The Nelborne is a region and archipelago located in northwestern Europe. Situated on the Atlantic Ocean, the islands have a combined area of ~325,00 km2, with a population of approximately 22 million. The region contains the three Nelbec countries of Alquiya, Lormotia, and Seketan, along with Iceland, New Svealand, and the Kingdom of Trjebia1.

Human settlement of the Nelborne occurred during the last glacial period where homo sapiens migrated from Europe. The Classical era of the Nelborne encompassed North Nelbec, South Nelbec, and Sjezon polities centred on the Treb Bay. By the 3rd century AD, the Nelborne entered into dark ages. The Christianization of the Nelborne in the 9th century was soon followed by viking invasions which saw the Norse settlement of New Svealand and Iceland. The early modern era saw the kingdoms of Alquiya and Seketan become fierce rivals over hegemon regional power, with further division occurring during the Nelborne Reformation.

After an Alquiyan-led personal union with Seketan endured for almost a century, the Nelbec Empire was established in 1884, later occupying Danish territories and invading an independent Lormotia and New Svealand during World War I before ultimately collapsing in 1919. Disputes regarding the boundary of Trjebia and between New Svealand and the Lormot Republic led to the Nelborne War, which ended in 1942 inconclusively. After the Nelborne Spring where Alquiya and Seketan began their transition to democracies, the 1981 Alquiyan-Seketese crisis was resolved by the Treaty of Joghen which began the development of Nelborne integration. The Nelbec Council and Nelborne Union were established in 1982 and 2004 respectively.

The Nelborne represents an integral part of European culture. Its socio-cultural characteristics are influenced by Nelbec, Nordic, and Sjezonic cultures, the development of Western Christianity, and the region's relative isolation from the rest of Europe. The contemporary people of the Nelborne are primarily of North Nelbec, South Nelbec, North Germanic, and Trjebian origin. Seketese is the most commonly spoken native language; English and French are the most common second languages.

The Nelborne Union is the most prominent international organization aiming to represent the Nelborne region on a political level. The Nelbec Council aims to promote cooperation within the Nelbec countries. Every sovereign state in the Nelborne is a member of the Council of Europe. The historical isolation of the Nelborne continues to factor in the politics of Nelborne states regarding European integration.

Historical names

Definition and boundaries

In its most inclusive definition, the Nelborne includes the islands of Nelbecia, Iceland and surrounding smaller islands. The inclusion of Iceland is occasionally omitted in many political contexts regarding the island country's stronger connection with mainland Europe.

The Nelborne as a strictly geographical term is predominantly considered to be within northern Europe, sometimes northwestern Europe but seldom western Europe. The countries of the Nelborne are generally considered to be part of the Western world, although this identity is weaker in the Nelbec countries.

History

Middle ages

Main article: Middle Nelborne

Early modern

Modern

Alquiya and Seketan under the shared monarch of Fjedor IV and II formally united into a single state under the Nelbec Imperial Acts, establishing what would become the Nelbec Empire. The state under Elzin II espoused pan-Nelbec identity and occupied Danish territories with the diplomatic support of the German Empire, forming a military alliance in 1889. In 1914, the Nelbec Empire attacked Lormotia and invaded New Svealand, starting the Nelborne Front of World War I. The empire was decisively defeated in 1919. The Seketese Civil War began shortly after. The Civil Council in Alquiya established the Republic of the South Nelbecs and Trjebs which would later become the Republic of Alquiya. The Kjedorates emerged victorious in the Seketese Civil War and established the Second Seketese Republic.

Geography

The Nelborne is situated in the Atlantic Ocean between the North Sea and the Nelborne Sea in northwestern Europe. The region contains two main islands, Nelbecia and Iceland, as well as thousands of surrounding smaller islands. Most of Nelbecia is highly mountainous with sprawling ravine systems and taiga, with the central Trjebian plains, the Fjeskan plains to the northeast, and tundra forming to the north.

The principal landmasses of the Nelborne split from Pangaea 237 million years ago, eventually forming the two islands of Nelbecia and Iceland. The Fjoške and Yerjtan mountain ranges strike through the north-south axis of the Nelborne, with the entire region holding extensive volcanic activity.

Politics

Of the six sovereign states within the Nelborne, three are constitutional republics and three are constitutional monarchies. Alquiya is the only presidential system, with the remaining sovereign states operating under parliamentary systems.

International law in the Nelborne is upheld by various multilateral treaties and organizations, beginning with the Treaty of Joghen in 1981.

Regional organizations

The Nelbec Council and the Nelborne Union are the two principle international organizations that function in the Nelborne.

No state in the Nelborne is a European Union member state, and only Iceland is a member of the European Economic Area. Euroscepticism is predominant, although European integration is more popular in the Nordic Nelborne countries.

The Catholic Church is the most widespread religious instition, with Catholics forming a majority in Alquiya and Lormotia, with strong footings in regions of Seketan and New Svealand.

Culture

See also: culture of Alquiya, culture of Seketan, culture of New Svealand, culture of Lormotia, culture of Trjebia, and memes in the Nelborne

The Nelborne represents an integral part of European culture, primarily influenced Nelbec, Nordic, and Sjezonic cultures. Each country of the Nelborne has its own national traditions and cultures, all originating from the original human settlement of the Nelborne in the Neolithic era and the Indo-European migration to the Nelborne in the 20th century BCE. The earliest attested cultures established states in the Classical era of the Nelborne.

Sovereign states of the Nelborne have separate national media sectors and creative industries, however there is a high degree of cultural exchange and regional integration. Dubbing locally produced film and television into each country's national languages is a consistent and regular practice. Box-office and music sales charts within the Nelborne countries are generally grouped together.

The Nelborne Times, originally published in English, since its founding in 1979, and French, since the opening of its Conelibek office in 1983, is the most widely circulated newspaper and is currently published daily in 10 languages.

Notes

1.^ Due to the Trjebian dispute, the state is commonly referred to as the Former Kingdom of Trjebia (FKT) in international affairs. The state is recognized as the Kingdom of Trjebia by Seketan and itself. Alquiya has referred to the state as the Trjebian kingdom in Dremmem since 1985.
