Osturland

Osturland (Osturic: Osztourlasc), officially the Grand Kingdom of Osturland Osturic: Gszuanska Hetraszkanusc vu Osztourlasc), is a nation in Western Syvanirastir. While it's international influence and territorial size have decreased significantly since the original Grand Kingdom centuries ago, Osturland is still a fairly powerful member of the international community. As a member of AZOVV together with Arkasia, Zarkil, Vedek and Virzain, Osturland has been instrumental in combating the influence of the Veldan Union and their allies in the Ander Pact, however with the Arkasian Civil War incapacitating Arkasia, border disputes with Scaren distracting Osturland's traditional allies in Vedek, Zarkil turning inwards and Virzain some distance away, Osturland may soon be forced to enter a state of war with the Veldan Union effectively on it's own.

Lacking a Grand King for several decades, and only having had one since the nation's refoundation, Osturland is far from the greatness it once saw in the United Realms of Osturland and Vedek centuries ago, and voices which grow stronger amongst the nation's several major minorities are calling for more and more autonomy, perhaps eventually resulting in their independence or even the collapse of the Ostur government and a return to Ostur non-sovereignty.
