[image:Cervus elaphus LC0367.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The national animal of Emerstari, the {{wp|Red deer}}]]
Terrestrial mammals occurring in Emerstari include the {{wp|hedgehog}}, the {{wp|European mole}}, six species of shrews and eighteen of bats. The {{wp|European rabbit|Eurevian rabbit}}, the {{wp|European hare|Eurevian hare}} and the {{wp|mountain hare}} all live here as do the {{wp|Eurasian beaver|Eurevian beaver}}, the {{wp|red squirrel}} and the {{wp|brown rat}} as well as about fourteen species of smaller rodent. Of the ungulates, the {{wp|wild boar}}, the {{wp|fallow deer}}, the {{wp|red deer}}, the {{wp|elk}}, the {{wp|roe deer}}, and the {{wp|reindeer}} are found in the country. Terrestrial carnivores include the {{wp|brown bear}}, {{wp|black bear}}, the {{wp|Eurasian wolf}}, the {{wp|red fox}}, and the {{wp|Arctic fox}}, as well as the {{wp|Eurasian lynx|Eurevian lynx}}, the {{wp|European badger|Eurevian badger}}, the {{wp|Eurasian otter|Eurevian otter}}, the {{wp|stoat}}, the {{wp|least weasel}}, the {{wp|European polecat|Eurevian polecat}}, the {{wp|European pine marten}}, and the {{wp|wolverine}}. The coast is visited by three species of {{wp|seal}}, and around thirteen species of {{wp|whale}}, {{wp|dolphin}}, and {{wp|porpoise}}. Critically endangered mammals include the {{wp|Bechstein's bat}}, the {{wp|common pipistrelle}} and the {{wp|Arctic fox}}, the {{wp|barbastelle}}, the {{wp|serotine bat}}, the {{wp|pond bat}}, the {{wp|lesser noctule}}, and the {{wp|wolf}}. Listed as vulnerable are the {{wp|Eurasian otter|Eurevian otter}}, the {{wp|wolverine}}, the {{wp|harbour seal}}, the {{wp|harbour porpoise}} and the {{wp|Natterer's bat}}.
<br />
According to the [[Rensulier University]], 535 species of bird have been recorded in Emerstari. Many of these are migratory birds, making their way between Arctic breeding grounds and overwintering quarters further south in [[Scania]] and [[Arda en' Estel]]. The lakes, wetlands, and coasts provide nesting opportunities for water birds and seabirds and the upland regions are home to {{wp|willow ptarmigan}}, {{wp|black grouse}}, {{wp|western capercaillie}}, {{wp|owls}}, and birds of prey.
The only endemic fish in Emerstari is the critically endangered freshwater {{wp|Coregonus trybomi}}, still surviving in a single lake. Amphibians found in Emerstari include eleven species of frogs and toads and two species of newt, while reptiles include four species of snake and three of lizard.
Emerstari has an estimated 108 species of {{wp|butterfly}}, 60 species of {{wp|dragonfly}}, and 40 species of {{wp|wood boring beetle}}.

