Information about Eventsland

**Eventsland** (Eventian: *Eventsge*), officially the **Republic of Eventsland** (Eventian: *Republikken Eventsgen*) is a country in the north of the continent, having coast to the Northic Ocean to its north-west and west, and to the Grenzer Ocean to the east. In addition, the country has several islands in the Grenzer Ocean limit to the Northic one. The country is bordered to the south-west by Cassandria, and to the south-east by Lietchfield.

With an area of 1.474.800 km², Eventsland is the second biggest country of Tena and the biggest of the North Economic Union (NEU). With a population exceeding the 24,6 million of inhabitants, Eventsland is the ninth country by population, but it is the one with the least population density at 16,69 inhabitants/km². The country's capital city is Serfjord, and other major urban areas of the country include Kristtad, which is the largest city of Eventsland, and Vikkabaerg, Gargendur, and Skonden.

Proto-Eventian people arrived to Eventsland grounds during the Iron Age, evolving into different tribal groups called Vikings that were finally unified and later created a kingdom which was named the Kingdom of Eventsland. Eventsland was a powerful absolute monarchy that controlled the area without problems and without trying to conquer or expand to any territories, although they had some territories in the north of current Cassandria and Lietchfield, near the border. It is considered that explorers from this kingdom were the first ones that arrived to Stockport. The king of Eventsland started to loose power after they decided to take the example set by Cassandria and created a parliamentary monarchy. However, at the beginning of the XIX century, following the Revolution of the Aurorians, the figure of the king was removed and in that way the Republic of Eventsland was born.

The country is famous for its progressist and social state over the years, in contrast with the traditional liberal government. This happens because the population is usually more aware and educated about social concerns and issues. Eventsland is also considered to have the best educational system of the continent, with public schools that look for the creative and philosophical growth of the students before the basic and standardised knowledge.

At present, Eventsland is a secular parliamentary republic with a presidential and constitutional regime, with Bridgit Norddahl serving as the head of state. It is considered a developed country, with the tenth largest economy of the continent. It is a member of different organisations, including the United Tenan Nations Organisation (UTNO), the North Economic Union (NEU) and the Tenan Broadcasting Union (TBU). Since the country is part of the NEU, the official currency is the shared Dollar (Đ) (CAD).

## Political Geography

Eventsland is divided in five provinces. These are Befolkadrea, Folkirna, Norröarna, Skogbro and Vetsjö.

In alphabetical order, **Befolkadrea** is located in the north-west part of the country, in the north of the Event Mountains, and having coast to both the Northic and Grenzer Oceans. It is the second most populated province of Eventsland, with Serfjoird, the second largest city and capital, and Gargendur, the fourth largest one, being on its grounds. Its economy is based on the service and industrial sector, which are mainly developed in the coast of the province. Lately, tourism has become a fast growing sector, since visitors come to enjoy the seaside, the urban areas, and the natural landmarks of the mountains and fjords. The weather in the north of Befolkadrea is mostly boreal, with long and cold winters and mild summers; however, in the interior of the province a mountainous climate can be found.

**Folkirna** is a province located in the centre of the country, being in the middle of the population centres of the north and south of Eventsland. It has coast to the Grenzer Ocean, and most of the country is covered by the Event Mountains. Its economy is based on mining, since the service and tourism sector are mostly located in the neighbour regions, which have more potential. However, the government has make several efforts over the last few years to diversify the economy and offer more opportunities to the third largest province of Eventsland by population terms. The weather in the coast of Folkirna is mostly boreal, with long and cold winters and mild summers; however, in the interior of the province a mountainous climate can be found.

**Norröarna** is located in the north of the country, being the archipelago located in the limit between the Northic and Grenzer Ocean. It is the least populated province of Eventsland with almost seven hundred thousand. The islands are of volcanic origin and thus, they have mostly tall peaks. Its economy is still based on fishing and mining, since agriculture is almost impossible to develop in the territory. In that way, they have to receive large imports of food making it difficult to achieve economic prosperity. The provincial government is trying to make huge efforts to try to get more people to move to the islands and to develop agricultural systems in greenhouses with renewable energy from wind, however, due to the huge investment with no possible benefits up to a very long term, the national government does not want to invest the necessary amount of money. The weather in the coast of Norröarna is mostly boreal and polar, with long and cold winters and mild to cold summers; however, in the interior of the province a mountainous climate can be found.

**Skogbro** is the province located at the south-east part of the continent, having coast to the Grenzer Ocean. It is home to the largest amount of people of the country with more than nine million inhabitants. It is also the province where Kristtad, the largest city of Eventsland, is located, together with Skonden, the fifth one in the ranking. Its economy is highly dependant on the service sector, being the province with the biggest GDP and tertiary sector companies presence of the country. However, in the interior of the country cities based on mining can be found, as well as in the plains there are agricultural and cattle raising fields, which are the largest terrains dedicated to the primary sector of Eventsland. The weather in the coast of Skogbro is mostly boreal or Continental, with long and cold winters and mild summers; however, in the interior of the province a mountainous climate can be found.

Lastly, **Vetsjö** is the province located in the south-west of Eventsland, bordering with Cassandria and Lietchfield, and the rest of provinces, except for Norröarna. It has coast to the Northic Ocean, where the fishing sector is widely practised. Most of the province is covered by the Event Mountains and even the Liechter Mountains have part of them inside the Vetsjö territory. Due to its terrain and isolation, the provincial government is trying to make huge efforts to improve infrastructure and develop the mining and fishing sector with new technologies to make it more sustainable and efficient. However, large amounts of investment is needed and the Eventsland government does not want to invest the necessary amount of money. Nevertheless, the tourism boom has been well received in the province, since it is bringing economic diversity and prosperity to Vetsjö due to the attractiveness of the natural landmarks.
