}} '''Aleramia''' ({{wpl|Gallo-Italic languages|Oronese:}} ''Aleramia'', <small>{{wpl|Help:IPA/Lombard|[aleˈrɑːmja]}}</small>), officially the '''States of the Aleram''' ({{wpl|Gallo-Italic languages|Oronese:}} ''Stat di Aleram'', <small>{{wpl|Help:IPA/Lombard|[stɑːt di aleˈrãː]}}</small>) is a {{wpl|sovereign state}} located in [[Asura|Western Asura]]. It is bordered to the north by [[Vvarden]] and [[Arzvan Republic|Arzvan]] and to the south and east by [[Ardaima]]. The country borders the [[Opal Ocean]] to the west. The country covers a land area of 423,030 km2 (163,330 sq mi) with an estimated population as of 2018 of more than 45.5 million, who concentrate in the country's xx plain. The country's largest city is [[Cals]] and the {{wpl|capital city}} is [[Mortara]]. Other significant cities include [[Ivrea]], [[Lòbi]] and [[Samarà]].
 
Aleramia is a {{wpl|Federal state|federal}} {{wpl|Directorial system|directorial}} {{wpl|constitutional monarchy}}. It is divided into [[Administrative divisions of Aleramia|14 sovereign provinces]] (''provincia'', ''provincc'' in plural) while the country's federal government and its royal family seats in [[Mortara]]. The country's official language is {{wpl|Gallo-Italic languages|Oronese}}, {{wpl|Italian language|Arday}}, [[Arzvan language|Arzvan]] are recognised languages at the provincial level. {{wpl|Friulian language|Carnian}} is the official language in the province of [[Cjargna]] (''Carnia'' in Oronese).
 
The [[House of Aleram]] is the longest-reigning royal house in Asura and among the oldest in Aeia, dating back to [[Midrasia]]n {{wpl|nobleman}} [[Aleram, Count of Altipian]] (d. 929). The territory of modern-day Aleramia was inhabited by {{wpl|Celtic people|!Celtic peoples}} until the [[Fiorentine Empire|Fiorentine conquest]] of the territory in the 1st century BCE. The ensuing {{wpl|Romanisation|Fiorentinisation}} of the province of Aurona changed the cultural and linguistic landscape of the territory, with the advent of {{wpl|Classical Latin|Fiorentine}} as the ''{{wpl|lingua franca}}'' replacing a variety of !Celtic languages. After the fall of the Fiorentine Empire, the territory split along various petty kingdoms dominated by Fiorentine noblemen, until the conquest by the {{wpl|?}}. The ? Kingdom would exist from 600 CE to about the year 1060 CE as royal authority was weakened to the advantage of the renascent {{wpl|cities}}. During the [[Alydian Wars]], [[Aleram, Count of Altipian]] was named Count of Altipian by the Primate [[xx]], and tasked with putting an end to the {{wpl|Waldensian|?}} heresy in [[Tremezzina]]. Aleram and his descendants would establish their court in easternmost Aleramia and over the centuries proceeded to consolidate their authority and expand its territories westwards leading to the signing of the [[Union of Cortnoeua]] (1262).
 
The expansionistic policy of the Aleram and the weakening conflicts caused by the rivalries between the cities of [[Cals]], [[Luni]], [[Alba]] and the lords of [[Alta Langa]] gradually permitted dukes [[William XVII]], [[William XVIII]], [[Rainier III]] and particularly [[Conrad V]] to gain suzerainty over the entirety of modern-day Aleramia, and centralise power. Aleramia began its {{wpl|industrialisation}} in the mid-19th century, propelled by its {{wpl|Agriculture|specialised}} {{wpl|Capitalism|capitalist}} {{wpl|agriculture}} and {{wpl|textile industry}} and its favourable location. The country participated in the [[First Great War (Aeia)|Great War]], leading to social instability that culminated in the ''{{wpl|arengo}}'' of 1901, after which {{wpl|universal suffrage}} was introduced.
 
