The Kingdom of Brynmor (Brynnish: Teyrnas Brynymôr, Charmelcs: Rioghachd Cnocnamara), commonly known as Brynmor, is a sovereign state in Parthenia. It shares land borders with Angland to the east and Vermand to the west. On it's north coast is the Sea of Slethar. As of 2017, Brynmor's population was approximately 5.3 million. Its capital city is Marunath, which is also the largest city in the country.

Continuous habitation within the modern borders of Brynmor began during the neolithic period as one of the earliest inhabited regions of Parthenia. Early Celtic cultures began to appear in the bronze age and iron age, despite Remillian occupation later on, connecting Brynmor to the other Celtic nations of the Sea of Slethar. Unlike neighbouring Angland, the Remillian occupation had little effect on the culture and people groups of Brynmor, as Celtic culture continued to develop. Following the collapse of the Remillian Empire in 301 AD, Brynmor was split into two kingdoms, Battania and Reyvadoin. It is theorized that these kingdoms would assist eachother in defending their lands from the Livanic invaders from the west, using the hilly terrain to their advantage. In 833 Brynmor was annexed by the Kingdom of Vermand, becoming a state in the north. In 1089, when Angland invaded Vermand, the Anglican monarchy established a monarchy in Brynmor, proclaiming the land "Brya'mordaleat" and becoming a vassal state of the Anglican kingdom used for power over the Vermandois kingdom. In the 16th century, under the Vieri dynasty, Brynmor was fully incorporated into the growing Anglish Empire. Following the death of Arthur I, the Anglican kingdom was left unstable under Anastasia I which Brynmor used to form a united kingdom with Charmelcia, known as the Kingdom of the Two Thrones. This dissolved after both nations established themselves in the 19th century, with a period of Brynnish nationalism during the 1830s.

At the turn of the industrial revolution, Brynmor was one of the first to develop into an industrial nation. Brynmor was known for it's mining, metallurgy and later on car manufacturing which centered itself around the captial city of Marunath. This transformed Brynmor from a country with a focused agriculture industry to an industrial society that was particularly present in it's north-west. Two-thirds of Brynmor's population lives in the north-west and surrounding valleys, with south Brynmor being agricultural while the remainder of the land is sparsely populated. In the late 20th and early 21st century, Brynmor has largely deindustrialised and the industrial industry has been on a heavy decline since the 1960s. Modern Brynmor has it's focus on the public sector, relying on tourism for much of it's economic wealth. Agriculture in Brynmor, due to it's hilly terrain, is mostly livestock based, having an estimated 10.3 million sheep which is higher than the population of human inhabitants.

The country has a distinct, traditional national and cultural identity. They keep positive relations with a majority of democratic nations, and are a member of a number of international organisations such as the United Nations, the Parthenian Community (PC) and the Parthenian Economic Union (PEU).

Geography

Rhaeadr Fawr, southern Brnymor, is the largest waterfall in the country (270 feet).

Brynmor is a generally upland country, with much of the southern portion of the country above 300m. It is located to the west of the Abershire county in Angland, which is also known for it's upland hills and livestock farming agriculture. Despite not being one of the largest nations in Parthenia, Brynmor has one of Eastern Parthenia's highest points at Mynydd Duw which stands at just under 1000m (922m). It shares land borders with Angland to the east and Vermand to the west. On it's north coast is the Sea of Slethar. Just over 40 small islands lie off Brynmor's coast and are administered by the government.

Due to Brynmor's diverse, upland terrain the land is generally cooler than others on it's latitude. It lies within the north temperate zone, with much of eastern Parthenia. It has also been described as having a maritime climate and recieves some of the highest levels of rainfall in Parthenia.

Biodiversity

Brynmor's fauna and flora is typical of south-eastern Parthenia. In it's north, along it's lush coastline Brynmor is home to various species of seabird, notably the puffin, ganet and the razorbill. In the south, along Brynmor's upland areas, various species of upland habitat birds also thrive. Brynmor is also home to a number of large mammals, such as the brown bear, species of wildcat and the wolf. Smaller mammalia include the pine marten, mice, otters, beavers, hedgehogs, bats and voles. Brynmor is known for having an invasive population of large cats, which were held by upper-class nobles in the early 20th century and released into the wild in the 1950s after it was made illegal to own without a liscence. Sightings of confirmed populations of cougar, Jungle cat and one notable Black panther which was captured in the wild and placed in a zoo until it's death in 2012, and it now sits stuffed in a museum on display.

Politics and Government

King Llywelyn III.

Prime-Minister Rhys Griffiths.

The 1951 constitution, which most regard as the act which cemented the modern Brynnish state, established Brynmor as a constitutional monarchy, albeit one in which the Prime-Minister exerts significant power and authority. The position of Brynnish king has existed since the times of the kingdoms of Battania and Reyvadoin, and the current ruling dynast is Llywelyn III from the House of Morgannwg. The House of Morgannwg have held the title since the late 18th century.

Economy

Transport

Transport in Brynmor is primarly dependent on it's road system, due to it's rugged terrain certain other forms of transport are difficult. The V18 Motorway runs from Marunath across the northern coast and into Angland, and links multiple cities to Brynmor. Responsibility for the section of the motorway within Brynmor, from the Avonian Crossing Point to Ponti Julius services, sits with the Brynnish General Government. In the south of Brynmor, the V59 Expressway has a similar role to the V18 in the north, connecting Knudarr, Pendraic and Druimmor as well as linking to the southern coast of Angland. The only main road that links north and south Brynmor is the V92 roadway.

Rail transport is popular in the south, particularly for traditional steam trains, and includes the Brynnish and Borders franchise, which is overseen by the Brynnish Rail Company while the entire rail system is overseen by the Brynnish government.
