Climate
Of course with an area the size of Sharya, it is difficult to describe the climate and weather except that summers are warm to hot, and winters get very cold in some areas. In general, the climate of Sharya can be described as highly continental influenced climate with warm to hot dry summers and very cold winters with temperatures of -30°C (-22ºF) and lower, and sometimes heavy snowfall. The winds from the north and northeast sometimes bring freezing cold temperatures and snowstorms.
The mildest areas are along the Sharya Sea coast. The Summer is mostly dry and sunny there, sunshine may be nine hours a day, with local showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. As almost everywhere in Sharya, winters can be very cold with frost and snowfall, the first snow often falls in early October. Spring and Autumn can be quite erratic, sometimes it's common to get frequent rain- or snowfall and strong winds during those months.
The average winter temperature is about -20°C (-4ºF). Colder snaps are not uncommon as mentioned above. It sometimes may reach -40°C (-40ºF), but winter chills are compensated for by splendid summers. The capital usually enjoys 20-25°C (68-77ºF) during summer.
History

185-191 NE: The first humans arrive in the territory of modern Sharya. They come from the east. They were nomadic hunters and had not form stable settlements before, but once the climate starts to become warmer in that region the inhabitants of what is now Sharya travel less and engaged in localized hunting, gathering and fresh-water fishing. As the warmer climate means the native fauna don’t travel as far. No contact was made with the other established nations at this time.
340-370 NE: The Rise of the Southern Sharya Kingdom. Local tribes and clans in southwest Sharya near the central border of Lichtenau start to gather together into a single power. Constructing the first ever permanent settlement in Sharya, this power set on a campaign of assimilation. Using either diplomacy, political marriages, conquest, or subjugation, the power expands further and creates the first ever kingdom in Sharya, which would come to be known locally generations later as the Southern Sharya Kingdom due to where it was initially located. In time this kingdom would fill the area in Sharya that includes the entire border between Lichtenau and Sharya, the westernmost end of the northern border of Charkhi Dadri and Sharya, and the southernmost border between Sharya and Nassau.
383-385 NE: The New Eastern Wars. The Southern Sharya Kingdom attacks Nassau, and the Charkhi Dadri in eastern Lichtenau, and northern Charkhi Dadri. Already facing the combined forces of all the Olometist nations, this new threat quickly forces Charkhi Dadri to withdraw from Lichtenau and also forces them to withdraw from the northern regions of their own lands. Likewise the Olometist nations shift their focus to confront this new threat in Lichtenau and Nassau. By 385 NE the forces of the Southern Sharya Kingdom are pushed back into their own territory by the combined forces of Olometists. Fortresses are set up by the Olometists to secure the borders of Nassau and Lichtenau and hold it with frequent patrols and quick responses against Southern Sharya incursions. The northeast corner of Charkhi Dadri falls under Southern Sharya control. The remaining lands are able to be securely held for the time being by the Charkhi Dadri in a way similar to how the eastern borders of Nassau and Lichtenau are held by the Olometist nations.
395-398 NE: Several expeditions of Roussel Olometist priests cross the border from Nassau and Lichtenau into the Southern Sharya Kingdom in an effort to end hostilities through conversion, or at least diplomacy. These expeditions are captured, tortured for information, and ultimately killed when it is learned they were sent to try and convert the Southern Sharya Kingdom. The same happens a year later when military expeditions start to be sent instead of priests.
400 NE: Forces from the Southern Sharya Kingdom attempting to gain entry into the lands of Nassau and Lichtenau decrease, as the Southern Sharya shift their focus to the weaker Charkhi Dadri forces.
405-425 NE: The Dadri-Sharya Campaigns. This twenty year period marks the efforts of Charkhi Dadri reclaiming what they lost to the Southern Sharya Kingdom during the New Eastern Wars. A series of military campaigns moving from periods of war and peace and back again. Charkhi Dadri eventually is able to reclaim their original territory and secure their northern border against the Southern Sharya in a way similar to how the eastern borders of Nassau and Lichtenau are secured by the Olometists.
430-445 NE: Rise of the Northern Sharya Kingdom. A new power rises in the northern regions of Sharya. Through assimilation, subjugation, and conquest the second kingdom of Sharya is founded, known later as the Northern Sharya Kingdom by scholars who specialize in the history of Sharya. The Northern Sharya Kingdom never has any contact with the Southern Sharya Kingdom and believes themselves to be the first ever kingdom in what is today Sharya. Claiming territory from the northeasternmost tip of the northern border of Nassau, continuing to the northwest to the coast of the Sharya Sea and including the entire border between Sharya and Salaspils.
450-455 NE: The Northern Sharya Kingdom declares open war on Salaspils, believing them to be a foreign power with a lot of land for them to conquer, which proves mostly true. The Northern Sharya Kingdom s able to quickly take territory which includes the what can be seen today as the two 'rounded edges' of Salapils' eastern border. Believing this is as far west as Salaspils expands, and leaving Salaspils to work on new strategies to combat the new hyper-aggressive threat from the east, the Northern Sharya Kingdom turns their sights southwards.
455-460 NE: Known to the Olometist nations as the Second Sharya War. Forces from the Northern Sharya Kingdom claims a foothold in northern Nassau, the attack came from Salaspils. From this initial foothold Northern Sharya forces begin a campaign of conquest through the rest of northern Nassau. Olometist forces respond quickly, over the course of the following five years borders shift back and forth, Northern Sharya forces claiming up to the northern half of Nassau during their most successful push. The war comes to an end when Olometist forces move into the lands of the Northern Sharya Kingdom, conquering all the lands of the Northern Sharya Kingdom, and claiming it as their own. The Northern Sharya Kingdom ceases to exist.
461-463 NE: Counter-attacks from holdouts of the Northern Sharya Kingdom, though they are little different from tribal peoples by this point. With help from the bitterly cold climate the lands claimed during the Second Sharya War are lost to the Olometists, as they fully withdraw from Sharya lands.

Government
A principality (or princedom) can either be a monarchical feudatory or a sovereign state, ruled or reigned over by a monarch with the title of prince or by a monarch with another title within the generic use of the term prince. Sharya is a sovereign and independent state ruled by the Grand Prince. The principle of government is a hereditary and constitutional monarchy. A constitutional monarchy refers to a system in which the monarch acts as a political head of state under the Book of Laws, written and accepted by the Grand Council.
The Grand Council is the highest power in this country. The members of the Council are usually chosen by the Grand Prince. The grand Prince's position is inherited by the male primogeniture order of succession. The monarch's eldest son and his descendants take precedence over his siblings and their descendants. Elder sons take precedence over younger sons, but all sons take precedence over all daughters. Children represent their deceased ancestors, and the senior line of descent always takes precedence over the junior line, within each gender. The right of succession belongs to the eldest son of the reigning sovereign, and then to the eldest son of the eldest son.
