According to this theory, the full name would mean “The Esti of Maria”, which combined would form Estimeria.
History
Dolchic Colonization
Dolchic Baltians became a large ethnic group in what was Baltia, and were primarily located on the northern shore of the Intrian Sea. Through the 17th to 19th centuries Dolchic Baltians colonised Estimeria, founding cities such as Konigshafen and Wilhelmscassel. Despite making up a small percentage of the Estimerian population, the Dolchic Baltians were dominant in politics and established a minority rule. The city of Konigshafen became the economic and political center in Estimeria, leading to the decline of the ethnicly Estimerian cities.
Independence
Through the 1880s Estimeria had declined economically, and unrest had increased. A series of attempted revolutions occured, which lead to Transbaltian officials believing the region to be unworthy of the cost of maintaining rule. Therefore in 1892 the Grand Duke of Transbaltia, Wilhelm III, signed the Article of Estimerian Independence, founding an independent Estimerian state, although de facto still under Ahranian rule until 1912. The new Estimerian state was believed by many Estimerians to be the beginning of native rule, however the Dolch minority retained their powers and titles, and the balance of power was unchanged. The first King of Estimeria was Moritz I, crowned in 1893.
Economy
Despite being such a small nation, Estimeria remains one of the largest financial and economic hubs of the Amber Lake region. Boasting a GDP of 23 Billion, and an impressive GDP Per Capita of 21,432 Ringas, its people continue to be some of the most well of in central Argis. It is a strict market economy, that has seen large liberalization ever since the 80s, which has contributed to a very business friendly and attractive area for companies of all manner to set up shop in.
