Peuramaa and Lumisaari, officially the Royal Union of Peuramaa and Lumisaari, is a country in northern Belisaria. It was formed as a personal union between Lumisaari, a sparsely-populated island kingdom in the Nordic Sea, and Peuramaa, a kingdom on the continental mainland of Belisaria bordering Hvalheim, Ostrozava, Velikoslavia, and Zamorodna. The country is united under Sigrid Kyöstitytär as Queen and head of state, as well as the head of government for Lumisaari; Peuramaa as a constitutional monarchy maintains a parliament under the head of government Konstantin Mäkelä, viscount of Peuramaa Rajamaat, a non-hereditary title which is extended to every prime minister of Peuramaa.
Peuramaa and Lumisaari are both primarily boreal forest, and Peuramaa has historically been separated between various larger kingdoms and empires while Lumisaari broadly maintained its independence until its union with Peuramaa as a vassal kingdom of the Velikoslavian tsardom. Peuramaa was largely agrarian until the early 20th century and Lumisaari relied mostly on fishing, hunting, and reindeer herding until the latter half of the 20th century when it rapidly digitized and became host to a burgeoning tech industry.
History
Prehistory
The area now known as Peuramaa is believed to have an established, permanent human presence by 8,000 BCE following the recession of the glaciers that previously covered both Peuramaa and Lumisaari. It is thought that Lumisaari, however, was not settled until approximately 6,000 BCE. Human activity in both Lumisaari and Peuramaa can be dated back at least 13,000 years, however.
Velikoslavian era
Early independence
20th century
Starting the early 1970s, Peuramaa began backing the Põjhamaa, ethnic Peuramaan separatists in Aureumterra through various faith and cultural groups organized as non-governmental organizations. Revolutionary sentiments had already been high as many of the groups combined their Peuramaan nationalism with socialist ideals. In March 1981, the Põjhamaa were defeated within Aureumterran territory and retreated across the border into Peuramaa. Aureumterra attempted multiple times to open negotiations with the Peuramaan government to capture and extradite those on its list of known Põjhamaa sympathizers and combatants but none of these agreements led to an outcome in Aureumterra's favor. This resulted in strained relations over the next several decades.
21st century
Geography
Climate
The climates of both countries are largely influenced by their latitudes, with Lumisaari existing just south the Arctic Circle barring some outlying northerly islands. Its winter season is the longest throughout the majority of the country, though the southern regions bordering Ostrozava experience seasons of comparable length. Lumisaari is snow-covered for more than half of the year, while Peuramaa is for approximately four months in the north and closer to three in the south. Permanent snow cover begins between November and mid-December, while snowmelt starts typically in March with average annual snowfall. This snowmelt causes spring floods and rivers to reach their peaks by early May.
Heavy snows contributes to increased logging in late winter as overloaded treetops can break off or bend trees permanently, and continues into mid-spring in regions where flooding may destroy the tree crop.
The Nordic Sea coasts of Peuramaa and Lumisaari experience storms between 10 and 15 days out of the year, while the northern Lumisaari coastal stations report storms originating in the Boreios Sea closer to 20 days. Most of these are in autumn through mid-winter when wind speeds are typically at their greatest.
