The Syndical Cooperative Kingdom of Vithinja ([[Peoples of Vithinja|Ruþí]]: Viþjinsk) often simply referred to as The Cooperative is a constitutional monarchy located in [[Kiro-Borealis]], but is more politically connected to the Northern [[Levantia|Levantian]] region of [[Ultmar]] and it's various nations. It borders [[Caergwynn]] in the south among the vithinjan isles. Crossing the [[Kilikas Sea]] to the far west lies the island nation of [[Kiravia]], while crossing the sea southwards one can find the lands of [[Faneria]]. Vithinja holds the only land crossing from Kiroborea to Levantia via the Vithins-Awraidd | The Syndical Cooperative Kingdom of Vithinja ([[Peoples of Vithinja|Ruþí]]: Viþjinsk) often simply referred to as The Cooperative is a constitutional monarchy located in [[Kiro-Borealis]], but is more politically connected to the Northern [[Levantia|Levantian]] region of [[Ultmar]] and it's various nations. It borders [[Caergwynn]] in the south among the vithinjan isles. Crossing the [[Kilikas Sea]] to the far west lies the island nation of [[Kiravia]], while crossing the sea southwards one can find the lands of [[Faneria]]. Vithinja holds the only land crossing from Kiroborea to Levantia via the [[Vithins-Awraidd Bridge Project]], a large set of bridges and underwater tunnels connecting the Kiroborea mainland to most of the Vithinjan isles and ending in northern [[Caergwynn]]. The Vithinjan capital is the [[Cities of Vithinja|City of Rolvsvik]], despite being only the 7th largest city in the nation. Rolvsvik holds importance as the historical seat of power of the various royal lines of the nation as well as being the religious center for the [[Church of Rolv]]. The two largest cities are [[Cities of Vithinja|Tår Bringär]] and [[Cities of Vithinja|Cärssund]], both of which lie within the vithinjan isles. Tår Bringär has long been the economic capital of Vithinja as it holds a large and deep natural harbor well placed for both safety and trading purposes. For most of Ultmar history the city benefited from strategically defensible geography, avoiding devastation from the many wars that plagued the Ultmar mainlanders, but since the great war it has fallen in favor somewhat compared to these mainland harbor cities. Vithinja has a population of ~70 million people. The vast majority of the population lives either in the vithinjan isles, or the more temperate southern coastline, but the northern lakes region still holds small population centers. These northern population centers are important to help extract the large wealth of the northern lands. | ||
Vithinja is a relative newcomer among the nations of today in it's current state, only existing in it’s current form for the last 200 years. On the other hand the culture and traditions of a united northern nation has existed for almost a millennium. One of that nations largest issues is caused by large variety in cultures, religion, traditions and more recently ideologies, leading to the nation never truly being able to achieve stability. The nations origins is a tale of two very different peoples fighting each other for the reign but almost always united against foreign threats. The first traces of the two groups arriving in the north date back as far as 700 CE. From the evidence they were not the first people to live in the Vithinjan lands but whatever natives came before are long extinct. It is believed that the first group of settlers who would become the Ruthans left their homeland in western Levantia to sail for new lands in the north, while the celtic origins are even less certain. Both peoples started settling many of the islands along the northern coast of Levantia as well as finding the lands of [[Vithinjan Administrative Divisions|Ruthinja]]. ([[Peoples of Vithinja|Ruþí]]:Fhres-Ruthirí) While the Ruthan people have generally been the rulers over both peoples the [[Vithinjan Demographics|Guerigogled]] have almost always outnumbered them, to the confusion of many scholars. | Vithinja is a relative newcomer among the nations of today in it's current state, only existing in it’s current form for the last 200 years.

The new united kingdom of Ruthinja quickly found a perfect rival, the nearby kingdom of Caergwynn held some control over the Vithinjan isles. The many wars fought between the ruthans and caerics over these islands was the only real external matters that the ruthan kingdom took part in. When not fighting the caerics the ruthans either went out raiding (the many who had not converted to Catholicism) or fought internally. While a feudal system existed in the regions mainly populated by the celts, the ruthan regions maintained a more elective tribal order, with a meeting of the various tribal rulers to decide what to do next. The fact that the king was never invited to these tribal meetings was a slight that lead to civil war more than once. In the end however, the kings of Ruthinja were never able to destroy these old tribal systems, mainly because the best warriors for his armies came from these lands as well as the economic boost from their raiding. Because of these raids however it was not rare for the ruthinjan king to find himself excommunicated. | The new united kingdom of Ruthinja quickly found a perfect rival, the nearby kingdom of Caergwynn held some control over the Vithinjan isles.
