'''Eskavia''' ({{wp|Norwegian language|Waldish}}: ''Eskland'', [[Eskavian language|Eskavian]]: ''Eskävisik''), officially the '''Federated States of Eskavia''' ({{wp|Norwegian language|Waldish}}: ''Forbundsstatene Eskland'', [[Eskavian language|Eskavian]]: ''Eskävisikut Häkilnu''), is a {{wp|Sovereign state|sovereign state}} in [[Elia Australis]]. It lies between the [[Medan Ocean]] to the west, [[TBA]] to the northwest, [[TBA]] to the northeast, the [[Alconian Ocean]] to the west, and the [[X Ocean]] to the south. Eskavia's capital is [[Alusit]] and its largest city is [[Mariesfjord]]. Other major cities include [[Fossenvik]], [[Sankt Halvard]], and [[Kalonak]]. With a population of more than 137 million and a total area of XXX,XXX square kilometers, Eskavia is the Xth most populous and Xth largest nation in the [[Teleon|world]].


'''Waldrich''', officially the '''Waldish Confederation''', is a {{wp|Sovereign state|sovereign state}} in northern [[Teleon]].  It lies between the [[Glacian Ocean]] to the north, the [[Waldish Gulf]] to the east, and the [[River Fen]] to the south and west.  The nation shares borders with [[Valduvia]] to the west and [[Widdelia]] to the south.  [[Kingsham]] is Waldrich's capital and largest city, with other major cities including [[Hovberg]], [[Fenmouth]], [[Strandhaven]], and [[Jarlsvik]].  With a population of approximately 44.8 million and a total area of approximately X square kilometers, Waldrich is the 3rd most populous and 4th largest nation in Teleon.
Humans have inhabited Eskavia for at least 12,000 years. The first [[Calesia]]n explorers arrived in 1510, after which both [[Falland]] and [[Waldrich]] established colonies in the region. In 1718, Waldrich annexed [[Fallish Eskavia]] as a consequence of the [[Waldish–Fallish War (1712–1718)|Waldish–Fallish War]] and consolidated the region under its control. Independence movements began to gain traction following the [[Revolution of Nations]] in [[Elia Borealis]], culminating in the failed [[Nybyggerkrigen]] of 1803. The movement began to recover in the 1860s, when the [[First Cuthish War]] severely weakened Walrich's ability to administer its Elian colonies. In 1868, a [[Eskavian Revolutions|revolutionary wave]] swept through [[Waldish Eskavia]] and ultimately brought an end to Waldish rule in continental Elia Australis. Frequent [[Eskavian Border Wars|border wars]] between the newly independent polities prevented the former colonies from taking steps towards [[Unification of Eskavia|unification]] until 1887, when Waldrich attempted to [[Hisuka War|militarily repatriate]] the [[Free State of Hisuka|Hisuka]] peninsula. The war prompted the creation of the [[West Eskavian Confederation]], a defensive alliance between several of the region's most powerful states. In 1903, the Confederation [[Lapik War|invaded]] the Waldish-held [[Lapik Islands]] in support of a [[Lapik Rebellion|nationalist rebellion]]. In the war's aftermath, the Confederation was [[Acts of Federation|consolidated]] into a federal state and reorganized as the Federated States of Eskavia.


