Medtremar

Medtremar, officially the State of Medtremar is an integrated state of the United Socialist States of Eldham.

It was initially founded as the People's Republic of Medtremar, which became an autonomous state of the USSE shortly thereafter for their related Xeroist ideology. In April of 2023, the state became a standard integrated state within the USSE. The state is mostly populated by the Mari people, which primarily speak the Mari language and its several dialects.

Prior to foundation
Prior to the contemporary creation of nations like Kaladinia, Xeka, and Liberum, modern Medtremar largely was populated by maritime nomads who had dotted settlements across Northern Serrona. The ethnic group is collectively called the Mari today, a part of where the name 'Medtremar' derives from.

Things would change rapidly with the Rathnirian discovery of Eldham. The first nation to colonize the area and make a formal state or colony of any kind in Northern Lausá was the Grand Union of Sørgliste, who created a colony named the Grand Colony of Xeka shortly after Eldham's discovery by Rathnirians. The colony was soon sold to Tortuga, before Xeka became independent as the Grand Republic of Xeka.

Other nations like Liberum and Kaladinia would soon be established as well in Serrona along the coastlines. Ambrosia would soon also be founded. All had at least friendly relations with the USSE, and in the case of some nations like the People's Republic of Kaladinia and Socialist Liberum, were close allies due to their combined Xeroist beliefs.

Autonomous state
Before the creation of Medtremar, there were four independent states including the likes of Kaladinia, Xeka, Liberum, and Ambrosia. All were quite weak on their own and that region of Serrona at the time was arguably the most inactive. As such, the Socialist Union of Medtremar, eventually renamed the People's Republic of Medtremar, was founded on January 26th, 2022 in an effort to unite Northern Lausá in the event of Barbossan invasion, fears of which were surplus.

Several days after Medtremar's formation, Barbossa and the USSE went to war in a series of conflicts known today as the Red Wars. Barbossa would come out victorious as a consequence of their strong mercenaries and would forcefully annex territory from the USSE. Due to Medtremar's involvement in the war, a large amount of Medtremari land would be conquered by Barbossa; the land ultimately coming under the power of a group known as the Vrijmasten Raden.

The Medtremari land that was conquered by Barbossa and eventually reunited with the USSE was known as Andrimar. Today however, the term 'Andrimar' refers exclusively to former Medtremari and USSE land on the continent of Leifmyrr, namely the Sylvanian province of Andrimar. As such, modern Medtremari land such as Kaladinia is sometimes called Andrimar which it was formerly a part of despite being a part of Serrona.

Integration into the USSE
in April of 2023, the People's Republic of Medtremar was dissolved as the autonomous state joined the USSE as an integrated state. It then became the State of Medtremar.
