The Swathish Community (Swathish: Svạþfolc sċirriċe) also known as Upper Swerdia (Ufanswerdia), is a Polity in Alsland and one of 4 Communities of Alsland. It has a population of 2,998,402 or 26.3% of the country's total population. The Swathish Community is divided into 3 Provinces: Burnshire, Fawkhamshire and Hamptonshire. The capital and largest city of the Swathish Community is Kirchester in Hamptonshire.
Historically the Swathish Community was never one united entity due to the presence of the Neeves, it primarily consisted of the Duchy of Hamptonshire in the north and the Duchy of Ilfracombe in the south. Both were highly autonomous marches of the Kingdom of Estmere for much of the middle ages until the Ten Years' War when they alongside most of the rest of present-day Alsland was absorbed into Kirenia. Several attempts at creating an independent Swathish state were attempted, during the 1919 Dellish Revolution, Swathish nationalists declared independence from both Kirenia and Delland, the short lived Republic of Hamptonshire and Fawkhamshire was absorbed into Delland after the Levandi-Hartmann agreement. Estmere invaded Delland during the July Crisis seeking to annex the territory but withdrew following peace negotiations and the 1920 Alslandic Constitution which created the Swathish Community. The Swathish Economy is small compared to the Dellish Community and the Holsaten Community which is a factor in the recent rise of Separatism in the Dellish and Holsaten Communities. However in 2021 the Swathish economy was the fastest growing in Alsland.
The Swathish Community borders the Holsaten Community in the north, Estmere in the east, the Martish Community in the south and the Dellish Community in the west. The Swathish Community shares close cultural and linguistic ties to the State of Swerdia in Estmere.
