Josephinia, officially the Commonwealth of Josephinia (Ínts’o: π’Ώπ“‚Ν˜π“„π’° π“€π’°Ν˜π““π’°Ν˜ 𐓁𐒻 π““π“Žπ“Šπ’·, hernicized: SopΚΌa MΔ…ΕΎΔ… Ni Ε½ucΚΌe), is a sovereign state in Elia Borealis. It is bounded to the north by X, to the west and southwest by Kahneska, to the southeast by Siskiyou, and to the east by the Alconian Ocean. Its capital is Halibut while its largest city is Port Royal; other major population centers include Delamore, Gracebridge, Sequeannock, Providence, Fairview, Hamill, and Pembroke. With a population of approximately 6.3 million, it is the fifth-most and least populous country in Elia Borealis, but its most densely populated. Josephinia spans 101,827 km2 (39,316 sq mi), making it the single-smallest country on the continent and among the smallest in the Elias.

Josephinia is located on the middle section of the Elian Alconian Plain, the foothill region of the Abaroskine Mountains which crosses the country diagonally from north-west to south-east; the adjacent Big Misty Mountains form the natural boundary to Kahneska. The centrally located Golden Valley is the country's breadbasket and most fertile region. The densely populated coastal areas are largely shaped by drowned river valleys, low firths, and tidal marshes known as the Tidewash.

Various native Elian tribes have inhabited the territory of modern-day Josephinia for at least 11,000 years, including the Polhetan and the eastern Ama. In 1515, Fallish explorer Francis Edward Barpfylde became the first known Calesian to make landfall in the region. Subsequently, in 1608, the United Wixdon Company created the Colony of Cisylvania around the trading posts of Port Royal and Delamore as the second permanent Fallish colony in the New World after Fastings in X. Renamed in 1702, the inhabitants of now Josephinia fought for independence in the Elian Revolution of Nations in 1759 and became part of the Grand Federation in 1776.

Dissatisfied with Fallish authority in Calesia, religiously prosecuted Cowerers and other minorities flocked to Josephinia en masse in the late 18th century, nearly quadrupling the state's population in the span of 20 years. By 1800, the so-called Steaders had repeatedly violated the Proclaimed Demarcation Line of 1750 and began to settle and colonize the continent's interior from the eastern frontier; the native populations were displaced. Following an armed rebellion in the 1880s, the weakening Grand Federation recognized the approximately 90,000 Steaders' independence beyond the Big Misty Mountains through the 1889 Casper Convention. The Elian Civil War coincided with a final attempt by the Free States to seize back control over Josephinia, before such desires permanently ceased.
