Timiskrane, officially the Federation of Timiskrane is a nation on North Laurentia. It is bordered by Charville to the north, Atredies to the west, Eudaschia and The Seventh German Reich to the south, and the Arctic Ocean on both east and west. It's capital city of Sudbury is also it's most populous if the greater Sudbury region is included. Port Manatoulin has the largest metropolitan area. The official language of government is English, though the government does recognize and award special minority language status to the traditional languages of Joual and Acadan native to the region. The country terrain is filled with hills and small mountains, and the soil is generally rocky and acidic, the exception being the southmost region and the Iron Valley region, which are the only areas of the country where agriculture is viable. The Northmost end of the country flattens out as it fades into tundra. It is also noted for it's 3 large lakes in the north region. The largest, North lake, and the two smaller Kirkland Lake and Panache Lake.
Their had previously been several both internal and external attempts to unify and govern the region, but most met with failure do to the difficult geography that made it difficult to maintain unity. An attempt at federation had been discussed since as early as 2017 but it took until the 21st of January 2021 when the various local governments of the region signed the Act of Federation to establish the Nation.
It remains a nation largely dependant on natural resource extraction, though a significant arms manufacturing industry has begun to develop. The nation operates on a system similar to market socialism or libertarian socialism, where free markets, capital, and private ownership are allowed, but wealth is heavily redistributed through a system of punitive progressive taxes and very extensive welfare programs. The nation is very educated, with elementary to postsecondary studies completely government funded, but lags behind where it would be expected to be in terms of HDI simply because of it's comparatively low wages.
