Aqizithiuda Triggthiuda (nation name)/the Wesi (demonym)
Government: Elective monarchy
Alliance: formerly NACO, but transitioning to the Kursk Concords.
Overview: an alliance of Goths and Sarmatians who were forced by the Huns and Romans to flee to Scandinavia, where they displaced the Vikings and then started formed an Empire that rivalled the Franks. Over the years, the empire has waxed and waned, consisting of most of Puzikas and west Europe prior to WW2. As a result of Hitler fucking up down in Germany - which was essentially it's own country at the time - and the reintroduction of human sacrifices, they lost the war, and only a hasty surrender to Cordian/Emmerian forces saved it from annihilation by the Soviets.
Following the war, paganism was banned and the various priesthoods disbanded. The Cult of Woþin objected and lead an insurgency that lasted until 2005, about ten years after the legalisation of paganism. Triggthiuda has stabilised since then, and now looks to it's neighbour Puzikas for an alliance, but former Wesi insurgents still find their way into the bloodiest and most brutal conflicts around the world.
Fun Facts: Triggthiuda had a modern level of gender equality by 1800, although women have been mostly equal since before the Renaissance, and developed the first general issue assault rifle in 1895. They are also the only nation to officially give hallucinogenic drugs to select troops in order to cause rage, lack of pain and a desire to kill people. These berserkers have been used since at least 600 AD.
