The Kingdom of Ottania was a nation on the east coast of North America.
Geography[]
Ottania is primarily dominated by mountains. It consists of most of portions of the former Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
History[]
Caitlin, Monarch of Disparu, via whom future Ottanian Kings would derive their authority.
Disparu, a successor state to Canada dissolved due to a referendum movement proposed by Lamont de Solidor. Disparu territory was administered by Pravus Inguro. Pravus Inguro later collapsed in 2045, leading to the creation of New Quebec and the North American Commonwealth.
King Albert, first King of Ottania
New Quebec collapsed in 2080 after the Grand Mexican War. In 2086, the Darach family used their wealth to secure the city of Ottawa. The new city grew strong and Albert Darach declared himself king of Ottania. In 2113, Ottania contested for the city of Montreal with Vermont and Quebec. Ottania was victorious in this matter primarily due to assistance received by J Andres. King Justin secured this assistance by agreeing to marry his daughter, Princess Maisie to the new King of J Andres Phillippe II. The heir apparent, Prince Louis would also marry a J Andres noble, Lady Isidora of Katherine.

King Louis, King of Ottania during the wars with Quebec and Vermont
Ottania would go to war with its neighbors twice in the 2120s and 2130s. Both times, King Louis was able to use the growing bond between the royal families of Ottania and J Andres to enlist J Andres on the Ottanian side. In the first war, the Vermont Republic was defeated and J Andres captured the territory. In the second war, the Quebec Republic was defeated and Ottania captured the territory, fulfilling the Ottanian goal of reclaiming the former Disparuean capital and territory.
The monarchy's grip on power was waning in the 2160s and 2170s, leading to revolution. In 2178, King Mathieu made an agreement for the Augustine Empire to annex the territory[1] and he to remain its leader as a Duke within the Empire. This arrangement was short lived, as when Emperor Marshall Augustus died in 2181, part of a ceasefire deal between J Andres and the Empire was that the Ottanian territory be turned back over to its people. The Augustine Empire continued to administer the territory until December 31, 2183. At midnight in 2184, the territory became self-governing as Laurentia.
