The Kingdom of Timeria, also known as Timeria is a sovereign state in Western Adula. It is bordered by Kantoalina, Azil, Cakala, Aybrea, Wyomia, and Somodi to the west, Artegana to the north, and the Albarine Sea to the east, with maritime borders with Austrolis, Peoratia, New Elkland, and Unified Sera.

The history of Timeria dates back almost 40,000 years with signs of early human civilization, such as some of the earliest bronze tools discovered. One of the oldest known civilizations in world history, for instance, were the Una people who lived deep in rainforests and adapted to the harsh environments, establishing early kingdoms and nation states. The post-classical Timeria was consistent of a rising unitary state on the west coast of the Albarine Sea, with relative isolation from much of the world allowing for sporadic growth, but with key oceanic trade networks spurring development. Timeria emerged as a regional power in the Barretoan Wars of the 1830s, and became more influential in their involvement in international affairs through the 20th century. Experts generally agree that Timeria became most influential in the 21st century with rising economic strides made through its involvement in the Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord (TAFCA).

The nation's GDP is estimated to be around 6.21 trillion, with a GDP per capita of 48,515, regarded as the 4th largest economy in the Coalition of Crown Albatross.

It is a founding member of the Pan-Adulan Defense Coalition, Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord, and the C21.
History
Prehistory
Ancient History
Roughly within the area which is modern day Timeria, ten clans were spread throughout the area and were loosely united through a warrior system. Before being united, the clans fought amongst each other for control and would raid nearby neighbors. In some cases, clans would work together to raid merchants on the Bezdekia Road. Much of the fighting was between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan. Both clans fought for control over what is now the Forever and Ryxyns Coast regions of present-day Timeria.
Post-Classical History
During this time many Timerian began to foster a sense of unity and the Merian Unity formed between the southern tribes of the Meria region. Following this many tribes in Timeria stopped warring with each other and the spread of cultures and commerce began. From 772-797 is considered to be a transitional period prior to the rule of King Jordan.
King Jordan is considered to be the founder of Timeria and one of the greatest political figures in history. Unlike many royals King Jordan was not born into royalty and worked his way up. In Timeria warriors were considered the highest socioeconomic class and Jordan had rose to be the top warrior within all of Timeria. Jordan married the daughter of a powerful Chief of the Senju clan, this created a union between the two clans and ended long term fighting between the two. Soon after the two clans formed a peace other surrounding clans followed suit, including the clans from Meria.
Modern History
Early in the modern era, many foundations of modern Timerian society were formed. Many had expected the union to fall apart after the death of King Jordan, but the nation had continued to progress with relative avoidance of political instability. Most of the Timerian growth was uninterrupted as many developing nations and fledgling empires were focused in East Adula and Euronia. However, in 1830, Timerian naval power participated in coalition activities at the helm of the Barretoan Wars and assisted in battling Skithan imperial fleets in the Emmiria Sea.
In 1951, Timeria committed support to the Allied Forces in the World War in the form of supplies and small detachments of fighter squadrons. Across Timeria production increased and manufacturers worked to meet the demands of the allied forces. Dragonwater became the production capital as the city produced over 1/4th of all exports. Dragon Manufacturing led other manufacturing through its groundbreaking manufacturing methods and efficiency
In 1978, Timeria joined the Coalition of Crown Albatross.
21st Century

Literature
Timerian literature has seen significant growth, especially during pivotal moments in the nation's history.

Another influential figure was Sera Veldan, who authored "A Nation Awakened," a novel that captured the spirit of resistance and renewal in Timeria during the 19th century.
Cultural movements also played a significant role in shaping Timerian literature. The "Golden Renaissance" of the 1800s was a period of artistic and intellectual flourishing, where poets, writers, and artists explored themes of national identity, freedom, and social justice. In the 1980s, the "Reclaim the Rhythm" movement saw a resurgence of interest in traditional Timerian themes, blending them with modern literary techniques to address contemporary issues like urbanization, globalization, and the environment.

Oratu is characterized by its elaborate costumes, masks, and use of symbolic gestures. It was originally performed in royal courts and has since evolved to incorporate modern themes, while still retaining its traditional narrative style. Oratu performances are a significant cultural event, often drawing large crowds and serving as a reminder of Timeria's rich historical legacy.

White Rock has become the heart of Timeria's modern art scene, with galleries and exhibitions showcasing the best of both traditional and contemporary Timerian art.