Today, Aleramia is a {{wpl|developed country}}, with an {{wpl|advanced economy|advanced}} {{wpl|high-income economy}}. It has very high {{wpl|standards of living}}, {{wpl|quality of life}}, {{wpl|healthcare}}, {{wpl|education}}, and is categorised as "very high" in the {{wpl| Human Development Index}}. The country has a {{wpl|multi-party political system}} ranked as "free" by the [[Aeian Freedom Index]].
 
== History ==
=== Etymology ===
[[File:Don-sancho-el-mayor.-rizzi..jpg|175px|right|thumb|[[Aleram, Count of Altipian|Aleram]] depicted by 17th century painter [[Lissander Bordon]].]] The States of Aleram's short, official name is ''Aleramia'' but it is also commonly known as ''Orona'', both as an {{wpl|endonym}} and an {{wpl|exonym}}.
 
'Aleramia' is named after the [[House of Aleram]], the reigning {{wpl|royal house}} of the country since the late {{wpl|10th century}} {{wpl|CE}}. The name of the house is {{wpl|patronymic}}. It derives from the name of the first head of the  house and first Count of Altipian, [[Aleram, Count of Altipian|Aleram]], a [[Midrasia]]n {{wpl|nobleman}} born in [[xx]]. Aleram, or ''Alérame'' in {{wpl|French language|Midrasian}} is a {{wpl|name}} of {{wpl|Germanic languages|Alemannic origin}} although the {{wpl|etymology}} remains unclear. The most commonly-held theory is that 'Alérame' is formed by two particles. The first, that is derived from ''Adel'' ('noble' in {{wpl|Proto-Germanic language|proto-Alemmanic}}) and ''Hraban'' ('{{wpl|raven}}' in {{wpl|Proto-Germanic language|Proto-Alemmanic}}), a reference to the bird of {{wpl|Wuotan}}, the supreme deity in {{wpl|Germanic mythology|Alemannic mythology}}. The modern name ''Aleram'' in {{wpl|Gallo-Italic languages|Oronese}}'s neighbouring Fiorentine languages, {{wpl|French language|Midrasian}} {{wpl|Italian language|Arday}} all have different versions of the name, ''Alérame'' and ''Aleramo'' respectively.
 
The term 'Orona' instead has a {{wpl|Latin|Fiorentine origin}}. 'Orona', or rarely 'Oronia', comes from the Fiorentine word for the province that occupies most of modern-day Aleramia, 'Aurona'. The term Orona may ultimately be tied to the {{wpl|Celtic languages|!Celtic root}} 'OL-', meaning 'large' in reference to the [[Orona River]], the most important {{wpl|waterway}} in Aleramia.

}} The States of the Aleram is the xxth largest country in Asura and the xxth largest country in Aeia with a total area of 223,326 km2 (86,226 square miles), of which 9,903 km2 (3,823.5 sq mi) is water. The country lies between the xx and xx latitutes. Aleramia shares a land border with, clockwise, [[Vvarden]], the [[Arzvan Republic]] and [[Ardaima]]. It borders to the south and west the [[Opal Ocean]]. The highest peak in Aleramia is the ''[[Piz Palù]]'', with an estimated altitude of 3,168 meters (10,394 ft) above {{wpl|sea level}}. The lowest point is in the village of [[Fontanegorda]] ([[Tigullio]]) with an altitude of -3.5 meters.
 
Including [[Galinara]], [[Palmaria]] and other small islands, Aleramia has a coastline spanning 3,675 kilometres (2283.5 miles) along the [[Opal Ocean]] from the border with [[Ardaima]] in the south to the border with [[Vvarden]] to the north. The border with [[Ardaima]] spans for 1,227 kilometres (762.4 mi), with [[Vvarden]] 1,561 km (969.9 mi) and 1,070 km (664.8 mi) with the [[Arzvan Republic]].
 
