Rowyden (/rɔːwɪdɛn/ RAW-wih-den), officially the Union of Rowyden, is a sovereign country encompassing the continent of Rowyden, the island of Sharlow, the smaller surrounding islands, and dozens of overseas autonomous territories. Most of its land area of 32,356,439 km2 (12,493,000 mi2) is characterized by cold, wet, mixed forests, although the southern coast is warm year-round. It is surrounded by oceans on all sides. The de facto administrative capital of Rowyden is Gydenborg, while its largest city is Mikelby. Other major urban centers include Lisitas, Bramwin, Leraster, and Leander.
Humans first arrived in Rowyden around 30,000 CE during the last ice age Beginning in the 15th century, large numbers of Proto-Valsian peoples of undocumented origins began arriving by sea on the west side of the continent, conquering and assimilating much of the indigenous population by the beginning of the 17th century, leaving a plethora of large, independent warlord states in the wake of the campaign. In the 1640s, the Archimandry of Holburn was the first recorded great power on the continent, briefly conquering most of the continent’s eastern half, before collapsing during the Malachite Wars from 1719-1742. Industrialization of the continent began amid these conflicts, with the first commercial steam engines entering use in Leraster in 1732. The ensuing economic and technological boom led to dramatic urbanization and socioeconomic upheaval, until much of the continent began transitioning into a deindustrialized service-based economy in the mid-20th century. Rising discontentment due to precarious economic conditions, environmental degradation, and rising authoritarianism led to the Vital Revolution in 1979, which eventually unified the continent into the modern polity of Rowyden.
Today, Rowyden is a libertarian socialist council federation where the predominant political current is Vitalism. It is divided into 6 regions, 42 zones, and 9,735 autonomies. The federal government is based upon the Community for Equity, Research, Ecology, and Security (CERES), and a system of advanced e-democracy is implemented at all levels. Rowyden utilizes a decentralized planned economy in which basic needs have been decommodified and all firms are either employee-owned, community-owned, or state-operated, with production coordinated through an advanced decision support system managed by CERES, named DAGDA. Major industries and exports include foodstuffs, forest products, commercial vehicles, industrial machinery, telecommunications, and tourism. Rowyden ranks highly in international measurements of political freedoms, government transparency, education, and quality of life.
Etymology
The name Rowyden is derived from the Middle Rowysh word ‘’prowetinne’’ (“prophetess”). It first entered common usage in the mid-1700s as a derivation of Prowetinnesrewlm, referring to the Archimandry of Holburn and the wide-reaching influence of Archabbess Alinora the Most Holy. Though the “Prophetess’s Realm” dissolved in 1739, the name remained in use for at least a generation and began being used as a common name for the continent by the turn of the 19th century.
