The nation features the central Estalic Mountains and the Grain Hills, where it is cooler and more favorable to live in than the hot and sizzling coastal south, the mountains are also rich in minerals, granite and limestone. Here's the link to the nation's plan: https://postimg.cc/fkYV9z5v

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
The nation is divided into 4 provinces: Northdan, South Coast, Hillview and the Capital Region, with most of the population centered on the northern side and the mountains. A small amount resides in Port Amberley, a calm seaside town. Most of the land in the Heather Valley (Hillview Province) is used for farming and other agriculture. The country maintains a steady economy, with a good amount of employed people, although most are in rural sectors. The low-rise capital city of Veridium shows early 1900s Ingerish architecture, as it was used as a mining outpost at the time. Three major expressways cover the territory, ES-1,2, and 3, along with multiple primary and secondary roads. A railway system also connects major cities. Two major airports serve the area, one in the Capital and one in Port Amberley. They continue to provide the best service as they could, putting them on the top 20 best airports in the region of eastern Archanta. The urban mapping style is mostly inspired from real-world US and UK organic or grid designs. Although the region is influenced by Ingrea, people drive on the right side of the road.
 | History & culture |

| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Estalia comes from the colonizing of Valonian traders in 1821, which eventually led to the Veridian Gold Rush, a museum stands today in the capital for the rich past this formal colony had. The language is Ingerish and native dialects. Most of the country's culture comes from Ingrea's traditions -such as having a prime minister- and the native Hvaya tribes, who peacefully submitted to the Ingrean vistors. Conflict began in 1903 when Pirates came into contact with traders shipping out gold to other parts of the world, Port Amberley's harbor was in flames as Pirates looted the gold and fled. From then on, port security has been tighter, which brought a scar to the country's economy. Decades later, the nation gained independence after peaceful reforms in 1937.
