Vœyetska (/vɪjœtskə/ 
listen), traditionally known as Vojetska, officially titled the Kingdom of Vœyetska[9][10] (Vœyetskan: Ríkiav Vœyetska) is a Socialist Constitutional Monarchy nation located on the continent of Euronia south of the Geranik Sea and Klesh Strait. Vœyetska shares borders with Sateroc to the north, Denzal to the northeast, Lissatha to the west, Donasa to the southwest, Democratic Aurea to the south, and Odoni to the east. Vœyetska is known for its environment, history, and culture.
Vœyetska is a medium sized nation with an estimated population of 29,392,019 as of 2020 making it one of the most populated countries in Northeastern Euronia. 77.4% of Vœyetskans live in urban areas and 86.3% live north of the Dalhäven River. Vœyetska has an exclave surrounded by Sateroc and north or the Geranik Sea and Kelsh Strait which makes up of the province of Iceberg. Sjédal is the largest city in the nation with a population of 1,617,401. Additional major Vœyetskan cities include Eikhaigen, Lehkinsi, Ovkunt, and Ídolfsvinn. Vœyetska witnessed a dramatic spike in population due to immigration between 2010 and 2020. According to the 2020 census nearly 17% of all Vœyetskans are foreign born. Citizens of Vœyetska are known as Vœyetskans, Vœyets, Vojetskans, Vøjetskans, Vöyetsíans, and Voeyetskans.
Geographically, Vœyetska is dominated by forests, mountains, and lakes in the southern part of the country. Most Vœyetskans reside in the north coastline near the Geranik Sea and Klesh Strait which is significantly more urbanized than the southern area. The average temperature in Vœyetska is about 15° Celsius (59° Farenheit). Snow is frequent in the south but is rare in the north with the exception of northern Iceberg. The amount of snow yearly has been noticeably decreasing since 2000 due to global warming and climate issues. The government has done everything in its power to push for cleaner air, less carbon footprint, shifting to solar and renewable energy, and recycling whenever possible. Vœyetska is home to diverse wildlife including the national animal, the Northern Vœyetskan fox.[11] [12]
Vœyetska is a highly developed country with high standards of living: it is one of the most proficient countries in the world in education, health care, civil liberties, income equality, LGBT equality, and overall quality of life. Vœyetska has a thriving economy, extensive political freedoms, and highly values unalienable civil rights. Vœyetska shares diplomatic relationships with numerous countries through the Coalition of Crown Albatross.
Ethymology
Since around 50 B.C., the region that makes up of present day Vœyetska, has been known as Vojetska. The name Vojetska or Voyetska has appeared on early tribal scrolls and coins of groups from the general area. To this day, the meaning of the names Vojetska or anything similar used in place of Vojetska remains unknown, it is one of the largest mysteries in Vœyetskan history. However, it is highly likely that Vojetska is derived from the Proto-Vojetskan words varnœska (young) and jóð (nation).
With the rise of the First Empire of Vojetska, King Sven I declared the name of the Empire to be named after the region. With old scripts constantly being modernized and having many languages as a result from the area's diverse clans, the translation and spelling of Vojetska has resulted in many different spellings, pronunciations, and variations.
History
Prehistory
Humans first arrived in the Vœyetskan area about 120,000 B.C to 100,000 B.C in the general area of what is now Nedmark according to carbon dating of artifacts from the region, although if the findings from Vorsa's Cave is result of early humans, it is possible that humans have been in Vœyetska since 130,000 B.C.
Near 8,500 B.C., humans set up the first groups of civilization in the region, possibly because of the wide variety of game available in the area, as they were hunter-gatherers. These people settled in Southern Vœyetskan caves, but slowly transitioned to stone forts as time moved on.
First Empire of Vojetska
By the first century, multiple city-states and groups had spread out across the Vœyetskan area. In approximately 12 BC, a small, wealthy city-state named Vojetska rose to power being led by King Sven I who joined small-scale groups of the general area to form a much larger and powerful country, forming the First Empire of Vojetska. Geographically, the empire originally controlled the majority of the modern Vœyetskan province of Sverje.
