Frysa (Frysan: Frys), officially the Republic of Frysa (Frysan: Republicke o'Frys), is a country located on the continent of Aldinea, in Midgard. It shares borders with Ambrose to the west, Velonia to the south, and Galideen to the east. Of the population of 12.5 million people, approximately a fourth reside in the country's capital, Wycliffe (also the largest city).
Frysa was first permanently inhabited by the Pit–Comb Ware culture at the end of the last glacial period, around 7000 BC. The Bronze Age saw heightened contact with foreign cultures, culminating in the migration of the Braesians towards the end of the Iron Age. The Frysan coast was subjected to the Norse conquests in the 1st century AD, which eventually brought the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons by the 5th century. Up to the early modern age, the region was fragmented into hundreds of feuding baronies, which had become tributaries of the Galideen Fellowship by the time of the Stork Wars.
The Romantic period saw a rise in pan-Anglish sentiment that coincided with the Great War of the North, with the region being annexed as an integral part of Ambrose. The Frysan nationalist movement split around the turn of the 20th century, causing the country to gain full independence following the Ambrosian defeat in the First Continental War. The Kingdom of Frysa was wracked by instability and, allied with Engatia during the Second Continental War, was replaced by a republic in 1956. State Minister Joane Hapennys steered the country through the late 20th century, including border conflicts with Galideen and Velonia that saw a rapprochement with Ambrose.
Today, Frysa is a developed country, with an economy dominated by the fishing, petroleum, and banking sectors. The country is a founding member of international organizations such as the Midgard Convention and the Aldinean League. Having joined the Golden Circle Pact in 1975, Frysa hosts thousands of Ambrosian, Suavian and other Pact military forces, and is an important part of the Pact's nuclear sharing umbrella.
