Lorcania (Ghaillish: Lorcáinann), officially the Union of Lorcania (Ghaillish: Aontas na Lorcáinann), is a federation of twelve states in northwestern Asteria Superior, bounded by the Vehemens to the west and bordering Cassier to the north and Nuxica to the south. With a population of 46.5 million, Lorcania is considered a regional power. Calderdon is the capital, while Na Naoimh is the largest city.
Prior to contact with Euclea, the region was inhabited primarily by the Hauronian and Rakensian peoples. After Assim Asteris opened the country up to colonisation in 1488, the kingdoms of Caldia and Estmere became the primary colonial powers in the region. Their colonies in the area would grow considerably in the following years, although in the aftermath of the Gilded Wars the entire region would be come under Gaullican control alongside the rest of the western seaboard. The local Amendist populations clashed with the new Catholic ascendancy, which helped to fuel anti-Gaullican and colonial nationalist sentiments, eventually culminating in the Kindalk Massacre in 1764 and Lorcanian involvement in the War of Independence. Following the victory of the United Colonies during the war, dreams of a pan-Asterian federation were dashed, and the northern and southern colonies went their separate ways.
The seven states of Lorcania entered into federation in 1771, ratifying a constitution by the next year. Five additional states would be admitted to the union throughout post-independence history. From the 1800s onward, the Union would engage in the Eastward Drive, in which it attempted to expand through the interior of the Asterian continent in order to obtain an eastern port. These ambitions would culminate in the Interior Wars with the other Asterian powers, and ultimately the Union would be unsuccessful in gaining a foothold in the east. Following increasing societal pressures and a powerful single-tax movement, Lorcania would experience societal upheaval throughout the 1910s, culminating in the Great Reforms of 1927, which would extend voting privileges to all and introduce a land tax across the Union. During the Great War, Lorcania engaged in armed neutrality, before eventually joining the Grand Alliance. In the post-war era, the Union engaged in a brief stand-off with syndicalist Chervolesia, before embracing a broader foreign policy.
Today, Lorcania is a federal presidential constitutional republic, operating a mixed economy with a GDP (PPP) per capita of $45,408. Lorcania is unique in that it maintains a land tax across all sectors. The current President is Cormac Ó Néill, while the current Vice-President is Liam Richmond. The union is a member of the Community of Nations, ICD, ITO and GIFA.
