Prior to the rise of the [[Pergalean Empire]], Camria was inhabited primarily by a number of {{wp|Celtic peoples|Thiaric peoples}}, most notably the {{wp|Celtic Britons|Cymrals}}. The region was subjugated by the Pergaleans during the [[Cymralic Wars]] from 26-20 BCE, giving rise to the province of [[Cymral]], and the eventual adoption of {{wp|Vulgar Latin|Vulgar Pergalean}} by the majority of the local population, giving rise to the modern {{wp|Brithenig|Camrian language}}. The invasion of [[Alucia]] and the ensuing fall of the Pergaleans led to the rise of petty kingdoms across the province, most notably that of [[Kingdom of Elysed|Elysed]]. In the 8th century CE, [[Peter the Saint]] of Elysed subdued many of the pagan lords of Camria in the [[Camrian Consolidation]], eventually leading to the rise of the nascent [[Alydian Empire]]. Elysed would come to dominate the Alydian Empire, coming to chafe with the lords of the less influential southern polities, eventually resulting in a strong rivalry between Camria and the southern regions.

In the 8th century CE, [[Peter the Saint]] of Elysed subdued many of the pagan lords of Camria in the [[Camrian Consolidation]], aiding in the emergence of the nascent [[Alydian Empire]]. Elysed overtook Defed to became the most powerful Camrian polity within the Empire, though Mirician polities tended to dominate the Empire in reality. This helped to contribute towards a strong rivalry between Camria and Miricia.


By the thirteenth century, the Duchy of Elysed had emerged as the dominant power in Alydian Camria, and was one of the first polities to take advantage of {{wp|colonialism}}, establishing a number of colonies across the new world during the 15th century. This nascent colonial empire led to an economic revolution in the duchy, allowing it to stand toe-to-toe with rivals in Atresca. In 1551, Camria defied the Alydian Emperor and sided with [[Midrasia]] during the [[Pontifical War]], ultimately emerging victorious. In the aftermath of the conflict, Midrasian Emperor-King [[Charles II]] allowed for the creation of the [[Archduchy of Camria]], consolidating Camrian prestige and power in western Asura and allowing it to emerge as one of the primary nations within the Empire. The fall of the Empire allowed the Camrian monarchs to adopt the title of King, and the nascent kingdom engaged in further colonial pursuits in [[Majula]] and [[Arabekh]].

The Camrian Empire became a major feature of the {{wp|New Imperialism|late colonial era}}, and the kingdom itself had emerged as a significant player in Asuran politics. In the [[Great War (Aeia)|Great War]], Camria was a member of the Concordat, and the fighting had disastrous effects on the country. In ther aftermath, border regions such as [[Colgasia]] were able to break away from the kingdom, and a number of colonies granted self-governance or ceded to the victorious powers. By the 1980s, the Camrian Empire - outside of a few minor islands - was all but ended. The kingdom had, however, rebuilt from the war, and emerged as a diplomatic {{wp|middle power}} in Asura.

Camria (Camrian: Kemrad), officially the Kingdom of Camria (Camrian: Rheon di Kemrad), is a sovereign state in western Asura, bordering Miricia to the east, Lenia and ??? to the south, the Lhedwin Channel to the north, and the Opal Ocean to the west. The kingdom comprises mainland Camria, which contains the metropolitan capital city of Elysed, as well as the island of Afalon to the west. According to the 2016 census, the country has a population of 63.5 million.

Prior to the rise of the Pergalean Empire, Camria was inhabited primarily by a number of Thiaric peoples, most notably the Cymrals. The region was subjugated by the Pergaleans during the Cymralic Wars from 26-20 BCE, giving rise to the province of Cymral, and the eventual adoption of Vulgar Pergalean by the majority of the local population, giving rise to the modern Camrian language. The invasion of Alucia and the ensuing fall of the Pergaleans led to the rise of petty kingdoms across the province, most notably that of Defed. In the 8th century CE, Peter the Saint of Elysed subdued many of the pagan lords of Camria in the Camrian Consolidation, aiding in the emergence of the nascent Alydian Empire. Elysed overtook Defed to became the most powerful Camrian polity within the Empire, though Mirician polities tended to dominate the Empire in reality. This helped to contribute towards a strong rivalry between Camria and Miricia.

By the thirteenth century, Elysed remained a dominant power in Alydian Camria, and was one of the first polities to take advantage of colonialism, establishing a number of colonies across the new world during the 15th century. This nascent colonial empire led to an economic revolution in the duchy, allowing it to stand toe-to-toe with rivals in Miricia. By the mid sixteenth century, the rivalry between Camria and Miricia resulted in the appointment of an Anti-Pontiff in Elysed, resulting in the Pontifical War. The war resulted in a negotiated peace, which saw Elysedan monarch coronated as Archduke of Camria. This consolidated Camrian prestige and power in western Asura, allowing it to emerge as one of the powers behind the Imperial throne. The dissolution of the Empire in 1812 allowed Camria to be elevated to kingdom, and the newly independent monarchs expanded Camrian power and prestige through colonial ventures, particularly in Majula.

Camria subsequently became a great power, and during the late colonial era the Camrian Empire boasted an empire on which the sun never set. By the mid to late nineteenth century, Camria and Miricia had experienced a detente, resulting in the Entente benefique. The close alliance between the two countries would help to contribute to the Great War, in which Camria was a major Entente power. Despite emerging victorious, the war had devastated the countryside and bankrupted the government. Despite fiscal difficulties, Camria attempted to retain the vast empire it had acrued, though most would achieve self-governance. Along with Miricia, Camria became a founding member of the Asuran Union. By the 1980s, the Camrian Empire was essentially ended, though the country maintained a significant overseas presence, retaining colonies such as Haiho. As a founding member, Camria remained a major power in the AU.

In the modern day, Camria is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. It is generally considered a great power, exerting signicaint soft power. It is a founding member of the Asuran Union, the !UN and !NATO. The reigning monarch is Anna II, while the current serving Prime Minister is Luc Gwenadur. Camria is a developed country with a high-income social market economy, recording a nominal GDP per capita of $44,318 in 2019.
