History
Demographics
Wassilia has an estimated 30.9 million inhabitants with the large majority being native Wassilians. There is also a significant subset population of Wassilians who consider themselves to be Masovinans in the northwest portion of the country. Although Tyonek is the capital City and the cultural and historical hub of Wassilia, since the 2010 national census Olszten had surpassed in population. Olszten in the 20th century has become Wassilias most important trade and tourist hub sitting on the Sunadic coast.
Religion
By definition of the constitution, Wassilia is a secular nation specifying that there is no national religion. However, Catholicism is the dominant Religion practiced by Wassilians accounting for approximately 63% of the population. All regions with the exception of the Masovina province have a Catholic manjority. Masovina, in the northwest corner of the country is primarily Lutheran in conjunction with other Germanic peoples of the region. By and large though religion in Wassilia is declining as the fastest growing demographic in religion is agnosticism. The most religious provinces are the more rural Olawa and Polonia.
Physical Geography
Geography
The total land area of Wassilia is 589,306 km2. This area lies between the latitudes -43 deg and -52 deg, N and longitudes of 1 deg and 16 degrees E. Wassilia does not have any overseas territories so the entirety of land area is contiguous. The largest city Olszten lies on the east coast of Wassilia with the capital city, Tyonek on the west shore of the Wallach Sea. The Wallach Sea dominates the eastern lowlands of Wassilia.
Waterways within Wassilia generally run to the north or the east depending on their source. Nearly all rivers from the Lubovow mountain range flow north and empty into the Wallach Sea or to the northeast and flow into the Sunardic Ocean. The Zlockow River flowing from the western edge of the Lubovow Mountains to the Wallach Sea is the traditional east/west divide of the nation. Rivers in the west flow generally to the east eventually to the Wallach Sea. The Eblag River is the most famous in Wassilia connecting the major cities of Eblaburg and Sren with the capital of Tyonek.
The coastal eastern half of Wassilia is known for its beautiful waterfront cities, small towns, and rocky shoreline. Much of the eastern coastline is made of rocky shore dotted with many lighthouses and fishing towns. The coast becomes more mountainous as you head south toward the city of Ister. Around the Wallach Sea is the coastal lowlands which is the most densely populated area of Wassilia. In the southern most province of Wynsoia we have the Lubovow mountains which dominate the landscape here.

Climate
Wassilia has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb), with warm (although mostly not hot), humid summers. Winters are cold and snowy all over the country and are more severe in the southern Lubovow mountain region. The coastal lowland areas and bayfront are more temperate in the winter due to the warmer currents of the Sunardic Ocean and Wallach Sea. Wassilia is mostly safe from tropical cyclones as the higher latitude weakens these systems to extratropical by the time they reach the Wassilian shoreline.
