Alluitguit

Alluitguit, officially the Commonwealth of Alluitguit,(Alluitguit'i: Kaalsiit Alluitguit), is a unitary constitutional parliamentary monarchy located in northern Larania. Alluitguit is bordered to the north by the Northern Ocean, to the east by the Nagansett Bay, to the south by Victoria, and to the west by the Gennet Ocean. The nation has a population of 2,958,525 people, and a land area of LAND AREA. The largest and capital city is Kapisilijaat, while others in the country include Nuvuk and Sitoyuk.

Alluitguit was likely first inhabited by humans in the 12,000s BCE according to archeologists. It is likely that this early population of peoples either migrated out of the region, or otherwise died off in the cold weather, as it is apparent that the country's territory largely became uninhabited once again between 11,500 BCE to 6100 BCE, where we have the first records of the I'qquuitauaan people migrating into the region, largely living off the country's extensive coastline for whaling purposes and fishing. The region would first be discovered by Avanoran powers, specifically the explorer Arfast Oström in 1762, and it was his expedition which first charted the northern territories of Larania - paving the way for the first settlement of Port Town in 1788 by a detachment of Gelenian and Nordic political exiles. Port Town would soon be abandoned, as the new settlers established a joint colony with the native peoples of the region, and in 1784, Kapisilijaat was founded. Port Town soon became Nuvuk, and became a secondary port in the region, and with the discovery of gold and silver in Alluitguit's interior, the city of Kapisilijaat and Nuvuk exploded throughout the early 1800s. As the 1815-1820 Gold Rush ended in Alluitguit, many of the families who had arrived in the region founded homes and settlements, and established a permanent population in the region. In 1823, the region was officially recognized as the first Nordic colony abroad, and it drew political dissidents and social outcasts from the homeland to the region. As industrialization began, the region became a major exporter of goods to fuel the Nordic economy. The country's population exploded between 1825 and 1840, gaining a million people in this period. The country remained neutral during the Great War, and soon became independent following the end of the war. The country remained a poor backwater during the first decade of the 1880s, though this began to change with the discovery of oil, which allowed the government to bring in large tax revenues and invest in heavy industry. The nation became an active member of the Laranian political sphere, exporting its energy materials to the continent and the eastern world throughout the 1890s.

Alluitguit is an advanced first world economy which is heavily based on resource extraction, fisheries, and tourism. The country's oil fields provide Larania with much of its oil reserves, though in recent years, mining, financial services, small and medium size enterprise start ups, and mining have taken over as the largest producers of economic revenue. Alluitguit's constitution establishes the nation as a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government. The constitution enshrines extensive basic human rights into law, while several international agreements also hold the government to account. The nation's democracy has been ranked as completely free, and the nation has one of the most non-corrupt governments on the planet, according to the World Development Organization. The nation is a vital player in northern Larania, with its oil reserves and precious metal deposits, though the nation remains sparsely populated. Despite this, the nation's high standards of living and thriving economy have led to its economic development being dubbed the Northern Miracle.

Prehistory
Alluitguit was likely first inhabited by humans in the 12,000s BCE according to archeologists. It is likely that this early population of peoples either migrated out of the region, or otherwise died off in the cold weather, as it is apparent that the country's territory largely became uninhabited once again between 11,500 BCE to 6100 BCE, where we have the first records of the I'qquuituaan people migrating into the region, largely living off the country's extensive coastline for whaling purposes and fishing.

It is unclear what originally drew the I'qquuituaan people to the region. Some scholars have speculated that they originally inhabited the regions known today as Northwest Larania and Victoria before being pushed northwards through battles with other native Laranian peoples. Other scholars believe that the I'qquuituaan people migrated into the region following large game such as moose, deer, fish, and whales, which constituted a huge majority of their traditional food source.

Unlike other areas of Larania, the hostile climate of Alluitguit led to the region being sparsely populated, and the lack of fertile land meant that the region remained uncontested by the I'qquuituaan people, remaining a homogenous and rural area throughout most of history. The area would soon be discovered by a series of people, mainly Gelenian, Caliantene, and Nordic sailors.

Discovery and Colonization
As Avanoran people migrated to the Laranian continent in search of land, riches, and adventure, native groups had fallen under the rule of Avanoran monarchies through colonization. Moving westwards, Alluitguit was shielded from early Avanoran colonization, and it would not be until 1762 when the first Avanoran, the Nordic explorer Arfast Oström, sailed his ship across the Nagansett Bay and discovered the southern coast of Alluitguit. His 1762 expedition provided Avanoran powers with the first completely charted map of the Laranian north, and gave tales of a land of cold and pines, with pristine natural beauty. Following his tales, a contingent of Nordic settlers - mainly made up of political and social dissidents,
