The Charvillean Republic, commonly known as Charville (Oanthanian: Karvilik) is a sovereign country located in central South Laurentia. It extends from the Distan River and a border with the 7 Unions to the west to the border with Daraln to the east, as well as a border with the Seventh German Reich on the islands of Mansøorland. The Elisian Ocean is to the south, whilst the Strait of Laurentia is to the north. Charville is also comprised of one overseas territory in south-east Elisia, Charvillean Fendiralia, bordering the Fleet of Oceans and Fendiralia, and looking out into the Marlos Ocean. The total area of Charville is [area] sq km ([area] sq mi), with a population at the 2024 census of 11,780,245. Charville is a federal parliamentary republic with its capital in Aenva, the country's largest city and economic and cultural centre; other major cities include Ekonsas, Dâbucata, Distanisci, Malidae City and Vastonyen.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited what is now Charville for thousands of years, in form of the nations of Distan, the Malideen Empire (which expanded along much of central Laurentia at its greatest extent) and various other tribes. The country has its roots in Nordesian settlement of the region from the 4th century onwards, with the

Oanthan and Distan unified in 1702, creating the federation of Charville. Both royal dynasties continued, ruling in conjuction until they were united by marriage in 1743, creating the singular House of Molvinger. Widespread poverty and economic decline during the late 19th century would eventually lead to a civil war in 1919-22, where the Republicans led by Josef Schøien emerged victorious, establishing a semi presidential system and holding the first elections in Charville's history.

Written history in what is now Charville began in 825 with the first arrival of Nordesian settlers on Haathal Island, although humans had been present in the region for at least a millenium prior, in the form of the indigenous nations of Distan, the Malideen Empire and several tribes on Tuukitkia Island to the west. Oanthan—the newly established Nordesian nation—had completely occupied Malideen territory by the 12th century, and would continue to grow in population, developing a bitter rivalry with Distan to the north. The two states lived in widespread poverty and relative isolation from the rest of Telrova until the early 16th century, when advancements in seafaring began an era of trade and economic growth for Oanthan in particular. Distan, on the other hand, was plagued throughout the 1600s with widespread poverty and civil unrest, prompting the Distani nobility to seek a unification with Oanthan. In 1702, the two nations united to form Charville, governed by a diarchy until the Oanthanian and Distani dynasties married into one another in the latter half of the century. However, by 1919, the monarchy had fallen out of favour with the Charvillean people, sparking a civil war that would end in 1922 with a Republican victory, leading to Charville adopting a President and holding its first election in history. Distan, unhappy at the seemingly Oanthanian-centric government, acheived independence briefly between 1960-5, during at which time a Nordesian supremascist group The Uprising took over the nation in a coup, only toppled after a long and bloody Charvillean military intervention—this would later be known as the Second Civil War. The 1970s and 80s saw an economic and cultural boom for Charville, only halted in recent years by a number of recessions and a week-long attempted invasion by Rex Omnia.

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, and perfoms well in rankings of healthcare and education. The nation, however, has been plagued with an increase of terrorism in recent years, mainly through extremist group the Third Uprising. Charville is a member of the United Federation of Telrova, the Group of Nations and the Nordesian Union.

Etymology

The name of Charville derives from a word in the long-extinct Malideen language meaning 'two states': 'carvelli'. In a conference in 1698 that would begin the gradual unification of the nations of Oanthan and Distani, Oanthani minister Ulf Kaareson recalled the word from a history lecture several years prior, vocalising it as it would be pronounced in Oanthani: 'Charville'. The name stuck, and was used as a placeholder for the future country in the period leading up to the 1702 unification, and eventually for the country itself. Citizens of Charville are known as 'Charvilleans' but are sometimes informally called 'Chars'.
