Etymology
The name of Mekabiri is an exonym, originating as the Oharic word Mek’abiri (መቃብር, "grave"), and is a reference to the relative position of where the Sun sets or "goes to die" when viewed from Orioni. During the colonial period (1349-1822) the country was called Birlini.

History
Pre-colonial era
- Early population comes from Azania and Amutia in the west. Land used to be much greener, but after the last ice age ended the climate became warmer with increased desertification.
- Prehistory: This leads to more diversity in the cultures: fishermen along the coast, heders in the highlands, nomads in the desert.
- 1000-0 BCE: Small pockets of agriculture, mostly subsistence farming.
- 0-500s CE: Tie into the Pearl Road. Crossroads for many other historic nations.
- 500-1000s: Borderland against the Sacred Aroman Realm.
Colonial period
- 1000-1500s: Tie into the Orinese colonial expansion. First forts along the coast. Later on more defensive lines inland. Mostly extraction economy.
- 1349-1822: Official colonial period of Birlini.

20th and 21st centuries
