Dahemia (/ˈtæˈhmiə/ dah-HEE-mee-ə; Dahemian: Dämen [ˈdæːmən]; Notgerman: Dähmen [ˈdɛːmən]; Notfrench: Dahême [dɛ̃‿em]), officially the Free State of Dahemia[a], is a sovereign landlocked country in Central Calesia. It is bordered by Notgermany to the north and west, Notfrance to the east, and Notswitzerland to the south. With an area of 2,599.3 km2 (1,003.6 sq mi) and a population of 2,183,805 in 2023, Dahemia is Calesia's smallest and least populous country, but the single-most densely populated, with a density of 840/km2 (2,175.9/sq mi). Gonece is its capital and largest city; other major cities include Greven, Cherms, Meinfeld, Karlsbad, Verniers, and Saldenbroich.

The term referring to the historical region of Dahemia has been in use for over a millenium, beginning with the conquests of the Cambran Empire in the first century BC. A distinct political entity comprising the region only arose in the mid-17th century with the Duchy and later in the 19th century with the Kingdom of Dahemia respectively, before being absorbed by the fledging Notfrench Empire in 18X amidst Notgerman unification. Its wealth of coal and iron ore deposits made it a central focal point of the Industrial Revolution.

Following the Great War in Calesia, it was occupied by Notgerman forces and became the United Congress-mandated Dahemian Protectorate in late 1941. After the 1957 Lonane Statute referendum and unsuccessful attempts made by Notgermany to annex Dahemia proper, it gained its independence as the Free State. Since, tensions between the Notgerman-speaking and Notfrench-speaking communities have persisted; the 1980s saw far-reaching state reforms and a political transition towards state federalism, but irredentist and nationalist movements (such as the X Movement and the Fatherland Party) continue to be popular.

Dahemia is an federal constitutional republic headed by the Minister-President, currently Ulrich Barschel since 2020. It is a founding member state of the United Congress, X, and hosts the seats and headquarters of numerous intergovernmental organizations. As a developed country and mixed-market high-income economy, it ranks highly in human development, income equality, civil liberty, economic competitiveness, gender equality, and prosperity indexes, and has among the highest GDPs per capita (both nominally and by PPP) in Calesia; it was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2000. Dahemian culture is largely shaped by German and French influences, but remains distinct because of its X heritage, traditional cuisine, and customs. Home to three main linguistic communities, the country is officially trilingual, although NotGerman is the majority language and the lingua franca.
