Angvar[a] (Angvarian: Ongvotar [ˈɒːŋˌβɒtɑːʕ] ( listen); Nemedian: Eisenheim [ˌɔɪzɛːnˈhɔɪm̩] ( listen)), officially the Imperial State of the Crown of Angvar[b], is a transcontinental sovereign state comprising the whole mainland of the Cimmerian continent and most of eastern Hyboria with northern Seria as well as numerous islands in the Atlantean and Lemurian oceans and various overseas territories and dependencies. At 44,889,573 km2 (17,331,961 square miles), or three times the size of the continent itself, Angvar is the largest country in the world by area, encircling one-sixth of Earth's inhabitable landmass and extending across twelve time zones. Bounded to the north by the Borelian Sea, to the south by the Obrisian Sea, to the west by the Maulland Sea and to the east by the Kippon Sea, it borders Drakonia and Ostenia to the west; Sylvania and Avernia to the southwest; Obrisia, Berbania, Ishavan and the Zandish Raj to the south; and Seria to the east, while sharing maritime boundaries with the North Sea Realm and Kippon to the far east, respectively. Via its overseas territories, it borders the Anxi-Fuzhi Union, Kongli, Kaozhi, Lianjian and Zhengxiang by way of the International Legation Zones along the eastern coast of Seria; Baqet, Lozi-Vulu, Kikuvu and the Hazirid Boqorate in Maurica; and Zankorra Berria, Pregonia and New Tilgard in Upper Merunia. The country consists of a total of one hundred and sixty-nine governorates (or gaue): one hundred thirty-four on the mainland and thirty-five being overseas. The westernmost and easternmost governorates on the mainland are Neuweißeheldenburg and Vladivoyna, respectively, while the northernmost point overall is in the unincorporated external territory of Karak Khvatîk-Land in Borelia and the southernmost being Los Island in the Auralian Ocean. In addition, there are three associated and protected states, namely the Infernian viceroyalty of Gaietia in Auralia[c], the Grand Duchy of Totenheim and the Duchy of Neugründen[d]. Angvar is the second-largest country in the world in terms of population, with a population exceeding 1.15 billion people, 40.81% of which are Angvarians by ethnicity. Mordegard is the country's capital and largest city as well as a worldwide cultural and economic centre, harboring a metropolitan area population of 220.8 residents, followed by other major cities as Sankt-Nimuesburg, Valenborg, Drestholm, Balzhed, Núrndorf, Skarbolg, Altbruck, Hexentreffen, Lestatshafen and Mordehelm.
Since prehistoric times, anthropophagic cave-dwelling peoples, referred to as Wendol in classical and medieval texts, have been known to inhabit Cimmeria before the arrival of the Ungols, a people of hitherto obscure origins migrating from northern Seria to the Hyborian part of Cimmeria after crossing the Udelian mountains approximately 36,500 years ago during the last Ice Age. The Iron Horde, a confederacy of mainly-Ungolic peoples that settled in the more temperate subregions of Cisudelian Cimmeria, established themselves in the confluence of the Mordel and Iral rivers along the Ongkurgun river valley and intermingled with the indigenous eastern Hyboric peoples. During the early Hyborian period, the area was a key centre of eastern Hyboric culture and trade, and may have survived the decline of ancient Hyborian civilization in the Neolithic Age between 8100 and 4400 BCE. Archaic Argosians settled the northern Lapetian coastline in the 8th—6th centuries, developing colonies that grew into independent city-states, after which they were overwhelmed by the brief Khavhashid and later Asghafrid rule over southwestern Cimmeria prior to 110 BCE. The Aurean Empire conquered and annexed the region in 29 BCE, ensuing the acculturation of the Ungols and forming the client state of Tervania following the defeat of the Iron Horde in 15 BCE. The withdrawal of Aurean imperial authority in the region enabled the influx of Nemedic peoples and with it, a comeback of the Iron Horde as rulers of the breakaway Tervanian state in 404 CE, after which the Cimmerian Ungols, having roughly handled the onset of the Wendol incursions into Hyboria, once again emerged as a recognizable group as they were tens of thousands of years ago.
By the 4th century CE, various kingdoms emerged in Cisudelian Cimmeria, some of which are vassalized under Great Tervania. A politically unimportant group, the D'horgar, settled in the upper bend of the Mordel and assimilated the neighboring clans to form the Duchy of Angvar. Keanuism was adopted in the 10th century
