Welkija (Велкия) also known as the Socialist Commonwealth of Welkija (Cоциалистичного Содружство Велкиыи) is a Yasic nation located in Argis, spanning from the Intrian sea all the way up to the northern tundra's. Its a sparsely populated nation of 14 million, largely located in the southern and central regions of the country with Nowa Huta, built around the nations largest steel mills functions as its political and industrial capital. With Volkovsk, the countries second largest city, functioning as its cultural capital.

Welkija emerged as a political entity in 1545 following the collapse of the Ahranian empire as the Duchy of Velaki, the subsequent years are referred to as the 'Smuta' in which the Grand Duchy invaded and politically annexed other neighboring breakaway neighbor states, officially declaring itself the kingdom of Welk in 1654. In 1670 it began its northern expansion, coming to control the west coast of the Amber sea and the northern tundra's, by 1750 it held all the territories which constitute the modern state of Welkija. The Kingdom of Welk ceased to exist in the year 1915 following the Popular Revolution in which the Commonwealth was declared. Ruled by a defacto one party state under the United Workers Party, who's rule saw to the industrialization and urbanization of much of the country, however due to political infighting many proposed reforms failed leading to extreme stagnation through the 90's and a rise of opposition groups within Welkija, by 2020 external and internal pressure forced the United Workers Party to hold its first free elections, in which it lost its majority of seats while remaining the largest party within parliament, forming a hung parliament which has failed to pass the most basic of legislation in modern years.

Despite Welkija being a multi-ethnic commonwealth spanning dozens of cultures and ethnic groups, the country speaks one unified language, Miedzywielskiji, being a artificial language constructed in 1927 with the purpose of helping unify the country due to its decentralized nature. Originally only being mandated in government use, it soon spread and began being taught at schools. The 1928 Census suggests that over 178 languages were used in the country, in modern years this figure has dropped drastically as Miedzywielskiji has become the common language across the vast country due to increasing urbanization and the rise of the internet.
