The Charvillean Republic, commonly known as Charville (Oanthanian: Karvilik) is a sovereign country located in central South Laurentia. It extends from the Distan River and a border with the 7 Unions to the west to the border with Daraln in the east. The Elisian Ocean is to the south, whilst the Strait of Laurentia is to the north. Charville is also comprised of one overseas territory in south-east Elisia, Charvillean Fendiralia, bordering the Fleet of Oceans and Fendiralia, and looking out into the Marlos Ocean. The total area of Charville is [area] sq km ([area] sq mi), with a population at the 2024 census of 11,780,245. Charville is a federal parliamentary republic with its capital in Aenva, the country's largest city and economic and cultural centre; other major cities include Ekonsas, Dâbucata, Distanisci, Malidae City and Vastonyen.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited what is now Charville for thousands of years, in form of the nations of Distan, the Malideen Empire (which expanded along much of central Laurentia at its greatest extent) and various other tribes. The nation of Oanthan, with a primarily Nordesian population who had immigrated to the eastern half of present-day Charville over the course of the first millenium, was formed in 625, and with its large army and fast-growing population, had completely subsumed the Malideen Empire by the 12th century. Distan and Oanthan felt general discontent towards one another from the point of first contact onwards, and by 1211 it erupted into full-scale combat between the two nations, sparking a series of conflicts that would later be known as the Three Hundred Years' War. Although Distan won most early battles with its notoriously efficient army, by the 15th century technological and tactical advancements gave Oanthan the upper hand and they emerged victorious by the 1520s. Oanthan prospered in 16th and 17th century Telrova, with rapid economic and cultural growth, whilst Distan, humiliated by territorial losses and widespread civil unrest, began to seek a integration deal with its neighbour to the east.

Oanthan and Distan unified in 1702, creating the federation of Charville. Both royal dynasties continued, ruling in conjuction until they were united by marriage in 1743, creating the singular House of Molvinger. Widespread poverty and economic decline, along with losing the Thousand Days War during the late 19th century would eventually lead to a civil war in 1919-22, where the Republicans led by Josef Schøien emerged victorious, establishing a semi presidential system and holding the first elections in Charville's history; political instability however would continue into the 1930s and 40s. Distan was granted independence in 1960 after a referendum, but the newly-formed government was immediately usurped by extremist group the Uprising, prompting a Charvillean-led invasion of the country in 1962. Victory against the Uprising was declared in 1965 and a war-torn Distan was admitted back into the federation the same year. The 1970s and 80s saw economic expansion for Charville, growth only halted in recent years by a series of recessions and an week-long invasion by Rex Omnia.

Charville has a high-income economy and a very high human development index rating. The country is known for its large finance industry and high amounts of economic freedom, and perfoms well in rankings of healthcare and education. The nation, however, has been plagued with an increase of terrorism in recent years, mainly through extremist group the Third Uprising. Charville is a member of the United Federation of Telrova, the Group of Nations and the Nordesian Union.

Etymology

The name of Charville derives from a word in the long-extinct Malideen language meaning 'two states': 'carvelli'. In a conference in 1698 that would begin the gradual unification of the nations of Oanthan and Distani, Oanthani minister Ulf Kaareson recalled the word from a history lecture several years prior, vocalising it as it would be pronounced in Oanthani: 'Charville'. The name stuck, and was used as a placeholder for the future country in the period leading up to the 1702 unification, and eventually for the country itself. Citizens of Charville are known as 'Charvilleans' but are sometimes informally called 'Chars'.
