Amrelia, officially the Amrelian Federative Republic (commonly abbreviated AFR), and known more simply as just the Federative Republic or the Federation, is a sovereign state in western Europe. Amrelia is composed of 7 federated states and a federal district, Whiteford, which serves as the capital. It is bordered by Trilla Gang Mafia to the south, with a small land border with Norkantion to the southeast, and the *ocean name* to the north, east, and west. The AFR occupies an area of 466,507 sq mi (1,208,249 km²) and has a population of over 75 million people. There is no official language at the federal level, however English is the most commonly spoken language. Other recognized languages include French, Spanish, and Italian.

Etymology
History
*very much a work in progress*
Amrelia has existed as a state in its present form since it became a federal republic in 1830 and adopted a constitution which is still in use today. The precursors of Amrelia established a protective alliance at the beginning of the 14th century, forming a loose confederation of states which persisted for centuries.
Early history
Evidence of modern human habitation in the land known as Amrelia today dates back 20,000 years. The earliest known cultural tribes of the area were members of the Lindow and Caerdydd cultures. These cultures developed and flourished during the Late Iron Age from around 500 BC. One of the most important tribal groups in the region was the Amrelii. Wishing to abandon their homes around the O'Creagh Lakes and migrate north, they were eventually defeated by a combined force of the other tribes, forcing the Amrelii to return.
Confederacy
The Confederacy was an alliance among the several regional states that inhabited Amrelia. Effectively governed by Princes of various states, which were de facto monarchs in control of trade and administration, the Confederacy facilitated management of common interests and ensured peace in the valleys and mountain passes. The official founding document of the Confederacy is dated to the year 1305, when the western states of Elizabeth, Ambarino, Marion, and Quincy agreed to establish an alliance of joint defense as well as remain united on judicial matters. Only the eastern states of Montaro and Aedirn (which occupied much of the land of the present-day state of New Bordeaux) did not sign the document, but would in the coming decades join the united Confederacy. This expansion led to increased power and wealth for the confederation.
*some info*
The Confederacy expanded and gained much reputation with neighboring states. By the mid 16th century, the confederates controlled land as far west as the *ocean name*, south as the Kaedwen Mountains, east as the *ocean name* and north as the wetlands of Varoux. Setback occurred, however, in 1590, with the confederate defeat in the *war name*. This is generally considered to be the beginning of the decline of the loosely-united Confederacy. Combined with worsening economies, inter-state religious conflicts, and growing authoritarianism of the ruling princes and families, the situation in the lands were ripe for civil war.
Amrelian Civil War and unification
The birth of the Kingdom of Amrelia was the result of efforts by Amrelian nationalists and monarchists loyal to the House of Bohannon aiming to establish one unified kingdom composed of all the states in the confederacy. Not only the upper classes and nobility, but also ordinary Amrelians had grown increasingly tired and frustrated with the Confederacy, which was able to maintain order and prosper for more than three centuries but now slowly crumbling into chaos. For more than sixty years, civil strife, inequality and economical depression plagued the lands.
During this time, seeing that devolution would bring about the end of their lands, several ruling princes in the Confederacy sought to convene and elect a single ruler which would finally unite Amrelians under a single flag. Not every prince held this view, however. In the summer of 1649, the ruling princes of three states (Elizabeth, Ambarino, and Marion) made a joint declaration requesting that all the princes meet in Marion's capital of Willington to address the crisis unfolding in the confederation. Marion was largely considered the most powerful state thanks to its access to the Gulf of Lannahechee, population, and it being the center of trade between the other states, making its prince the most likely choice of becoming monarch. The princes of Quincy, Montaro and Aedirn denied the invitation and did not send delegations. Following the Council of Willington, the three princes and their courts unanimously declared that Marion's ruler, Lemuel Bohannon (now styled Ammiras I), was the first monarch under the new Kingdom of Amrelia, and pledged to him full loyalty; the lands of Elizabeth, Ambarino, and Marion now forming into one nation. When the princes of the other three states heard of this, they subsequently met with each other and declared war on the kingdom, stating that they would not be forced to unify and would fight for the survival of the Confederacy.
During the fall and winter of 1649, the Kingdom and Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the east for five years. The King's forces, though suffering a few costly defeats, ultimately proved superior against the loosely organized but stubborn Confederates. It is believed that around 580,000 Amrelian soldiers and civilians died in the war, making it the deadliest military conflict in Amrelian history. The war ended on February 8, 1654, when the last major Confederate army under General Edward Vansant surrendered to Ammiras I's forces while besieging Aedirn's capital. The war proved tragic for the eastern states' land, and a long period of reconstruction began with all of Amrelia now unified under a central government.
