It covers an area of 303,158 square kilometres and is inhabitated by approximately 17,280,029 inhabitants. It is composed of ten regions (Бүс нутаг), one of which is Wedse Capital, Wedse’s capital and its largest city. It is bordered by [[Pohunskia]] to the north, [[Suuher]] to the northwest, [[Hikyoto]] to the southeast, [[Yeukiwan]] to the south and [[Katsyria]] to the west. Wedsen is the country's official language.
==History==
Line 247:
In January of 2020, The Wedsen Government decided to take a different approach to their military. The slogan ‘Bigger Is Better’ was published all around the country, as a form of propaganda and advertisement. The aim was to encourage as many people as possible to join the Wedsen Army. The first two months of advertising proved to be a success, as over 22,000 people across the country signed up for the army. All this happened just before the [[2020 Wedsen offensive into Eastern Yster]]. 28th of February 2020 was the key event during this inflow of Military personnel. Over 300 Military vehicles were imported from Fordia, with a permanent contract signed by the Armed forces of Wedse.

===Climate===

Line 290:
Wedse is high, cold and windy in the North, west and central part of the country. It has an extreme continental climate with long, cold winters and hot summers, during which most of its annual precipitation falls. Precipitation is highest in the north and along the border with [[Katsyria]](average of 200 to 350 millimeters (8 to 14 in) per year) and lowest in the south and east, which receives 100 to 200 millimeters (4 to 8 in) annually.

===Wildlife===
The name "Tsöl" is a Wedsen term for a desert steppe, which usually refers to a category of arid rangeland with insufficient vegetation to support marmots but with enough to support camels. Wedsens distinguish Tsöl from desert proper, although the distinction is not always apparent to outsiders unfamiliar with the Wedsen landscape. The Tsöl rangelands are usually quite fragile and easily damageable due to the use of overgrazing heaving common within the country. This causes not even the Camels to survive in these counditions. The arid conditions in the Tsöl are attributed to the rain shadow effect caused by the Sugndatchi Mountains.
===Flora===
Wedsen flora has remained undisturbed for centuries, in areas of pristine vegetetion, often the last of its kind in the world of Fantasia. The Wedsen steppe is unsurpassed as an open pastureland and various types of grasses thrive on different ground and landscape conditions – from mountain to meadow steppe. There are many different types of steppe – generally named after the geographical terrain or a predominant plant species. Formations and colonies of plants live in harmony with the soil and climate, where the only danger apart from the severe climate is from natural forest fires or desertification. Certain plants like peonies thrive in shady or cool places, while others, like saxifrage, like to live on dry slopes exposed to the parching wind and powerful sun.
==Demographics==
Wedse’s total population as of January 2021 is to be 17,280,029 people, ranking around 48th in the world of Fantasia. There are estimates made by the Wedsen National Statistical Office that show Wedse’s population growth rate is estimated at 1.2% (2018 est.). About 62% of the total population is under age 30, 34% of whom are under 14. This relatively young and growing population has placed strains on Wedse's economy, however this recovered quickly due to the new findings of oil within the countries borders.
The first census in the 21st century was carried out in 2020 and recorded a population of 17,280,029.Since the beginning of socialism, Wedse has experienced an increase of total fertility rate (children per woman) that is steeper than in any other country in the world, according to recent WNSO estimations: in 1980–1985, fertility was estimated to be 2.4 children per woman, rising to about 7.4 in 2000–2005. This has continued and is expected to level off in the mid 2030’s, depending on the political status of the country.
Ethnic Wedsens account for about 92% of the population and consist of Mashgals and other groups, all distinguished primarily by dialects of the Wedsen language, and the isolate [[Mashgal]] language, heavily used in the [[Chuluulag]] region. The Mashgal make up 13% of the ethnic Wedsen population. The remaining 87% include primarily Wedsen people. Flírsk people constitute 3.5% of Wedse’s population, and the rest are Lakadamian, Neocastrian, Katsyrian and many more smaller populated nationalities.

===Languages===
The official language of Wedse is Wedsen, and is spoken by 98% of the population, as well as Koran which makes up another 90%. A variety of dialects of Wedsen and Koran are spoken across the country, and there are also some speakers of Old Wedsen. In the west of the country, [[Mashgal]] is heavily used , specifically in Chuluulag and some parts of Zakhiral. In these regions, over 84% of the population are fluent, with Wedsen acting as their second language.
Today, Wedsen is written using the Wedsen alphabet in Wedse, and Koran the Koran alphabet, although in the past Wedsen was written using the Old Wedse script. An official reintroduction of the old script was planned for 2021, but has not taken place as older generations encountered practical difficulties. Schools have been in discussion to reinstate the old alphabet, for the future generations to come. However, talks have been slow and there have been many disadvantages of enforcing this into society.
Flírsk is the most frequently spoken foreign language in Wedse, followed by Everish, although Everish isn’t an official language of Wedse. It is believed about 70-80% of the population in Wedse can speak Flírsk to a good degree, whereas English speakers in the country are estimated to be around 40%. In total, some thousands of Wedsen citizens are fluent in at least 4 languages, which has been helped by the high education system within the country. Lakadamian is the main foreign language choice for students in education, with over 86% of students aged 9-19 being able to speak Lakadamian to a good level. All these figures are likely to increase in the future as Wedse strives to become a more multilingual country.
