Sol'Vin, officially the Kingdom of Sol'Vin, is a country in Northwestern Abos. The country is bordered by the Mogus Sea to the west, Greater Niagara to the north, and Gryva to the South. It covers an area of XXX and has a population of over 64 million. The capital of Sol'Vin is Askeros but the largest city is Hyelane. Other major cities include Phraxos, Aton, Sim'iw, Hamerfel, and Olphi.
Sol'Vin is a sovereign state and a federal constitutional monarchy with a directorial system. Its institutional organization is complex and structured along linguistic and cultural grounds. It is divided into several four autonomous regions: The Solvindi-speaking Vinders Region, the Kindi-speaking Nikt Region, the Niagaran-speaking Boovarsholt Region, and the constitutionally multilingual Askeros Region. The Askeros Region, which consists solely of the city of Askeros and the surrounding suburbs, is the smallest region by area and the third smallest by population. However, it is the wealthiest region by GDP per capita and the most densely populated region in the country. The most populous region is, by far, Vinders, constituting close to 26 million people. The least populated region is Boovarsholt, with a little over 8.8 million. Sol'Vin's linguistic diversity has led to tensions, reflected in a complex governing system with considerable local autonomy.
The large gold deposits and access to fertile coastal farmland meant that Sol'Vin was a valuable location for the burgeoning empires neighboring the region, and leaving it connected with its several neighbors, although the mountainous terrain meant that control was often difficult to establish over the region. The country as it exists today was established following the 1861 Solvindi Revolution, when it successfully seceded from Greater Niagara, which it had incorporated as several provinces over a series of several decades earlier. The name chosen for the new state is derived from the word "Solosvin", a term found in several ancient local languages that roughly translates to "mountainous".
Sol'Vin participated in the Industrial Revolution, and during the course of the late 1800s to early 1900s established itself as a prosperous mercantile state. After the First Great War, Sol'Vin's republic was dismantled and replaced by a Niagaran-born noble, King Michail I. During the Second Great War, Sol'Vin was occupied by Gryva and Niagara. During the 1950s, the northern half of the territory became independent as Niagara released it. The southern half would be forcibly reunited with Sol'Vin in 1983, as the Third Coalition recaptured its former territory and rejoined it to the northern half.
The decades since the end of the Third Great War has been marked by rising tensions between the Solvindi-speaking and Kindi-speaking citizens, tensions fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal development of Vinders and Nikt. This antagonism has led to several far-reaching reforms, including increased federalization in the 1990s and the implementation of a directorial system in 2002. Despite the reforms, the tensions between the groups have remained. There is signifigant separatism among the Kindi and other non-Solvindi groups. Controversial language laws exist on the local level and the formation of governing coalitions has been historically difficult in recent years, including a 14 month attempt after the 2010 election. However, despite increasing separatism, Sol'Vin has been praised for its linguistic preservation efforts.
Sol'Vin is one of the founding countries of the Global Community. While nominally aligned against Gryva, Sol'Vin is not an active member of the COKC Bloc but rather has a singular alliance with Greater Niagara and takes a more neutral approach in international affairs. Sol'Vin is relatively middle-developed as a country, with progress being made in the decades after the Third Great War, although the country is still not equivalent to its more developed neighbors.
