Nerotysia

Nerotysia (ᛨᚨᛁᛊᛂᛡᚾ Taisern), officially the Kingdom of Nerotysia (ᚧᚮᛝᛂᚾᛏᚢᛘ ᛨᚨᛁᛊᛂᛡᚾ Kyngentum Taisern), is a constituent kingdom of the Zusian Empire. Nerotysia is the nation's second-most populous kingdom, with over 43 million inhabitants, and the third-most densely populated aside from the imperial cities. Covering an area of 247,738 square kilometres, it is the third-largest Zusian realm by land area. It borders Zoria to the north and Tarmory to the west. Nerotysia contains the nation's second-largest city and de-facto cultural capital, Emborn, as well as many other important cities, including Posseck and the royal capital of Ostarna.

Nerotysia is one of the oldest centers of civilization in the world, hosting as it did the mighty Ithoric civilization and its predecessors. The Classical period saw the rise of many powerful city-states along the Nerotysian coast and the Millicker Islands, most notably Tarkum, Belfin, Mondor, Beomar, and Ostarna. The modern Kingdom of Nerotysia emerged in the 15th century AD following the collapse of the Vordic Empire, and it rapidly became the largest and most powerful of the Zusian nations. In the following centuries the kingdom established a sprawling colonial empire, which was later absorbed into the newly reunited Zusian Empire in 1818.
