The United Republic of Calradia, commonly known as the United Republic or Calradia, is a country primarily located in the continent of Midderra, Terrum. The country is a semi-federal union of 8 states, with seven contiguous states — Swadia, Nordlandia, Vaegiria, Rhodokia, Khergia, Sarrinidia, and Champsieux — and the state of Seppam located on the continent of Occiddera, across the Eambra Ocean to the west of the mainland. Additionally, it also holds sovereignty over seven insular territories in the Caucurie and Eambra Oceans, as well as military jurisdiction over the central lands of the Otherworld continent of Novia. With a highly urbanized population of over 628 million people, as well as a land area of 9.872 million square kilometers, it is the third-largest country by size and population. The capital and largest city is Praven, with a population of 10.4 million and a metropolitan area housing 21 million people in total, making it the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the world.
Prior to the advent of civilization, the lands of the Calradia were first inhabited by the Meso-Vlandians sometime around 7900 BCE. The cultivation of the Meso-Vlandian culture in the region led to the rise of the Proto-Kingdoms in 1000 BCE, and the continuous conflicts between the Vlandian, Battanian, and Sturgian tribes in the following millennium. It was not until 75 AD that the region saw its first integration when the Calradic Empire was established under the rule of Valorian, and by 350 CE, it had expanded to its greatest extent when it conquered the kingdoms of Khergia and Sarrinidia. However, over time, the empire was too overextended, and it was dismantled after the siege of Pravia by the Swadians in 912 CE, resulting in its breakup into six independent kingdoms. After a series of wars that led to the Decline of the Six Kingdoms, the region was once again unified by a republican uprising that led to the Declaration of the United Republic on 5 January 1150, effectively establishing the United Republic of Calradia. Following its full adoption of democracy in 1200, the republic expanded its lands across every direction, leading to the induction of Champsieux in 1276 and its exploration and incorporation of Seppam in 1301.
