Emerstari (Emerstarian: Emerige, pronounced [ɛmərˈje]), officially the Kingdom of the Emerstarians, is a country and semi-constitutional monarchy situated primarily on the Molavan Peninsula in Arda en Estel. It also includes numerous overseas territories, notably in Markion. Emerstari proper consists of its mainland and 416 named islands, the largest of which are the Isle of Haller and Långehold, which lie north of the mainland. The country is the northernmost and easternmost on the peninsula, sharing a border with Canaria in the south and Colane in the west. Its climate is generally temperate with four distinct seasons, hot summers, and cold winters. Maritime influence chills the north while it warms the south. The geography of Emerstari is characterized by many rivers and lakes, forests, and regions of mountains and plains. Emerstari's total area amounts to 644,050 km2 (248,669 sq mi). Of that, water accounts for 62,928 km2 (24,297 sq mi) or nearly ten percent.
Emerstari has been inhabited by humans since the end of the last Ice Age, but the beginning of history in Emerstari coincides with the advent of urbanization along the Hrenshall River three thousand years ago. In the second century BC, the land of the Emerstarians was unified under a single political entity for the first time following its subjugation by the Marsine Republic. Christianity spread from in the country from the first to fifth centuries AD, during which time various petty kingdoms emerged as Marsia receded. In 1047, Erik Segersæl united these pretty kingdoms into a powerful yet decentralized feudal state. Dynastic conflict and land disputes plunged Emerstari into near continuous conflict from the mid-14th to mid-15th centuries, after which Emerstarian culture flourished, and the Emerstarian Empire arose as a colonial and mercantile power.
Since the 16th century, the history of Markion has played an integral role in the history of Emerstari. Wars of succession at home and in neighboring countries marked the 18th century, and their closure commenced a second era of flourishing for Emerstarian culture during the first half of the 19th century. Colonial wars and the Ten Years' War, again, weakened Emerstari. In the beginning of the twentieth century, Erik X Gustaf made a decisive turn away from imperialism and towards diplomacy and non-interventionalism. His reign marked political renewal and liberalization in Emerstari with a view to Christian democracy.
Today, Emerstari remains a center of art, science, and philosophy. It is a developed country with a robust economy and high quality of life. Emerstari is a principle member of the Hrenshallå Commonwealth, alongside Ashuraya and Kophavien, a political, military, and economic union between it and former client states of the Emerstarian Empire.
