The Democratic States of Norlansia, most commonly known as Norlansia, is a landlocked nation located on the continent of Nortua, bordered by Greater Normark, New Anea, Mobina, and Vuswistan. The country has a population of 25.4 million, with more than 80% of its citizens living in the southern half of the country. Its capital is Semalle and its largest city is Nance, with other major settlements including Metta, Tryoa, Bruaken, Vallencia, Oberta, Saint Savenn, and Asilan. The country has a temperate seasonal climate.

After centuries of Utobanian, Constantion, and Normarkian rule, the independent Republic of Norlansia was established on 18 June 1908 after breaking away from the Normarkian Kingdom. As a result of extensive immigration during the Chezian War (1992-95), Norlansia's population has become ethnically and culturally diversified. Constitutional reforms in 2002 restructured the country into a federation with states, and has since been a democratic unitary parliamentary republic.

Norlansia is a developed country with a high-income, advanced economy. The Prime Minister and head of government is currently Vitālija Liepiņa, while the President is Basim Curry. The country is part of several major international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the CCA, CTO, and ANS.