[[File:Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark in 2018.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Erik XII Georg of Emerstari|Erik XII Georg]] is the King of Emerstari]]
Emerstari has a [[Constitution of Emerstari|constitution]] comprised of three sections which form the fundamental laws of Emerstari ([[Emerstarian language|Emerstarian]]: Grundlager): the Act of Sovereignty (Emerstarian: Suverænitetshandlingar), the Act of Rights of the Citizen and of the State (Emerstarian: Rikesinburgerars åg Stats Rigteshandlingar), and the Act of Procedures of the Country (Emerstarian: Rikesfremgangsmådehandlingar).
Emerstari is a constitutional monarchy and [[Erik XII Georg of Emerstari|Erik XII Georg]] is the head of state and government. The King is commander-in-chief of the [[Royal Emerstarian Military]], passes or vetos bills before they become laws, appoints nobles to the [[Herrers Hus]], appoints officials of the [[Church of Emerstari]], appoints members to his [[Privy Council (Emerstari)|Privy Council]], opens the annual [[Foderelskkongress]] session, chairs the special council held during a presidential change, holds regular information councils with the [[President of Emerstari|president]], receives Letters of Credence, and signs those of Emerstarian ambassadors sent abroad. Additionally, the King pays state visits abroad and receives those incoming as host. Apart from those official duties, the King and other members of the [[Royal Family of Emerstari]] undertake a variety of unofficial duties within Emerstari and abroad.
Legislative power is vested in the tricameral [[Foderelskkongress]]. It is composed of the [[Folks Hus]] that has 201 members, the [[Sammråd]] that has 60 members, and the [[Herrers Hus]] that has 300 members. The Folks Hus is viewed as the chamber of the people, and all laws regarding taxes and propositions to activate the [[Emerstarian Home Guard]] must be started and passed here; the Sammråd is viewed as the chamber of the states, and it safeguards the rights of the states and the minority, approves treaties, and declares war; the Herrers Hus is viewed as a limit on the power of the monarchy, and it confirms heirs, can force a monarch to abdicate and can overturn appointments to the [[Church of Emerstari]]. Most laws only require passage through the Folks Hus and the Sammråd. Folks Hus members are elected via direct {{wp|popular vote}} and serve a term of three years whereas Sammråd members are appointed of state legislatures every six years when 1/3 of the Sammråd is up for reelection; Folks Hus districts are apportioned among the states every ten years (non-state territories get one member).
The President of Emerstari is elected by people of Emerstari through an electoral college every four years, and s/he acts as the representative of the Emerstarian people in government, acts as the head of the Foderelskkongress, appoints chiefs to the various departments of the [[Emerstarian government]] and justices to the [[Supreme Court of Emerstari|Supreme Court]], negotiates for and represents Emerstari abroad, addresses the state of the country in speeches, and fulfills other various tasks assigned to her/him by the monarch.
The Judiciary of Emerstari is the Supreme Court of Emerstari ([[Emerstarian language|Emerstarian]]: Hogdomstol). The Supreme Court carries out judicial review and interpretations of Emerstarian laws. It also safeguards the rights of the Emerstarian citizen.

</div>
Emerstari is made of [[States of Emerstari|seventeen states]] which are collectively referred to as ''Rikesstatter''. Each state has its own constitution, legislature, and governor and is largely autonomous in regard to its internal organization. In addition to these seventeen states, there is the [[Emerien District]], Emerstari's capital district, and numerous territories that are divided into [[Interior Territories (Emerstari)|Interior Territories]] and [[Exterior Terriotries (Emerstari)|Exterior Territories]]. Interior Territories most notably include the [[Halleran Islands]] and [[Mailes]] among others.
States are further divided into counties (Emerstarian: Kommuner) and into municipalities. Both levels have legislative assemblies that are elected by popular vote at the general election held every four years in conjunction with the presidential election. Municipalities deal with local schools, services, environment, and urban planning.
Municipalities are also further divided into parishes. These have little political responsibility, but they are subdivisions of the [[Church of Emerstari]] and have some importance in the [[Emerstarian census]].
There are older historical divisions, primarily the [[Emerstarian duchies|duchies of Emerstari]], whereof there are currently 61. Their only present use is for the administration of the Church of Emerstari, of the Herrers Hus, and of the [[Emerstarian allotment system|allotment system]].
===Foreign relations===
Despite historically having had a more expansionistic approach on foreign policy, Emerstari towards the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, began to change its foreign policy, striving to maintain the balance of power within [[Scania]]. Today, Emerstarian foreign policy initiatives military intervention in conflicts and for peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance programs, and putting Emerstari and its allies first.
Emerstari is a founding member of the [[Venson Union]] and is a permanent member of the [[Venson Union General Council]]. It is additionally a member of the [[Estelian Council]], the [[Northern Scanian League]], [[Allied Security and Assistance Force]], and the [[Scanian Economic Cooperation Treaty]]. Many nations have embassies with Emerstari in [[Coronet, Emerstari|Coronet]] and have consulates around the country.
Emerstari has a {{wp|special relationship}} with [[Soumeland]] and [[Canaria]] and possesses strong ties with [[Marseile]], [[Coelans]], [[Saurland]], [[Rolech]], [[Saexeland]], and [[New Retermi]]. It works with fellow ASAF nations such as [[Arcadia]] and fellow VU nations in military and aid operations.
===Military===

