Sedunn (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 and the overseas province Remetull Islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Mainland Sedunn is situated between the Limmvasd and Jytann mountain ranges and the South Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Harmakis to the north, Ezervulge to the east, Nueva Ascensión to the south-west and 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. . Mainland Sedunn has a total area of 83,502 km2, and including the Remetull Islands, Sedunn has a total area of 93,493 km2, and a population of almost 16.9 million (as of 2021). Sedunn is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic with its capital in Grovne, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major cities are Flered, Goends, Lomared and Savvered.
Sedunn emerged as a unified nation at the end of the Iron Age. Several important 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, 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.
Between the 15th and the 19th centuries, Sedunnic explorers and merchants first expanded their trade network to Cordilia and 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 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 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, and Grovne is the seat of its Headquarters and the Assembly. The headquarters of the 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.
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.
