Volhynia, or formally the Grand Duchy of Volhynia, is a country located in mid Argis, in the Argic Great Lakes region, bordering Uppsund to the west, Dazhdinia and Littland to the east. Volhynia is located on the Intrian Sea. It has a population of 16.4 million Volhynians, with a population density of 71 people per square kilometer. Volhynia's capital and largest city is Prykarpattia.
Volhynia is a Constitutional Monarchy, led by a hereditary Grand Duke, the Chancellor of Volhynia, who is elected from the Federal Assembly to serve at the Grand Dukes pleasure. Volhynia gained independence from Ahrana in 1912, after several centuries of Ahranaian subjugation which followed Ahranaian vassalisations of shattered Volhynian duchies.
Volhynia's economy is largely agricultural across the majority of the nation, though with oil and mineral extraction in certain regions also providing a large amount of the country's economic output. In urban and coastal regions, the economy is largely service based, with expanding financial and information technology sectors.
