Solvrige, officially known as the Jarldom of Solvrige, is a sovereign state in Yeetland, Argis on Eurth. It is bordered by Gotneska to the east, Nyantastan to the west, the Argic Ocean to the north, and the Auraid Bay to the south. The elective monarchy consists of 15 Holds, 1 Autonomous Region, and 1 Capital City. The capital and largest city is Vitback, situated in the Vit river valley, meanwhile the nation's trade hub is Srevangyl, located at the estuary of the Vit river.
Humans are known to have settled in Solvrige as far back as 3000 years ago. For most of history, Solvrige was split among various petty jarls. In 1644, the jarldoms united into a de-centralized elective monarchy, which was incredibly unstable. Despite finding success in the late 20th century, a destructive 16-year civil war gripped the nation from 2004. In 2020, the Peace of Grynstjar was signed, creating a more centralized and democratic government. The High Jarl is Wenzel the Affable, who has served since 2021, and the elected Tveristoren is Jeoffrey the Ironkettle, serving since 2020.
The Solvrigean economy is highly deregulated, and its primary industry, historically and in modern times, is silver mining. Located in the nation's mountainous heart, Solvduþ mine is among the largest silver mines in the world. Despite this, due to the civil war, as well as high income inequality and unemployment, Solvrige is considered a developing economy. The government has recently tried to diversify the economy away from silver by subsidizing industries such as banking and manufacturing, the success of which remains to be seen. Solvrige is a member of the Assembled Nations.
