Historically centred on the [[Zalgistal]] around modern-day [[Frehmenwerth]], Hendalarsk took its current shape during its Golden Age (c.1450-1650), with its modern borders largely those "natural bounds" reached during the Great Campaigns of Archking [[Maximilian II of Hendalarsk|Maximilian II]] in the later 16th century. The 21st century has nevertheless seen its economic and cultural centre of gravity shift towards the [[Vandarch]] littoral - and particularly to the northern metropolis of [[Zalgisbeck]], which is the nation's largest city. | Historically centred on the [[Zalgistal]] around modern-day [[Frehmenwerth]], Hendalarsk took its current shape during its Golden Age (c.1450-1650), with its modern borders largely those "natural bounds" reached during the Great Campaigns of Archking [[Maximilian II of Hendalarsk|Maximilian II]] in the later 16th century.

The Most Serene Federation is a geographically and culturally diverse nation, noted in modern times for its extraordinary and relatively unspoilt natural beauty. Mountain ranges, such as those which mark the nation's southwestern and central frontiers, give way to extensive tracts of arable lowland and, in the west, substantial areas of virgin forest, while large rivers such as the [[Zalgis]] have played an often crucial role in shaping Hendalarskara history. Historically dominated by its Hendalarskara ethnic majority, recent decades have seen a pronounced increase in the influence of Lagyar and Pentapolitan culture, as well as the gradual penetration of Junglish through modern communications and mass media. | The Most Serene Federation is a geographically and culturally diverse nation, noted in modern times for its extraordinary and relatively unspoilt natural beauty.
