Tevitheim, officially the United Jarldoms of Tevitheim (Niagaran: Tevitheims Forente Jarlriker), or simply the United Jarldoms (Niagaran: Forente Jarlriker) is a country located in continent. It is a federation of 15 jarldoms and three inhabitated territories. It covers an area of X and is bordered to the north by Anthros and it shares a land border with Shitdick and Furby on the island of Storøy. The largest city is Koross, which serves as the economic and social center of the nation. However, the largest city is Alna. Other large cities include Ålessos, Drondheim, Kirkeby, and Adelsønn. Tevitheim is one the most populated countries in the world with a population of people.
What is now Tevitheim had been inhabitated by modern humans for approximately 10-11,000 years before the arrival of Niagaran colonists. The exact date of when permanent settlements formed is difficult to decipher, due to unofficial and unsanctioned nature of many of the settlements and the fact that many colonists originally would only stay for several years before returning home, meaning that a large but transitive population existed for several decades before true permanent settlement. However, according to a combination of archaeological evidence and administrative records, the historically accepted date is around 1594. Immigration from Niagara began to pick up and increase over the course of several centuries. By the time the Niagaran government began attempting to increase control of its colonies in the 1600s, several distinct polities had developed. Despite being culturally and ethnically similar, local rivalries meant warfare was not uncommon.
Over a period known as Confederation, which is considered to have begun with the Garrisoning of Alna in 1693 and ending with the establishment of the Dominion of Tevitheim in 1776, Niagara began to increase its control over the settlements. With the end of the internecine wars and the accession to Niagaran rule, what had become Tevitheim began to expand further and further west and north from the original settlements. In 1861, the marriage of Prince Erik to the Queen of Anthros, Sofia II. This marriage formally linked for the first time Tevitheim and its northern neighbor, Anthros. The new real union, usually referred to simply as Tevitheim-Anthros, instantly became a great power in the region. However, ethnic and linguistic differences would lead to civil strife. In the late 1930s, during the period leading up to the Second Great War, the strain became too great and the country began to split apart, culminating in the War of Secession. Insert GWII information. After the War of Secession, Tevitheim became independent from Anthros for the first time in nearly 90 years and became a republic. Internal ethnic and linguistic strife resulted in a federal state and new constitution in 1959, forming the modern United Jarldoms. Unresolved disputes with Anthros has led to several conflicts, though none of these conflicts has erupted into full scale warfare since the 1940s.
Today, Tevitheim is a democratic and parliamentary federation subdivided into 15 jarldoms, the primary subnational entity in Tevitheim. Jarldoms have their own constitutions, laws, and political systems, but are subject to the Constitution of the United Jarldoms and any laws passed by the federal government. In addition to the 15 jarldoms, there are three inhabitated territories, which are autonomous but lack the sovereignty of jarldoms and are given half-votes in elections for oberjarl and in the Jarlaråde, the national upper house. The lower house, or Alnating
