The Federation of Hugostan is a nation located within Central Argis, and borders Transbaltia, Baltica and Perkunia. It is a heavily mountainous land, with very few fields or plains. Historically, although it was a part of the Ahranian Empire, it was a barren region, in which few lived. Its hostile environment is what scared many away, and as such the area was poor and underdeveloped. This was the case until the arrival of Duke Hugo, who would build the nation's capital of Hugostad (Nowadays known as Gurvinburg), and helped spark a migration of exiled Dolch. These Dolch would flock to both Hugostan and eventually Estimeria, establishing their own miniature trade network, centered around the Visagris river, which flowed from the Hugostan mountains, the Baltican trade city of Visagris. When copper and other minerals were discovered in the area, it saw the region experience another population boom, as people flocked to the lands of Hugostan for work and the dream of riches. This boom is known as the Bronze Wave, and lasted until the eventual Wars of Independence. Dispite Hugostans best wishes, it was forced to gain independence, or be partitioned between its neighbors.

== Etymology and Flag ==


The name Hugostan, comes from the nations first king, King Hugo the Founder. At the time the nation had been called Stania, and was one of many principalities within the Ahranian Empire. He not only founded the nations capital, but helped elevate the region from a Principality, to a Kingdom within the Empire. He was forever honored when the nation achieved independence, and the young state was officially given the name of Hugostan. Although some have been pushing for the nation to readopt its former name of Stania, to distance the nation from its oppressive past under Ahrana, for now at least, the name Hugostan remains popular among the population.  
The name “Kalnija” is believed to have originated from the word “Kalnas” meaning mountain, a prevalent term among much of the [[Southern Gentaric]] groups. Since the Kalnijans mainly inhabited the Northern Lands of the [[Kunjian Highlands]], which are infamous for their mountains, the leading hypothesis is that the term was most likely used to just refer to “Mountain people”. Although the term may not have been exclusive to the Kalnijans as the lands were inhabited by multiple tribes, it most likely became a collective term after the unification of the territory under [[King Dzintars]].
 
Kalnijas flag consists of a blue background, symbolising the vast horizon of the lands, with a red bottom banner symbolic of the blood spilled for the nation. The pinnacle figure of the flag (Referred to as Jonin) is a knight on a horse, representing [[King Dzintar|Dzintar]], his shield being adorned with the [[Baltica|Baltican Double Cross]] as homage to the Catholic faith brought on by Dzantar. Although the symbol is often compared to the new [[Baltica|Baltican Coat of Arms]], which includes an image of the [[Schwurzen Hunderz|Hundersin]], the two are entirely different.

The Republic of Kalnija is a nation located within Southern Argis. The country borders Baltica and Zuvikia. It is a heavily mountainous land, with very few fields or plains. Historically it has been an independent state that often clashed with the nearby Raskians and eventual Dolch. The Kalnijans originally inhabited what is modern day Northern Raskia, but were steadily pushed Northwards by the expansionary Raskian tribes. Modern day Kalnija almost entirely rests on the greater Kunijan Highlands, that stretch all the way into Northern Baltica. Kalnijas capital and largest city Grobija, rests on the Balandeli river that flows southwards into the Raskian Sveaja. The nation's creation is largely credited to Dzintars the Great (1441-1489), the first King of Kalnija. He would come to unify the scrambled Kalnijan tribes in an attempt to stave off further Invasion and subjugation from the Raskians. In the battle of Runner, he proved himself by slaying the then King of Raskia, King Yurgis II. Kalnijas place within the Kunijan Highlands would eventually prove to be its saving grace, as the Dolch (After their conquest of Raskia) would choose to not invade the lands of Kalnija as they thought they held no strategic purpose, coupled with various defeats that lead to the Dolch fleeing all lands North of the Bjurlan tributary that flowed into the Balandeli.

Etymology and Flag

The name “Kalnija” is believed to have originated from the word “Kalnas” meaning mountain, a prevalent term among much of the Southern Gentaric groups. Since the Kalnijans mainly inhabited the Northern Lands of the Kunjian Highlands, which are infamous for their mountains, the leading hypothesis is that the term was most likely used to just refer to “Mountain people”. Although the term may not have been exclusive to the Kalnijans as the lands were inhabited by multiple tribes, it most likely became a collective term after the unification of the territory under King Dzintars.

Kalnijas flag consists of a blue background, symbolising the vast horizon of the lands, with a red bottom banner symbolic of the blood spilled for the nation. The pinnacle figure of the flag (Referred to as Jonin) is a knight on a horse, representing Dzintar, his shield being adorned with the Baltican Double Cross as homage to the Catholic faith brought on by Dzantar. Although the symbol is often compared to the new Baltican Coat of Arms, which includes an image of the Hundersin, the two are entirely different.
