'''Abramea''' ({{wp|Hebrew language|Abramean}}: אברם, {{wp|transliteration|tr.}} ''Avram''), officially the '''Union of Abramea''' ({{wp|Hebrew language|Abramean}}: האיחוד של אברם, {{wp|transliteration|tr.}} ''Ikhúd shel Avram''), is a {{wp|socialist state}} in [[Pamira]]. The country stretches from the [[Endotheric Sea]] to the [[Red Desert]], bordering [[Uris]] to the south and sharing a maritime boundary with [[Lavaria]] to the west. Abramea has a population of 38.3 million, 71.3% of which lives close to the coast. The historic city of [[Jerach]] is the capital and largest city.

The country stretches from the [[Bosphoric Sea]] to the arid [[Abramea#Geography|Red Mountains]], bordering [[Kherita]] to the south, [[Ashira]] and ??? to the east, and ??? to the north. Abramea has a population of 38.3 million, which is heavily concentrated close to the coast, as the country's interior is sparsely populated.

Humans first arrived in Abramea in around 90,000 years ago. A number of {{wp|Semitic languages|Abro-Ashiran}} peoples emerged in the region, and established {{wp|city state|city kingdoms}} during the {{wp|Bronze Age}}; by the {{wp|Iron Age}}, the territory had been largely united under the rule of the [[Kingdom of Jerach]]. This ancient kingdom became a client of the [[Cambran Empire]] around 10 BCE, and was fully subjugated by the Cambrans in 74 CE. When the empire was [[Cambran Triarchy|partitioned]] in 326, Abramea was put under the control of the [[Triumvirate of Appira]]. The Triumvirate relied on the support of local petty kings, who emerged as largely autonomous, and by 407 the Triumvirate had lost all authority in the region. A number of feudal realms emerged across the country, emulating the situation during antiquity.

The territory had been largely united under the rule of the [[Kingdom of Jerach]] by the {{wp|Iron Age}}, which coincided with the emergence of [[Gyhad]].

After the collapse of the Empire, a number of feudal realms emerged across the province, emulating the situation during antiquity.


The region was then subjugated by the [[Chaghanid Empire]] in ????. After the splintering of [[Zengui]]'s empire in 1285, Abramea was largely part of the [[Chaghanid Empire|Zenguid Khanate]], before eventually becoming part of the [[Chaghanid Empire|Gurkhanate]]. It remained part of the Gurkhanate until 1861, when the [[Jerach Crisis]] and subsequent [[Lavarian-Chaghanid War]] saw Jerach and the lion's share of the country transferred to [[Lavaria]] as a colony. The country was subject to attempts at Lavarianisation, and saw sizable migration from the Lavarian metropole. After the [[Great War (Aurorum)|Great War]], there were many calls for independence from Lavaria, but the government instead attempted to integrate Abramea into the country at large. Opposition to this, led by the {{wp|labour movement}} and {{wp|socialism|socialist leaders}} in Abramea, resulted in the [[Abramean Revolutionary War]] and the country's declaration of independence in 1928. Abramea was established as a {{wp|socialist state}}, and was immediately recognised by the [[Pamiran Federation]]. Abramea's independence was recognised internationally in 1933, after the war came to a conclusion.

Abramea (Abramean: אברם, tr. Avram), officially the Union of Abramea (Abramean: האיחוד של אברם, tr. Ikhúd shel Avram), is a sovereign socialist state in southwestern Cathan. The country stretches from the Bosphoric Sea to the arid Red Mountains, bordering Kherita to the south, Ashira and ??? to the east, and ??? to the north. Abramea has a population of 38.3 million, which is heavily concentrated close to the coast, as the country's interior is sparsely populated. The historic city of Jerach is the capital and largest city.

Humans first arrived in Abramea around 90,000 years ago. A number of Abreo-Ashiran peoples emerged in the region, and established city kingdoms during the Bronze Age. The territory had been largely united under the rule of the Kingdom of Jerach by the Iron Age, which coincided with the emergence of Gyhad. This ancient kingdom became a client of the Tiberan Empire around 10 BCE, and was fully subjugated by the Tiberans in 174 CE. After the collapse of the Empire, a number of feudal realms emerged across the province, emulating the situation during antiquity.

The common Wellish exonym of Abramea is directly derived from the native Abramean endonym Avram (אברם). The name Avram is itself a derived contraction of haAretz Avram or Eretz Avram, the Land of Abraham, itself derived from the B'nai Avram, the tribe of Abraham.

Abramean is the sole official language in Abramea, and is by far the most widely spoken. It is also considered the national language. Despite its prominence, there are a number of other, smaller minority languages spoken in the country, primarily Ashiri and Calcidian. These and other minority languages have varrying levels of recognition across the country; Ashiri in particular is far more commonly spoken in the eastern interior, while Calcidian speakers are concentrated in the southwest, along the border with Kherita. In these regions, the minority languages are essentially co-official with Abramean.

Secondary languages are encouraged by the Abramean education system, and students are encourged to learn a second language alongside their mother tongue. Popular choices include Arlyonish, Kheritan, Sintelian and Narrish. If Abramean is not already the students' mother tongue, then they are taught Abramean.
