| '''Barcia''' (<small>Idrean/Ludovite:</small> {{wp|International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects|/ba:rtʃiə/}}), officially the '''Kingdom of Barcia''' ({{wp|Italian language|Idrean}}:''Regno di Barcia''; {{wp|Lombard language|Ludovite}}: ''Reino de Barcia''), is an {{wp|unitary state|unitary}} {{wp|parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|constitutional monarchy}} located in eastern Occidental Auressia. Barcia is located on the eastern coast of Auressia along the Galene Sea and is bordered by [[Fortaine]], [[Palia]] and [[Sabaria]] to the west. The country has a land area of ???km<sup>2</sup> (??? sq mi) and a population of 34 million making it the Xth largest nation in Auressia by population. Barcia's capital and largest city is Tradare located within the north-east of the country along the river Russa.

|
| Barcia's origins can be traced back to the Sabarine Empire which came to dominate the region during the 3rd century BCE. Barcia would become a strategically important region from the empire providing significant resources and manpower which would allow further conquests across Auressia. Over time the region would become thoroughly Sabarinised and considered an integral part of the imperial heartland. With the decline of the empire however, Barcia came under attack from {{wp|Germanic peoples|Isaric}} tribes, leading to the conquest of much of Barcia's northern coast by the Ludovites in the Tenth Century CE. Over time the Ludovites would solidify their hold on the region and increasing their influence within the empire and at time threatening the power and influence of the neighbouring Grand Duchy of Orlesso which held control of much of eastern Barcia. Following the Fourth War of the Eagles in 1422, Barcia would become one of the most powerful states within the reformed empire along with Palia, gaining significant influence over Imperial elections, with the ruling House of Sabino claiming the title of Emperor on a number of occasions. During the Sixteenth century Barcia also benefitted from its expanding global trade network, which would see the import of spices and silks from Eastern territories such as [[Nabiya]] and [[Songha]]. With the onset of the Great War Barcia would side with its allies in the Coalition, dividing the empire to the benefit of the Kingdom territorially, however the Second Great War would see the Kingdom undergo a period of political instability resulting in revolution and a war of resistance against the Lanzist Empire.
| | '''Ludovicus the Great''', otherwise known as ''Hludwig'' or ''Louis'' was the King of the Ludovites from c.850-894. |
| | |
| As a {{wp|Constitutional monarchy}} Barcia is one of the few states within Levilion to retain royal family, with the country having been ruled by the [[Monarchy of Barcia|House of Sabino]] since 1378. The current ruler of Barcia is King Umberto VI who has ruled the country since 1987, the current Chancellor is Massimiliano Perretti. Barcia does not maintain a {{wp|codified constitution}} or a defined system of {{wp|separation of powers}} with much of the country's governing power stemming from the [[Parliament of Barcia]] under the doctrine of {{wp|parliamentary sovereignty}}. As a result, much of the country's governing principles are derived from {{wp|Constitutional convention (political custom)|constitutional conventions}} or statute legislation such as the 1843 Bill of Rights.

| | |
| Today Barcia continues to play a major role in the Occidental Confederation and across the globe as a key economic and political actor with its powerful economy centred on Tradare making Barcia a global economic and political hub. As a member of the [[Occidental Confederation]] Barcia weilds significant influence in Auressian affairs and currently holds the Consulship of the organisation through Fabiana Richardi. Barcia maintains a moderate armed force with a significant navy, both of which are primarily utilised for border security purposes as well as Occidental overseas missions. The largest sectors of the Barcian economy include service industries, notably {{wp|banking}} and {{wp|insurance}} as well as {{wp|winemaking}}, {{wp|designer fashion}} and {{wp|cosmetics}}. The country maintains a {{wp|universal healthcare}} system and is also renowned for its prominent arts and cultural sector.