Waldrich is governed as a {{wp|Federation|federal}} {{wp|Parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|Constitutional monarchy|constitutional}} {{wp|Elective monarchy|elective monarchy}}.  The nation is divided into 14 [[States of Waldrich|states]], which retain substantial autonomy over their internal affairs from the federal government. The [[Foresitter of Waldrich|Foresitter]], currently [[Algar II]], is an elected monarch chosen by the Waldish nobility and serves as the nation's head of state.  The [[Lawspeaker of Waldrich|Lawspeaker]], currently [[Clifford Goodwin]] of the [[Farmers' Party]], serves as head of government in a role analogous to that of {{wp|Prime minister|prime minister}}.  While the Foresitter retains substantial reserve powers under the [[Constitution of Waldrich]], all executive power is ''de facto'' vested in the Lawspeaker, with the monarch primarily serving in a ceremonial role as a figurehead.  The nation's legislature, the [[Bondmoot]], is a {{wp|Bicameralism|bicameral}} body consisting of an upper house, the [[Landsthing]], and a lower house, the [[Folksthing]].  Legislation may originate in either house, with the Folksthing holding the additional power of forming and maintaining a government.
Eskavia fought several further [[Eskavian Wars of Unification|wars of conquest]] during the early 20th century to unify the historic Eskavian territories, culminating with the [[Onutälpi Annexation Act|annexation]] of [[Onutälpi]] in 1911. During the [[Great War (Teleon)|Great War]], Eskavia initially remained neutral but joined the [[Transmedan Powers]] after the [[Nadauro|Nadauran]] [[Terrafirma campaign|invasion]] of [[Terrafirma]]. The conflict established Eskavia as a {{wp|Regional power|regional power}} in Elia Australis and paved the way for a major [[Post–Great War economic expansion in Eskavia|economic expansion]] in the post-war era. In the 1950s, Eskavia and Nadauro fought a brief and decisive [[Twenty Day War|war]] against neighboring [[X]] which solidified the former two nations as the leading military powers on the continent. Since the end of the 20th century, relations with Nadauro have begun to deteriorate as Eskavia has adopted an increasingly aggressive foreign policy stance.


Waldrich is {{wp|Official multilingualism|officially multilingual}}, with both {{wp|Norwegian language|Meerdalish}} and {{wp|Anglish|Cuthish}} enjoying official language status. Although a majority of the country speaks Meerdalish, each state designates its own official languages for the conduct of government business and school instruction, and both Meerdalish and Cuthish are used equally at the federal level.  A third language, {{wp|Norn language|Eldreyan}}, is recognized as a regional language and enjoys co-official status with Meerdalish in the state of [[Eldrey]].  Owing to its linguistic diversity, the country's national identity is more closely tied to its majority !Protestant faith than ethnic or linguistic borders.  Waldrich is consequently among Teleon's most religious nations, and is unique among developed countries for its high weekly church attendance.
Eskavia is categorized as both a {{wp|Regional power|regional power}} and a {{wp|Middle power|middle power}}, and is sometimes considered to be an {{wp|Emerging power|emerging}} {{wp|Great power|great power}}. It is a {{wp|Developed country|developed country}} that ranks highly in measures of {{wp|Quality of life|quality of life}}, {{wp|Health|health}}, {{wp|Education|education}}, and {{wp|Economic freedom|economic freedom}}. It is a high-income economy which is the second-largest economy on the continent by total nominal GDP. Eskavia is generally considered to be among the most mature {{wp|Liberal democracy|liberal democracies}} in Elia Australis, with strong protections for {{wp|Civil liberties|civil liberties}} and high {{wp|Political stability|political stability}}. Eskavia possesses the Xth largest military force and Xth highest defense budget in the world, and is in the process of developing a {{wp|Blue-water navy|blue-water navy}} with global power projection capabilities. The nation is a founding member of the [[United Congress]], [[TBA]], [[TBA]], and [[TBA]].


