The '''Republic of Perkunia''' is a Republic primarily situated within the Perkunia Valley. The country borders [[Baltica]], [[Hugostan]], [[Vokescha]], and [[Ulgistan]]. Throughout its history, Perkunia has always acted like a no man's land between Baltica and the [[Ahranian Empire]]. The two would fight heavily over the control of the region. Being located in a valley, Perkunia is naturally surrounded by hills and mountains, which made holding it a pretty advantageous. For about a hundred years, it was under the full control of the Ahranian Empire, but would be able to achieve independence during the great independence wars of Central [[Argis]]. This saw the young nation transform into a republic, which at the time was quite rare. Due to its advantageous position, it avoided invasion from Baltica and its other neighbours. The nation's capital, Maznas, rests on the [[Balandeli (river)|Balandeli]] river, which flows through the central Perkunian lowlands and eventually Baltica, where it drains into the [[Amber Lake]]. This river has fuelled Perkunias recent economic boom, which has seen the nation expand its manufacturing sector exponentially. Currently, its largest industries remain its ever-growing steel refining Industry and its still developing automobile industry.  
The [[Zuvikija|Republic of Zuvikija]] is a nation located within [[Southern Argis]]. The country borders [[Baltica]] and [[Kalnija]]. Zuvikija is a large nation, filled with many rivers, swamps and marshes. Zuvikija was once home to the [[Old Zuvikijans]], one of the most feared warrior classes of greater [[Baltica]], often leading many coastal raids along the [[Kezanoi Sea]], as well as along the [[Liplan river]] and her many tributaries. This earned them an Infamous reputation among the other Baltican tribes, and as a result of their mighty sea fearing the '''Zuvikijans''' often came into conflict with both the [[Baltica|Highland Balts]] and [[Dolch]]. Old Zuvikija stretched as far as modern day [[Kretia region]], but similar to the [[Kalnija|Kalnijans]], they were steadily pushed out, not by Ras but the migration [[Kretina]] tribes who settled the Eastern delta of the [[Liplan river]]. The later emergence of the [[Kingdom of Kretia]] would completely push out the remaining '''Zuvikijans''', and put an end to their raiding ways. Zuvikijas capital, [[Dubna]], remains the nation's largest city, leading the way to the emergence of a new manufacturing based economy that rivals the likes of its less developed neighbours. Although having lost its passion for sailing and raiding long ago, Zuvikija is still home to some of the best ports among the Gintaric states, only rivalled by the former [[Goja]] and [[Kretia]] docks in Baltica.

The name Zuvikija is believed to have come from the [[Baltica|Baltican]] word “Zuvis” or fish. As the Zuvikijans were known fishermen and sailors, it seems only logical that people along the coast would refer to them as “Zuvikans” or fishers. Again similar to [[Kalnija]], the name may have only become a collective term once Zuvikija became unified in the late 16th century after which it became adopted by the people of the land.

The nation's name "Perkunia" originates from the Perkunia valley, where most of the nation resides. The actual name "Perkunia" is somewhat mysterious, and has many supposed origins. One theory is that it originates from the Baltian war god, Perkanis, and that the region was named Perkunia (Land of Perkanis) because it was constantly at war. Another theory is that the name comes from the Ahranans who came to occupy the region and that they named the area "Perkunia" because the local inhabitants referred to themselves as "Perkanis" or "Children of War". Both theories remain popular, but historians can't agree on which may be true.

The Republic of Zuvikija is a nation located within Southern Argis. The country borders Baltica and Kalnija. Zuvikija is a large nation, filled with many rivers, swamps and marshes. Zuvikija was once home to the Old Zuvikijans, one of the most feared warrior classes of greater Baltica, often leading many coastal raids along the Kezanoi Sea, as well as along the Liplan river and her many tributaries. This earned them an Infamous reputation among the other Baltican tribes, and as a result of their mighty sea fearing the Zuvikijans often came into conflict with both the Highland Balts and Dolch. Old Zuvikija stretched as far as modern day Kretia region, but similar to the Kalnijans, they were steadily pushed out, not by Ras but the migration Kretina tribes who settled the Eastern delta of the Liplan river. The later emergence of the Kingdom of Kretia would completely push out the remaining Zuvikijans, and put an end to their raiding ways. Zuvikijas capital, Dubna, remains the nation's largest city, leading the way to the emergence of a new manufacturing based economy that rivals the likes of its less developed neighbours. Although having lost its passion for sailing and raiding long ago, Zuvikija is still home to some of the best ports among the Gintaric states, only rivalled by the former Goja and Kretia docks in Baltica.

Etymology and Flag

The name Zuvikija is believed to have come from the Baltican word “Zuvis” or fish. As the Zuvikijans were known fishermen and sailors, it seems only logical that people along the coast would refer to them as “Zuvikans” or fishers. Again similar to Kalnija, the name may have only become a collective term once Zuvikija became unified in the late 16th century after which it became adopted by the people of the land.

Zuvikijas flag consists of a Blue Cross, symbolising Christianity as well as the rivers that flow through the nation. The patches of yellow embody the many fields that adorn the land, whilst the patches of white are representative of the hope for peace in the united Zuvikija.
