Eskavia (Eskavian: Eskävit), officially the Eskavian Confederacy (Eskavian: Eskävitu Suvlita), is a sovereign state in Elia Boreal. It lies between the Free States to the southeast and the Alconian Ocean to the west. Eskavia's capital and largest city is Lippok, with other major cities including Jokkästi and Uvsitu. With a population of more than 25 million, Eskavia is the Xth most populous nation in the world.
Human habitation in Eskavia dates from approximately 12,000 years ago. The Sivot River Valley, historically known as Sivotia, has hosted complex societies since the emergence of the Attap civilization c. 2100 BCE, and is widely recognized as one of the world's seven independent cradles of civilization. The Attap were followed by a number of societies including the Kikla, Paklossu, and Ulko. The Sivotian world underwent a rapid societal collapse c. 700 BCE, during which the Eska, from whom the modern Eskavic peoples are descended, migrated into the region. By the time of Calesian first contact in 1561, most of Sivotia was dominated by a loose confederacy of Eskavic city-states led by the hegemonic Kingdom of Lippok. Eskavia was one of the few indigenous societies in the Elias to avoid widespread settler colonialism during the early modern era, largely maintaining its independent social and political structures while adapting them to Calesian norms. Eskavia was quick to embrace Gregorianism and condolidate into a federated nation state, exploiting imperial competition between the Calesian powers in order to retain sovereignty over its core territory.
During the Revolution of Nations, colonial revolutionaries launched a failed invasion of Eskavia in order to facilitate future settlement in the Sivot Valley. Upon the war's conclusion in 1776, Eskavia was placed under the protection of Waldrich as a buffer to contain the newly independent Free States. However, Waldrich was largely unable to project power in Elia Boreal following its military defeat in the Twelve Years' War, allowing the Free States to annex Eskavia in 1785.
