Teutonland

Teutonland, officially known as the United Commonwealths of Teutonland, is a country located in Andusalia. It has a protectorate state in the continent of Sierris, and owns a few interplanetary bases. It shares land borders with the Czetet Federal Republic, Volka, Tetesia and Irolasia. It also shares a border in Sierris with Neborya and Korado. The Teuton people are densely packed, with a population of 110 million people. The capital is Königsberg, located in Arisha, with the former capital, Kaltestadt located in whats now known as Venrania. The population is mostly Religious, with 97% identifying as Christian, with the other 3% making up of Abyssalists and other religions. Its national languages are Czetet, Volkish, Venrish, Arische and Somarish.

Teutonia's history dates back to the Old Crusades in the 1000s, in the Sierran Continent. The War-faring nation of Arische had launched a crusade against the Sierran Empire, with reasons still unknown. During the crusade, Arische called in her old ally, Venra into the war effort. The 2 nations lost against the ballooning Sierran Empire, but contributed a good stability hit. Due to this war, Arische and Venra grew very close, and noted that there was a muslim nation in the continent of Andusalia. Wanting to crusade the muslims, Arische sent an expedition force to the West Coast of Andusalia, and Venra followed suit. After launching a successful 2nd Crusade, the muslims managed to cut their communication lines, isolating the Arische and Venra expedition forces. The 2 groups decided to band together and form the Crusaderdom of Teutonia.

The Crusaderdom lived in isolation until a nation which was known as the Czeteter Semm got in contact with the Crusaderdom. Teutonia around this time was named the Order of the Cross, and the 2 nations got along fairly well. For Teutonias early days in the late 1800s, it was a Czetet aligned nation. Eventually it broke free and became the Order of the Cross once again. Teutonia became a land of technological advancement, especially in the aeronautics sector. Teutonia in 2126 is a rich, successful nation, with a bright future ahead.

Etymology
The word "Teutonland" comes from Land of the Teuton, a name that was given to the 4 Tribes of Teutono, as a way of simplifying their territorial borders. Once the Arische/Venra people arrived, they named it Teutonia as a mix of Teutonland and Teutono. Eventually, the Teutonland name was used again, when the United Commonwealths first formed. Many people use "Teutonia" and "Teutonland" interchangebly, but they both mean the same thing: Land of the Teuton.
