Granish Federation

The Federation of Granish States (Low Granish: Da Lugokurz of Granen Stats), commonly called the Granish Federation (Granen Lugokurz), is a federal republic located in central Granheim, Arpeia. It is bordered to the north by Magrick, to the west by, and to the south by Ibanmor. The Federation covers LAND AREA square kilometers and has an estimated population of 431,981,309. The nation consists of 12 states and the Capital Territory of Deranfort.

Once an empire centered around the Kingdom of Nachel, the Nachelian Revolution of 1742 transformed the empire into a federation. Although it enjoyed popular support due to its expulsion of the unpopular Reeves dynasty, the Federation's subsequent annexation of Magrick resulted in a schism between it and its traditional ally, Nogodrick (Alsesia), as Magrick's independence had been crucial in maintaining the balance of power in Granheim. The ensuing state rivalry was responsible for a series of wars until the Federation was decisively defeated and abolished following the Second Granish Continental War. The Federation was legally reestablished in 1952 when its Occupation Authority was abolished per the provisions of the Treaty of Zenolapolus.

The Federation is a leading economic and cultural state, renowned for its history and media exports. Its economy is primarily service-driven, a dramatic change from the past decades in which industrial manufacturing was the source of its economic power.

Since its reestablishment, the Federation has been a member of the International Union, where it serves as a permanent member of every component body. Some scholars do not consider the Federation to be a fully sovereign state due to the conditions imposed by the Zenolapolus Treaty. In international commerce, the Federation is subject to import sanctions and tariffs not imposed on any other states, and its military, the Federal Defense Forces, cannot be freely deployed even within its own territory.
