The Commonwealth of Neuse, commonly called Neuse or the Commonwealth, is a minor multi-national state located in the south of Ardentia. It borders the _ Ocean to the South, _ Ocean to the West, and Nuevo Zancara to the north. It has a predominantly humid-subtropical climate, and an area of 628,950 square miles (1,628,973 square kilometers) with an incorporated population of 2,641,000. Neuse is comprised of two provinces and one unorganized territory. A multi-national state, Neuse is the union of the two formerly sovereign states Albemarle and Wachau, now the provinces of Albemarle and Wachovia respectively. It's capital is at Rodanthe and the largest city is Edenton.
The earliest known arrival of humans to the area of modern-day Neuse occured some 2,000 years ago by nomadic proto-Chicaroan peoples from the North, though evidence of permanent settlements does not exist until the 11th century AD. It was not until the 16th century that the first Neusen peoples arrived and settled the region east of the Great Divide. The arrival of the Neuseners caused a large displacement of the Chicaroans to the west of the Divide, where they now predominantly reside. Political leadership centralized during the late 18th century as the two distinct populations, the Marl'ers and the Wachauers, formed independent states. Conflict with the Chicaroan peoples over land and resources resulted in an informal alliance between the states of Wachau and Albemarle. By the late 20th century, political leaders from the two nations began talks that lead to the formation of the Commonwealth of Neuse. On January 22nd, 1997 the leaders of Wachau and Albemarle signed the Treaty of Waccamaw, formalizing the creation of The Commonwealth of Neuse.
Neuse is diplomatically isolated, and does not recognize any international treaties. Neuse has no official state language(s), however the functions of state are conducted primarily in Marl'er. Thanic religion is the predominant religion of Neuse, with Calixtinism and Sacramentalism representing the two largest sects. Neuse is technologically and economically underdeveloped, with a largely agrarian and un-industrialized economy.
