Geography
Feslandia lies on the continent Ostrallo, the most southern continent in Tavadia and by far the coldest one. The country mainly lies on the Fesland Island and the Zapadnayan Peninsula. The rest are smaller islands like the Zipat Islands in the Monopati Ocean and the Zelesky Islands in the Cyenne Ocean. The average temperature in Feslandia is 13°C (55,4°F) and the coldest temperature ever recorded since the start of the weather record in Feslandia is -68°C (-90,4°F), recorded in Biskatyin, State of Jufcat in the year 1879. In the centre of the Zapadnayan Peninsula and Fesland, there are two mountain ranges, The Saryarka Mountains in Zapadnaya and the Silichy Mountains in Fesland, where the tallest point in Feslandia, Mount Rishky (6311m, 20705ft) can be found. The Great Feslandian Plains can be found in the north of Fesland. It is home to 50% of the population and its one of the only places in Feslandia where agriculture is possible. The capital of Feslandia can also be found in the centre of the Great Feslandian Plains.

Flora and Fauna
The Flora and Fauna of Feslandia is very diverse. In the north, mostly deciduous forests can be found, due to the mild climate, whilest in the south only smaller bushes and plants can be found, due to the taigas and tundras that don't allow bigger trees/bushes to grow. Mammals can be found in all parts of Feslandia especially in the Great Feslandian Planes. It is not uncommon to see a bear or a hedgehog walk over the streets of northern Fesland. Feslandia also has a quite large variety of birds that live all over the country, most of them living in the deciduous forests in the north. The national animal of Feslandia is also a bird, called the Feslandian Goldfinch, a very rare species of bird, only living in the northern parts of Varia (Feslandian State in the north of Fesland Island)

History
Prehistoric Times

The first humans to have ever come to Feslandia were the Shaanati People in 11,000 BC. They settled in the area that is today known as the City of Zbor, in the south of the country. They then have lived there for around 400 years, before they died because the average temperature was probably at around -47°C(-52,6°F) After that, Feslandia stayed uninhabited for 6,000 years, until the Ashrahti People have arrived in what is today known as Soljunka. There they have slowly evolved into a rich civilisation with lots of crops due to the mild temperatures. They have lived there for a very long time in peace, until an Andusalian tribe arrived in around 370 BC. They have killed many Ashranties and later founded new settlements in their new home. The language that these Andusalian tribes spoke is today considered to be Proto-Old-Feslandian. In the meantime, Sierran tribes arrived at what is today known to be Cermin. They however brought their own language with them, and this language is what we today call Proto-Feslandian. Even today there are similiarities in these two languages with the languages in the areas they came from, especially in Allian and Old-Feslandian, because these two languages are basically the same.

Ancient Times

In 221 AC, tensions between the Sierran and Andusalian Tribes, now called Postrians (Andusalians) and Salasians (Sierrans), were extremly, leading into a war between the two tribes. The Postrians have ultimatly won the war and annexed all Salasian territory. They then decided to make a real country called Postrovka, the first country on Feslandian lands and made Zoloty I, King of Postrovka. The new capital of Postrovka was then named Zolotygrad, to honor their first king. Until 342 AC, Postrovka expanded and took the entire island of Fesland and all of Essland.

Middle Ages

By the end of the 10th century, Postrovka was gone. The kingdom collapsed due to a unsuccessfull war with some tribes in the north Essland. It was then split into 10 Kingdoms called Soljunka, Varia, Cermin, Razeazlovia, Jufcat, Medvezhka, Sjonsk, Zolotygrad, Tiene and Arstin. For centuries, Feslandia has been split into 10 kingdoms, until the revolutions of 1462. People have protested against their kings in almost every kingdom nearly at the same time. And because of those revolutions, people have started to develop a national identity. They have then succeeded to overthrow their old bad kings and united the 10 kingdoms into one single kingdom called The Kingdom of Feslandia. Fes is the Feslandian word for ten, that's why they named the country Feslandia.

Kingdom of Feslandia

In 1579, King Ivan II. ordered the construction of a new capital in the Great Feslandian Planes. This city was called Aonke. The residence of the King has then been moved to Aonke from Zolotygrad in 1603 in the newly constructed Bely Palace. Around this time, new cities also appeared in the south, because they slowly learned how to live in colder regions of Feslandia. 1674, Feslandia expanded into the Zapadnayan Peninsula and met various new countries like the Kingdom of Zapad, Kingdom of Smovoda and the Kingdom of Maila. These new kingdoms were very peaceful, small and extremly rich in natural resources. That's why King Boris I. has declared war on these kingdoms and conquered them successfully. After these wars, Feslandias borders havent really changed. 1799, King Smodrow spend 70% of Feslandias gold and money into a coronation that made him Emperor of Feslandia. This however made the the economy crash and suddenly 60% of all Feslandians were unemployed. The years between 1801 and 1804 were also one of the coldest years ever in Feslandia, causing bad harvests and lastly starvation. All these events were factores of yet another Revolution between 1805-1807 called the Dark Revolution.It failed due to the massive army that the King had. After the revolution, everyone stoped thinking about any changes in Feslandia, everyone besides the Krasnet, a small group of intellectuals that wanted to change everything in Feslandia. They wrote a book called the Communist Manifesto in 1824, that was extremly popular. Soon, more and more people started to think that this country needs changes. This worried the King, so he banned all communist groups and made a new law that allowed communists to be executed. Thousands of people then protested against this new law, resulting into the death of 1,240 people.
