Elduvy

Elduvy, officially Region of Elduvy (Malboryan: Belj a Elduvy), nicknamed The Northern Star, is one of 11 regions, consisting of 4 provinces and 14 districts. It is considered to be the northernmost region of Malborya, though the northernmost point of the country is in Rosetta, which Elduvy borders to the west. It also shares a border with Rupestry to the south and the country of Czech Slavia to the north. Verailce is the capital city, as well as the biggest city in the region. The population was 566 thousand as of August 2020, making Elduvy the smallest region by population.

Despite its small size, the region has an intense history. After The Czech Rebellion, the region was occupied by Czech Slavia until 1946 after The War for Elduvy, when it was given back to Malborya. The region was infamous for atrocities against Malboryans under Czech occupation. Second Malboryan Republic chose to remain indifferent on this situation, which lead to its tragic demise. Drava Centreo riled up the Malboryan folk, made a coup d'etat, which estabilished the Democratic State of Malborya.

Centreo declared war on Czech Slavia in 19th of March, 1945, effectively taking the entire South Bohemian Region and Elduvy, coming close to the capital city of Prague until The Union of Nicoleizian Socialist Republics joined the war, turning the tables in Czech Slavia's favour. This lead to the modern-day Czech-Malboryan border, with original Elduvy being split into two parts. This split is represented in the flag, with blue part representing Czech Slavia, and red part representing Malborya, with a golden wave acting as a border, separating the two colours. The white star represents Elduvy itself.

In Third Malboryan Republic times, the region, especially the town of Dominique (then called Natalia) was a hotspot for the Inquistan elite due to its unpopularity and safety.

Modern day Elduvy is a lot smaller than Old Elduvy. The northern part that is across the current Czech-Malboryan border, called North Elduvy or Czech Elduvy (Malboryan: Nord Elduvy or Casu Elduvy) was merged with South Bohemian Region. Western half of the region was taken by Rosetta after a referendum held in 1980. A small portion to the south was sold to Rupestry in 1985, citing financial reasons.

Tourism is the biggest industry, with lumber and manufacturing completing the top three. Elduvy makes up only one percent of the GDP. The only region with a smaller percent is St. Andrea, which makes up 0,5% of the GDP. Elduvy is the most irreligious region in the nation, with only 8% of adults claiming regular attendance to a place of worship. [1 ] Elduvy is fairly liberal politically, being the second region to start performing same-sex marriages in 2013, after Malbory, which did so in 2009. Elduvy has the most strict term limits, letting its governors only serve for one term of four years in a lifetime.
