Eskavia (Waldish: Eskland, Kilvokenit: Eskävisik), officially the Federated States of Eskavia (Waldish: Forbundsstatene Eskland, Kilvokenit: Eskävisikut Häkilnu), is a sovereign state in Elia Australis. It lies between the Medan Ocean to the west, TBA to the northwest, TBA to the northeast, the Alconian Ocean to the west, and the X Ocean to the south. Eskavia's capital and largest city is Kalonak, with other major cities including Fossenvik, Pelåvano, Sankt Halvard, and Mariestad. With a population of more than 38 million, Eskavia is the Xth most populous nation in the world.
Humans have inhabited Eskavia for at least 12,000 years. The first Calesian explorers arrived in 1510, after which both Falland and Waldrich established colonies in the region. In 1718, Waldrich annexed Fallish Eskavia as a consequence of the Waldish–Fallish War. An independence movement in Waldish Eskavia began to emerge during the late 18th century, but was suppressed by colonial authorities until the 1860s. After the Second Cuthish War, the Eskavian colonies fought a series of wars for independence that ultimately forced Waldrich to relinquish its possessions in continental Elia Australis. Efforts to unify the newly independent polities began during the Hisuka War, when several states established a defensive alliance known as the West Eskavian Confederation. After the Sivo War, the Confederation was consolidated into a federal state and reorganized as the Federated States of Eskavia.
Eskavia remained neutral during the Great War, but maintained friendly relations with the Transmedan Powers due to fears of Nadauran expansionism and subversion by Eskavia's Fallish community. The nation supplied significant amounts of arms, equipment, and natural resources for the Transmedan war effort and emerged as a major economic power in the Elias.
