Rustheim is a sovereign archipelago nation located in the ██████████████, situated between Kovnia to the west and the massive █lmarka to the southeast. The state emerged formally in 2056 following a decisive secession from the █lmarkan Empire, driven by long-standing territorial disputes over the Borice Sea and its mineral resources. Historically part of the broader geopolitical sphere dominated by █lmarka, Rustheim's formation was accelerated by internal radical republican movements in southern provinces that chafed under conservative royalist pressures favoring continued economic integration with the wider ██████n community.