[[image:Flickr - Official U.S. Navy Imagery - USS Essex leads a formation of U.S. and Indonesian navy ships..jpg|thumb|250px|right|Naval patrol in the [[Halleran Sea]]]]
The Emerstarian armed forces, known as the [[Royal Emerstarian Military]], are organized into the [[Royal Emerstarian Army|Army]], [[Royal Emerstarian Navy|Navy]] and [[Royal Emerstarian Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], [[Royal Emerstarian Air Force|Air Force]], and the [[Emerstarian Home Guard|Home Guard]] which can be reorganized into the other forces during times of emergency. The Royal Emerstarian Military employs 551,187 voluntary members and 470,293 Home Guard members through the [[Emerstarian allotment system|allotment system]]. The [[Monarch of Emerstari]] is the commander-in-chief, but much of the work is carried out by the [[Chief Lieutenant of the Royal Emerstarian Military|Chief Lieutenant]] and the Chiefs of [[Department of Defence (Emerstari)|Defence]] and [[Department of Homeland Security (Emerstari)|Homeland Security]]. Despite a recent proposal in the [[Folks Hus]] to allow them into the active service, women are in non-combat positions, most notably in nursing corps. Emerstarian military spending in 2014 was $82 billion.
Emerstari has a nuclear weapon stockpile of 1,802; this is the second-largest stockpile in [[Scania]]. Additionally, it maintains a fleet of ballistic missile submarines and a strategic bomber force.
===Law===
Emerstari has a civil law system based on [[Scanian law]]. Criminal and private laws are codified on the national level, and the Emerstarian penal system seeks the rehabilitation of the criminal and the protection of the public. Petty crimes are tried before a single professional judge whereas serious crimes are tried before mixed tribunals. Many of the fundamental matters of administrative law remain in the jurisdiction of the states. Capital punishment is sanctioned in all of Emerstari.
Law enforcement in Emerstaris is primarily the responsibility of local police departments and sheriff's offices with state police providing broader services. Federal agencies such as the [[Federelskutforskningbyrå]] and the [[Sjeriffstjeneste]] have specialized duties including national security and enforcing federal courts' rulings and federal laws. In 2017, there was a murder rate of 0.9 murders per 100,000 people.

Emerstarians enjoy one of the highest GDP per-capita among Scanian countries ($61,317.40) and a high standard of living. The Emerstarian economy is an example of a {{wp|American System (economic plan)|mixed economy}}. Emerstari has an unemployment rate of 3.1%, with 68.2% of the populated age 15–70 employed.
===Overview===


There is no minimum wage in Emerstari and Emerstarian {{wp|trade unions}}, whereof 87% of Emerstarian workers are members, negotiate wages for a large share of the employees. Both the prominent role of collective bargaining and the way wherein the high rate of coverage is achieved reflect the dominance of self-regulation over state regulation in Emerstari.
===Infrastructure and natural resources===


The state has large ownership in several industrial sectors, such as the petroleum sector (Statsoil) and the nuclear power sector (Rikskærnskkraft). Of the 178 airports in Emerstari, 72 are public and 106 are operated by the state-owned [[Emerskluft]]. A total of 62,019,841 passengers passed through Emerstarian airports in 2008; the busiest Emerstarian airport was [[Coronet Airport]] (Køroeneskjes Lufthavn), 16 kilometers (10 miles) northeast of [[Coronet, Emerstari|Coronet]], whereto a train from [[Kuings Tågsstasjon]] arrives every 10 minutes. Emerstari is additionally, a major shipping nation and has a merchant fleet of 1,203 vessels.
===Energy===