The country's borders are largely coterminuous with the [[Orona River]] {{wpl|watershed}}. The borders with the Arzvan Republic and Ardaime are largely {{wpl|mountainous}}, and are delineated by the [[Dan Mountains|Dan]] and [[Sexró Mountains|Sexrò mountains]]. The majority of the country is a {{wpl|fluvial valley}}. Around the edges of the fluvial plain, there are upper drier parts ({{wpl|anticline}}) that forms a hilly country that extends into the the hilly {{wpl|massif}} in the eastern part of the country from where the [[Orona River|Orona]] originates. The five largest lakes are, in order of diminishing size: the [[Lake Ider|Ider]] (3,801 km2 or 1,468 sq mi), [[Lake Sebì|Sebì]] (589 km2 or 227.4 sq mi), [[Lake Olginà|Olginà]] (574 km2 or 221.6 sq mi), [[Lake Mezzoeula|Mezzoeula]] (463 km2 or 178.8 sq mi) and [[Lake Sagrin|Segrin]] (98 km2 or 37.9 sq mi). A small section of [[Lake Pusian]] (2,848 km2 or 1,099 sq mi) is located in Aleramia, although most of its body of water is in [[Vvarden]].
 
The {{wpl|sediment}}-rich valley of the Orona River (known as ''la Basa'' in Oronese) has been extensively settled and exploited since before [[Fiorentine Empire|Fiorentine]] times, although following the collapse of the [[Fiorentine Empire]], large sections of the valley became {{wpl|swamp|swamp basins}} that would be progressively reclaimed between the 14th and 18th centuries CE. {{wpl|Canal}}s and {{wpl|drainage systems}} are still active and allow the Orona Valley to be drained and be cultivable.
 
=== Climate ===
{{main|Climate of Aleramia}}
[[File:Alassio (142926063).jpeg |250px|thumb|right|Coastal Aleramia has a hot summer {{wpl|Mediterranean climate}}.]] The climate of Aleramis is diverse owing to the country's variety and height differences between regions. The coastal areas along the [[Opal Ocean|Opean oceanic coast]] and in the valley surrounding the [[Lake Pusian]] generally fit the {{wpl|Mediterranean climate}} stereotype ({{wpl|Köppen climate classification}} Csa) with dry and hot summers and mild and rainy winters. Further inland, the weather transitions towards a typically {{wpl|humid subtropical climate}} (Cfa) characterised by the existence of four seasons and marked by hot and wet summers with moderately cold winters and high precipitations all-year round.
 
In the {{wpl|massif}} relief characteristic of [[Roe]], [[Garbagnes]] or [[Cjargna]] at a higher altitude, the weather resembles the {{wpl|Oceanic climate|Oceanic}} type, with milder temperatures all-year round and intense precipitations. In the [[Dan Mountains]], as altitude increases, climate changes. In areas like [[Cerentin]] at about 1,200 meters above sea level, the weather is {{wpl|humid continental climate|humid continental}} (Dfb) with cold winters and mild summers, as altitude increases in the Dan mountainous valleys like [[Bidre]] (1600-1800 meters), the weather transitions to a cold continental one (Dfc) with cool summers and very cold winters. Above the {{wpl|tree line}} at the areas of the highest altitude, a {{wpl|tundra climate|tundra-like climate}} (ET) can be found.
 
The quasi-enclosed nature of the [[Orona River|Orona Valley]] combined with the high degree of {{wpl|urbanisation}} and {{wpl|industrialisation}} of the area makes it prone to high levels of atmospheric pollution in winter in the form of {{wpl|smog}} as a result of {{wpl|Inversion (meterology)|temperature inversion}}, trapping {{wpl|air pollution}} close to the ground.

}} Aleramia is a {{wpl|Federal state|federal}} {{wpl|directorial system|directorial}} {{wpl|constitutional monarchy}} and it is often described as a {{wpl|consociational state}}. The political system operates within the framework of the [[Politics of Aleramia|Constitutional Laws]], an {{wpl|Codified constitution|uncodified constitution}} formed by nine laws that date from 1459 to 2015. The States of the Aleram feature a {{wpl|multi-party system}} where power is shared and {{wpl|coalition}}s are the norm, there has been no {{wpl|majority government}} since the introduction of {{wpl|proportional representation}} in 1905.
 
The [[Monarch of the States of the Aleram|monarch]] is the {{wpl|head of state}}, currently [[William XXIII of Aleramia|William XXIII]], whose reign began in 2014 following the death of King [[Ferdinand III of Aleramia| Ferdinand III]]. The monarch's duties are mostly ceremonial, he serves as the {{wpl|commander-in-chief}} of the [[Military of Aleramia|country's armed forces]], opens the parliamentary sessions or nominates judges on the advice of the [[Council of State (Aleramia)|Council of State]]. The King has the right to be periodically briefed and consulted on government affairs.
 
