Eskavia (Waldish: Eskland, Eskavian: Eskävisik), officially the Federated States of Eskavia (Waldish: Forbundsstatene Eskland, Eskavian: 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 and consolidated the region under its control. An Eskavian national identity began to emerge after the Revolution of Nations in Elia Borealis, culminating in the failed Nybyggerkrigen of 1803. The Eskavian independence movement did not recover until the 1860s, when the Second Cuthish War severely weakened Walrich's ability to administer its Elian colonies. In 1868, a revolutionary wave swept through Waldish Eskavia and ultimately brought an end to Waldish rule in continental Elia Australis. Frequent border wars between the newly independent polities prevented the former colonies from taking steps towards unification until 1887, when Waldrich attempted to militarily repatriate the Hisuka peninsula. The war prompted the creation of the West Eskavian Confederation, a defensive alliance between several of the region's most powerful states. In 1903, the Confederation invaded the Waldish-held Lapik Islands in support of a nationalist rebellion. In the war's aftermath, the Confederation was consolidated into a federal state and reorganized as the Federated States of Eskavia.
Eskavia fought several further wars of conquest during the early 20th century to unify the historic Eskavian territories, culminating with the annexation of Jolnu in 1911. During the Great War, Eskavia initially remained neutral but joined the Transmedan Powers after the Nadauran invasion of Terrafirma. The war established Eskavia as a regional power in Elia Australis and paved the way for a major economic expansion which lasted into the 1970s. Eskavia adopted an increasingly assertive foreign policy beginning in the 1980s, intervening militarily in several major conflicts throughout the Elias.
Eskavia is generally considered to be a regional power, middle power, and emerging great power. It is a developed country that ranks highly in measures of quality of life and economic development. It leads Elia Australis in both income and GDP per capita, and is the second-largest economy on the continent by total nominal GDP. The nation is a founding member of the United Congress, TBA, and TBA.