[[File:Gaulosen og Øysand.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Agriculture is a significant sector in Emerstari]]
===Tourism===
The 20 largest (by turnover) registered Emerstarian companies in 2011 were [[Færoe]], Finnssen, Skånien, Karls åg Hens, Ingvar Johann Meijers, Marlandska Verkefabrik, [[Jölker]], Nordin, Johannssens, Kjelden, Kopper, Strandvikke, Uppberg Vertygfabrik, Postett, Ryller, Eriksson–Strandberg, Færoe Lyksvagnar, Pitsahus, Svartskblekke, Birger Donner Ragnvaldssen Kompagne. The vast majority of Emerstari's industry is privately controlled.


Emerstari maintains its own currency, the [[Emerstarian Skille]] (ESK). The [[Emerstarian Riksbanke]] was founded in 1627 and is focusing on price stability with an inflation target of 1%.
==Demographics==
 
The largest trade flows are with [[Canaria]], [[Marseile]], [[Soumeland]], [[Coelans]], [[Rolech]], and [[Saexeland]].


===Resoruces===
At the time of the 2035 census, Emerstari had a population of 71,042,576. Among developed nations, it continues to experience a relatively high annual growth rate of 0.7%, and natural births still account for the majority of its population growth. In 2035, there were 923,527 births in Emerstari, and the {{wp|total fertility rate}} amounted to 3.1 children per woman, well above the {{wp|replacement rate}} of 2.1 but below the all-time high of 4.41 in 1835, three decades after the Census Office began keeping track of fertility statistics. This percentage marks a flattening of a rise in the fertility rate following a recent low of 2.6 in 1995.
====Oil industry====
[[File:Heidrun, Norskehavet (28276260560).jpg|right|250px|thumb|The [[Underøarner Oil Field]]]]
Emerstari is the largest oil producer in [[Scania]]; between 1966 and 2013, Emerstarian companies drilled 4092 oil wells, mostly in the [[Halleran Sea]] and the northern [[Estelian Sea]]. Of these, 1,205 have been terminated. Oil fields not yet in production include the Ostling Oil Field (calculated 65–156 million barrels of oil) and the Ljundberg Oil Field (calculated 260 million barrels of oil). The government controls large portions of the oil industry: 62% ownership of Statsoil as well as the fully state-owned Emersoil.


====Fish industry====
Due to its comparatively high birth rates, Emerstari is not faced with the issues associated with an {{wp|population aging|aging population}} like other developed nations. At birth, {{wp|life expectancy}} is 82.8 with a difference of 2.8 years between men and women.
Emerstari is a large exporter of fish. Fish from farms and catch constitute the third-largest Emerstarian export product measured in value.


====Mineral resources====
Immigration contributes to Emerstari's population growth as well. Emerstari received 355,213 immigrants in 2035. As of that year, foreign-born individuals made up between two and five percent of the total population. This is down from an apex in the mid-20th century due to increased immigration from communist Phoenixia and former Emerstarian colonies.
Emerstari contains significant mineral resources; the most valuable of these are calcium carbonate (limestone), building stone, nepheline syenite, olivine, iron, nickel, and coal.


===Infastructure===
With an area of 644,050 km<sup>2</sup> (248,669 sq mi), Emerstari has an average population density of 110.4 people per km<sup>2</sup> (285.7  per sq mi). However, the distribution of Emerstari's population varies greatly with more than 20,000/km<sup>2</sup> (52,000/sq mi) in the urban area of [[City of Erk|Erk]] and less than 5/km<sup>2</sup> (1/sq mi) in rural parts of the [[Greater Marland Region]].
[[File:Hall, Stockholm Central Station.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Kuings Tågsstasjon]]
Emerstari has 750,014 km (466,037 mi) of road in 2018, but a new road from [[Eidfjord]] to [[Uppsalle]] is under construction, and it is expected to be finished in 2021. Emerstari has right-hand traffic.


