Sorteic, officially the Sortein Confederation, is a sovereign state in western Ekuosia. It consists of 52 'cantons', those being divided between the Sortecjan zone, the Lestzi zone (including a Western and Southern sub-zone) and the Tiénndu zone, itself made up of three non-contiguous cantons, with the seat of federal authorities being Káragur, located within the Sortecjan-zone canton of the same name. This federal republic is bordered by Kedros and Letzia to the west, the Algazi Union to the south, and Azerin and the Cermani autonomous territory of Utol to the east. Sorteic is a landlocked country centred on the Koklates mountain range, though lowland regions exist alongside the mountainous main bulk of the country, such as the lakes region and the Lestzi lowlands. The largest cities are located in the lowland regions, as well as a small number within the valleys of the Koklates range.
The region that now comprises Sorteic was natively controlled by the ancient Tiénndu tribe of Sórhtéicid. It was invaded by numerous empires in history, most notably the Letsatian and the Terminian empires. After gaining independence from the Terminian Empire, an empire which notably left behind a large Terminian population, which would over time evolve into the modern Sortecjan people, the Sortein cantons gained their individual independence. However, an increase in Letzian influence caused many Lestzian people to emmigrate to the numerous cantons, between which movement was relatively easy thanks to the close cultural and diplomatic ties. Eventually, numerous southern cantons became Lestzian-majority, as well as numerous new cantons being formed. The Sortein Confederacy was officially founded in 1682 as a loose union between the various cantons.
