Estmere (Swathish: Eastmarchon, Flurian: Estme), officially the Commonwealth of Estmere (Swathish: Folksrike Eastmarchon, Flurian: Républyique d'Estme), is a country in Euclea, bordering Werania and Borland to the north, Alsland, Kirenia and Hennehouwe to the west, and the Gulf of Assonaire to the south and east. The country has an estimated population of 59 million, largely centred in the capital city of Chadwelle.
Prior to the arrival of the Solarian Empire, the lands of modern day Estmere were largely inhabited by a number of Tenic tribes related to the Gauls. These tribes were assimilated into the Solarian Empire, and the region was considered an important border province by the Solarians. By the fall of Solaris, migrating Weranic tribes, most notably the Swandles, Waxons and Duthes, had occupied most of the region. These tribes eventually coalesced into the Swathish, organising themselves into seven varrying petty kingdoms, collectively known as the Septarchy. These kingdoms were conquered by powerful Verique lords from the Verliquoian Empire, who organised themselves into the Eastern Marches, an elective monarchy under Richard I.
With the collapse of Verliquoia, the Marcher lords fell to infighting in an event known as the Anarchy, which saw the Vernon dynasty ascend to a much neutered monarchy, with a nascent Parliament. This new kingdom would compete with other Euclean powers, most notably during the Amendist Wars, which saw the reformed Estmere as a major Amendist power. Estmere was also a major colonial power during this period, sponsoring colonies such as the Four Sisters in Asteria Superior. The monarchy would be reformed into a far more centralised administration during the 19th century.
Estmere was a major power in the victorious Grand Alliance during the Great War, but the country was devastated by the conflict, and the monarchy was seriously tainted by an image of ineffectiveness. This led to the abolition of the monarchy by the Transitional Government in 1936. The republican nation which followed became a sponsor of liberal democracy across the globe, helping to found both the Community of Nations and the Euclean Community. The country also dealt with a number of issues in the postwar period, such as the decolonisation of its overseas empire, emergent tensions between the Swathish and the Flurian, and a number of political and economic crises.
The Commonwealth is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic operating under the Northabbey model. It is comprised of the federal subjects of Wealdland and Flurland, the capital territory of Greater Chadwelle, and a number of overseas territories such as Kingsport. Estmere has a social market economy, which is the second largest in Euclea. It is a member of the Community of Nations, the Euclean Community, the Estmerish Council and the International Council for Democracy. It is one of the few states to operate nuclear weapons.
Etymology
The Estmerish name Estmere is derived from the Early Estmerish term est marchen, meaning Eastern Marches, which was used to refer to Estmere prior to the collapse of the Verliquoian Empire. Eventually the term became a single word, and in Estmerish the -en suffix was dropped. Both the modern Estmerish name and the modern Swathish name, Eastmarchon, derive from this. The Flurian name, Estme, is believed to be instead derived from the Old Verique term est mé, meaning sea to the east.
