==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name Haerdek comes from the Proto-Methic words ''hərtə, Land'' and ''təndə, Moose'', subsequently Haerdek literally means ''Land of Moose''. There are several hypotheses for the origin of this toponym. The most accepted one is the one that affirms that the first steady inhabitants of the territory founded the first city of the modern state in a location with a very dense population of moose (likely the south-central part of the Region of Chatek). Another theory affirms that moose were very important for the first settlers until Industrial Revolution, since they were an efficient mean of transport, that allowed goods and passengers to be transported to other cities, and also a source of food. Nowadays moose still have a great importance in Herdekian culture.

==Geography==
==Geography==
Herdek is a mostly mountainous land, with a mean elevation comprised between 500 and 1000 meters. Despite most areas are over 600m osl, many flat lands can be found, creating uplands where towns were built. Mountains higher than 1000 meters can be found on the eastern part of the country, along the [[Qgam]] border. There are two large plains to the nort-western part of the country, along the [country] border, and to the south-western part of the country, along the westernmost part of the [Country] border.<br />
There are many rivers in Herdek. The two main international rivers are [[Smaa River]], that borns on the easternmost part of the country and flows into the Woĝ Lake, and the [name] river. The main internal rivers are the [[Nîme River]], the [[Meda River]] and the [[Shuntive River]].

Herdek (Herdwate: Hêrdek, /ˈhɛɾdək/), known also as Harzendek (Herdwate: Harzêndek, /haɾ't͡sendək/), officially the Kingdom of Herdek (Herdwate: Hêrdkid Hêmme, /ˈhɛɾk:id 'hɛm:ə/), is a country located in western Miraria, on the shore of the Sea of Alpa. Its neighbors is Qgam to the north.

Etymology

The name Hêrdek comes from the Proto-Methic words hərtə, Land and təndə, Moose. Subsequently Hêrdek literally means Land of Moose. Several hypotheses have been made about the origin of the toponym. The most commonly accepted one is that the first steady inhabitants of the territory founded the first city of the modern country, probably in the south-central part of the modern Chatek, in a place with a very dense population of moose. Another theory affirms that moose were very important for Herdekians until Industrial Revolution, since they were an efficient mean of transport, that allowed goods and passengers to be transported to other cities, and were also a good source of food. Nowadays moose still have a great importance in Herdekian culture.