The empire collapsed in 502 when the newly founded Unified Šohav Kingdom united the southern territories and attempted to take over the Empire of Vojetska in the Šohav War of 502. The Šohavs claimed most of the southern and eastern area as well as the major economic city Æðmundsvínn. Because of the fall of the government the north and west area separated from the Empire and became known as Letona.
Unified Šohav Kingdom and Letona
The Unified Šohav Kingdom was founded it 502 by wealthy land owner who became the self-proclaimed king of the Kingdom, Dalibor I. Dalibor persuaded the clans of what is now southeast Vœyetska to join his union and promised leaders fame and wealth because of the economic opportunities available in major cities. The Unified Šohav Kingdom rapidly grew in population and soon became capable of fighting against the Empire of Vojetska and invaded in July of 502. The Empire became vulnerable to the attacks of the Šohavs after the Empire's king Fenrir the Ignorant was unsure about fighting the Šohavs. Fenrir later deployed the armed forces to attack but by then his army was weak because of the dislocation of the north and west area.
Letona was founded as a Unitary State that broke away from the Empire after the attacks from the Šohavs ensued. To avoid going down with the rest of the Empire, Letona broke away and fought against the Šohavs to keep peace within their borders. As predicted, the Šohavs soon came to the Letonan border after conquering the entirety of the First Vojetskan Empire. The Letonan border was kept secure and Dalibor decided he was satisfied with his current holdings.
Under democracy and ideal leaders with good motives, Letona became very densely populated and one of the world's major powers of the time despite its small size in terms of area. The Unified Šohav Kingdom fell in approximately 636 by Zaanuo, a Totalitarian democracy. Historical records of Zaanuo taking over the Šohav Kingdom were lost over time, but it is widely known that during the taking over of the Šohav Kingdom, the city of Æðmundsvínn was destroyed which was one of many causes for failure for Zaanuo.
Letona remained sovereign much longer with its strong government and power but ultimately it decided to become unified for a change at more money and economic opportunity as the land it currently rested on seemed to lack the essential resources of the time. It merged with Zaanuo in 710 to form the Second Empire of Vojetska.
Zaannuo
Zaanuo was established around 636. It was created by an extensive group of wealthy men seeking additional riches and power. Historical records of Zaanuo taking over the Unified Šohav Kingdom were lost. Going into battle, Zaannuo expected themselves to lose, but commander Severin led the battle into the city of Æðmundsvínn, where the Šohavs were planning to attack. Zaannuo attacked violently and destroyed the city.
Before Zannuo invaded the area, the Unified Šohav Kingdom was known for its economic prosperity, primarily in fishing. The center of trade, Æðmundsvínn was the most populous city in the nation and was at the time one of the best cities in the world. When Zaanuo invaded, the city was destroyed. Because of this, many people immigrated to neighboring countries, predominantly to Letona. Because of a decline in population, many people struggled to operate businesses and trades because of the lack of workers. This snowballing effect is what caused Zaanuo to ultimately fail. In 688, King Bernhard issued a decree that stated that people immigrating and actively working in Zaanuo for one year would receive a cash reward. At first it seemed like this would solve some of the major issues surrounding the nation, but after a year of some of the first immigrant's arrival, the people would claim their reward and then return to where they came. This depressed the economy even more.
Swimming at the low of their debt as a nation, Zaanuo made a proposal with Letona to merge and become the Second Empire of Vojetska. The King of Letona, Matthis knew that he had nothing to lose by uniting with Zaanuo as long as they would take care of their debts themselves. In 710, the Second Empire of Vojetska was officially formed.
Second Empire
After agreeing that Zaanuo would be solely responsible for their extensive debts, Letona merged with Zaanuo knowing that it would be in their best interest going forward. The Second Empire of Vojetska was officially formed on Christmas Eve of the year 710. Not long after that, the new nation economically thrived because of its fur, leather, and especially its wood distribution across the world which helped propel them financially as well as set them up for major trade elsewhere.
