The State of Laine ['læɪn] (Castellanese: Estado de Laín ['lai.ŋ]) is a state in the northeastern region of the Federal States of Archanta, located on the coast of the Ardentic Ocean. Laine borders Eustacia to the north, Wilthamshire to the west and Orange Coast to the south. Laine also shares a maritime border with Unesia in the northeast. Hálison and Orterrado are both the capital cities of the state while Orterrado is also the largest city in Laine. Laine is divided into 12 counties, ranging between the population of 1,430,000 in Orterrado and 52,000 Marlington county.

Etymology

The origin of the name "Laine" is unknown. One theory is that the name comes from the old name on the city of Northeastern Port, "La Entrada" (lit. The Entrance). The city used to be the main maritime entrance to the state until the construction of the Orterrado port in 1807.

Another theory, and the most accepted one, is that the name comes from a translation of a name in the Elādig'ëan language, a native language spoken in the region. In Elādeg'ëan, the western area of Laine was called "Ākso'sgo'ï", meaning "walking down the hill". In the 1700s the name for arable land at the foot of a hill in Ingerish was "Laine"[1], therefore it is believed to be an attempt to translate the native. Ākso'sgo'ï is still accepted as the name of the state in the native language.
