Nuskijan, officially the Kingdom of Nuskijan is a country in the Greater Dienstad region. The sovereign state is comprised of five semi-independent royal houses each headed by a Lower King, with one house providing the High King via a complex line of succession and ascension. With an area of 1.6 million square miles, Nuskijan is one of the larger nation states in the Greater Dienstad region. The capital and largest city, Asosas, is located in western Nuskijan and contains over 1 million citizens. The second-largest city is Port Yita, which is located on the northern coast of Nuskijan.
Nuskijan had been continuously inhabited by various tribes and groups of nomadic peoples since the early Bronze Age, until colonization by white settlers. A systemic genocide campaign beginning in the 9th Century wiped out nearly all native peoples, and today few people of native Nuskijani heritage remain. Nuskijan is notable for never having been permanently occupied or subordinated to a larger nation. The first kingdoms were established in the 11th century, but were not unified until 1681 with the Five Houses Accord. Various invasions of surrounding free peoples are recorded, particularly in the 9th, 10th, and 14th centuries.
Nuskijan became a unified kingdom in 1681. 23 Years later in 1704, a constitution was adopted that governed the complex and unique ascension system and ranking of the five houses. The House of Ilhamy rose to power in 1894 with Ilhamy II. The line of succession has produced a further five High Kings from the house. Borders that had existed since 1681 were formalized in 1704, but were subsequently redrawn in the early 20th Century as transportation advances and wide-scale industrialization necessitated a redistribution of land to the five houses.
Nuskijan is officially a monotheistic deist state without official religion. The government publicly acknowledges the existence of a god but does not follow any established canonical version of events. More than 70% of citizens are deists without denomination (DWD).

Etymology
The name Nuskijan is a compound word referring to the Nusk River, so named in 1430, and named by Thomas Jan. Thomas Jan settled on the northern Nusk River valley, and over time, the name began to refer to the watershed as a whole. Upon unification, the newly unified kingdom used the word to refer to the greater nation due to the importance of the river. This was confirmed and incorporated into the Constitution of 1704 and began to see widespread use after each of the five houses' lands were subordinated to the High King and wider government.