The Empire was successful for many generations until the nation came upon a few rough generations of kings. King Tuomas, son of Rasmus III, made several poor decisions in his life such as raiding neighbors in hope for additional resources, for more power, but the attacks did not go as planned and the Empire instead lost some land that is now modern-day Iceberg to Sateroc and Denzal. Tuomas' eldest son, Ulmundyr carried on the actions of his father, exept this time his mission would be to restore the land lost in the prior conflicts. Vojetska once again was unsuccessful but this time did not condeed any further territory. Ulmundyr's wife, Felice rebelled against her husband and murdered him and the rest of his family to assume the throne. Felice had many plans to "restore" the Empire but were seen by some as more propaganda. Before Felice could execute her motives, she died of what historians believe was a natural death. Magne, a Vojetskan nobleman who scared the same values and initiative as most of the people, was chosen to be the next King of the Empire. His reign was much more orderly as opposed to some of the preceding childish monarchs. Not long after his assumption of the crown, the Second Empire of Vojetska entered into a famine. The production of fur and leather decreased dramatically because of a lack of nutrition for the animals. People could not afford much, and the nation fell into a dark point in its history. About 5,000 died during the famine, either because of not eating or drinking, or being killed for food, as many resorted to cannibalism. The famine lasted nearly 50 years. Previous to the famine, it seemed like nothing could possibly stop the booming Empire, although the famine was just enough to do so.
Kårðir and the age of reunification
In between the times of the Second Empire of Vojetska and the Kårðir Union, the monarchy that was the Second Empire completely lost control of the people within their borders. Many revolted against the government, claiming that they were to blame, and seized control. For five whole years, the land plummeted into an anarchic society, resisting governmental control. A small band of these people, nicknamed the Civilized Group, sought to restore the Empire to what it once was. After trying more than once to restore order, the band lost hope and fled further northeast to Denzal. After the retelling of the terrible things that had happened in Vojetska, Denzal threatened to invade Vojetska to form a larger, and more powerful nation. Being much larger than the southern populace, Denzal invaded Vojetska in 1111 and seized control easily marking the beginning of the Kårðir Union.
The Kårðir Union took initiative to expand their current borders by trying to add another nation to the Union to gain more power.

Sports
Sports are very prominent in Vœyetska with well over half of the population playing at least one organized sport. Traditionally, ice hockey[13][14] is the national sport, yet football[15][16] is undoubtedly the most popular.
Popular sports in Vœyetska include football, ice hockey, basketball, golf, handball, bandy, cycling, and gymnastics.
In 1989, Vœyetska hosted the World Cup, the most popular and renouned sports compitition in the world, which was hosted primarily in the city of Ídolfsvinn, as well as the cities of Sjédal and Lehkinsi. Vœyetska survived until the quarter finals, but were expected to go further because of stars Fríðálvur Atli Sævarsson, Melker Norelius, and Påvel Lehtinen. Quetana eventually beat Iobaray at the Gamla Ivellu in the finals. The Vœyetskan national football team qualified for the 2023 Melmingen World Cup after failing to do so in Dabatta.[17] With a strong young team considered by many as part of "The Golden Generation of Vœyetskan football". Football is substantially the most watched sport.
Vœyetska has a very strong domestic football league, the Vœyetska Fodbolkja Læd, which was founded in 1888 shortly after establishment thanks to western influence. The Estløserien (Zamah St'ani-English: Premier League) as its traditionally known in Vœyetska, is known for developing star players such as Aron Hjalmarsson, Fríðálvur Atli Sævarsson, and Andreas Hjortshøj. Throughout the history of the league AIF Sjédal have kept hold of a dominant team that is always in contention for the title. Historically, Målea FF, Hjåseggyðurr BK and IFK Ídolfsvinn have achieved very high levels of performance and tend to make a strong case for championship.[18]
Ice hockey is partially recognized as the considered the national sport of Vœyetska. Second to football in terms of popularity, hockey is quickly gaining players thanks to the national team that consistently holds one of the best groups in the world. The top ranked ice hockey league is the Vœyetska Höðar Læd which founded in 1957 following the merger of the Vœyetska Ishöðarforantið and the Allsvœyet, which now consists of 48 teams. Sverje and Finmark are much more successful in the sport producing much of the sportsmen in the league.
Vœyetska thrives in winter sports thanks to its cold environment. As such, the Vœyetskan Olympic Committee submitted a bid to host the 2023 Winter Olympics with the main location of the games being the nation's capital city, Sjédal. If Vœyetska was to win the bid, the opening and closing ceremonies were expected to be held at Friendship Arena. Vœyetska's bid registered the third most votes with five.
