Arkkonesia is estimated to have had permanent habitation since around 2000BCE, with the arrival of the Norandish people from mainland Thaudia.

The Norandish were the sole inhabitants of the land until around 500BCE, with the arrival of the [[wikipedia:Finns|Svanian]] people in the Arkkonesian isles. The Svanian people caused the Norandish people to be pushed out of most major islands of Arkkonesia except for the cold, north-eastern ones, where they remain today. | |||

Arkkonesia, officially the Confederation of Arkkonesia or the Arkkonesian Confederation, also referred to as the Northern Isles and various variation of such, is a country located in North-East Thaudia. Arkkonesia does not share a land border with any country, but the nearest countries to it are Tujovaan, Rypalohnd, Amilagro, TBD, and Sauthar. Arkkonesia has 31 first-level administrative divisions, most of which are cantons, that have a combined area of [TBD] and a total population of over six million as of 2024. It is a federal elective monarchy (?), with the administrative capital located in Langheersberg, in the Free City of Langheersberg. Other major urban areas include Salsberg, Tishena, Niberg, and Akito.
The first permanent settlement of modern Arkkonesian culture was founded in 418CE by Ínar Knoson, in what is now known as Grœn Bay City. For most of Arkkonesia’s history, it was divided into various small city-states, who would often work together in various regional councils.
It was not until 1632 that the majority of mainland Arkkonesia was unified under one legally binding body, known as the Miðul Isle Confederation. While politically one single entity, the former city-states now in the Miðul Confederation still retained significant power, and would occasionally have organised wars to display military power.
In 1676, the Miðul Confederation launched an expedition up north, where they found what is known today as the Norandish and Ingit people. They then launched a joint invasion of the area, subjugating the people and committing various violent acts, including slavery, an event which the Norandish and Ingit people still criticise the government for.
These regions, while being de-facto under control of the Miðul Confederation, were not officially apart of the confederation in the same standing as the other states until 1765, when the first act of confederation was signed. The act of confederation united many city states into larger states, known as cantons and defined many aspects of the government still in use today, and renamed the country to Arktonesia.
In 1869 the Arktonesian civil war broke out over a dispute of how much power cantons should wield, with the federalists wished for continual of the large amount of freedoms awarded to the cantons, while the unitarians wished for a more unitary government.
The civil war ended in a stalemate, with both sides compromising on laws over the course of 4 years, culminating in the second act of confederation, the constitution still used in Arkkonesia today. The new constitution was criticised for being biased towards to a unitary government, with the unitarians arguing that in order for Arkkonesia to prosper and compete with other nations in the modern age they would need a strong central government. The new constitution also protected the rights of linguistic minorities in the newly acquired cantons of [TBD - various island states], and established official cantons in those regions.
Etymology
The name Arkkonesia is derived from the Greek roots ἄρκτος and νῆσοι, meaning "north" and "islands" respectively. Originally, Arkkonesia was called Arktonesia, but by the time of the second act of confederation, it had been reduced to the name "Arkkonesia" in colloquial usage and was officially changed to Arkkonesia.
Prior to the first act of confederation, there were various names for the islands now known as Arkkonesia, most often some variation or translation of "the northern isles". Sometimes, the entire archipelago was reffered to by the name of the largest island in Arkkonesia, Mithullia, which originates from various Germanic language's word for "middle", and the exact one is unknown.
Many names were proposed for Arkkonesia in the first act of confederation, such as "Borealia", "Septentrionasia", "North Island Confederation", "Mithulo-Suumian Empire", but only North Island Confederation retains some colloquial usage in the modern day.
History
Arkkonesia is estimated to have had permanent habitation since around 2000BCE, with the arrival of the Norandish people from mainland Thaudia. It is believed that the Norandish had a maximum population of 200,000 people at their peak. The Norandish were the sole inhabitants of the land until around 500BCE, with the arrival of the Svanian people in the Arkkonesian isles. The Svanian people caused the Norandish people to be pushed out of most major islands of Arkkonesia except for the cold, north-eastern ones, where they remain today.
