Etymology
The Colony of Lothicania was named after Gerald Ruyter, the Baron of Lothican, who led successful military campaigns against the Nehinaw in modern-day Lothicania, opening up the region for settlement by Estmerish settlers. After the Colony of Lothicania declared its independence from Gaullica leading to the Asterian War of Secession in 1764, it became the "State of Lothicania."
