Svaldland (Svaldish: Sväljdland), officially the Republic of Svaldland (Svaldish: Tjodvelden Sväljdland), is a sovereign state in Hallania, which occupies the northern half of Storhalland in addition to hundreds of smaller islands including Västraön, the third-largest island in the Hallic archipelago. Svaldland shares a single border with Narrland-Crethia to the south, and is surrounded on all other sides by the Coldwind Sea. The country has a population of 11 million, the overwhelming majority of which lives south of the 60th parallel close to the Narrish border. This region is home to the capital city of Lysandstad and Valhamn, Svaldland's largest city.
