The Kingdom of Finium, also known as Randsrinnan and Great Brachlon, is a constitutional monarchy in Gaia. Most of the three million inhabitants speak Fritergic, though centuries of exposure to other Cardian cultures have had a strong influence on the nation and language. Finium is bordered to the north by Brilliana and to the south by the Sea of Pomoria. As a constitutional monarchy, Finium's head of state is the king, whose palace is currently in Hallsind, making it the capital. The administrative institutions of the state are all nominally part of the palace, but their main offices are variously located in the other cities of Finium such as Amirre, Untar, and Haurnsa.
Finium's valley regions known as Brachlon have been inhabited by pre-Hesurian peoples since the iron age. During the late 5th century, however, there was an expansion of Hesurian peoples from Erdara from which most modern Finians descend. Specifically prominent among the Hesurians who came to Finium were the Versanxii, the Rend (or Rennish), and the Metaxii. Finium was briefly unified by the Sargasons of Angpern, who led a coalition to resist incursions from the Iparinans of Hirteland. After the Sargasons lost power, however, Finium was divided by neighboring nations.
Finium today lags behind the rest of Cardia in economic development and political freedoms, in a large part due to corruption from drug cartels and an extant aristocracy that controls much of Finium's private land. Despite consistently failing to reduce widespread poverty or combat patronage in the government, Finium is still viewed by many as a romantic, feudal country and thousands of visitors stay at restored castles or travel the Brachlon region every year.
