Halland is a country in Asteria Superior, bordered by Cassier in the north, Nuxica in the south and the Vehemens Ocean to the west. It also shares a lake border with Chervolesia. The country is subdivided in 19 administrative regions, which cover an area of 1,831,549.44 square kilometers, making it the fifth largest state in Asteria. Halland is a unitary parliamentary republic with its capital in Avelon. Its largest city and main commercial center is Astoria, located on the northern coast of the nation. Other major cities include Ealaghleann, Stokes and Leon. Estmerish is the official language, although in the Fáel region, ghailish enjoys co-official status.

Indigenous Powhatan people inhabited the country for thousands of years prior to colonization. Assim Asteris and his expedition sponsored by Caldia discovered the continent in 1488, marking the beginning of colonization of the region by Euclean nations. Caldia soon after created its colony, Fáel, in the south of Halland. Soon after, Estmere established the colony of New Estmere to the north. Both colonies would grow prosperous, with the city of Astoria becoming a major port in the continent in the 17th century. Both colonies would be conquered by Gaullicia during the Gilded Wars of 1721. The new administration sponsored many policies which sparkled significant unrest, leading to various failed independence attempts and culminating in the 1764 War of Independence. Since then, Halland grew economically and became an important power in Asteria Superior, industrializing rapidly in the early 19th century and receiving many migrants. Halland was an important player in the Great War, achieving significant naval victories against Gaullica and aiding on the liberation of Nuxica.

In modern times Halland is a cosmopolitan nation with populations of a very diverse background. It is the fourth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the largest economy in Asteria. The nation has a significant international presence, being host of the Organization of Asterian Nations, one of the founding members of the CN, an observer member in COMSED and one of the founders of the International_Council_for_Democracy. Halland is considered a developed nation, with high standards of living and an advanced economy.
