The Grand Duchy of Tudonia (Hesurian: Großherzogtum Teudonien) and formally the Grand Duchy of Tudonia-Stralburg-Vorwarnia (Hesurian: Großherzogtum Teudonien-Stralburg-Vorwarne) was a sovereign state and semi-constitutional monarchy in eastern Mascylla. It was founded on 30 August 1708, when the preceding Duchy of Tudonia-Stralburg was elevated to the title of Grand Duke upon the marriage of the heir apparent to the Tudonian throne, Frederick Charles, to an imperial Cuthish princess and member of the House of Loxstedt-Hoeveden, Elena of Cuthland. Tudonia's relationship to Cuthland was of political strategical importance, as it allowed easy trespassing to the Cuthish colonies of X north of the Valimian Empire. The country was ruled by the cadet House of Loxstedt-Hoeveden-Sigairen residing in Sigairen from 1708 to 1793, when it became a federal state of the Mascyllary Kingdom, until 1923, after its monarchy and government were deposed through the course of the Mascyllary Revolution.
