Corsicinot
Corsicinot, officially known as the Realm of Corsicinot is a nation located within the TBA subcontinent in the eastern portion of Belisaria. It borders Ludvosiya to the north, Drevstran to the west, Mesogeia to the east, and shares maritime borders with Brumen. Corsicinot has a population of 40 million inhabitants. Its capital and largest city is Cor.
Continuously inhabited since at least around the 15th century BCE, the territory of modern-day Corsicinot faced a period of consistent Ludic migrations, with the main migratory group being the Corsash people. Several political entities were founded within the nation's modern-day borders, beginning in the (TBD) century with the unification of the Corsi tribe. This was followed by the Mesogeian Conquest of Corsicinot, turning the nation into a colonial state under Mesogeian control until semi-independence was achieved through vassalization, followed later by full independence. The following centuries were pinpointed by several skirmishes between Corsicinot and Mesogeia, with tensions between the two nations dying down after the Thirty Years War and officially hitting its least tense stature with the Corsi Civil War. The Kingdom of Corsicinot then existed until the Corsi Civil War in (year), at which point the nation was split into the Sovereign Kingdom of Corsicinot and the Imperial Kingdom of Corsicinot, with the Sovereign Kingdom of Corsicinot achieving victory in the conflict. The nation would then reform into the Realm of Corsicinot, which the country has been called since.

Etymology
The exact origin for the name Corsicinot is somewhat unclear. What is known is that the name is derived from the Corsash people, thought the change from Corsash to Corsicinot is somewhat unknown. The main theory is that the name comes from the Nyrian language and the Proto-Corsi language terms for the area becoming used by one another, with the Nyrain Corsa ch'Ano being used to describe the areas the Corsash moved into and the Proto-Corsi Corsazhno being used to describe a group of connected villages. While these theories do provide insight, they are formed from reconstructive efforts from limited Proto-Corsi writings and even more limited Nyrian writings.
Until the Corsi Civil War, the official name of the country was the Kingdom of Corsicinot, and during the war it was changed to the Sovereign Kingdom of Corsicinot. Following the war, the name was changed to the Realm of Corsicinot
History
Nyrian Period
During the Iron Age, the local Nyrian tribe lived in the central lowlands and shores of modern Corsicinot, with earliest evidence of settlement being as early as the 15th century BCE. This tribal state was present and thriving until well past the Iron Age and into the Dark Ages.
The Corsash people, a Ludic tribe from modern Ludvosiya moved south and into modern Corsicinot in the early to mid 6th century CE. Over the following century, the Nyrians and the incoming Corsash people intermingled and formed the Corsi population.

Geography
Situated on the Periclean Sea, Corsicinot is located on the TBD Bay, providing ample access to calm seas. Inland, the nation is defined by the central lowlands between the Curardan and Savadar rivers, located to the east and west of the lowlands respectively. Bookending the central lowlands are the Curardan and Savadar Riverlands, which are some of the most fertile lands in the nation, going all the way to the base of the Corsash mountain range in the northeast and Marinova mountain range in the northwest of the country. Alongside the Curardan and Savadar, the Astargatis river originates from Lake Astargatis in the southeast of the nation. Within the north easternmost area of the country, the Byaloran Forest stretches into the nation's northern and eastern borders with Ludvosiya and Mesogeia respectively.
