Blostland, officially the Republic of Blostland (Blostlandic: Republiken Blostland), is a Parlimentary Republic located in eastern Euclea in Kylaris. It is bordered to the north by the North Sea, to the east by Floerian Sea, and to the south by Gulf of Assonaine. At 102,775 square kilometres (39,682 sq mi). The capital and largest city is Raudrena. Blostland has a total population of 6.10 million, and a low population density of 67.1 inhabitants per square kilometre (173.8/sq mi), with around 75% of Blostlanders residing in urban areas in the coastal and southern half of the country.
Blostland has a nature dominated by forests and large swaths of plains. Many long rivers run from the Skooglän range through the landscape, primarily emptying into the North Sea. It is an island nation and most of the population lives near a major body of water on the coastline. With the country ranging from 55°N to 69°N, the climate of Blostland is diverse. The usual conditions are mild for the latitudes with a maritime west, continental centre and subarctic north. Snow cover is infrequent in the densely populated west, but reliable on higher latitudes. Furthermore, the rain shadow of the Skooglän results in quite dry winters and sunny summers in much of the country.
Weranic peoples have inhabited Blostland (Nordavia at the time) since prehistoric times, emerging into history as the Blōst, (Blostlandic: Blost) Skogreth, (Blostlandic: ) and Torgoth (Blostlandic: ); in the early 8th century the sea marauders known as the Ghallish would also establish a community on the island. An independent Blostlandic state emerged during the early 9th century alongside two other Kingdoms after the collapse of the First North Sea Empire, fighting between the three would end with Blostland fully annexing the two other Kingdoms by the early 1200s. By the late 1400s and early 1500s Blostland would start expanding, attempting to compete with its western neighbors, even establishing the colony of Eldmark and a renowned royal navy.
Blostlandic colonial territories outside the Island were gradually lost during the 17th and 18th centuries, with the imperial era of Blostland ending with the Vallmo uprising in 1887 and the annexation of the line islands by Blostlad in 1889. By the turn of the 1900s Blostland would have both economic growth and new political instability with the rise of Functionalism both in the army and Nobility leading to the election of 1923 where the leader of the Fuctionalist party, Järnflotten, Karl Åberg; would become prime minister. After using his political power to ban Vallmo Parti in 1925 and create a new powerful government position known as Anförare; with Blostland becoming essentially a Fuctionalist dictatorship under Åberg not long after. Siding with the Fuctionalist entente Blostland would join the Great War fighting in various battles across all fronts, Blostland would be invaded by the Grand Alliance in 1934 with the war ending not long after in 1935. Directly after the war Blostland would declare the monachy’s role in the Functionalist government too grave of a crime; establishing a Republic in the wake of the postwar world.