The {{wpl|executive branch}} is formed by the [[Council of State (Aleramia)|Council of State]] ({{wpl|Gallo-Italic languages|Oronese:}} ''Consili de Stat''). It is a collegial body of twelve members elected in a joint seating of the [[Legislative Assembly (Aleramia)|Legislative Assembly]] elected from three different groupings. The Council of State is elected for five-year terms at the beginning of each legislature. The Council of State has a [[Chairman of the Council of State (Aleramia)|Chairman]] (''President''), elected by the Legislative Assembly every six months, on 1 April. The President's role is largely representative with no additional powers, serving as a ''{{wpl|primus inter pares}}''. The current chairman is [[Matté Ornagh]].
 
The [[Legislative Assembly (Aleramia)|Legislative Assembly]] ({{wpl|Gallo-Italic languages|Oronese:}} ''Assemblea Legislativa'') is the {{wpl|Bicameralism|bicameral}} {{wpl|legislature}} of Aleramia and is formed by both a {{wpl|lower house}}, the [[Grand Council (Aleramia)|Grand Council]] (''Gran Consili'') and the {{wpl|upper house}}, the [[Delegated Council (Aleramia)|Delegated Council]] (''Consili delegà'' or ''Delegazion''). The Grand Council is formed by 351 {{wpl|direct election|directly-elected}} members under a system of {{wpl|proportional representation}} every five years. The ''Delegazion'' is formed by 84 members (6 per province) who are elected under a system determined by each province. Both houses have identical powers and for a bill to pass it needs to receive the approval of both houses on an identical text. Bills typically originate from the Grand Council. The Presidents of the Grand Council and the Delegated Council are [[Martina Gori]] and [[Filipp Bordon]], respectively.
 
The {{wpl|legal system}} is based on a particular variant of {{wpl|civil law|''ius commune''}}, known as ''Diritt oronés'', that merges {{wpl|Roman law|Fiorentine law}} with legal concepts taken from {{wpl|customary law}}, employing {{wpl|precedent}} to a much larger extent than other jurisdictions. At the federal level, the judicial system is formed by the [[Constitutional Court (Aleramia)|Constitutional Court]] (''Tribunal costituzional'') and the [[Senate (Aleramia)|''Senad'']], that acts as a {{wpl|court of last resort}}, examining whether the law was correctly applied in the contested decision ensuring the uniform application of federal law throughout the country. The judges of both courts are elected for 25-year terms in joint seatings of the Legislative Assembly.
 
=== Administrative divisions ===
{{main|Provinces of Aleramia}}
The States of the Aleram is formed by 14 provinces. The provinces are {{wpl|federated state}}s, have a permanent constitutional status and a high degree of independence, with all matters not specifically reserved to the federal state in the hands of the provinces. All 14 provinces are equal in status, with an equal representation of six seats in the {{wpl|upper house}}. Each province has its own constitution, and its own parliament, government, legal system, police, courts as well as its own internal organisation. The provinces are also responsible for {{wpl|healthcare}}, {{wpl|wefare}}, {{wpl|public education}} and {{wpl|taxation}} and also have the ability to conclude {{wpl|treaties}} with one another  as well as foreign states.

{{main|Demographics of Aleramia}}
[[File:Tower of San Gottardo in Corte from the Duomo - Milan 2014.jpg|225px|thumb|right|View of [[Cals]], Aleramia's largest city, from the [[Cals|Church of San Gotard]].]] Aleramia had an estimated population of 45,586,304 inhabitants in 2018, making it the [[List of countries (Aeia)|24th most-populated country]] in [[Aeia]] and [[List of countries (Aeia)|sixth]] in [[Asura]]. In 2018, the {{wpl|population density}} stood at 204.1 inhabitants per km2 (528.7 per square mile), a relatively high figure and the 3rd highest in Asura. The population is very unevenly distributed, it is concentrated in the [[Orona River|Orona plain]] and across the [[Opan Ocean|Opal coast]] in the [[Aleramic Riviera]]. Instead, the eastern part of the country is sparsedly populated. As a result, population density varies from xx inhabitants per km2 in [[Calsiana]] to xx inhabitants per km2 in [[Cjargna]].
 
