Eblania (Hesurian: Eblanien), officially the Republic of Eblania (Hesurian: Republik Eblanien), is a constituent federal entity within the Commonwealth of Algaria. It is home to 6,790,566 people and is the lesser denseley populated portion of the island of Algaria. Eblania's cold climate leads to a high proportion of the population living in urban areas of which the most populated city is Olvara and the capital is Marienburg.
What is today Eblania was first settled by Algonquian peoples who inhabited areas near modern-day Olvara, Lezete and Marienburg. First contact of these peoples with Bereans came in 1505 when the first trans-Agric voyage of Wesley Middelton discorvered what would become known as the 'New World'. When the first colony on the island of Algaria was founded at modern-day Christiana in 1615 by Nordic Semitar seperatists, the resulting chain of events led to the interest of several Berean powers such as the Kingdom of Aldia who sent explorers and colonisers to Algaria. Some of these colonisers settled in the Olvara Bay Area, later founding the colony of Olvara from which the modern city grew from; they also travelled further into the island's interior and founded colonies such as Lezete, Port Harold and Marienburg. This also marked the introduction of the Hesurian language to Eblania which would go on to shape the nation's culture and identity. Eventually, as colonies grew, Cuthish and Aldian colonisers were pushed onto opposite sides of the island with the majority of Aldians residing in the north of Algaria in what would become Eblania.
The demarcation of the border between the Aldian and Cuthish colonies was not settled until the Treaty of Gauteng; however, in the lead up to the treaty many Eblanian settlers became paranoid of the possibility of a Constantian land grab and the fear of being ruled under the Cuthish Empire. This paranoia led to the formation of several local militias and other armed groups who were prepared to fight to retain their land. At this time there also was a growing voice from native islanders demnanding their own local government. The settlers' greivances with land ownership was largely settled by the Treaty of Gauteng, however, a seperate treaty, the Treaty of Marienburg, was signed by both native tribes and Aldian colonial leaders to give native tribes local self-governance in the form of the Northern Territory. After King George's War of the War of the Cuthish Succession which led to the Kingdom of Aldia taking control of Constantia in 1740 Mascyllary influence on all of Algaria grew greatly as did immigration coming from Berea.
However as secessionist movements in Constantia grew surrounding royal Mascyllary tax impositions many in Eblania who faced similar impositions and who were also growing impatient with their Berean rulers formed similar movements, taking of republican ideals. Eblanian and Constantian seperatists unified together against Mascyllary rule in the Algarian Revolution and Revolutionary War, leading to the foundation of Algaria in 1818 with Eblania acting as a constituent nation within the new republic. In the following centuries Eblania saw huge economic and cultural growth as cities such as Olvara and Marienburg grew and a new national identity, separate to the colonial ideals which came before it, was fostered. In the mid-20th century there was a growing Eblanian nationalist movement with the Eblanian National Party winning its first legislative majority in 1972. This culminated in an independance referendum in 1983, in which 63% of Eblanians voted to keep the union with Constantia. After this, the apetite for Eblanian secession decreased rapidly as the Eblanian Liberal Party and Social Democratic Party came to dominate politics on a national level.
Eblania is classified as a devolved parliamentary democracy. It shares its national legislature, head of state, the Prime Minister, and head of government, the President, with Constantia. However, Eblania retains autonomy in the form of its own Premier, cabinet and legislature with a high level of autonomy. Like Constantia, and Algaria in general, Eblania usually ranks highly in social inclusion and democratic performance, as well as government transparency and protection of civil liberties.
