Geography
Half of the country is situated on the islands, the three main ones are Sakawispa, Dalka and Blizwele, plus 16 smaller islands and several rocks on the western side and the coasts are jagged and characterized by wide bays, caused by the icy currents of the White Sea. On the whole, the country is very cold, with a summer temperature of around 25 ° and -20 ° winter with a lot of moisture mainly on the islands and in the valleys.
The territory of the Redania is very uneven and steep, the islands tend to have cliffs that reach even 50 meters in height and go from the coast to the mountain in less than 30 km. The part of the continent is mostly mountainous with few plains and plateaus, the highest peak reached by the mountains on the continent, Mount Etust (3188 m), is a solitary peak since the nearby mountains do not exceed 2500 m. There is an absence of rivers, many of them are little creeks that do not exceed 20 km in length. The flora consists of pine fir and beech gift while the coasts are dominated by durmasts and yellow oaks. In the woods mountain is easy to run into bears, red deer and wild boar, lynx and mountain puma dominate the less populated areas while on islands very common the wild goats and brunkies.

Demography
The population is primarily made up of Varihans, Odussihans, Ors and Arvins, while the coasts there is a large concentration of Flustins.
In recent years, the remarkable industrial development has increased the immigration of Eiseld, Foridrens and Arifer. Large part of population prefer to live in the coast cities instead of the hinterland which is populated only by Ors and Arifer.
The Redania not profess an official religion, but there is a high concentration of Corinthianisans in the main cities and Hauvanians professed especially on the islands and most isolated countries.

Economy
The economy is based mainly on exports of timber and fish, cultivation aren't much praticed due the limited arable land. The large amount of petroleum found in the territorial waters of Ostawirb and rich iron mines have greatly boosted the development of marine and automotive industries, large refining oil and steel plants. This production has allowed Redania have a great commercial importance in the Naenskov Sea.
Despite its robust economy, many northern states (especially Svaeland) accuse Redania to piracy aganist their cargo ships and raids against their coastal cities, so that was mobilized the UPAR to defend the northen coasts to avoid a conflict.

History
In ancient times the region was populated by Redens, Ors and Arvins who lived thanks the raids against the neighboring populations. The emerging Arvinian-Han nations of Duronia and Kovakkia start a purge aganist Redens, but had to give up after the failure of the invasion of Jasvar island. In 1730 the Redens settled at the foot of Mount Etust where they built many forts to facilitate their raids. With the expansion of Engher's kingdom, Redens found themselves in difficulty because Engher had conquered all the surrounding territories. The end of Redens occurred in 2316 and commemmorare for the event, a legend says that the engherenian general founded a city on the spot where the head of the Reden's chief fell, he called Duji-u-Vus (victory over the barbarians). Since then Redens became citizens of the Engher Kingdom and a civilized population.
With the collapse of Engher in 3384, were born many duchies and baronies. One of the most important was the duchy of Kalicei which became the kingdom in 3522 under the name of Redania (in honor to their ancestors). Under the guidance of Brazak II the Young, Redania conquered the Duchy of Nabrazi in 3529, Blizwele in 3542, and Sakawispa Ostawirb between 3582 and 3585 (which also included Dalka).
The complete unification took place when the king Algir V married the daughter of the Duke of Niozina in 3715 and later his son Budis II married the Duchess Ysonda of Demzarma in 3729.
But the death of Budis II in 3753 and the absence of direct heirs to the Redania's throne led Ysonda to become the new queen, who married Prime Minister (giving confirmation to rumors about their previous relationships), putting an end to the House of Kalicei giving rise to the House of Etust .
The House Etust still rules today with King Isaac I, which led to the Redania in an industrial revolution.

I have difficulty imagining that 19.1 million people could inhabit a country that small. My country Arcari has just 877,500.
