Elmana

Elmana (/ɛlmɑːnɑː; Elman: Elemana) officially Republic of Elmana, is a country in North-western Europe, located on the Alleut Peninsula. The sovereign state's only land border is the Netherlands to the south, however it also touches the North Sea. To the west of Elmana is the United Kingdom, to the east is Denmark and to the northeast is Norway.

The country was founded when four nations living on the Elman peninsula united in 1605. The country was one originally of the most powerful in Europe.

Elmana's capital, Salden is home to 5,206,817 people and is also the largest city. Elmana itself has a population of 27,891,325, meaning 18.67% of Elmans live in the capital.

Etymology
Elmana (Elemana) comes from the Aurican word "elema" (meaning together; unity) and the Seulish word "meuna" (meaning peace). "Elema meuna" means "together in peace" in Old Elman.

1605: Forming of Elmana
Before Elmana became a nation, there were four nations on the Alleut Peninsula: Aurica in the northwest, Drenca in the northeast, Marei in the southwest and Seul in the southeast. Each of them had suffered, partly due to the government and absolute monarchy - revolts, war and corruption had plagued each nation.

On the 26th February 1605, Ron Marus (a Seulian businessman) began a campaign to unite the countries, which was supported by thousands of people. News of the Marus Campaign spread, which led to Ron Marus becoming a public figure across the peninsula. It is estimated that nearly 85% of citizens wanted the four to unite. Chancellor William Benres of Seul and Josef Monten of Aurica, two very famous politicians both supported the Marus Campaign and the governments eventually all signed the Treaty of Four, uniting each Kingdom on the 25th September 1605. Ron Marus was elected as the first Prime Minister (or Tareine) on the 2nd October. The language of Elman had already emerged some time prior, and over time it became Elmana's official language.
