'''Nahe''', formally the '''Republic of Nahe''' is a fede constitutional republic in northern [[Levantia]] along the [[Ostsee]]. Bordered to the south by [[Yytuskia-Helvana]] and to the east by [[Covinia]], the nation is centered on the [[Nahe River]] and surrounding valley, its borders made up by natural features. The southern border is defined by the [[Toran Alps]], which extend up to the eastern border, while the western border is defined by the [[Nahean Alps]] and the [[Baie River]]. Perhaps the most significant geographic feature is the long disputed [[Vycho River]] along the border with Covina, which has historically been one of the largest geopolitical flashpoints on the continent. Despite being surrounded by mountains and rivers, Nahe's survival over the previous three centuries was as a result of the [[Nahe Lowlands]] which includes some of the most fertile soil in the world, and for thousands of years transformed the region into a major producer of food and a center of trade.

Various tribes have inhabited the Nahe Lowlands since antiquity, with the earliest evidence of habitation being found at a cave in [[Freha]] at the edge of the [[Freha Hills]]. According to legend, the country is named after [[Nahe (Mythical Figure)|Nahe]], the son of [[Japheth]] and grandson of [[Noah]]. He and his wife, [[Brenna (Mythical Figure)|Brenna]], namesake of the country's capital city, were according to the national mythology the progenitors of the [[Nahean]] people. In the story, Nahe and his brother [[Sares (Mythical Figure)|Sares]] disputed the land handed down to them by their father. Angered by defeat in battle, Sares sided with an invader of Nahe's lands, and disappeared. According to legend, Sares will return and exact his revenge on Nahe's descendants. In reality, the origins of the Naheans is recent, as various tribes moving into the region from the east and south banded together against other competitive regions. These tribes later transformed into a series of principalities, kingdoms, and republics, often tied together by a loose system of alliances that lasted for over a thousand years.
