Union State

The Union State, officially the Union State of Northwestern Talamor, is a country located in northwestern Talamor on the east of the River of Ravens and north of the Aephyr Mountains. It is the second largest economy on Talamor following behind Barenia and also the third largest country in the world by territorial land mass, despite a large amount of land the nation is home to 40,723,831 million people which is considered below average when compared to its colossal southern neighbor. The Union State borders Barenia to the south and X to the west along the river of crows and the Big Bull State having maritime borders with Barenia and X to its west. Unlike most other nations in Talamor, the Union State is immensely more authoritarian compared to the surrounding practicing an extreme form of social democracy and semi-dictatorial  that rule for an immense amount of time unbound by term limits. Its capital is Huxley which is the first settlement established, named after the famed father of the nation Admiral George Huxley but however, the largest city in the Union State is 5-Point City which is a massive trade and financial hub.

Founded during The Great Breakoff in 16XX by Rejuvenated Kauranists seeking refuge or were exiled by Saesland on the grounds of heresy, the refugees eventually landed on the western shores of Talamor after former Admiral Huxley lead his fleet of refugees to their new home following an immensely bright star that pierced the dark night like a shining white sword believed to be a reward for the Kauranists as they adhered to the true faith. After the first towns were established, the nation was officially formed and made to be free from the bureaucracy of the settler's homeland officially forming the Union State proper with Huxley as the first president ruling until his death. Soon the great migration begins as plentiful natural resources are discovered quickly overcrowding the nation and forcing it to expand north and east into native lands so as to care for its rapidly growing population better stopping east of the River of Ravens and the Big Bull Tribal Lands