The country's {{wpl|life expectancy|life expectancy at birth}} stood at 82.8 years (80.5 years for males and 84.9 years for females), the xxth highest in Aeia. Aleramia experienced great demographic growth during the second half of the 19th century and until the 1950s with the exception of the [[First Great War (Aeia)|First Great War period]] coinciding with {{wpl|industrialisation}} and the country's prolonged {{wpl|demographic transition}}, characterised by high {{wpl|fertility rate|fertility}} and {{wpl|birth rate}}s. In 1884, {{wpl|TFR}} stood at 5.84 children per woman. Since the 1970s, fertility decreased to 1.36 children per woman in 1994, a historical minimum. Today, the growth rate has rebounded, to the present {{wpl|TFR}} 1.78 children per woman, below the replacement rate of 2.1.
 
There are four groups that are recognised as "national minorities" as a result of their long-established presence in the country. These are the [[Arzvan language|Arzvan-speaking]] [[Arzvan Republic|Arzvanis]] (about 67,000) in north-western [[Roe]]; the [[Ardaima|Ardaimans]] along the border with [[Ardaima]] (around 175,000), {{wpl|Friulian language|Carnian-speaking}} [[Cjargna|Carnians]] in [[Cjargna]] and [[Roe]] (1.97 million) and the {{wpl|Romani people|Doma}} throughout the country.

=== Language ===
{{main|Languages of Aleramia}}
[[File:Linguistic_map_of_Aleramia.png|250px|left|thumb|Languages and Oronese dialects in Aleramia.]]{{wpl|Gallo-Italic languages|Oronese}} is the official language of Aleramia's federal government and that of 13 out of its 14 provinces. In [[Cjargna]] (''Carnia'' in Oronese), {{wpl|Friulian language|Carnian}} is the official language instead. Oronese is the language spoken by 41.7 million people (91.62% of the population), a vast majority of the speakers. The second most-spoken language in the country is {{wpl|Friulian language|Carnian}} spoken by 1.9 million people across the country, and particularly in the province of [[Carnia]] where 86% of the speakers live and where the language is used in government, the {{wpl|press}} and in education. The other two recognised languages are [[Arzvan language|Arzvan]] and {{wpl|Italian language|Arday}}. Arzvan is recognised in the province of [[Roe]], where there are over 67,000 speakers (3% of the population). Arday speakers constitute over 176,000 people, spread across [[Tremezzina]], [[Lemine]], [[Cjargna]] and [[Garbagnes]], the four provinces that recognise the language.
 
Standard Oronese is a member of the {{wpl|Romance languages|Fiorentine language family}}, closely related to neighbouring languages like Arday, {{wpl|Galician language|Vvardese}} and {{wpl|French language|Mydrasian}}. Oronese and Arday constituted a perfect {{wpl|dialect continuum}} until the mid-19th century as {{wpl|mass education}} and {{wpl|mass media}} have reduced {{wpl|mutual intelligiblity}} although it remains high in border-area dialects. Standard Oronese (based off the [[Cals|Cals dialect]]) and Standard Arday (based off ? dialect) have a much lower oral intelligibility.
 
Oronese is noted for its large variety of dialects, some featuring limited intelligibility between certain varieties and Standard Oronese, particularly in [[Tigullio]]. Dialects vary geographically significantly as a result of the country's decentralised structure, but they are typically divided into four broad groups: {{wpl|Ligurian language|Tigullian}}, {{wpl|Piedmontese language|Langhese}} (spoken in [[Altipian]], [[Roe]], [[Alta Langa|Alta]] and [[Basa Langa]]), {{wpl|Western Lombard language|Upper Oronese}} and {{wpl|Eastern Lombard language|Lower Oronese}}. Dialects are frequently used in domestic settings and influence regional Oronese, the regional variations of Standard Oronese, itself largely drawn from the Upper Oronese dialect.
 
