The Votyalic ethnic group initially emerged in and around modern-day [[Masovya]] and Votyalia in the early centuries CE, and were initially ruled by various disparate {{wpl|Knyaz|knyazes}} over the course of the 6th through the 10th centuries. By around 900 CE, the Principality of the ''Golden Valley'', or Zolodolina, had begun consolidating significant power across the southern swathes of modern Votyalia. This trend would continue, and culminate in a series of wars between the Princes of the Golden Valley to the east and the various Principalities of [[Galkino-Vraskoye|Galkino]], [[Naruksovo]], and [[Velikiy Kalmiya]] to the north and east. By the early 13th century, after subjugating these smaller princes and extending their rule across much of the land near the [[Rassvetmore Sea|Rassvetmore]], ''Silver'' Prince [[Andrei II of Zolodolina|Andrei II]] declared the Grand Principality of the Golden Valley in 1228. Andrei's [[Obolensky family (Votyalia)|Obolensky]] kin would continue to rule Zolodolina after his death in 1249, intermarrying with their conquered subjects and thus strengthening their hold on power. However, constant conflicts between the Obolensky realm and neighbors in modern-day [[Masovya]], [[Kolchakska]], and [[Vrilissia]] would threaten the stability of the Grand Principality.


In time, and particularly after a humiliating defeat to a coalition of enemy forces termed the ''[[Glorious Battle (Votyalia)|Glorious Battle]]'' in early 1401, enough opposition had mounted against the reigning [[Vasily I of Zolodolina|Vasily I Obolensky]] and the family of his increasingly disliked wife [[Nadezhda Antonovna Privalova|Nadezhda Privalova]] to foment a {{wpl|Coup d'état|coup d'état}} led by nobleman, general, and Obolensky cousin [[Nikolay I of Zolodolina|Nikolay Sokolov]]. The [[Sokolov coup d'état|Sokolov coup]] took place in January 1404, and saw Vasily I and his three sons exiled to the far-northern wastes beyond even the reach of the newly-crowned Grand Prince. Vasily's wife Nadezhda, and most of her [[Privalov family (Votyalia)|Privalov]] relatives, were executed on the main square of the [[Zolodolina Kremlin]] in May 1404; three of her nieces and one male cousin, all under the age of ten, were spared and sent to convents and monasteries respectively by Sokolov. Sokolov, and his own descendants, were able to recover from the battles which had felled the Obolensky regime; by the 17th century, much of modern Votyalia and several neighboring states had been conquered, and in 1633 [[Nikolay IV of Zolodolina|Nikolay IV Sokolov]] proclaimed the {{wpl|Divine right of kings|Gods-Given}} Empire of the Votyalic Peoples, which was eventually codified as the Votyalic Empire.

Votyalia (Votyalic: Вотялья, tr. Votyal'ya), officially the Votyalic Federation (Votyalic: Вотялийская Федерация, tr. Votyaliyskaya Federatsiya) is a sovereign federal semi-presidential parliamentary republic located in north-eastern Borealis. Votyalia borders Masovya to the west, and both Kolchakska and Vrilissia to the south; to the north rests the ocean and the north pole. Votyalia's land area is __________ km2, or __________ sq mi, making it one of the largest nations in the world. Its estimated population in 2018 was over 95 million, making it one of the most populated nations among the nations of the Eastern Continents. The majority of the nation's population lives in the south, and particularly the south-east near the inland sea of Rassvetmore. Major cities include the national capital, Zolodolina, as well as Galkino-Vraskoye and the port city of Varykino. Historically, Votyalia comprised a significant part of the Votyalic Empire, which included neighboring states such as Masovya and Kolchakska until its collapse in the late 19th-century.

The Votyalic ethnic group initially emerged in and around modern-day Masovya and Votyalia in the early centuries CE, and were initially ruled by various disparate knyazes over the course of the 6th through the 10th centuries. By around 900 CE, the Principality of the Golden Valley, or Zolodolina, had begun consolidating significant power across the southern swathes of modern Votyalia. This trend would continue, and culminate in a series of wars between the Princes of the Golden Valley to the east and the various Principalities of Galkino, Naruksovo, and Velikiy Kalmiya to the north and east. By the early 13th century, after subjugating these smaller princes and extending their rule across much of the land near the Rassvetmore, Silver Prince Andrei II declared the Grand Principality of the Golden Valley in 1228. Andrei's Obolensky kin would continue to rule Zolodolina after his death in 1249, intermarrying with their conquered subjects and thus strengthening their hold on power. However, constant conflicts between the Obolensky realm and neighbors in modern-day Masovya, Kolchakska, and Vrilissia would threaten the stability of the Grand Principality.

In time, and particularly after a humiliating defeat to a coalition of enemy forces termed the Glorious Battle in early 1401, enough opposition had mounted against the reigning Vasily I Obolensky and the family of his increasingly disliked wife Nadezhda Privalova to foment a coup d'état led by nobleman, general, and Obolensky cousin Nikolay Sokolov. The Sokolov coup took place in January 1404, and saw Vasily I and his three sons exiled to the far-northern wastes beyond even the reach of the newly-crowned Grand Prince. Vasily's wife Nadezhda, and most of her Privalov relatives, were executed on the main square of the Zolodolina Kremlin in May 1404; three of her nieces and one male cousin, all under the age of ten, were spared and sent to convents and monasteries respectively by Sokolov. Sokolov, and his own descendants, were able to recover from the battles which had felled the Obolensky regime; by the 17th century, much of modern Votyalia and several neighboring states had been conquered, and in 1633 Nikolay IV Sokolov proclaimed the Gods-Given Empire of the Votyalic Peoples, which was eventually codified as the Votyalic Empire.
