The Saldian Federation is a landlocked country in northern Eracura with close political, economic and military ties with Silua. Saldia is bordered by Silua to the north, east, and south and by Shalum to the west. The country is a federated stratocracy composed of 45 brigades with federal authorities based in Bauskus. It is geographically divided between the Atrausine Mountains and the Rambynas Hills. The majority of the population of 11 million is concentrated in the Rambynas Hills, where the largest cities and economic centers are.
The establishment of the the Old Saldian Federation in the early medieval period resulted from the defeat of Mone the Tyrant by Kaidre the Unforgettable and the subsequent unification of the Saldian clans in approximately 631. The Bauskus Accord is considered the founding document of Saldia, whice is celebrated on Victory Day. After the unification of the Saldian clans, Saldia did not expand past the ethnically Saldian heartland. Saldian armies though did conduct numerous raids on surrounding territories and were highly sought after as mercenaries by rulers across a large swathe of Eracura. In 1522, after the decisive defeat of a Siluan invasion of Saldia, Saldia and Silua signed the Treaty of Bauskus. This treat saw Silua give up all claims to Saldian territory and also established a milatary alliance between the two states that would form the basis for the Bauskus-Ravumo Cooperative Sphere (BRCS) that was established in 1892.
Saldia occupies the crossroads between Nordic and Siluan Eracura, though very strict and long standing policies have prevented Saldia from hosting populations of any significant size from either of the two larger ethnic and linguistic families. Also due to its strict linguistic, cultural, and religious policies, Saldia is considered a culturally and linguistically monolithic nation. Despite its strict cultural and linguistic policies, Saldian citizens enjoy a great number of freedoms as the vast majority of Saldian cultural, social, and linguistic policies are applied to foreign citizens.