Foreign language learning, typically Midrasian, is mandatory throughout all primary and secondary education, one additional modern foreign language is mandatory during the first two years of secondary education. {{wpl|French language|Midrasian}} is reportedly spoken by 75% of the total population, 60% are able to converse in Aday, and 13% in {{wpl|Welsh language|Mawraidh}}.
 
=== Religion ===
{{main|Religion in Aleramia}}
[[File:20151107 lyon146.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The [[Lòbi|Cathedral of the Eight Manifestations]] in [[Lòbi]] is the seat of the [[Alydianism|GAOPA]].]] The Aleramic States have no official {{wpl|state religion}} at the federal level, however the majority of the [[Provinces of Aleramia|provinces]] (with the exception of [[Calsiana]], [[Roe]] and [[Cjargna]]) recognise the [[Alydianism|Orthodox Alydian Church]] as their {{wpl|official church}}. In these provinces, the Orthodox Church, and also the  [[Gianavellism]] in [[Roe]] and [[Cjargna]], are financed by taxation of the religious adherents.
 
[[Alydianism]] is the professed religion of over 33 million Uronians, or 73.02% of the country's population. Over 31.9 million (or 70.02%) identify as members of the [[Alydianism|Orthodox Church]] (or GAOPA, ''Gesa Alidiana Ortodossa in di Provincc Aleramiche''). The [[Gianavellism|Gianavellists]] (''i Gianavellist'', named after founder [[Gianavellism|Gasper Giavanell]]), a small, {{wpl|Asceticism|ascetic}} [[Alydianism#Puritanism|proto-Puritan group]], represents 2.33% of the overall population, largely concentrated in the provinces of [[Roe]] and [[Cjargna]], where they add up to 21.1% and 17.2% of the respective provincial population. [[Gianavellism]] represent a majority only in the valleys of the [[Dan Mountains|Dan]] and [[Sexrò Mountains|Sexrò mountains]]. About 0.7% of the country's population identifies as 'Other Alydian', living primarily in urban areas, and are largely the result of the presence of foreign-born population. Despite the majoritarian identification with Alydianism {{wpl|religious observance}} is generally low. Only about 13% of the population declares to {{wpl|mass attendance|attend the services weekly}}, although the distribution is unequal, with much heavier attendance rates in the western provinces, particularly [[Altipian]] and [[Basa Langa]].
 
The percentage of the country's population to profess a faith other than Alydianism is 4.71% (slight over 2.1 million people) and is largely concentrated in the coastal provinces and in [[Calsiana]] as a result of {{wpl|immigration}}.
 
Over 10 million people in the Aleramic States declade to be {{wpl|Irreligion|unaffiliated}} ({{wpl|atheism|atheists}}, {{wpl|agnosticism|agnostics}}, etc.) to any religious denomination, representing 22.28% of the country's population. Unaffiliated people are concentrated in the [[Calsiana|Calsiana conurbation]], as they represent 39.3% of the population of [[Calsiana]] and 27.2% of [[Umlena|Umlena's]] population. The number of unaffiliated people has been markedly on the rise since the late 1980s.

This number is however expected to grow due to {{wpl|population ageing}}. The {{wpl|life expectancy}} at birth stood at 82.8 years, 80.5 for males and 84.9 for females, ranking xth highest in Aleia.
 
Aleramia has a {{wpl|universal health care|universal health care system}} where health care is provided in a mixed public-private system to all citizens. Aleramic citizens and permanent residents are covered by the ''Cassa Malattie Publica'', the {{wpl|National health insurance|national health insurance}}. The CMP is organised on a provincial basis and partially or reimburses the expenses of {{wpl|medical treatments}} and {{wpl|family doctor}}s, depending on the province and on the income of the patients. {{wpl|Prescription drug}}s are generally subsidised, requiring only a {{wpl|copay}} in certain instances.
 
Although coverage is paid for by the state, {{wpl|hospitals}}, {{wpl|family doctor}}s as well as {{wpl|pharmacies}} are run privately, albeit in a very regulated market. As a result, private citizens also have the option to acquire {{wpl|private insurance}}s that usually grant a quicker access to doctors and particularly {{wpl|specialists}}. About 28% of all Aleramians are covered by their own private {{wpl|insurance}} scheme.