The [[Emerien District|Emerien]] and [[Yoerk]] metros are the only underground systems in Emerstari. There are 29,901 km (18,580 mi) of rails in Emerstari, and the railroad system transported 67,029,449 passengers and 37,821,400 tons of cargo in 2015. While all domestic passenger trains are privately operated, the majority of the rail network is owned by the state-operated [[Emeriges Tågrutteskkompagne]] (part of the [[Department of Transport (Emerstari)|Department of Transport]]).
===Ethnic groups===


Emerstari has several domestic ferry lines, the most notable whereof connect northern [[Marland]] to the [[Halleran Islands]], but there is a ferry line in [[Onørkien]] as well, connecting [[Hoonderstad]] to the [[Sydvasten Islands]].
===Immigration===


====Energy====
===Major cities===
Emerstari's energy market is largely privatized. In 2017, energy sources were: oil (36%); hydroelectricity (35.9%); coal (29.3%); natural gas (20.4%); nuclear, solar, and wind power (9%). Despite a 2006 poll showing general support of nuclear power, the building of new nuclear power plants was banned in 2002, and since then, there has been a debate of phasing out all nuclear power plants.


====Science and technology====
Emerstari is a highly urbanized country. Four metropolitan areas ([[Erk Metropolitan Area|Erk]], [[Kalamer Metropolitan Area|Kalamer]], Malmå or [[Malmå Metrapolitan Area|Three Cities]], and [[Hrenshallå Metropolitan Area|Hrenshallå]] metropolitan areas) encompass many of Emerstari's largest cities, including the cities of Erk (5,803,692 inh.), Malmå (4,492,748 inh.), Kalamer (3,703,718), and Hrenshallå (3,404,236).
In 1716, the [[Royal Emerstarian Academy]] was founded by [[Ervin III Karl of Emerstari|Ervin III Karl]], and in 1717, the [[Royal Emerstarian Society of the Sciences]] was established. Emerstarian scientists and inventors from before the 20th century include [[Karl Olof Rynneas]], [[Gustaf Lorens Nordin]], [[Erik Per Johannssen]], and [[Frederik Adulf van Wekehaart]]. The traditional engineering industry is still a major source of Emerstarian inventions, but electronics and other high-tech industries are gaining ground.


Emerstarian inventors held 45,481 patents in 2015 according to the [[Scanian Patent Office]]. Only four other Scanian nations have more patents than Emerstari.
Approximately 51.9% of Emerstarians live within the four metropolitan areas, while 40.9% of Emerstarians live in independent cities or towns, and 7.2% live in rural areas. Rural flight, a political issue for Emerstari from the late 19th to late 20th century, has leveled out. As much as 25% of the Emerstarian population still lived on farms in 1950. Some projections suggest growth in the rural population in the future.

