Nunsiak, officially the Royal Republic of Nünsiak (Nünsi: An Tüzass Ida Nünsiake /ɑ̃ tʰyðas ita nynsʲakʰɛ/), is a unitary constitutional monarchy in western Levantia. It lies between the southern shore of the Vandarch and the highest range of the Gebir mountains. It borders Hendalarsk to the north, Asiland and Sylvala to the south, and Yonderre to the east.
Nunsiak is a member of the League of Nations.
Etymology
Why is your country called what it is? What is the source of that word or phrase?
History
What is a general overview of your country's path through history?
First era
Archaeological evidence points to very early Nunsi settlement, followed by the ancestors of the Celts and Goths.
Second era
Early Gothic trading/raiding state, think of the Nunsi in a Kievan Rus/Slav situation. They kick the Goths out eventually, probably with help from the southern Levantines and Catholics, resulting in their peaceful mass conversion, and setting a precedent for cooperation with the south.
Third era
Miaphysite Christology and a few other disagreements cause a schism with the Catholic church, souring relations with the south. This period of increased isolationism and external hostility contributes to the country's unique cultural identity and martial tradition.
Fourth era
The Protestant reformation largely has the opposite effect in Nunsiak, leading to the Nunsi Church's reconciliation with the mainstream Catholic Church, save for a select few sects who reject the compromises made (which could also serve as guidelines for the later Eight Points Agreement). By strengthening ties with the HLE sphere and importing new ideas and technologies, Nunsiak enters its Golden Age, marked by cultural enlightenment and an explosion of artists, philosophers and composers.
Fifth era
The Golden Age decays into decadence, and what starts as civil unrest escalates into full revolt. The revolutionaries reach an uneasy standstill, founding an unstable and divided republic. Pressured by allies of the King in exile and the Loyalists within the country, a new constitution is drafted, wherein a republican form of government is adopted, and a great many of the King's power revoked, rendering him little more than a figurehead.
The two Great Wars cause the government to grow increasingly autocratic and militant, much to the dismay of the near-powerless royal family and their supporters.
Sixth era
Nunsiak continues to enjoy its status as a hub of culture, tourism and industry, but with tensions— both internal, at the ineffective authoritarian regime's inability to represent the people, the growing socioeconomic divide, and external tensions with prospective LU membership/international cooperation vs conservative isolationist policies, and probably beef with Sylvala or another neighbor.

Nunsiak sits between the Vandarch and the Gebir mountains, affording it a highly varied topography. Much of the country is occupied by high mountains and plateaus, along with deep, narrow lakes. Exceptions are the lush, fertile plains along the littoral and eastern regions.
Climate and environment
The Nunsi enjoy a dry, subtropical climate in the south, with increased humidity in the north and west, and cooler temperatures along the littoral. Much of the country's montane territory has a rather unusual continental dry-summer (Köppen type Dsa) climate. Summers are generally hot and dry, with wetter winters ranging from cool to frigid in the peaks.
