The Hiarllii Federation, often shortened to Hiarlliia, is a nation situated on the Tsars Folly Peninsula in Southeastern Syltor. It is primarily inhabited by Hiarllii, Dune Elves and the Gehirnites, who immigrated to Tsars Folly during the reign of Ganeff. It is divided into 8 Provinces, its capital is Chichiltik, the former Capital of the Huitca Imperium which is also its largest city, and Tahat as the governing and tourism district within the city.

Hiarlliia is a proud member state of Nandór-Lukkawa, which it shares its only border with in the West, and N-L's others member states of Ashura and Alda-Vanyr.

Etymology
This land has been known by many things by many peoples throughout its history. Most of which, all have a common origin. That origin being the now extinct Snydic peoples, ancestors to the Snydii.

The Snydic peoples spoke a language creatively named "Old Snydic", of Nieden Origin. They referred to the land their village sat on as "Sneedistan" deriving from the Old Snydic Words for "People"; "Sneed", and "Land", "Istan".

Colonization to Liberty - From Sneed to Snydii
Around December 8th 2020, Old Snydic people came in contact with Ryzani colonists who claimed their land as part of the "Province of Alum". This initial interaction with people from individuals outside of their linguistic group led to many borrowed words of Ryzani origin to seep their way into the Snydic tounge. including the suffix "ia", meaning "land of", which became more wildly used over the Snydic suffix of the same meaning.

The annexation of Alum into the Huitca Federation only amplified the rapid change of the Snydic Language. This foreign influence would continue until the formation of the Cornflower Republic in March of 2021, where the Sneeds opted to rename themselves to make a new era in their history; from Sneed to Snydii.

Modern Name
The modern term for the nation "Snydiia", is simply the name of the modern interpretation of the original name for the land. "The Home of our People".

Provinces and Territories

Capital Province of Snydiia
Chichiltik, the Capital of the Federation, and the former capital of the failed Huitca Imperium under Rex Fernand. It is the largest province by land area, and is home to the Nations central Bank, Embassies, and Parliament. The city has incredible nightlife despite still being under heavy construction, and is well known for the Zelorm Market, an incredible hub for food from all of the Phagosian Sea.

The Tahat District is just north of the capital city, and is well known for Fort Tahat, built during the Huitca Coup by Rex Fernand. It served as a fortress to protect the peninsula from the Huitca invasion that never came. It remains a large centre of Tourism for the nation, and has been left virtually in the same state as it was the day it was founded. The rest of the district is used for governing and to house giftshops and games for the tourists visiting the infamous fort.

Ganeffstan, Home of Old Fort Ganeff, former colonial fortress when Sneedistan was a mere colony to The Niedenes, and current home of the Snydii Imperial Family. Fort Ganeff, while being a National Historic Site, is being used as a way to preserve the legacy of Ganeff and all those that came before.

Province of Alum
Known as The Hope Province, this is the place where the last Sneed Cornflower was found which was around when the Snydii Federation was founded. Alum is still largely under construction, but it will likely hold the largest port in the nation upon completion.

Province of Gehirn

Province of New Viridia
New Viridia is a small peninsula next to Sil'rae and Greenhaven of Ashura. The only town there is called New Jadetown which is still being constructed. The name Viridia comes from the old Huitcan state of North Viridian and the old nation of Viridian which controlled the area at the time.