The total population of Emerstari was estimated to be 57,406,218 in June 2019. The population density is 89.13/km² (230.8/sq mi); athough, eastern Emerstari is more densly populated than the west. About 55% of the population lives in suburban or urban areas. The largest city in Emerstari is [[Yoerk]] with a population of 2,690,254, and the second- and third-largest cities are [[Feldkoppen]] (2,290,657) and [[Malmø]] (1,602,745). The only Emerstarian cities that surpass one million inhabitants are thereof; [[Coronet, Emerstari|Coronet]] and [[Rensulier]], Emerstari's dual capitals have a population of 600,131 and 339,900 respectively.
The total fertility rate (TFR) in 2018 estimated to be 2.6 children born per woman, above the replacement rate of 2.1; it remains lower than the high of 4.69 children born per woman in 1872, though. The median age of the Emerstarian population is 39.2 years.
===Immigration and naturalization===
The number of registered resident foreigners in 2015 was 481,785, 30,202 whereof acquired Emerstari citizenship, according to Emerstarian nationality law. This figure is slightly larger than the 2014 number of 30,194. About half of those naturalized are from another [[Arda en' Estel|Estelian]] or [[Scania|Scanian]] nation, and about one-fourth of those naturalized were naturalized under the [[Right of Return law (Emerstari)|right of return law]]. According to the [[Emerstarian Office of Immigration]], 4,891 of those naturalized in 2015 were from [[Coelans]], forming the largest naturalized group thence.
===Emigration===
Starting in the 1600s and continuing into the 1800s, many Emerstarians emigrated to elsewhere in the [[Emerstarian Empire]]. Because of this, today, there are many places and regions with significant ethnic Emerstarian populations, particularly in [[Fyrland]] in the [[Green Union]], in [[New Retermi]], and in [[Baveska]] in [[Sjovenia]].
In 2015, 702,805 Emerstarian citizens lived abroad, the largest group being in [[Canaria]], followed by [[Coelans]], and then [[Marseile]].

The ancient Emerstarians followed [[Emerstrú]] and [[Scanian paganism]], but as early as AD 69, Christianity began to spread into Emerstari. By the 11th century, most indigenous religion and practices were prohibited. After [[Georg I Erik of Emerstari|Georg I Erik]]'s ascension to the throne of Emerstari in 1444, the Protestant reformation began in Emerstari and [[Church of Emerstari|Lutheranism]] was made the state religion.


At the end of 2018, the Church of Emerstari reported that 71.6% of Emerstarians were members thereof, and the [[Emerstarian Census Office]] reported that 84.4% of the population was {{wp|Christianity|Christian}}. There is 12.8% of the population that is irreligious, and 0.6% of the population refused to state. Besides irreligion, the second-largest is {{wp|Judaism}} with 1.1% of the population.
REVISION


In a 2006 poll, Emerstarian respondents stated that:
Emerstari is a religious country in which the [[Church of Emerstari|Emerstarian Church]] is closely tied to public life. Freedom of practice is guaranteed to other religions, while the Emerstarian Church is recognized as having a special place and privileges.

Little Emerstarian literature of note came out of the 1600s, but upon the ascension of [[Ervin III Karl of Emerstari|Ervin III Karl]], there was a resurgence of literature. Among Emerstarian books from this period are ''Hans's Aventyrer til Några der Varlds Okendtriker'' and ''Frederik Kierke''.

For an extended period, Emerstarian art was dominated by [[Canaria]] and [[Roele]]. It was not until the eighteenth century that a truly Emerstarian era began, first with portraits of mostly the nobility, and then of impressive landscapes. Some of Emerstari's most prominent portrait painters were [[Jakob David Engfeld]] and [[Lorens Olaf Erikssen]]; painter [[Karl Johann Dal]] gained prominence in the early nineteenth century for his landscapes.


Emerstarian photography has developed from strong participation and interest since the very beginnings of photography. Throughout the nineteenth century, photography gained prominence in Emerstari through the rise of national newspapers. Today, Emerstarian photographers [[Jakob Bjorn Ljundburg]] and [[Astrid Klasa Johannssen]] participate in key exhibitions around [[Arda en' Estel]] and the world.

Emerstari (Emerstarian: Emerige, pronounced [ɛmərˈje]), officially the Kingdom of the Emerstarians, is a country and semi-constitutional monarchy situated primarily on the Molavan Peninsula in Arda en Estel. It also includes numerous overseas territories, notably in Markion. Emerstari proper consists of its mainland and 416 named islands, the largest of which are the Isle of Haller and Långehold, which lie north of the mainland. The country is the northernmost and easternmost on the peninsula, sharing a border with Canaria in the south and Colane in the west. Its climate is generally temperate with four distinct seasons, hot summers, and cold winters. Maritime influence chills the north while it warms the south. The geography of Emerstari is characterized by many rivers and lakes, forests, and regions of mountains and plains. Emerstari's total area amounts to 644,050 km2 (248,669 sq mi). Of that, water accounts for 62,928 km2 (24,297 sq mi) or nearly ten percent.

