The Kingdom of Severinksy (KS), also known as Imperial Severinsky (due to the nation's foundation) is one of the richest of the Zimatchkan Continental countries.

The KS is home to 13 different provincial zones, as well as 1 autonomous region, and 1 national district. It extends northwards towards Mare Norde, eastwards to the Nachenan-Severinskian Waterline, westwards to the Koivunen-Severinskian border, and south to the Salkland River.

## Etymology and Terminology

The demonym for someone from Severinsky would be Severinskian, wheras an object/place would be described as Severinsk (ex: My friend is Severinskian, That is a Severinsk Vase).

## History

### Native People of Severinsky, Esgrav, and Vostokov

Severinskian culture starts at the foundation of the three biggest ethnic groups in the country. With the Severinskians in the south, the Esgravians in the east, and the Vostokovich in the north, the three groups inhabited the northeastern sector of the Zimatchkan Continent. These groups were once formally categorized into the Zimatchkan-Kaskal Northern People.

It is said that the first native Severinskians had come to settle the land about 15 000 years ago. After traversing the Salklander Desert, the first Severinskians settled near the Grachinan Praries, and the Nachenan-Severinskian Waterline.

#### Severinskians

Originating from the Upper Salkland region, the original Severinskians settled in the Novozemlyan region, which was then being occupied by the Vostokovich people.

#### Esgravian/Esgravich

The Esgravian people (sometimes known as Esgravich) are a smaller ethnic group located primarily in the Eastern half of the kingdom. They populate the areas of Esgrav, Metsava, Norrask, Sibirsk, and Jõegrav.

#### Vostokovich

The native people of most areas of Severinsky, they make up the 3rd largest ethnic group, despite being genocided as a result of the 1910 Civil Uprising. The Vostokovich maintain significant populations in the Sibirsk, Vostokov, Koritsa, Dzintara, and Metsava regions.

### Anthem

In flame and fire
A nation was born
From the Lord's desire
Our people rose

Our flag, red, blue, and white
We stand tall for
As the battlefield rages
We roar, FORWARDS!

(CHORUS)
In joy and friendship
The people loudly sing
We live to serve our nation and our king
With a bullet through our hearts
And as shells fall like rain
The Severinsk Flower Shall bloom again
