Ektæózeruich

Ektæózeruich (Ektæó: Ektæózøtišky; IPA: [ekt̪aɪoːz̪œtiʃky]), known as the Republic of Ektæózeruich, is a country in Northeastern Europe. It borders the Norwegian Sea [to the north] and the Barents Sea [to the east]. Ektæózeruich also has some land borders with the Barentian Republic [to the southeast], Aurentia [to the south], and Pechalsalavia [to the southwest]. It is within the Montarek Archipelago, which became separate from mainland Europe after the sea levels flooded the land around it about 10,000 years ago. After dealing with groups of Vikings, who attempted to make a government within Aurentia and many other kingdoms (including the ones in Ektæózeruich), Christianity spread through the land. Following a rebellion in the 1500s, the United Tæó Realm lost both Barentia and Ektæózeruich, though the concept of both states were common as early as the period before the Vikings. Soon after, an expedition to North America allowed the Ektæó to establish a colony known as the Gold Coast Colony (now Pacifica).

Due to its semi-isolation, industrialisation initially came at a slow pace but its economy prospered over time. During World War I, it was primarily neutral, though a separate war broke out that resulted in a nationalist victory. It especially began to open up to the world during the Interwar era before the Axis installed a puppet government in nearby Næren. During the Cold War, Ektæózeruich aligned itself with the Western bloc even though they were more relaxed on some policies relating to communist regimes.

Considering the fact that it is also the northernmost country within said archipelago, parts of it are made up of permafrost in a boreal environment. Despite this, the climate is quite warm for an area this far north.

Its capital city, Borea, is the most populous in this country and accounts for about a sixth of the country's population
