Gabrielland, formally Gabrielland and Arsya (Gabrielt: Dzukan Rul i Arsya, IPA: [d͡zu'kan rʊl 'j‿arʃa]) is a sovereign state located in Anteria, and is also a Dokodo Union member state. As of 2018, Gabrielland has an estimated population of 152 million people living in an area of 1.5 million square kilometers, making Gabrielland one of the biggest states in Anteria. Gabrielland is officially divided into three "realms", the Kingdom of Gabrielland, the Kingdom of Arsya, and the new frontier. Gabrielland borders Kuronobe to the east, Junterland and Grafenland to the north, Monte Blanco to the southwest, Prei Meas to the south and Azureden to the southeast. Diverse climates and land forms exist within Gabrielland owing to Gabrielland's large land area and span between latitudes.

Gabrielland is comprised of two major ethnic groups, the Gabrielts and the Arsyans, who respectively inhabit mainly the south and the north. The population of 152 million is unevenly distributed, with almost 70% of the population living in the Kingdom of Gabrielland alone while accoutning less than 20% of the land area. The Gabrielts bear many resemblance in appearances and customs with their neighbors to the southwest and east, while the Arsyans bear many similarities with their neighbors in the north with Junterland and Grafenland, although their language forms its own separate family different to those spoken in the neighboring states. The principal language in Gabrielland is Gabrielt, with almost all official broadcasts and published media in the Gabrielt language, even though Arsyan occupies the same status as Gabrielt. As a result, many Arsyans are bilingual in both Standard Arsyan and Gabrielt whilst many ethnic Gabrielts are monolingual.

It is widely believed that the present-day area of Gabrielland was first settled by early humans around the year 50,000 BC, when the spread of humans into Gabrielland and subsequently through the Eucatan peninsula occured. These early humans were mostly hunter-gatherers with pastorialism arriving by the late 20th millenium BC. The advent of farming led to the first proto states and cities, in which small communities of people would form and collectivize their work into a controlled and uniformed system. These proto states developed into city states by the early 1st millenium BC, of which several early wars were recorded over territory and power. These city states grew into kingdoms, and by the late 10th century, distinct Gabrielt and Arsyan kingdoms were set in stone, and the two leagues occasionally traded with one another. In 1648, the Gabrielt Confederation was established as a measure to prevent future squabbles and to coordinate the economic productivity of the Gabrielt speaking states. A similar confederation was established within the Arsyan kingdoms in 1689.

These two confederations, independent of one another, slowly merged into one big entity respectively, with the first Gabrielt proto-state known as the Gabrielt Confederation acting as a singular entity in both internal and external affairs in the year 1813. The Arsyan kingdoms started to become closer kint too, and, fearing Gabrielt superiority over the area, decided to form a unified kingdom in 1828, to much dismay of the local kings. The Gabrielt Confederation transformed into the Gabrielt Kingdom in 1831. Relations between the two kingdoms grew as trade and contact was intensified, even though the two kingdoms were separated by about a thousand kilometers. By the turn of the 20th century, irredentist ideas from Gabrielt nationalists sparked the idea of a united Gabrielt and Arsyan state along with the vassals of both kingdoms. A formal treaty of unification was signed on the 17th of April 1927 with an interim government. The unified Gabrielland would continue to endure several more years of poltical hardships and turmoils within the newly created system.

Gabrielland is classified as a developing economy, however, has very huge disparities between the regions. The Kingdom of Arsya constitues 65% of the GDP of Gabrielland whilst containing only a quarter of the population, and is classified as a high income and developed economy, while most areas in the kingdom of Gabrielland are lagging far behind with some regions suffering from chronic mismanagement of resources and funds, and is subsequently less developed than other regions within the Kingdom of Gabrielland itself. Generally speaking, Gabrielland manufactures electronics, automobiles and other high tech items, as well as a strong banking sector dominated in Arsya. Agriculture still plays a huge role in most Gabrielts' lives, and is the bread basket of Gabrielland and to a lesser extent the Dokodo Union.

Gabrielland is a Federation with three constituent parts, who each are represented in the high council by their respective internal heads of states. The monarchs of Gabrielland and Arsya fulfill this role, while the high commissioner of the new frontier fulfills this role. A singular head of state was abolsihed in the 2000 reforms of government, and is now represented by three people. Constituent realms are divided into regions and into provinces, which each have their own legislatures. Gabrielland is a member of the Dokodo Union.
