The Fire Territories, officially the Federation of Fire Territories but more commonly known as Fyrland, is a sovereign country on the continent of lower Vinya, on Septentrion. It is bordered by Tír Ealga to the north, Bēnirani in the south, Crioch Fuinidh and Tīri-Ēra in the west.

Fȳrēþel is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. The current monarch is Æþelric XIII, who has reigned since 2005. Fȳrēþel's capital city is Nīwe-Fȳrhēafodstōl, but not its largest; Its largest city is Brēcænburg, a global city and industrial centre with a population of 13.5 million. The Greater Brecanburg area (Fēþisc: Swīþlic Brēcænburgsetl) is the most populous metropolitan area in the world with over 40 million people. Other major urban areas in Fȳrēþel include Fæstēah, Nīwe-Fȳrhēafodstōl, Clorēþsted, Adlertūn and Hātaþurg.

Fȳrēþel is a developed country and has the world's fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP and fourth-largest economy by purchasing power parity. It has a middle-income economy and has a high Human Development Index rating.

Etymology

Prior to 1203 the 18 kingdoms under the Fire-Empire (Fēþisc: Ᵹiſæti-Isæti) monarchy were formally known as the Fȳrcynerīce; Colloquially known as the "Fire Kingdom". This name would stand until 1203.

The 1203 First Acts of Union (Fēþisc: Forma Dōþ of Annes) declared that the then 21 kingdoms of Lower-Vinya (Fēþisc: Erecg-Wīnya) were "United into One Kingdom under the name of the Fire Territories". The Second Acts of Union (Fēþisc: Ōðer Dōþ of Annes) in 1487 brought the newly purchased island chains of Irēlandes and Geoirēlandes into the union, forming the Fērlæcende Fȳrēþel of Erecg-Wīnya ac Ofersǣþel; Colloquially known as the "Fire Territories", "Fire-land", or "Fyrland".

The adjective "Fȳrisc" (Lit: Fyrish) is commonly used to refer to matters relating to Fȳrēþel. The adjective can also refer to the native Wīnya (Lit: Vinyan) language also referred to as Isætinyan (Lit: Isatinyan); Which can trace its origins to the neighbouring country Bēniran.

The adjective "Fȳrfolc" (Lit: Fire-folk) can be used to refer to several major ethnic groups which make up the modern populous of Fȳrēþel.

History

Background

Niranic Hanging Gardens of Menafesha Illustration circa 56BCE

Settlement by anatomically modern humans of what was to become Fȳrēþel occurred in waves beginning by about 10,000 years ago. By the end of the region's prehistoric period, the population is thought to have belonged, in the main, to a culture termed Insular Niranic, comprising Niranic Bēniran and Pemīmī Tērī-Tēra. The Niranic conquest beginning in 205BCE, and the 800-year rule of Erecg-Wīnya (Lit: Lower-Vinya), was followed by Fēþfolc (Lit: Walking-folk, Ostlandic Eisenmaton traders & settlers), reducing the Niranic area to mainly what was to become Bēniran. Until the later stages of the Fēþfolc settlement, the inner corners of Erecg-Wīnya would remain largely Niranic.

In 1002, the Nīwe-Fȳrfolc (Lit: New-Firefolk) crown and their allies invaded the largely Fēþfolc kingdom of Fieryrþling, after a Nuptial contract named Dǣd Gēmunglic be Fȳr (Lit: Nuptial Deed in Fire) was signed at the marriage of a Norþfȳrdomne to a Sūþfȳrhlǣfdīge (Lit: North-Firelord & South-Firemaiden) in 1001AD. The contract called for the reunification of ancient land rights held by birthright to the family of the Sūþfȳrhlǣfdīge, which had since been heavily permeated by Fēþfolc settlers. This gave rise to the Fȳrcynerīce (Lit: Fire-Kingdom) officially in the year 1001AD.
