Heimar, officially the United Kingdoms of Heimar (Heimarn: Konungariket Heimarr), is a federal monarchy. It includes 4 provinces and covers an area of () square kilometres ( sq mi) with a largely temperate seasonal climate, and a population of 44.76 million inhabitants. Its capital is PLACEHOLDER, and largest city is PLACEHOLDER. Heimar's terrain is largely varied. In central Heimar, there are the Korpergrosse mountains that extend from (Western ocean) into Weremark. On the northern side of the mountains are the large plains and farmland near the (western ocean) coast, and the dense Solarian forest to the west that extends into Aurora. In the south the (major river) runs from the base of the Korpergrosse in the Sumpfland Valley through the lower riverlands of PLACEHOLDER to the (western ocean) where it empties through the PLACEHOLDER delta.
The modern state of Heimar was founded in 750 CE by the Order of Heimarr, in what is now the province of PLACEHOLDER, by the Order of Heimar, a religious military order that previously ruled the Duchy of Heimar under Weremark. For centuries, the (first dynasty) ruled Heimar, successfully expanding its territory and influence with the spread of its religion and use of its exceptionally well organized army.
With the end of the Altberg Empire in the 13th century, most administration of the area fell under several clan leaders, who began competing for power over the land, beginning a period of near-constant war between the small states. Several large Clan-Kingdoms or "Clandoms" emerged from the period, including the "Clandoms" of Alemanning, Franung, Chatting, Zwickung, Frising, Cambring, and Thorung. Throughout the 13th and 14th centuries, the clans expanded to the west and settled most of the Solarian forest. Simultaneously, many of the clan-kingdoms were absorbed or conquered, forming larger more centralised ones.
In 1450, the Zwickung King Otto Hjálmarr I was crowned emperor and founded the United Kingdoms of Heimar. The Kingdoms were divided for a short time in 1762 during the War of Heimarn succession until it was reunified two years later. In 1775 war broke out between Heimar and Hawkwick, ultimately resulting in a Hawkwickan defeat in 1777, and Heimar gaining possession of the Stinpor colonies. In 1813, Branden (predecessor to what is now Wahland) declared their independence, gaining it officially after a short war with Heimar.
Not long after suffering a loss in the Branden war, Artstotszka invaded Solaria, quickly overwhelming Heimar through superior technology. The war ended in a peace treaty, and Solaria was ceded to Artstotszka, with Heimar gaining control of Zwitelgeist, a predominantly Artsotszkan trade and port city.
In 2014, Heimar became involved in the Hawkwickan civil war, initially backing the Hawkwickan National Freedom Assembly, or NFA. After the battle of New Altberg and Markus Albrecht's rise to the throne, Markus signed a treaty with Jorik Narheim, leader of a coup within HARM, creating the Altic Union. Heimar would become the leading state as Markus Albrecht was named King of the Union. In early 2015, the Altic Union invaded Vandinium following a terrorist attack on the Downtown Zwickau mall by Vandiniumite intelligence agents.
