The country borders the nations of Einberg, Valreach, Waywood, Eros, Sylvania, and Ashai. Veskalíde was created when the nations of Exousía, New Domatia, and Neo-Bai all decided to merge because of their cultural roots going back to the Bai Federation.

== History ==
=== Pre-history ===
Leading back to the time of the Bai Federation, it had been a prosperous country but had been slowly declining until the Bai Exodus, in which the federation chose to dissolve and many of the citizens fled to other lands to find new homes. From it's dissolution came Condull and New Domatia. Condull chose to join the Hegemony of Montrium, under the AWE's protection. New Domatia would flourish, however not long after came the Clockists who would rebel against Domatia. 
After the Yurkian Battle, which ended in disaster, some of the survivors from Yurki fled to Eldham and found the place of Domatia. Domatia gave these people land and the refugees formed the nation of Exousía. Formed in 123 TE, Domatia and Exousía were always culturally and historically close. The two had always been sister nations with each other, even after New Domatia had joined the Vulperium. 
During the Montrium Civil War, some of the former citizens from the Bai Federation that had lived in Condull decided to become independent. Although disputed at first, the Kingdom of Montrium won the civil war and let Condull become independent. As many of the citizens were from the Bai Federation, they had called their new nation Neo-Bai. All three nations of Exousía, Neo-Bai, and New Domatia were able to trace their roots to the Bai Federation and being geographically close ensured that each nation had great relations with each other. Soon afterwards, Neo-Bai had merged with New Domatia to form Rang'Urdii, a new duchy of the Vulperium. Even while in the Vulperium, Exousía and Rang'Urdii always had great ties with each other. 
=== Rang'Urdiian-Exousían merger ===
Close to the end of December and nearing the second century of the Travelers Era, the Vulperium was rocked with strife as there had been rumors of a coup. The Grand Valar of the Vulperium had resigned and there was chaos. This change alarmed the baron of Rang'Urdii, Puddles, and he decided to push for independence from Vulperium. Along the same time, many citizens and government officials in Exousía and Rang'Urdii had both talked about a merge between the two and how it would be beneficial. Eventually, the leader of Exousía, Vyani, had contacted Puddles to discuss this merge. Both Puddles and Vyani had agreed that a merge between the two would be extremely good for both.
The two arranged a meeting between both governments to decide on the details and terms of this new merge. They had decided to divide this new nation into their former territories as provinces, Exousía, Neo-Bai, and New Domatia. Each province would have a triarch and would rotate between each one as the Head Triarch every month, or every seven years in TE. They merged both councils together to create a Grand Council and chose the name Veskalíde.
=== Veskalídii Golden Age ===
Upon the end of February 2023, the Head Triarch at the time, Vyani, put all effort into recruitment and activity. He started a recruitment drive among the citizens, citing to pay 20k per citizen recruited. This caused a huge growth in population into Veskalíde, and new people had been joining everyday.
