Eskavia (Waldish: Eskland, Eskavian: Eskävisik), officially the Republic of Eskavia (Waldish: Republikken Eskland, Eskavian: Eskävisikut Häkilnu), is a sovereign state in Elia Australis. It lies between the Medan Ocean to the west, TBA to the northwest, TBA to the northeast, the Alconian Ocean to the west, and the X Ocean to the south. Eskavia's capital and largest city is Kalonak, with other major cities including Fossenvik, Palostaku, Nordhavn, and Mariestad. With a population of more than 38 million, Eskavia is the Xth most populous nation in the world.

Humans have inhabited Eskavia for at least 12,000 years. The first Calesian explorers arrived in 1510, after which both Falland and Waldrich established colonies in the region. In 1721, Waldrich annexed Fallish Eskavia as a consequence of the Waldish–Fallish War. During the 1860s, the colonies of Waldish Eskavia fought a series of wars for independence that ultimately forced Waldrich to relinquish its possessions in continental Elia Australis. Efforts to unify the newly independent states began following the First Hisuka War, which saw Waldrich reconquer the Hisuka peninsula. In the conflict's aftermath, a group of states led by New Forsmark established the West Eskavian Confederation as a military and political alliance to counter Waldish influence in the region. The Confederation ultimately invaded and annexed Hisuka in 1904, and was subsequently reconstituted as the Republic of Eskavia.