The modern Waldish state traces its roots to 1330, when the {{wp|Anglo-Saxons|Cuthish}} and {{wp|Norwegians|Meerdalish}} states of northern Teleon, which had aligned with the [[Rightframed Church]] following the [[Northern Schism]] of 1322, formed the [[Old Waldish Confederacy]] as a defensive alliance against the still [[Lalógan Church|Lalógan]] nations of Arencia, Valduvia, and Widdalia.  Waldrich expanded considerably following the [[Rightframer Wars]] of the 15th century, affirming its independence from Lalóga and the sovereignty of its member states in the process.  The Confederacy's participation in the [[War of the Valduvian Succession]] during the mid-17th century resulted in the consolidation of the alliance into a [[Waldrich as a federal state|federal state]] and the emergence of Waldrich as a world power.  During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Waldrich fought a [[Waldish-Valduvian Wars|series of undecisive wars]] against neighboring Valduvia, causing substantial destruction to both nations and plunging them into economic turmoil.  Faced with the rising economic power of Arencia on its southern border, Waldrich sought rapprochement with Valduvia in the mid-19th century, forming an [[Waldish-Valduvian Axis|axis]] against what both nations viewed as a threat to their continental dominance.  The Axis was defeated by Arencia in the [[Austerian War]] of 1850, forcing Waldrich to cede the southern cities of [[Abbotsfirth]] and [[Brierwold]].  The war pushed Arencia into an alliance with neighboring Widdelia known as the [[Southern Alliance]], while Waldrich and Valduvia formalized their relationship with the establishment of the [[Kingsham League]].  By the end of the century, all of Teleon’s great powers had aligned with one of the two alliances, reshaping the balance of power on the continent.

===Prehistory===
{{main|Prehistory of Eskavia}}
* Humans arrive at least 12,000 years ago


Tensions between the Kingsham and Southern powers culminated in the [[First Continental War]] of 1911.  Waldrich and its allies emerged victorious after a decisive three month conflict, allowing them to reverse the territorial changes of the Austerian War and create a create a client state in the western Arencian region of [[Grand Principality of Abrogilo|Abrogilo]].  The Kingsham Powers established an economic union, known as the [[Nordbundet]], and enjoyed more than a decade of post-war economic growth before the continent entered a [[Recession of 1922-1924|deep recession]] in 1922.  The recession resulted in the [[Revolutions of 1923]], in which revolutionary populists seized control of Valduvia and a nationalist coup overthrew the government of Arencia.  The populist [[Valduvian Peasants' Republic]] immediately announced its intention to leave both the Kingsham League and Nordbundet, leading Waldrich and its remaining allies to invade in 1924.  The nationalist [[Arencian Revolutionary State]] entered the war the next year in an effort to reclaim its lost territories, resulting in the [[Second Continental War]].  The war lasted for six years, ending with Waldrich's defeat in 1931.
===Colonial period===
* [[Calesia]]n contact in 1510, [[Falland]] establishes the [[Colony of Eskavia]]
* [[Waldrich]] establishes the [[Colony of New Forsmark]] in 1549
* Several colonial wars as both [[Fallish Eskavia]] and [[Waldish Eskavia]] expand
* [[Waldish–Fallish War (1709–1721)]] breaks out over colonial tensions, Falland cedes its possessions to Waldrich
* Independence movements gain traction after the [[Revolution of Nations]] and [[Twelve Years' War]], but are setback after the failed [[Nybyggerkrigen]] of 1803
* Waldish defeat in the [[First Cuthish War]] reignites the sovereignty movement and leads to a [[Eskavian Revolutions|revolutionary wave]] in Waldish Eskavia
* Revolutions run from 1868 until 1870, with all 9 former colonies gaining independence as sovereign states


The war severely destabilized Waldrich, resulting in nationwide [[Waldish Revolution|unrest and violence]].  Foresitter X was forced to abdicate, and his successor, TBA, instituted political reforms that resulted in a transition to a constitutional monarchy.  Tensions with Arencia again escalated in 1944, culminating in the outbreak of a [[Third Continental War]] as it sought to reassert its Arencia’s defeat in 1946 led to its partition by Valduvia and Waldrich into a revolutionary populist [[Arencian Peasants' Republic|west]] and a democratic [[Republic of Arencia|east]].  After the war, both Waldrich and Valduvia developed nuclear weapons, bringing an end to great power conflict in Teleon and leading to a prolonged period of geopolitical competition known as the [[Great Feud]].  After a period of hightened tension during the 1950s and 1960s, relations between the democratic and populist powers of Teleon eased considerably
===Early independence period===
* Several wars between various states over border disputes
* [[Hisuka War]] of 1887 sees Waldrich attempt to reconquer the [[Free State of Hisuka|Hisuka]] peninsula, Eskavian states establish the [[West Eskavian Confederation]] as a defensive alliance
* The Confederation repulses the Waldish invasion, several other states join during the 1890s and gradually begin to integrate
* A [[X Rebellion|rebellion]] breaks out in 1904 on the Waldish islands of [[X]], West Eskavia invades in order to expel Waldish colonial rule
* The Confederation is victorious and is [[Acts of Federation|consolidated]] to form the Federated States of Eskavia
 
