St. Gelta (kingdom)

This is about the former country. For the current-day province, see St. Gelta.
The Kingdom of St. Gelta (Geltan: Konigyen Yonneslant),also known as just St. Gelta, was a monarchist nation located in southern Terrania. Formed in 1059 following the Geltan Reformation, it became one of the most wealthy and influential countries globally. At dissolution and unification into Jonathia, St. Gelta was bordered by Lolland to the east and south, Leafland to the west, and Arizaia to the north. It's capital was Gelta City, but it's largest city was Wilbird.
== Etymology ==
St. Gelta is named after Gelta, a catholic mercenary from Arizaia. He is rumored to have been buried somewhere in the northern part of Wilbird, in the suburb of Greedhill, then known as Grijthäal. Gelta itself is a Jonish word meaning "blood". Ironically, St. Gelta is home to redwood trees, red being the same colour as blood, making St. Gelta a fitting name for the province.
== History ==
=== Pre-historic St. Gelta (1400 BC - 200 AD) ===
=== Yonnesland (200 - 912) ===
=== Arizaian occupation and annexation (912 - 1059) ===
In 912, Arizaian soldiers and mercenaries invaded St. Gelta, in an attempt to claim land with connections to the Arizaian culture, faith, and the Catholic religion. The peoples of the province were brutually suppressed, losing to Arizaia's might battle after battle.
=== Kingdom of St. Gelta (1059 - 1920) ===
In 1059, a small uprising in Yoyle led to a massive collapse of Arizaia's territorial claims in St. Gelta. With the Geltan peoples becoming increasingly tired of mass suppression, the peoples rose up and drove the Arizaian peoples off their land. Following this, the Kingdom of St. Gelta was reformed, with the monarchy reinstalled. Arizaia and St. Gelta continue to have a bitter relationship well into the 21st century.
=== Unification into Jonathia (1920) ===
