Astorian Confederacy

The Astorian Confederacy or Astorian Triumvirate, normally Astoria for short, is a nation located in North America. The nation is a result of the Norse colony of Vinland, instead of failing like many expected, became an unprecedented success, which attracted more and more settlers of Norse and other origins. As it expanded westwards during the next centuries, the colony is called Ásþora (anglicized Asthora) after the name of a ruler of the colony. The name, after hundreds of years of development in the Astorian language and loss in translation and documents, the name is changed into Astoria.
