Deltannia (Old Buranic: Dalmark) is the northernmost nation of Europa on Eurth. It is located entirely on the Parnu peninsula, surrounded by the Argic Ocean to the north, Gulf of Lanjon to the east, Kosscow Sea to the south, and Sea of Storms to the west. In the southeast it border Volsci, the nation's only landbordering neighbour.
Etymology
Formerly known as Telmark. And the "t" changed to a "d". Telmark -> Delmark -> Deltannia
The name Telemark means the "mark of the Thelir", the ancient North Germanic tribe that inhabited what is now known as Upper Telemark in the Migration Period and the Viking Age. – from Telemark, Norvay
Geography
There are nine regions in Deltannia: Kesclin, Karialev, Rialev, Lodia, Rekula, Ruma, Damiste, Vanaparnu and Uleio.
History
The Deltans share a common history with its northern Buran neighbours. Deltannia is a nation known for its long history, backed by a powerful navy. Its people have long since been regarded as revolutionaries, looking towards the future with open arms, prepared to do their duty when called upon.[1]
During the 1900s, the Deltannian Federation was annexed by the then expanding Volsci Republic. The Sabellic language then replaced the Deltan language, and as a result, only older generations understand it, creating a communication barrier with the younger generations. The nation was able to establish self-proclaimed independence during the internal Volscian power struggle of 1959.
WIP:
- Deltannia could have evolved from Delmark or Telemark ("mark of the Thelir")
- Have a line of Fisher Kings?
Politics
Government
Foreign relations
It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country, they will have to become citizens first. Deltannia believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Deltannia will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.
Military
It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Deltannia has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Deltannia allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers.
Economy
Its technology is first-rate and its citizens marvel at the astonishing advancements within their nation. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Deltannia work diligently to produce Gems and Coal as tradable resources for their nation.
