Candanadium (Kanadiaans: Kandanadium), Officially the Kingdom of Candanadium (Kanadiaans: Königreich Kandanadium), is a Kingdom in Great Kaltachia with one province in the Orient. It is home to a population of around 122 million Candanadians, most of which are from Kanadiaans or Oseanian descent, though it is also home to ethnic minorities such as the Trefjalli and the Caskaans, as well as a large Akarean immigrant community. Candanadium is bordered on the north by the Sea of the Cape, on the south by Kreyermark and Alpenraum, on the east by Varskhomir and on the west by Trefjall. Candanadium also shares maritime borders with Hykko and the Akarean Union through the province of Hautsing. Candanadium comprises seven provinces (Candanadian Capital Region, Fischerstaat, the Westmark, Oseania, the Northern Cape, Eisenstaat, and Hautsing) and two autonomous regions (Belkhomir and Caskhomir). Candanadium, alongside its two autonomous regions, is a member of the Kaltach Union and a signatory to the Candanadian-Trefjalli Mutual Defence, Freedom of Movement, and Free Trade Agreement. Candanadium and its two autonomous regions are represented collectively in the World Congress as the Kingdom of Candanadium.
For most of Candanadium's history, what is currently modern-day Candanadium existed as several independent states. They include the Kingdom of Magnarstaat (Candanadian Capital Region and parts of Fischerstaat and Westland), the Kingdom of Fischerstaat (Fischerstaat), the Trefjalli Kingdom of the Westland and the Cape (Westmark and the Northern Cape), the Republic of Caskhomir (Caskhomir), the Kingdom of Oseania (Oseania), the Duchy of Eisenstaat (Eisenstaat), and the Kingdom of Belkhomir (Belkhomir). The Kingdom of Candanadium was created in 1783, as part of the Enlightenment in Great Kaltachia, when the kings of Magnarstaat and Fischerstaat joined their lands as a reaction to popular nationalist movements across the Confederation of the Realms of the Conqueror (Kanadiaans: Staatenbund der Reiche des Eroberers), a loose confederation of the states established after the Kanadiaans Conquest. Eventually, the remaining of the continent consented to join the newly created kingdom, with the exception of the Kingdom of Belkhomir and the Republic of Caskhomir, the homelands of the Belkhomirians and Caskhomirians. The formation of a unified Candanadium contributed to the emergence of the Kaltach Rebirth and a period of cultural, political, and economic ascendency for the Kaltach world. Belkhomir would join Candanadium following the Second Belkhomirian War of 1940, an ill-fated invasion attempt of eastern Oseania. The Republic of Caskhomir would later join the Kingdom as an Autonomous Region like Belkhomir in 1965 after a popular referendum.
Modern-day Candanadium has emerged as the indisputable leader of the Kaltach Union and is one of the most dominant economies in the west. Candanadium is also one of the most diverse nations in the world, with two main ethnic groups, several minority groups, and a large immigrant community.
