Storsnia (Storsne: Storsyan), officially the United Republic of Storsnia (Storsne: Storsyan Yhdistynyt Tasavalta), is a nation in Northeastern Nori bordered by the Gulf of Strom to the West and the Oceanus Glaucus to the North. The capital is Farsund and the largest city is Ensrup. Other major metropolitan areas include Nilsiä and Kaskinen.
Storsnia's population is about 17,342,000, the majority of whom live on the West Coast and the South Central Highlands. A majority of the population speaks Storsne with some speaking a regional dialect known as Skolt in the rural North and Northeast. Storsnia is the largest nation on the Nori continent by land area and the third least populated. It is a Federal Parliamentary Republic made up of nine cantons.
The first Storsne were very nomadic and moved frequently often following the migratory patterns of the native elk. These first peoples began to settle down and beginning a long standing tradition of elk herding around 561. There were many different tribes among the Storsne that would fight for good herding grounds and arable land which proved to be scarce in the northern parts of the country. Eventually, the larger tribes subdued many of the smaller ones. The leaders of these tribes saw that a war between themselves would be devastating and that they would be stronger if they were united under a single entity. Thus the Storsne Confederacy was formed. For many years the hereditary chiefs of the tribes that made up the confederacy were representatives of their people. However, as the population grew the chiefs got wealthier and worked to serve themselves rather then protecting their people. Corruption soon became quite frequent and bribery was not uncommon. The population was upset after a news article exposed several confederacy officials and the Velvet Revolution occurred devastating the confederacy. The Velvet Revolution was a success and resulted in Storsnia adopting their current government and reforming into a federal republic rather then a confederacy. Representatives were no longer the hereditary chiefs. Representatives became elected officials. In the early 1900s the government went through some major reforms becoming what it is today.
