Thamonia (/θə'moʊ.ni.ə/; Thamonian: Ṡaamonijuu [θ̠a:'mɔn.ɪju:]), officially the Kingdom of Thamonia, is a sovereign state located in the Baltic Region of Eastern Europe. The kingdom borders Poland to its south, Lithuania to its east and Latvia to its north. Thamonia covers an area of 59,279 km2, with a population of 3.2 million.

== Etymology ==
Thamonia is the anglicised version of the native name for the country Ṡaamonijuu.
Ṡaamonijuu was first mentioned in 1240 by Saint Theodorus in his book "Gentis Orientis" as Samoniu, originating from the Old Thamonian word for people/human "ṡmoniu". In 1437 the first official document was written which mentioned the name Ṡaamonijuu, which is still the name for the country.
== History ==
=== Kingdoms of Medžuwet, Uupešme and Osaażałod ===
In the 9th century CE the Baltic coast was often raided by vikings originating from Scandinavia. To combat these raids settlements united and created small coastal states that would often retaliate against viking attacks. The three main states were the kingdoms of Medžuwet, Uupešme and Osaażałod. Medžuwet was located on the coast between present-day Liepāja and Klaipėda. Uupešme was located south of Medžuwet, stretching all the way down to present-day Bagrationovsk and the largest kingdom of Osaażałod was located between Kaliningrad and Elbląg.
In the 11th century King Jyns of Medžuwet was overthrown by viking raiders. Medžuwet became ruled by King Sweyn III of Denmark, but in his absence was ruled by Eirik Andersson. Medžuwet became the center of the many viking raids that took place in the Baltic region. Eirik Andersson married Princess Riinaa of Uupešme in 1155, merging the two kingdoms. When King Sweyn III died in 1157, Eirik Andersson took full control of the lands, becoming King Eirik I. In 1163, two years before the death of King Eirik I, the country invaded Osaażałod, ultimately conquering the kingdom. As a way to unite all the people King Eirik I renamed the country to Ṡaamonijuu.
