Pueramaa and Lumisaari, officially the Royal Union of Pueramaa and Lumisaari, is a country in northern Belisaria. It was formed as a personal union between Lumisaari, a sparsely-populated island kingdom in the Nordic Sea, and Pueramaa, a kingdom on the continental mainland of Belisaria bordering Hvalheim, Ostrozava, Velikoslavia, and Zamorodna. The country is united under Sigrid Kyöstitytär as Queen and head of state, as well as the head of government for Lumisaari; Pueramaa as a constitutional monarchy maintains a parliament under the head of government Konstantin Mäkelä, viscount of Pueramaa Rajamaat, a non-hereditary title which is extended to every prime minister of Pueramaa.
Pueramaa and Lumisaari are both primarily boreal forest, and Pueramaa has historically been separated between various larger kingdoms and empires while Lumisaari broadly maintained its independence until its union with Pueramaa as a vassal kingdom of the Velikoslavian tsardom. Pueramaa was largely agrarian until the early 20th century and Lumisaari relied mostly on fishing, hunting, and reindeer herding until the latter half of the 20th century when it rapidly digitized and became host to a burgeoning tech industry.
History
Prehistory
The area now known as Pueramaa is believed to have an established, permanent human presence by 8,000 BCE following the recession of the glaciers that previously covered both Pueramaa and Lumisaari. It is thought that Lumisaari, however, was not settled until approximately 6,000 BCE. Human activity in both Lumisaari and Pueramaa can be dated back at least 13,000 years, however.

Geography
Climate
The climates of both countries are largely influenced by their latitudes, with Lumisaari existing just south the Arctic Circle barring some outlying northerly islands. Its winter season is the longest throughout the majority of the country, though the southern regions bordering Ostrozava experience seasons of comparable length. Lumisaari is snow-covered for more than half of the year, while Pueramaa is for approximately four months in the north and closer to three in the south. Permanent snow cover begins between November and mid-December, while snowmelt starts typically in March with average annual snowfall. This snowmelt causes spring floods and rivers to reach their peaks by early May.
Heavy snows contributes to increased logging in late winter as overloaded treetops can break off or bend trees permanently, and continues into mid-spring in regions where flooding may destroy the tree crop.
The Nordic Sea coasts of Pueramaa and Lumisaari experience storms between 10 and 15 days out of the year, while the northern Lumisaari coastal stations report storms originating in the Boreios Sea closer to 20 days. Most of these are in autumn through mid-winter when wind speeds are typically at their greatest.
