Sordland ({{wp|Sann|Sann}: Sordland), officially the Kingdom of Sordland is a Constitutional monarchy located in central Earth. Sordland lies between the Norway to the south, the Samarra to the northwest and the Sweden to the northeast. It shares borders with Sweden and Finlandto the north and Norway, to the South-east.

The Sann migrated from southwestern Norway to Sordland between the 5th and 7th centuries. Viking-dominated kingdoms such as Sanna, Sordlada and Vandus ruled the region in competition with rival Sann kingdoms such as Yongjan, Swabiland and Lunda. European contacts began in 1362 with a Portuguese diplomatic mission, which had emerged as a regional power by the end of the 14th century. Sordland reached its peak in the 17th century until it was destroyed, but King Eric IV the Great quickly reunited the divided territories and established the short-lived Kingdom of Liburia (1625–1637), of which he was the sole monarch. His kingdom collapsed and became a small state again in the following century, until the reign of João Bragazza (the first ruler of the unified Sordland), the first monarch of the modern Denwig dynasty. The Sordland system of government was centralized and transformed into a modern absolute monarchy under the reign of King Alexa Romanikov from 1855 to 1930. During World War I, Sordland sided with the Allies, a political decision to amend unequal treaties. After a bloodless revolution in 1937, Sordland became a constitutional monarchy, and became an ally of Nazi Germany in World War II in late 1945. After the accession of King Mundo Amauel Mbarto I, the monarchy's historically influential role in politics was restored. During the Cold War, Sordland remained neutral in the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the mid-1970s and 1990s, Sordland also alternated between democracy and military rule.

The current emperor and head-of-state since 2019 is Werner V, brother of late Leopold III. With over 100 million inhabitants, it is the 3rd most populous country in Esermia. The capital city of Manstedten is a centre for Darden culture, with Badthal in Ardeniche province being the largest city and main industrial hub. New Colcha maintains a strong economy and large military, and exerts great diplomatic power within both the Darden and greater Esermian spheres. As a historical defender of Doxanism and Darden culture New Colcha is home to various heritage sites, and is naturally diverse with forests, plains, alpine mountains and swamps.

Military

The military of New Colcha, known as the Koigstehr, is comprised primarly of the Vefecht (Land), Fliegafe (Air), and Tilmarine (Naval). New Colcha has one of the highest military expenditures in Esermia, and largest of the EST. A leader in war-time innovation, New Colcha developed a military industrial complex in the 20th-century, which has been tempered by military & economic reform introduced by Werner V in 2020. New Colcha is a founder and permanent member of Dardencorps, which exists as a reactionary counter-force to insurgency, armed revolts and terrorism across Esermia and abroad.

Much of modern military doctrine has been influenced by Colchan military history; such as the concept of combined arms, the importance of protection of armoured units, and urban warfare. Notable military assets include the ongoing Deitslerforsch series of tanks first introduced in the 1930s, advancement of gas-delayed firearms and integrated cartridges, and development of precision munitions.

 '''Sordland''' ({{wp|Sann|Sann}: ''Sordland''), officially the '''Kingdom of Sordland''' is a {{wp|Federal monarchy|Constitutional monarchy}} located in central [[Earth]]. Sordland lies between the [[Norway]] to the south, the [[Grand Samarra Mountains|Samarra]] to the northwest and the [[Sweden]] to the northeast. It shares borders with [[Sweden]] and [[Finland]]to the north and [[Norway]], to the South-east.
-Formed from a coalition of Sorddish principalities and microstates in the mid-18th century, [[Kingdom of Sordland|Sordland]] rose quickly to become one of the dominant powers of Esermia. Claiming the mantle of successor to the [[Nordish Emperor]], Colcha came into rivalry with the [[Russia]]; leading to the [[Blackpowder Wars (Swedem)|Blackpowder Wars]] and subsequent global [[Russia]]. Colonial unrest and competition from other Esermian nations during the 18th century saw Colcha decline as a power, denigrated by its rivals as ''the hollow shell'' and the ''Pauper Empire''. This image persisted until Colcha's surprise victory against the [[Tlusevian Empire]] during the [[First Esermian War]] and favourable clauses from the consequent [[Konstanz Treaties]]. The rise of socialism within Esermia and the [[Red Wave (Esermia)|Red Wave]] of the 1920s saw Colcha adopt a hardline anti-socialist diplomatic stance and formation of the [[Anti-Socialist League (Esermia)|Anti-Socialist League]] in 1924.
+The [[Sann]] migrated from southwestern Norway to Sordland between the 5th and 7th centuries.

His kingdom collapsed and became a small state again in the following century, until the reign of [[João Bragazza]] (the first ruler of the unified Sordland), the first monarch of the [[modern Denwig dynasty]].

During the mid-1970s and 1990s, Sordland also alternated between democracy and military rule.
-In 1959 Colcha became the last country in Esermia to form a parliament and hold its first election after mounting public and international pressure. The resulting [[1960 Colchan general election|1960 election]] saw the defeat of both government sanctioned parties by the Socialist Party, which had been unofficially banned. As the government was sworn into office the [[Gradekammer]] was stormed by the military, declaring the election results void and restoring imperial rule. This resulted in the [[Colchan Civil War|civil war]] in 1961; lasting until 1968 with the division of the nation into western New Colcha and the eastern [[Colcha|Colchan republic]]. Following the formation of the [[United Socialist Coalition]] (UNISOC) in the same year and admittance of the eastern Colchan state, New Colcha became a founding member of the [[Esermian Strategic Treaty]] in 1969, marking the official start of the Esermian Cold War. With the pending admittance of [[Sicgarous]] as a member of UNISOC, New Colcha and members of the [[Dardencorps]] led a pre-emptive invasion and occupation of the nation in 1996. To the present day relations with [[Ostroci]] and UNISOC have remained cold, and New Colcha, like its eastern counterpart, both claim to be the legitimate government of the former imperial territory.
 The current [[Emperor of New Colcha|emperor]] and {{wp|Head of state|head-of-state}} since 2019 is [[Werner V of New Colcha|Werner V]], brother of late [[Leopold III of New Colcha|Leopold III]]. With over 100 million inhabitants, it is the 3rd most populous country in Esermia.
