The Kingdom of Charville, commonly known as Charville, is a sovereign country located in the north-west of Laurentia, in the Arctic regions of the continent. Charville includes the islands of Haathal in the east, Zytavkia in the north-west, Malidi in the south and many smaller islands. The south-eastern of the Charvillean state of Malidae shares a border with mainland Laurentia. Charville is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, with the Ikkanese Sea to the west and Haathal Bay to the south-west. The Strait of Charville separates the islands of Haathal and Zytavkia, and runs directly through the centre of the country. The south-eastern of the Charvillean state of Malidae shares a border with Timiskrane, whilst the CFT borders both Fendiralia and the Fleet of Oceans. There is a border with Daraln in Charville's Dietten Territory. The total area of Charville is 1,049,479 sq km (652,115.75 sq mi), with an estimated population in 2024 of 7,850,000.
Charville is a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. The monarch has been King Charles V since 2023. Charville’s capital and largest city is Aenva, a historic city with an urban area population of nearly 2 million. Other large cities include Distanisci, Ekonsas and Malidae City. Charville consists of eight federal states: North Oanthan, Distan, Malidae, Greater Zytakvia, South Oanthan, Entaria, Highlands, the City of Aenva and the Charvillean Fendiralia Territory (CFT).
The unification between the Kingdom of Oanthan and and the Confederacy of Distanisia in 1702 began the Kingdom of Charville, followed by the admission of the regions of Zytakvia and Malidae later in the 18th century. The country was ruled by a line of monarchs until 1922, when they were overthrown in a brief civil war and replaced with a presidential system. The constitutional monarchy returned in 2023 following political reforms.
Charville has a high-income economy and a very high human development index rating. The country is known for its large finance industry and high amounts of economic freedom. The nation, however, has been plagued with an increase of terrorism in recent years, mainly through extremist group the Third Uprising. A war with Rex Omnia has left the country in a minor recession. Charville is a member of the United Federation of Telrova, the Group of Nations and the Nordesian Union.
