Ardesia (Luzelan: Ardésia; Ardesian Luzelese: [aʁdizˈiɐ]), or the Ardese , officially the Federative Republic of Ardesia, or Federative Republic of the Ardese is a sovereign country located in Asteria Superior. It neighbors Eldmark to the west, Marchenia to the north, and Vinalia to the east. It shares maritime borders with Maracao, Satucin, and previously mentioned Eldmark. Ardesia covers a population of over 51 million. It is a federation comprised of 12 federal states and 2 federal districts. The capitals of Ardesia are Rémont, and Sao Agostino. Both cities accounting roughly 20% of the population. Other major cities are Méndi, Porto Sotiri, and Ravelle. The official language of Ardesia is Luzelan. Ardesia is heavily multiethnic, with many ethnicities of Euclean, Black, Mixed, and indigenous backgrounds. Solarian Catholicism is the predominant religion in Ardesia, with the secondary being indigenous spiritism.

Prior to colonization from Vespasian explorers of Poveglia. It had belonged to the indigenous peoples of Tetuolmec and Oaexicun civilizations, both having spanned territories upon Ardesia proper. By 1523 it was colonized under the name of Novo Poveja and flourished to the cultivation of sugar canes and deposits of metals. The Solarian Church propped the spread of Sotirianity through the colony all while the region had been governed through Rémont. Vespasian was also widely spoken through the coats. Shortly after the establishment of Rémont, cities of Porto Sotiri and Sao Agostino were built up and swallowed the rest of the coasts for commerce. Many cultural indigenous influences had also been embraced around the 1600's.

After the major Ten Years' War and Povelia's defeat causing bankruptcy, the colony was sold to Paretia in 1724. Multiple Vespasian settlers and landowners fled the colony, notably a large portion remained in Sao Agostino and Rémont. Ardesia's nationstate identity fully solidified after the Ardesian War of Independence, waged during the revolutions in Paretia against the barely supplemented forces in Asteria. Ardesia was victorious under the armies of the United Provinces of the Ardese, triumphant over the battles of TBD and TBD. The first republic of Ardesia was notably unstable, encountering an issue centralizing the country around the concurrent capital of Rémont. The first president and remarked patriot of Ardesia, Jerónimo Mendez, quickly handed power over to a provisional government that operated as a benevolent dictatorship under patriot and General Augusto Pacheco. Under the dictatorship he sought to restore stability by reforms that still remain in use in Ardesia today.

Ardesia modernized and experienced internal stability for nearly 100 years, only adjusting the term limits of a president under the pretext of the War of the Arucian. The following decades of Ardesia were marked by the Great Collapse, ushering a party of functionalists to firstly be elected through the chambers. The chamber elections and failure of the aimed presidency by the candidate Dinis Montecara ended in a coup supported by the military in 1923. The Ardesian State collapsed by the end of the Great War, both by incursions of the Allied forces and rebel partisans. Ardesia was briefly under an interim government before entering the 'Old Republic', remarked by the staunch leftism and social welfare policies that were enacted. These were cutshort by another though lighter military coup, the Estado Novo dictatorship that ruled as a one party state until its collapse in 1980. A peaceful transition of power to the last provisional government had ensured Ardesia long sought stability. Under a new presidency foreign investment was reintroduced ushering a period of brief economic prosperity, including an upbringing of tripartism that evolved Ardesia into a near social democracy.

A set of measures to stabilize the economy had also removed hyperinflation. Many of the contemporary Ardesian domestic issues have pertained to corruption within spheres of media companies, notable political parties, coastal gang violence, and the mid-2010s poverty crisis. The economy is a developed mixed economy, with major exports of Iron, raw sugar, coffee, tourism, and automotives. Ardesia is a newly industrialized country, all while a regional power in the Asterias. Ardesia is the world's TBD by nominal GDP and TBD by PPP. It is a member of the Community of Nations, OAN, and ITO.
