Volkia (Volkian: Волкия), officially the Volkian Federative Republic (Volkian: Волжская Федеративная Республика), is a country situated on the western part of the continent of Itur, with a population of approximately 76 million as of 2018. Volkgoroda is the capital and largest city, followed by Mahigorod.
Volkia is located on the entirety of the western half of the continent of Itur, and shares a land border with South Hills to the northeast. The Mahigan Sea lies to the north, the Iturian Sea to the southwest, and the Gulf of Itur to the south. Volkia includes 16 constituent states that span across an area of 539,268 square miles (1,396,700 sq km) with a largely boreal climate. The southern parts of the country are largely hemiboreal while the northern parts of the country show characteristics of hemiboreal, boreal, and tundra climates.
Various lupine tribes have inhabited the central and northern parts of modern Volkia since antiquity. A region named Volkia was documented in about 200 AD. Lupines began migrating south and eastward around 250-300 AD. The current capital and largest city, Volkgoroda, was founded during these migrations. By the 4th Century, lupine territories had come together to form the Grand Principality of Volkgoroda. Volkgoroda continued to expand militarily and economically, eventually declaring the Duchy of Volkia in 1154. The Kingdom of Volkia rose in 1578 following territorial acquisitions and growing dominance on the continent. The Lupine revolutions of 1884-1886 led to significant democratic rights.
The kingdom fell in 1886 and was replaced briefly with a confederation of the former states of the kingdom. Outside threats convinced state leaders to reevaluate the relationship between the states. A federal government would end up replacing the weak confederation in 1888.
