The Kingdom of Dacia (Dacian: Regatul Daciei) Is a nation in Northwestern Bailtem. It has a predominantly tropical climate, and an area of 376,909 km2 (145,525 sq mi) and a population of around 22 Million. The capital and largest city is Pătrașcugrad. Other important urban centers include Peirenes, Păuşeşti-Măglaşi, Diniaşi, Stefanesti, Moldoveana, Mihaila Iulia, Flendura,Visavodium and Kolnita. The Galanu river flows through the center of the country's mainland, essentially cutting it into 2 distinct cultural zones. The tallest mountain is Moldoveanu Peak in the Carpathian Mountains to the North, at an altitude of 2,544 m. The nation was the home of the First and Second Dacian Empires, which were both regional powers excelling at multiple things. However, the 2nd Empire fell by 1877 as Slave revolts and economic stagnation plagued the nation. The nation participated in the Great War (Pacifica), between 1950 and 1955. Shortly after, the Dacian Civil War would break out between Communists and Monarchists, which would exile the Monarchists to Rijykas.The 1989-1990 Dacian Revolution saw the return of the Monarchy-in-exile, and liberalization of the economy. Dacia is a developed nation, with a high-income economy. New Dacia has seen rapid economic growth in recent years. Its most important industry is Agriculture, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, Information Technology, Trout fishing, Arms Manufacturing and Dairy exports. The nation is a major exporter of Oil and Gas, however it's electricity grid is dominated by Nuclear (67%) and Hydropower (29%). The nation is a member of the World Assembly. The majority of its population speak Dacian, a speech/dialect in the Tarnese Language group. Aegean is the 2nd most spoken language, mostly in the northern areas. It is spoken by roughly 20% of the population. Many Aegean families came from the Rainbow Islands during Imperial times as merchants.

Dacia was the name of a former civilization in the west of the modern nation. Many of its influences today can still be seen. The name had stuck with the people of the area, as they called themselves ''Dacians'' or ''Dacics''.
History
Ancient Dacia
The first modern humans came to inhabit the lands now under Dacian territory in around 10,000 BCE, at the same time of the agricultural revolution. The Gávealea culture dominated these lands, living along the Western coast of Northwestern Bailtem and the Galanu river. In 4000 BCE, People living in Dacia begun migrating across Bailtem, creating many different but culturally/linguistically-related clans, also known as the Tarnese. Stoinia (Pacifica), among other nations, were a result of this migration. microscopic city states and communities would characterize the Bronze age in Dacia. Writing was first developed in 3000 BC among the Galanu Delta city states of Byarochyn and Ianria. However, the river valley was commonly invaded by Rainforest and Rijk peoples, leading to a weaponised society.
The Tarnian tribes of Dacia would unite under the First Dacian Empire around 600 BC, with its capital at Tryphaina Bouzes. The territories around the Galanu as well as the nearby coast would be under direct rule of this empire, with tributary states on the fringes of the rainforests. This empire dominated Northwestern Bailtem. However, as a century passed, Barbarian raids from the west became even more frequent, with archeology inferring that raiders mentioned in Dacian scripts originated from Rijykas, although these peoples were named as ''Sea Raiders''. In 460 BCE, The Dacian Empire would collapse, leaving behind a power gap in Northern Bailtem. Local lords commonly went to war over each other, resulting in a collapse of living standards aswell as trade and population.
Dacian Dark Ages
After the collapse of the First Dacian Empire, Dacia went into a dark age, as no singular power would manage to rule the region despite many constantly trying. This led to multiple tribes from Central Bailtem settling in the area, which would lead to 5-15% of the modern Dacian language being words from these migrator tribes. The city of Pătrașcugrad itself (known in these times as Pithorsila) became a small duchy of its own, being the only sign of actual society in the whole region. The Duchy would slowly expand along the Danube over the centuries, subjugating the Galanu valley. Pithorsila would eventually establish the Duchy of Paltorina.
Medieval Dacia
The Duchy of Paltorina (referred to in Medieval Tarnian texts as Pîltorîna) would be established sometime in the 8th century along the Danube. The local tribes would adopt Orthodox Christianity around this time, giving way to increased bonds among both Tribal and Feudal Dacian societies. Many wars between local lords would strengthen Paltorina they expanded around the Galanu. This instability paved the way to Paltorina's expansion leading to the subjugation of the whole region. In the 14th Century, Prince Eliot Starabab had united all of the Dacian-speaking lands of the Northwestern tip of Bailtem, marrying off family members and integrating areas under personal unions. His succesor, Mircea, would go to the northernmost tips of Bailtem, subjugating the local Aegean population. In the 15th century, Paltorina would begin expanding inland into the rainforests and down the Galanu, aswell as establishing holdings across the Eastern Rainbow Islands and Uvalor. In 1422, The 2nd Empire of Dacia would be established, and the Imperial Era would begin.
