Waldrich (Waldish: ᚡᛆᛚᛚᛂᚱᛁᚴᛂ, Vallerike), officially the Waldish Confederation (Waldish: ᚡᛆᛚᛚᛋᚴ᛬ᚠᚮᚱᛒᚢᚿᛑ, Vallsk Forbund), is a sovereign state on the Svallandic island of X in northern !Europe.  It lies between the X Ocean to the north, the X Ocean to the east, and the X Sea to the southwest. The nation shares a land border with Valmut to the southeast, and a maritime border with to the west.  Alsvik is Waldrich's capital and largest city, with other major cities including Hellnafjord, Strandhavn, Kongsheim, and Hovberg. With a population of approximately 63 million and a total area of 631,214 square kilometers, Waldrich is the Xth most populous and Xth largest nation in Teleon.

Humans first settled Waldrich between the 10th and 11th centuries BC, at the end of the last ice age. During the early middle ages, the Waldic tribes inhabiting the region began to organize into several petty kingdoms. In 759, X of the Kingdom of X unified many of these kingdoms under the Waldian Empire, which ruled most of Svalland and northern !Europe at its territorial peak in the 9th century. The empire fragmented in 1031, and control over Waldrich passed to the successor state of North Waldia. The !Reformation of the 16th century divided the realm along religious lines, with the nobles of the southern kingdoms converting to !Protestantism in defiance of the Waldic Catholic Church. Tensions between the !Catholic north and !Protestant south culminated with the X War, resulting in the dissolution of North Waldia in 1584. The southern kingdoms unified under the Kingdom of Valmut, while the northern kingdoms established the Old Waldish Confederacy as a successor to North Waldia. Initially intended as a defensive alliance between independent kingdoms, the Confederacy consolidated into a federal state in 1821 as a consequence of the X War. Waldrich emerged as a great power in !Europe during the mid-19th century under the rule of Foresitter Olaf V, who reformed the armies of the Confederation's constituent states into a unified and modern fighting force. Olaf also oversaw the industrialization of the nation's economy, which was among the wealthiest in the world by the end of his reign in 1860. Olaf's successor, Karl II, introduced liberalizing reforms after the Waldish Revolution of 1866, resulting in the end of absolutism and the ratification of a democratic constitution.
