Your Holiness,

As the Grand Duke of Nordmar, I'd like to hereby invite you to visit our country. As far as we're not a Catholic country, the not-so-small Christian majority would be more than happy to see you. Moreover, it would be a great opportunity to make closer relations between our countries. The last thing Nordmar needs right now are enemies.

If Your Holiness is occupied or cannot visit us for any reason, I'll lead the delegation to Celestis at a date suitable for Your Holiness.

With deepest regards

Jalmari II
Grand Duke of Nordmar

Nomadic northern tribes of Cotf Aranye, originating from the coast of Rodinian Sea, migrated south-west, to the coast Krimeon Sea, eventually settling down east of Peniche Bay. Tribes became more organized, eventually uniting themselves under the rule of the legendary first chief of Nordmarian people, Miika. In one point of its history, the tribal country of Nordmarians became subjugated by ... Empire. Because of being loyal to the Emperor, and not causing trouble, Nordmar was granted a fair share of autonomy within the Empire. The period from the subjugation to around 1000AD was calm, without major events in Nordmar. But when the Empire went into pieces, Nordmar proclaimed its independence. Weakened by having to become self-sustainable, Nordmar tried to stay as neutral as possible, building its agricultural and economical potential from nothing throughout the Middle Ages. Reaching the Age of Reason, the democratic and liberal thoughts became quite loud in Nordmarian politics. After series of demonstrations in major cities of Nordmar, the most violent one occuring in Loihava itself (Uprising of March 1863), Grand Duke Antti IV agreed to form the first parliament, which first task was to write a constitution. After 6 months of hard work, the Nordmarian Parliament (nord. Nordmaralainen Eduskunta) ratified the Constitution of the Grand Duchy of Nordmar. It transformed the country into a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral parliament. Nordmar is one of the few countries, in which the constitution is the same from the beginning, and it stayed in the same shape to this day.
