'''Sedunn''' ([[Sedunnic language (Pacifica)|Sedunnic]]: ''Sedunn'' ['seːd̪ɵ̞n̪ː]), officially the '''Kingdom of Sedunn''' (Sedunnic: ''Devtoved Sedunn'' ['d̪eːvt̪uːveːd̪ 'seːd̪ɵ̞n̪ː]), is a sovereign parliamentary republic whose territory consists of mainland Sedunn (also called Bailtem-Sedunn) in the southwestern corner of [[Bailtem (Pacifica)|Bailtem]] and the overseas province [[Remetull Islands (Pacifica)|Remetull Islands]] <!-- [[Vastraenn (Pacifica)|Vastraenn]]  in [[Keyli (Pacifica)|Keyli]]--> in the [[South Pacific Ocean (Pacifica)|South Pacific Ocean]]. Mainland Sedunn is situated between the Limmvasd and Jytann mountain ranges and the [[South Pacific Ocean (Pacifica)|South Pacific Ocean]] and the [[Mediterranean Sea (Pacifica)|Mediterranean Sea]], bordered by [[Harmakis (Pacifica)|Harmakis]] to the north, [[Ezervulge(Pacifica)|Ezervulge]] to the east, Nueva Ascensión to the south-west and [[Ikoania (Pacifica)|Ikoania]] to the southeast. It is characterized by an arable rolling landscape with a Mediterranean climate in its coastal and central regions and steep mountains with a humid continental and alpine climates towards the northern and eastern borders. Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, the Remetull Islands have a humid subtropical climate. <!-- Situated on the eastern tip of the Antarctic Continent, Vastraenn is dominated by glaciers, but an ice-free tundra exists on its eastern tip called [[Green Vastraenn (Pacifica)|Green Vastraenn]]-->. Mainland Sedunn has a total area of 83,502 km<sup>2</sup>, and including the Remetull Islands, Sedunn has a total area of  93,493 km<sup>2</sup>, and a population of almost 16.9 million (as of 2021). Sedunn is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic with its capital in [[Grovne (Pacifica)|Grovne]], the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major cities are Flered, Goends, Lomared and Savvered.
The United States of Izaakia is the largest nation in the Keyli continent, and has 2 overseas territories, with a total Area of 324,935km^2 north of the 70th parallel (Izaakia claims all land south of the 70th parallel (15,500,000km2) these claims are disputed). The population of Izaakia is 96 million Million, mostly concentrated on the northern coast of Keyli and the coasts of La Montagne and Brödmark, with large population centres in the capital Izaakston (5 Million), Port Vent (9 Million), Hopstown (7 Million) and New Mako (14 million).


Sedunn emerged as a unified nation at the end of the Iron Age. Several important [[Dures (Pacifica)|Duric]] cities had emerged in what is today's mainland Sedunn, predominantly south of the Setru River. The cities were part of an extensive trade network stretching across the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. They were in fierce competition with each other, but also with other larger cities in the trade network. To consolidate their resources and remove the internal Duric competition, the five most powerful clan leaders chose a common leader, a king, to rule the lands which the Dures inhabited, thereby initiating a consolidation process that was to incorporate all lands inhabited by the [[Dures (Pacifica)|Dures]], forming the elective monarchy of Sedunn. The country remained part of the intricate Mediterranean trade network and emerged as an important major maritime power in the early middle ages. Some time not long after the unification process, The Remetull Islands were discovered and settled.
The Izaakian political system is officially a Constitutional Monarchy, with Empress Astrid Iceborn remaining head of state, however she now has no constitutional powers or rights outside the right to consult and be Informed. There is a democratically elected federal government led by Prime Minister Valkyrie Mountbatten with devolved governments in each of the 3 nations and the New Mako-Izaakston conurbation . Economically the nation of Izaakia is highly developed with a relatively high manufacturing output, led by the furniture producer Izea, the technology firm Taiga and all terrain car manufacturer Ice Shark. Outside of the manufacturing sector, Izaakia takes advantage of its location along shipping lanes between the Cordilian Sea and the Brevelo Sea, with New Mako being a global shipping centre, there is also a large environmental tourism sector. The nations of Brödmark and La Montagne are not developed as highly as Izaakia, however they do have successful economies in agriculture, tourism, mining(particular la montane), finance, manufacturing and arms production.  


