'''Asharia''':
Asharia is an island nation off the coast of North America, specifically, it is roughly parallel to the strait between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. It was first settled around 7,000 years ago by a boat of Europeans, both hunter-gatherers and newly arrived farmers. By around 0 AD they had established an advanced culture which centered around sea-faring, trading and pillaging the peoples of the Americas. Then, in 1604, much newer Europeans came over the island, with many of them deciding to settle there, intermarrying with the locals and mostly speaking their language. It is around the size of Hungary and has a population of 10,582,891 (according to the 2021 Governmental Census.)


The country is divided into two main regions: the highlands, which consist of the Berger Mountain Range, with an average height of 1,501 metres, and the lowlands, which consist of unique forests and plains. The lowlands have a temperate climate that is considereably cooler than that of the highlands, which mostly have sub-arctic climates. 91% of the population lives in the lowlands, with about a third of these living in the capital and largest city of Shanchar.

Up until the 17th century the country was organized into a number of tribes, some organized into larger tribal confederacies, of either hunter-gatherers or farmers, the descendants of immigrants from modern-day France who came to the country in around 4000 BC, for reasons not entirely known. Many of these tribes were also very skilled boatsmen who would sail up and down the coast of the Americas trading and pillaging, they went so far as to discover Iceland in 1485, meeting its inhabitants and pillaging on their first trip there. Also discovering Christianity which some Asharians incorporated into their religious practices.
 
Asharia is a country in the North Atlantic Ocean. It has a size of about 365,000 km2, and a population of about 18.5 million. It is divided into ten states, and has a diverse geography of lowland light, cold and rain forests and forested steppe, highlands, and sub-arctic areas.

On the other hand, Vontens, Vorts and Rerle share an identity based off Orthodox Christianity and somewhat isolated living.

The Northern states of Sheirn and Rerle again are quite a bit colder than usual, and have unique bodies of mythology and habits related to that.

Shanchar and Sheston have historically been perhaps the most powerful states, and nowadays tend to be relatively rich, liberal and developed.

Fenr is known for its farming culture and rurality.

People from Eihan tend to highly value nature, sustainability and the environment.

Tiernmen is conservative and traditional, even to the point where most people (covertly or syncretically) still practice pre-Chrstian religions and rituals.
