'''Walzenia''', officially the '''Federated Commonwealth of Walzenia)''', is a country in northeastern [[Norumbia]].

The capital of Walzenia is [[Moienrout]], and its population of 47,703,216 people lived mostly in the region surrounding [[Lake Sovereign]] and the [[Saint Anne River]], with its largest city, [[Lenzenueve]], forming the core of a {{wp|megalopolis}} whose other notable cities include [[Zurin]], [[Jubeugon]], Moienrout, [[Hannes]], and [[Minouche]]. Walzenia is a highly multicultural country, with approximately 30% of Walzenia's population being of [[Indigenous people in Walzenia|indigenous]] ancestry and another 20% being of non-Belisarian descent.

Various indigenous peoples inhabited what is now Walzenia for thousands of years before Belisarian colonization. Four major polities, the [[Niiwo-odakiimin (Walzenia)|Odakiimin]], ruled the region and repelled [[Ottonian colonization of Norumbia|Ottonian]] incursions as early as the 12th century, with {{wp|wiigwaasabak|records}} of their formation dating back to at least the 9th century. Following the [[Great Lake War]] in the 16th century, the Odakiimin's weakened state allowed the Ottonians to gain a foothold along the eastern coast and populate it with persecuted minorities from [[Staalmark]]. Walzenia was formed when this colony gained its independence in 1639, at which point it began gradually absorbing the remaining indigenous polities in the region through both diplomacy and warfare, reaching its modern borders by 1782. The early 19th century was marked by a series of successive {{wp|socialism|socialist}} reforms and revolutions, galvanizing into the contemporary political structure by 1924.

Walzenia (/wɔːlˈzɛnˌiə/ wal-ZEN-ee-ə, -⁠ZEN-yuh) , officially the Federated Commonwealth of Walzenia, is a country in northeastern Norumbia. Its 27 states, consisting of over 1200 communes, cover an area of approximately 1,854,816 square kilometers (716,148 square miles), situated between the Sea of Dakmoor in the north and northeast, North Thalassian Ocean in the southeast, Habbakuk Bay in the west, and bordering Placeholderland in the south. The capital of Walzenia is Moienrout, and its population of 47,703,216 people lived mostly in the region surrounding Lake Sovereign and the Saint Anne River, with its largest city, Lenzenueve, forming the core of a megalopolis whose other notable cities include Zurin, Jubeugon, Moienrout, Hannes, and Minouche. Walzenia is a highly multicultural country, with approximately 30% of Walzenia's population being of indigenous ancestry and another 20% being of non-Belisarian descent.

Various indigenous peoples inhabited what is now Walzenia for thousands of years before Belisarian colonization. Four major polities, the Odakiimin, ruled the region and repelled Ottonian incursions as early as the 12th century, with records of their formation dating back to at least the 9th century. Following the Great Lake War in the 16th century, the Odakiimin's weakened state allowed the Ottonians to gain a foothold along the eastern coast and populate it with persecuted minorities from Staalmark. Walzenia was formed when this colony gained its independence in 1639, at which point it began gradually absorbing the remaining indigenous polities in the region through both diplomacy and warfare, reaching its modern borders by 1782. Beginning in 1848 the country saw a series of successive socialist reforms and revolutions, galvanizing into the contemporary political structure by 1924.

Walzenia is a libertarian socialist federation in the communalist tendency, with a unicameral legislature which elects a steering committee to carry out executive functions, as part of a system of council democracy. It possesses an advanced manufacturing-service economy revolving around foodstuffs, wood and paper products, telecommunications, and tourism. Walzenia ranks highly international measurements of civil liberties, government transparency, economic freedom, education, and quality of life. It is a regional power and a member of several international organizations and alliances, including the Forum of Nations, Joint Space Agency, <<LeftyBloc?>>, and <<NorumbiaOrg>>.


Etymology

The origins of the name Walzenia are historically obscure, but there are two generally accepted theories: the first, arising in the 19th century, was that the name derived from XXth century <<Ottonian?>> noble Mitchellet Alvare ----

XXth century explorer Dietrich Valza, who was notable for his inland expeditions. The earliest use of the name seems to be in writings of cartographer Armand Weber from 1581, as Valzia, which then entered into common usage over the next several decades and eventually evolved into Valzenjia, which was then first anglicized into Walzenia in the appendix of Weber's popular 1644 atlas.

The demonym of "Waltch" is historically contentious but remains in official and colloquial use in most places. Some groups claim that the word Waltch as a nationwide demonym marginalizes some minority groups, such as the indigenous First Nations, who did not willingly adopt the Waltch language, or who feel that the name Waltch describes historical white Belisarian colonizers and not other minority groups.
