Skiperia (Skiperian: ШЌиптарие, Malizian: Скипериа, officially known as the Skiperian Federation) is a socialist state in southern Maris, emerging after the success of the socialist revolution in the country in 2013. It is situated along a peninsula in between the Jadranskian Sea to the East and the Karavastaskan Gulf to the West, separated from the rest of Maris by the Bjekët Mountains. Much of the population lies along the Western coast, including its capital and largest city, Kështjellë. The country has historically played a major role in the region, being an important hub for trade and commerce along the sea towards Chora. The end of the golden era led the country into economic ruin and decay, Although it has for the past hundred years pursued a policy of isolation and neutrality, the beginning of the 20th Century has led the country to open up once again to the outside world. It has begun to forge ties with much of the socialist world, developing close ties with its neighbor of Chora. The country continues attempt to modernize and develop, a process greatly harmed by ultranationalist and royalist terrorist forces in the North, including the LRM.
Etymology
The region has gone by numerous names throughout its history. The Ancient Chorans called the land "προβάτων", meaning "Land of Sheep", due to the large herds of sheep that roamed the hillside. The Name "Skiperia" has been in use in some form since the country's original independence in 1047, referencing the symbol of the first Sudimtar Gjegj Osekuti's tribe, known as the Skqiparne. It originates from the Ancient Skiperian Word "Скипонйе" (romanized: Skiponje), meaning "Land of the Eagles". Ancient Skiperian legend tells of the guidance of God, in the form of an eagle, descending from the heavens to instruct Gjegj to paint a five-headed eagle on his shield. It was Osekuti's soldiers that led to the eventual victory of the 5 tribes in the Battle of the Vojsa. After this, Osekuti converted his people to Lumenism and led them eventually gain complete independence as a state in 1047.
