Elsovia

Elsovia (Elsovian: Elsouva; French: Elsovie), officially the Sovereign Kingdom of Elsovia (Elsovian: Ramusch Soveranne dal Elsouve; French: Royaume Souverain d'Elsovie), is a landlocked monarchist sovereign state in Tapanthia. It borders San Vitor to the northwest, Mastalia to the north, Falderia and Brightland to the northeast, Canadia to the east, Corbaria and Albia to the south, and Sennington to the west. Elsovia has a population of 36,489,590, making it the 19th-largest country by population worldwide, and the sixth-largest of the Tapanthian countries. Laxov is the capital and largest city of Elsovia. Other major cities include Staffois-sur-Mer, Beufrisse, Sesherville, Degrany, and Altenling.
Throughout most of its history, Elsovia remained strictly neutral geopolitically. The country formed in the 3rd century CE by Corbarian peoples wishing to escape conflict in modern-day Corbaria, which was riddled at the time with infighting. These immigrants perchance came across the Elsovian peoples. The two, despite their differences; the Corbarians were Catholics while the Elsovians were Thedactorists; got along well, and eventually built up a country. A monarchy soon formed in the year 460 CE, and the Sovereign Kingdom of Elsovia was created.
Elsovia's existence was soon threatened with the creation of the Albo-Corbarian Empire in 1877. The A.C.E. wanted Elsovia to be part of it's territory due to it's large diaspora of Corbarian peoples, and attempted to invade in the Elsovian War. However, Elsovia would be protected with assistance from Brightland. Elsovia did not participate in the Great War, one of few nations on the Tapanthian continent to do so. Elsovia would once again remain neutral during the Cold War, but the largely liberal monarchy did support the fall of communist-related politics in neighbouring Falderia, as well as the liberalising policies of Brightland in the 1990s. Come the 21st century, Elsovia would emerge as a minor power on the world stage.
Elsovia is a developed country. It is a member of the GUIS, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Tapanthian Republic. Elsovia's main export is energy, which it supplies to its neighbouring countries, primarily through Elsovia's largest state-owned company, EnergyElsovia.
