Ellese, officially The Fersmore of Ellese (Ellesean: Tan Fersmore Varz Arishestan), is a non-landlocked country in Eastern Europe. It borders Russia to the North and East, Ukraine to the West and Georgia to the South. It is also called by the native name of Arishestan. It has a population of approximately 6.9 million as of 2021, with nearly a third of those living in the capital and largest city of Torsvilo.
Ellese has its roots in the loose unification of a number of Iranic Sarmatian tribes in around 204 AD. Over the years, this confederacy managed to survive due to its great military strength and ability. It fought off the Huns in 456-461 AD, the Khazars in the 650s (converting to Judaism, like them, in 861) and various other mostly Turkic groups before finally being conquered by the Mongols in 1259. After the breaking apart of the Mongol Empire in 1294, the country became part of the Golden Horde. Over time, Elleseans gained much power in this empire, and by 1391 an independent Ellesean Fersmoar managed to form, in most of the area Ellese possesses today. After a Golden Age, the country was absorbed into the Russian Empire in 1689. The country had converted to Orthodox Christianity in 1555, due to the antisemitism of Tsar Ivan of Russia.
In 1917 it gained independence from the Russian Empire. However, just nine years later, it became part of the Soviet Union. In 1941, it was invaded by the Axis Powers. They did not succeed, instead, the invasion sparked a new movement for independence from the Soviet Union, after there had been a number of insurgencies in the late 1920s with that aim. They did not succeed at first but the movement (new insurgencies) continued until 1953 when the country got military backing from capitalist countries and gained independence from the USSR. It immediately came under the rule of a dictatorial monarch, Szen Salle. He founded the Second Fersmore of Ellese, a dynasty which so far has included him, the next Fer Alchar Salle and the current Fer Misrl Salle. The country has generally been officially neutral in all matters of international affairs since the War of Independence from the 1940s-1950s. During the Salle dynasty's rule, the country has seen great economic improvment and development but also much suppression of dissent and other undemocratic actions and policies.
