Beloladania (Beloladanian: Белоладанија), officially the Republic of Beloladania (Beloladanian: Република Белоладанија) is a sovereign state in eastern Asura, located within Aeia on the southern coast of the Gulf of Alemmania. It borders Chokashia to the north and Brilliania to the east.
Etymology
An ethno-religious theory suggests that the name used to describe the part of old Leonic lands within the Chokashian Hetmanate that had been populated mostly by Leonics who had been Alydianised early.
Another theory has an alternate explanation which states that this name was given by Chokashians themselves in order to refer to the lands of their origin. The territory of the country corresponds roughly to the historical province of North Beloladania which was a part of the Chokashian Hetmanate.
History
Medieval times
According to Fiorentine historians and their 10th-century writings, the Leonic tribes had settled in what is today Beloladania in the early third century. They arrived after the first waves of Leonic migrations most notably led by Chokashian tribes. Eventually two dukedoms were formed—Duchy of Shumadia and Duchy of Rashka, ruled by Svetolik and Svetoslav. According to Fiorentine historians the Alydianisation of Beloladanian Leonics began in the 7th century, but the claim is disputed and generally Alydianisation of North Leonics is associated with the 9th century. The first native Beloladanian ruler recognised by the Pontiff of Laterna was Duke Vojislav, who received papal recognition from Pontiff TBA on 3 March 851. Dragoslav was the first king of Beloladania, then known as the Kingdom of Shumadia. During his family's reign the medieval Beloladanian kingdom reached its peak in the 11th century, and during the reigns of Dragutin II (1044-1059) and Svetopluk VI (1059-1080) the Kingdom of Shumadia started waging wars against the Chokashian Siches, most notably Polom. In the late 14th century, the Kingdom of Shumadia started declining as the Chokashian states unified into a single one and in 1479. Shumadia was forced to become a vassal state.