Between the 15th and the 19th centuries, Sedunnic explorers and merchants first expanded their trade network to [[Cordilia (Pacifica)|Cordilia]] and [[Crabry (Pacifica)|Crabry]], then further and further, asserting itself as a major naval and trade power. This lead to several conflicts and wars with other nations. Sedunn notably never tried to conquer or colonise new land and  remained a democracy.
In a [[Peter I's War (Pacifica)|war between 1884 and 1885]], Ezervulge attempted to break Sedunn as a naval power and install a less democratic regime, fearing that Sedunnic liberal ideas would gain more ground in Ezervulge, but it was decisively defeated. In 1915 imperialist [[Ubesii (Pacifica)|Ubesii]] declared war on Sedunn with the same basic goals. The war ended inconclusively, but Ubesii failed to achieve its goals. Sedunn then fought with the winning Democratic Alliance during the [[Great War]]. After these costly wars, many Sedunners started to question what was called the "extraversion" and Sedunnic involvement in international affairs. As an effect Sedunn employed a strict neutrality and non-interference policy until the beginning of the 21st century where the policy was radically changed. Sedunn hosted the summit which founded the [[World Forum (Pacifica)|World Forum]], and Grovne is the seat of its Headquarters and the Assembly. The headquarters of the [[CPSC (Pacifica)|CPSC]] is also located in Sedunn. The country plays a prominent role in regional and global economic, military, cultural and diplomatic affairs.
Sedunn has a well developed welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education. It ranks very high in quality of life, health, education, protection of civil liberties, economic competitiveness, equality, prosperity and human development. The Sedunnic mixed-market economy is export-oriented and is an important producer of ships, vehicles, machinery, pharmaceuticals, electronics and various agricultural products.

The United States of Izaakia is the largest nation in the Keyli continent, and has 2 overseas territories, with a total Area of 324,935km^2 north of the 70th parallel (Izaakia claims all land south of the 70th parallel (15,500,000km2) these claims are disputed). The population of Izaakia is 96 million Million, mostly concentrated on the northern coast of Keyli and the coasts of La Montagne and Brödmark, with large population centres in the capital Izaakston (5 Million), Port Vent (9 Million), Hopstown (7 Million) and New Mako (14 million).

The Izaakian political system is officially a Constitutional Monarchy, with Empress Astrid Iceborn remaining head of state, however she now has no constitutional powers or rights outside the right to consult and be Informed. There is a democratically elected federal government led by Prime Minister Valkyrie Mountbatten with devolved governments in each of the 3 nations and the New Mako-Izaakston conurbation . Economically the nation of Izaakia is highly developed with a relatively high manufacturing output, led by the furniture producer Izea, the technology firm Taiga and all terrain car manufacturer Ice Shark. Outside of the manufacturing sector, Izaakia takes advantage of its location along shipping lanes between the Cordilian Sea and the Brevelo Sea, with New Mako being a global shipping centre, there is also a large environmental tourism sector. The nations of Brödmark and La Montagne are not developed as highly as Izaakia, however they do have successful economies in agriculture, tourism, mining(particular la montane), finance, manufacturing and arms production.


Etymology

The name Sedunn originates from the treaty that established the nation. By the end of the Iron Age, the leadership of several important Sedunnic cities consolidated their power and elected a king to rule all the lands that they controlled, which were located between the South Pacific Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Limmvasd and Jytann mountain ranges. The new nation became known as Skayimmend Seidŭned (the Realm/Land Between). In later phonetic changes, all diphthongs disappeared, and "realm/land" was dropped from the name, resulting in today's Sedunn.

The formal name of Sedunn in Sedunnic is Devtoved Sedunn, which roughly could be translated to the Democracy Sedunn. However, in Austral the formal name is Kingdom of Sedunn, due to the fact that (elected) kings and queens ruled Sedunn when it came into contact with nations speaking Austral. A more correct term today would be Republic of Sedunn, since the kings/queens have no more power than ordinary prime ministers in parliamentary republics.