Emerstari has been inhabited by humans since the end of the last Ice Age, but the beginning of history in Emerstari coincides with the advent of urbanization along the Hrenshall River three thousand years ago. In the second century BC, the land of the Emerstarians was unified under a single political entity for the first time following its subjugation by the Marsine Republic. Christianity spread from in the country from the first to fifth centuries AD, during which time various petty kingdoms emerged as Marsia receded. In 1047, Erik Segersæl united these pretty kingdoms into a powerful yet decentralized feudal state. Dynastic conflict and land disputes plunged Emerstari into near continuous conflict from the mid-14th to mid-15th centuries, after which Emerstarian culture flourished, and the Emerstarian Empire arose as a colonial and mercantile power.

Since the 16th century, the history of Markion has played an integral role in the history of Emerstari. Wars of succession at home and in neighboring countries marked the 18th century, and their closure commenced a second era of flourishing for Emerstarian culture during the first half of the 19th century. Colonial wars and the Ten Years' War, again, weakened Emerstari. In the beginning of the twentieth century, Erik X Gustaf made a decisive turn away from imperialism and towards diplomacy and non-interventionalism. His reign marked political renewal and liberalization in Emerstari with a view to Christian democracy.

Today, Emerstari remains a center of art, science, and philosophy. It is a developed country with a robust economy and high quality of life. Emerstari is a principle member of the Hrenshallå Commonwealth, alongside Ashuraya and Kophavien, a political, military, and economic union between it and former client states of the Emerstarian Empire.

Demographics

At the time of the 2035 census, Emerstari had a population of 71,042,576. Among developed nations, it continues to experience a relatively high annual growth rate of 0.7%, and natural births still account for the majority of its population growth. In 2035, there were 923,527 births in Emerstari, and the total fertility rate amounted to 3.1 children per woman, well above the replacement rate of 2.1 but below the all-time high of 4.41 in 1835, three decades after the Census Office began keeping track of fertility statistics. This percentage marks a flattening of a rise in the fertility rate following a recent low of 2.6 in 1995.

Due to its comparatively high birth rates, Emerstari is not faced with the issues associated with an aging population like other developed nations. At birth, life expectancy is 82.8 with a difference of 2.8 years between men and women.

Immigration contributes to Emerstari's population growth as well. Emerstari received 355,213 immigrants in 2035. As of that year, foreign-born individuals made up between two and five percent of the total population. This is down from an apex in the mid-20th century due to increased immigration from communist Phoenixia and former Emerstarian colonies.

With an area of 644,050 km2 (248,669 sq mi), Emerstari has an average population density of 110.4 people per km2 (285.7 per sq mi). However, the distribution of Emerstari's population varies greatly with more than 20,000/km2 (52,000/sq mi) in the urban area of Erk and less than 5/km2 (1/sq mi) in rural parts of the Greater Marland Region.

Major cities

Emerstari is a highly urbanized country. Four metropolitan areas (Erk, Kalamer, Malmå or Three Cities, and Hrenshallå metropolitan areas) encompass many of Emerstari's largest cities, including the cities of Erk (5,803,692 inh.), Malmå (4,492,748 inh.), Kalamer (3,703,718), and Hrenshallå (3,404,236).

Approximately 51.9% of Emerstarians live within the four metropolitan areas, while 40.9% of Emerstarians live in independent cities or towns, and 7.2% live in rural areas. Rural flight, a political issue for Emerstari from the late 19th to late 20th century, has leveled out. As much as 25% of the Emerstarian population still lived on farms in 1950. Some projections suggest growth in the rural population in the future.
