Essena

Are you mistaken with East Essena?

Essena, or West Essena, officially the Federation of Essena (Armilllic: Федорскин ч Еſена / Fedorskēn ch Essena), is a country on the border of Krya and Norvland. The country was first a colony in the Novish Empire before the Essenian Revolution of 1846. The capital, Ovashnyan, is on Lake Ovblast. The country borders the lakes Ovblast and Veninsia to the north, the Orange Bay to the south, and the Korrish Bay to the South East. It is currently a superpower with 83M+ citizens, 67M of which are in the military. However, Essena has been in a conflict with East Essena since 1859, called the Essenian Civil War.

Etymology
The name Essen comes from Sir Prance Robyar when he set up a Novish colony there. He named it Essenakonoshkēn, from Essen, East, and Konoshkēn, Colony (East Colony). People in Novland started shortening this to Essenakosh, then later to Essena.

History
In 1627, Sir Prance Robyar (Ср Пранс Робяр) was sailing to Novish Korland when he accidentally went up the Korrish Bay, finding a wonder of desert meeting rainforest and grasslands. He set up a colony there, which he named East Colony.

Tsar Pēodor III agreed to keeping the colony, and the city of Essengrad was built. By 1772, the colony had been making Novland an extreme amount of income, which the Frakish disapproved of, starting the 12 Years' War.

The Frankish lost and lost West Colony, now called Wessena. In 1846 however, riots were happening by the natives and rising hatred for Novland started the Essenian Revolution. After 11 years, the revolutionaries won and they set up the Republic of Essena. However, in 1869, Efyen Omakhar was unsettled with a democracy, so him and his party, the "Monarchist Party of Essena" (Tsardiskēm Parkev ch Essenaskēya), led an uprising by assassinating President Roman Nevgronish and taking control. By 1900, they had been pushed into the east from the west (where they got their name) and the fighting became a stalemate up until today.
