Forzengräv

The Kingdom of Forzengräv (pron: Fort-Sen-Gray-Uv) is a nation that makes up the central-southern region of Wheründia. Forzengräv is unique due to its everlasting success in the use of an elective monarchy system of government. To the west of Forzengräv is the continent of Bryuland, while the Dionysian Sea lies to the south, the nation of Henahvir to the north, and the nation of Heidesbern to the northeast. Forzengräv is known as a "forest nation" due to having nearly 90% of its area being covered in forest. Just behind Henahvir, Forzengräv is the second largest of the three nations of Wheründia, being just slightly larger in land area than Heidesbern. The city of Hunderschön has always been both the nation's largest city in terms of population and the capital of the government.

Forzengräv was first established as a nation by the Forzenites around the year 15. Although it was originally not recognized as a proper nation by its neighboring states due to its vastly small population, Forzengräv soon cleared some areas of forest and established its two largest cities - Hunderschön and Lone Oak. Originally, Forzengräv was led by a self-appointed chieftain of an unknown name. After the original chieftain's death, the citizens of Forzengräv decided to convert their nation into a more civilized state under an elective monarchy, and held its first election for a king and queen, with the winners being King Aldenhein I and Queen Brightenbel.
