Rosland-Iskrell (Iskron: Rosland-Iskrona, Roskan: Rosland-Iskrellen), officially the Kingdom of Rosland-Iskrell (Iskron: Kongeriget Rosland-Iskrona, Roskan: Konungariket Rosland-Iskrellen), is a sovereign state located in Svalland in Northern Calesia. It lies between the North Sea to the north, Waldrich to the west, and the Swarin Sea and East Ruthen to the south. Remote Kongerikøen Island, located in the South Medan Ocean, is a dependency of Rosland-Iskrell. The capital and largest city in Rosland-Iskrell is Ornsholt.
Rosland-Iskrell was part of the Waldic Empire from the 9th century until the early 11th century. Following the sack of Sydenham in 1031, the Empire transitioned into a loose defensive alliance called the Old Waldish Confederacy which controlled the majority of modern day Rosland. This confederacy remained largely untouched until the Catabole in the mid-14th century. During the !Reformation, most of the Roskans embraced Presterism. In 1472, Presterist nobles launched a rebellion against the repression from Alsvik, igniting a continental war that ultimately led to Waldrich's defeat. In the aftermath, nobles from the neighbouring kingdom of Iskrell united swiftly with the Roskans and established a personal union under King Olaf I of Iskrell. This kingdom, alongside the Ruthish Confederation, became one of the few major Presterist powers in Calesia and even established a small colony in Elia Australis. The kingdom also established a modest colonial empire in Hylasia, however, it remained a minor power on the world stage.
Rosland-Iskrell, a staunch ally of Waldrich, swiftly joined the Transmedan Powers at the start of the Great War and was soon invaded by Ruthish forces, leading to a brutal five-year conflict. The tide turned in 1938 with the liberation of the capital in August, and by late 1939, Ruthish forces were fully expelled. The nation has remained a loyal ally of Waldrich, playing an increasingly active role in international politics after the Great War. It has participated in the Chaibian War and contributed to the UCMAR peacekeeping force. Economically, Rosland-Iskrell began to prosper significantly in the 1970s, when oil began to be pumped from the North Sea. The country assembled a sizable state-owned company sector relatively quickly to support the state economy, and the country's standard of living began to rise.
Rosland-Iskrell is a Federal parliamentary consitutional monarchy, the current monarch being Gregers VI. The nation is a member of the United Congress and the Nordbund.