===Post-unification history===
 
* Joins Transmedan Powers after [[Nadauro]] invades [[Terrafirma]]
* Post-war economic boom
* Socialist revolution overthrown the government of neighboring [[TBA]], joint invasion with Nadauro

Eskavia (Waldish: Eskland, Eskavian: Eskävisik), officially the Federated States of Eskavia (Waldish: Forbundsstatene Eskland, Eskavian: Eskävisikut Häkilnu), is a sovereign state in Elia Australis. It lies between the Medan Ocean to the west, TBA to the northwest, TBA to the northeast, the Alconian Ocean to the west, and the X Ocean to the south. Eskavia's capital is Alusit and its largest city is Mariesfjord. Other major cities include Fossenvik, Sankt Halvard, and Kalonak. With a population of more than 137 million and a total area of XXX,XXX square kilometers, Eskavia is the Xth most populous and Xth largest nation in the world.

Humans have inhabited Eskavia for at least 12,000 years. The first Calesian explorers arrived in 1510, after which both Falland and Waldrich established colonies in the region. In 1718, Waldrich annexed Fallish Eskavia as a consequence of the Waldish–Fallish War and consolidated the region under its control. Independence movements began to gain traction following the Revolution of Nations in Elia Borealis, culminating in the failed Nybyggerkrigen of 1803. The movement began to recover in the 1860s, when the First Cuthish War severely weakened Walrich's ability to administer its Elian colonies. In 1868, a revolutionary wave swept through Waldish Eskavia and ultimately brought an end to Waldish rule in continental Elia Australis. Frequent border wars between the newly independent polities prevented the former colonies from taking steps towards unification until 1887, when Waldrich attempted to militarily repatriate the Hisuka peninsula. The war prompted the creation of the West Eskavian Confederation, a defensive alliance between several of the region's most powerful states. In 1903, the Confederation invaded the Waldish-held Lapik Islands in support of a nationalist rebellion. In the war's aftermath, the Confederation was consolidated into a federal state and reorganized as the Federated States of Eskavia.

Eskavia fought several further wars of conquest during the early 20th century to unify the historic Eskavian territories, culminating with the annexation of Onutälpi in 1911. During the Great War, Eskavia initially remained neutral but joined the Transmedan Powers after the Nadauran invasion of Terrafirma. The conflict established Eskavia as a regional power in Elia Australis and paved the way for a major economic expansion in the post-war era. In the 1950s, Eskavia and Nadauro fought a brief and decisive war against neighboring X which solidified the former two nations as the leading military powers on the continent. Since the end of the 20th century, relations with Nadauro have begun to deteriorate as Eskavia has adopted an increasingly aggressive foreign policy stance.

Eskavia is categorized as both a regional power and a middle power, and is sometimes considered to be an emerging great power. It is a developed country that ranks highly in measures of quality of life, health, education, and economic freedom. It is a high-income economy which is the second-largest economy on the continent by total nominal GDP. Eskavia is generally considered to be among the most mature liberal democracies in Elia Australis, with strong protections for civil liberties and high political stability. Eskavia possesses the Xth largest military force and Xth highest defense budget in the world, and is in the process of developing a blue-water navy with global power projection capabilities. The nation is a founding member of the United Congress, TBA, TBA, and TBA.
