| History: |
Ludovia has been born after massive immigrations from northern plains have arrived in the Ludovian peninsula several millennia ago thanks to the expansion of glaciers. The people that arrived here lived in relative peace and within unorthodox tribal structures that later developed in a rather typical feudal structure, however weakened by the formation of a Staya (Parlament), representing all social classes, an inherited value from the past. This in turn allow Ludovia to enter the revolutionary era ready to utilize Staya and extend upon it as to move past the need of lords or monarchs. A peaceful revolution allowed the installment of the Ludovian Republic, a faith-based Republic that argued no other but God can rule, with the monarch becoming purely a religious figure, nowadays though a secular figurehead. As for Ludovia, the nation never really embraced capitalism in full, instead reforming the feudal relations into socialist and federalist tendencies, reaching the modern times as a well off and prosperous nation. |

Ludovia is rather a rocky nation, vast and with various valleys and plateaus. Ludovia is part of a larger island, itself part of an icy archipelago. Being the most southern peak, Ludovia is located on a peninsula, with the northern lands featuring large mountain chains, myriad of vallleys and mountain passes, as well unique fauna and flora. Fjord like structures are rare but present on the shores. Down south, the terrain is rough, but more amenable to human life, featuring hills and crests. Shores here are warmer, allowing for naval bases and ports. |

Mt. Gav, 4,467 meters |
| Lowest Valley: |
Southern Plains, 68 meters |
| Climate: |
The climate of Ludovia is generally arctic and cold, akin to Subpolar and Continental moderate climates. In the north, winter dominates the landscape for 9 months out of 12, while the flora and fauna found here is sparse, formed of various taiga forests and few animals, such as the polar bear or arctic fox. Down south, toward the plains, taiga forests are ubiquitous. Here, the flora and fauna are varied, with the season cycle being relatively more balanced. The aurora borealis can be witnessed on the night sky fairly regular. |

| Economy |
| Description: |
Ludovia features a somewhat left-leaning economy, being modeled after a market socialist economy. Such model has been culturally developed, avoiding thus the need of violent revolution... or even political reform. Ludovians are known to be cooperating and work together within their community to ensure survival. The philosophical basis of such deep rooted sense of community stems from Christian values. With the development of capitalist models, a peaceful transition toward socialism was feasible. Tehnological advancement has allowed the Staya , made of various estates in a fair manner, to declare a liberal reform that lasted up to the present day. (Ludovian liberalism is radically different from the main branch) |
