Valimia (Valimian: Liiva [li:ʋɑ]), officaly the Federation of Valimia (Valimian: Liivan liittovalta), is a federal republic located in Eastern Berea and Northern Pamia. It borders Mascylla to the west, the North Sea to the north, Kodesh to the south and the Iremic Ocean to the east. Valimia is the world's largest country by land area comprising one-fifth of all land on Earth. Despite its population of 112 million, it is one of the most sparcely-populated countries. Almost 80% of its population is located either around the Gulf of Valimia or in the metropolitan area of its largest city Festunki. The capital of Valimia is its second largest city Paavalpori that holds significant historic and cultural influence.
Valimia is a constitutional parliamentary asymmetric federation since the passing of the 1981 Constitution. The President serves as the head of state and the Prime Minister serves as the head of government at the behest of the Valtiopäivät. Highest political authority in the country recides in the democratically-elected Valtiopäivät that is composed of the Eduskunta and the Senaatti. Highest executive authority is exercised by the State Council (Valimian: Valtioneuvosto) led by the Prime Minister while the Valimian Supreme Administrative Court holds highest judicial authority.
Valimian statehood traces its existence back to the Valimian Duchies formed around the Gulf of Valimia as a result of Semitarian conversion and crusades during the late 900s. Despite later Chaghanid conquest and rule, Semitarism would continue to spread across Valimia consolidating power in the Duchy of Taijasmaa. The weakening position of the White Horde in the late 1500s and the increasing discontentment of the Valimians towards their non-Semitar rulers resulted in the Valimian Revolt in 1603 that ultimately established the Kingdom of the Valimians. Expansions of territory and power by the Valimian state would result in the proclamation of the Valimian Empire in 1702. The empire expanded continuesly throughout the 18th century going beyond its geographic limitations and becoming one of the most signficant powers of its time. By the turn of the 19th century, Valimia would be sidelined by other rising powers in Berea but would remain a significant player on the world stage due to its massive population and area. Valimian stagnation was made evident by the end of the century with the Valimian defeat in the Valimo-Cuthish War of 1882. Bitterness over lost prestige and national humiliation would cause Valimia to join the Great War as a belligerent. The war was disasterous to the Valimian Empire with its outdated army unable to defend against the advance by the Central Alliance which had brought the empire near to capitulation although utlimately it would emerge victorious from the war.
During the post-war period, Valimia experienced a six-year-long period of instability fighting several civil and separtist conflicts. The weakening position of the country would result in the abolition of its monarchy and the dissolution of its empire. In its stead, a democratic federation was established during which Valimian society was almost completely reorganised. Extensive internal reform and Valimian bitterness over the Treaty of Lehpold, would keep the country isolated and officially neutral throughout the post-war period. Valimia played a neutral anti-imperialist role during the Great Game often acting as a mediator between the two sides rising to prominence once more on the international stage. From the 1960s onwards, Valimia would begin opening itself further to the world seeing significant liberal economic reforms.
Today Valimia is a regional power able to exercise its influence in Eastern Berea and Northern Pamira. It is a pluralistic multinational society that is supported by a robust welfare state boasting a very high standard of living . Valimia posesses some of the largest deposists of natural resources in the world being one of the world's largest oil and gas exporters. As a nation with a long and varied history, it is home to several different UPESCH World Heritage sites. Valimia holds a permanent seat in the Security Council of the Assembly of Nations and is a member of several international organisations.
Etymology
The name Valimia is derived from the proto-emic words *walka and *maɣe that mean 'white' and 'land' respectively. This refers to the long winters the country goes through yearly often occampanied by heavy snowfall. The name is used by various Emic peoples to refer to the Valimian Hinterland. The Valimian-language name Liiva is believed to be of Rortvalian origin from the word liivu meaning 'blue-green alga bloom', however it is also a cognate with the Erjarvian word liiv which means 'sand' suggesting a more general beach-oriented meaning oiriginally.
History
Prehistory
Neanderthals lived in anround the Valimian Hinterland during the paleolithic period some 100,000 years ago. They would go extinct in Northern Pamira some 60,000 years later. Modern humans would make their way into Valimia following the edges of the receding ice sheet. It took the ice sheet almost 48,000 years to fully melt parts of it remaining over the Gulf of Valimia. Advances in tool making and huntig tactics allowed hunter-gatherers the ability to hunt larger animals such as the woolly mammoth. Large parts of Valimia were dominated by tribes practicing nomadic pastoralism, while evidence of agriculture has been traced to the 7,000s BCE in the Torro region.
Several Telmeric tribes inhabited large parts of Western Valimia during antiquity. Many of these tribes were pushed away as a result of Valimic migration northward. This would come to a peak in the 300s CE when migrating Valimic tribes into Northern Berea caused a migration movement of several Anglish, Duleby, Welbarian and Alden tribes to the Cambran Empire.
However, the Urheimat of the Emic people is still contested today by historians with paleolinguistic evidence supporting multiple theories to different extents. Many theories supported by the historical record of Valimic migration into Berea place the supposed Emic homeland east of the Gulf of Valimia some even as far as Lake Köösseli. Genetic research has linked Template:Finnish people to people from East Central Pamira. Other historians have put forward the idea that the Emic people originated is Eastern or even Central Berea.
