The Republic of Pentium (Pentian: Poblachd na Coavia) is a nation located in Eastern Argis, its closest neighbors Skibbenon in the north and Aurivizh to the west To the South is the Geltic Sea and to the west is the Cetan Sea. It has a total land area of 87,500km^2, making it one of the smaller nations on the Argis continent. The Republic of Pentium has a population reaching approximately 36,780,182, making it one of the most populated nations in its local area. The nation is subdivided into 12 administrative zones that each form regional governments that are responsible for tasks that are delegated from the federal government.
Pentium has long been inhabited by a mixture of local peoples and peoples who migrated into the area for its preferable climate and fertile land, the mixing of these peoples and the native population has been a process that has been ongoing for thousands of years in the nations history. The oldest surviving records are dated to 200 BCE, written by proto-Gelts that inhabited the area. From that period up until 832 AD, the area that currently encompasses Pentium were city states or fledging states and were separate to each other. Smaller wars between city states rarely occurred and typically resulted in few changes to the map. The status quo would be interrupted during a period known as The Troubles, starting in 832 AD a series of progressively more intensive raids from barbarian states began directly invading the western parts of Pentium.
The troubles would last until 882 AD, the invasions culminating into a major offensive into Pentium's heartland after 50 years of on and off raiding and invasions. The King of Whedon's Row, whose name was lost to history formed an alliance with the city of Riversguard to defend each other against the invaders. Utilizing the River Mercy rapid transportation of supplies and materials gave two cities an advantage over the overextended armies opposing them and gained the alliance an impressive victory. The two warriors of the city states fought hard, and managed to repel the invasion of Whedon's Row. During one of the final battles, both kings were slain and a new monarch was given reign over both kingdoms. Edmund Callahan merged both states into the North River Federation, and successfully saw off the barbarians.
The new entity continued expanding its borders, many city states that had surrendered or had been conquered flocked to the banner of the North River Federation. Giving the entity the status of a dominant power in its local region, ending The Troubles in 902 AD and planting the seed of a unified state within the peninsula.
