Scueria

Scueria, officially the Republic of Scueria, is a sovereign state located in western Yoju. Scueria borders Övlanda to the west, Norikwhum to the south-west, Esia to the south and east, and the Northern Ocean along its northern coastline. Scueria is named after the Scuerian River, which nearly bisects the country into east and west. In the Scuerian language the nation is often called Folksjord, or people's land.

That land that is now Scueria has been inhabited continuously by humans since the Neolithic Era. Between the 2nd and 5th Centuries of the Common Era Scueria was gradually settled by people similar to the, creating settlements and ports along the Northern Ocean. Around 1000 CE the Scuerian people gradually coalesced into a single realm known as the Notker Kingdom, which lasted for roughly three centuries before being encroached by the Nuki between 1300-1500 CE. Beginning around the 1700s however Fusen began gradually colonizing Scueria, turning some parts of the country into battlegrounds between the Nuki and Fusenese. Scueria remained a part of the Fusen's colonial empire until the Great Eulhae War, after which Scueria was granted independence. In comparison to much of the rest of western Yoju contemporary Scueria has largely maintained a stable, democratic government since independence, though it has suffered from poor relations with many of its neighboring states.

Scueria is a organized as a. Scueria is home to 24 million inhabitants, and Djeld is its capital and largest city.

Etymology
Scueria is named for the Scuerian River, which roughly splits the country in half as it flows north from the mountainous border with Esia before splitting into the West and East Scuerian. The exact origin of Scueria is uncertain. It is likely a corruption or mistranslated word, possibly from the root word "skue" (to see or display), that was misunderstood by early Fusenese colonists.

Domestically Scueria is often referred to as Folksjord (people's land), which has become common parlance in unofficial circles.
