Aleramia (Fiorentin: Aleramia, [aleˈrɑːmja]), officially the States of the Aleram (Fiorentin: Stat di Aleram, [stɑːt di aleˈrãː]) is a sovereign state located in Western Asura. It is bordered to the north by Vvarden and Arzvan, to the south Alforja 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 capital city is Murtara. Other significant cities include Ivrea, Lòbi and Samaraa.
Aleramia is a federal directorial constitutional monarchy. It is divided into 14 sovereign provinces (provincia, provincc in plural) while the country's federal government and its royal family seats in Murtara. The country's official language is Fiorentin, although Alforjac, Arday, Arzvan are recognised languages at the provincial level.
The House of Aleram is the longest-reigning royal house in Asura and among the oldest in Aeia, dating back to Midrasian nobleman Aleram, Count of Altipian (d. 929). The territory of modern-day Aleramia was inhabited by !Celtic peoples until the Fiorentine conquest of the territory in the 1st century BCE. The ensuing Fiorentinisation of the province of Aurona changed the cultural and linguistic landscape of the territory, with the advent of Fiorentine as the 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 ?. The ? Kingdom would exist from 600 CE to about the year 1060 CE as royal authority was weakened to the advantage of the renascent 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 ? 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 industrialisation in the mid-19th century, propelled by its specialised capitalist agriculture and textile industry and its favourable location. The country participated in the Great War, leading to social instability that culminated in the arengo of 1901, after which universal suffrage was introduced.
Today, Aleramia is a developed country, with an advanced high-income economy. It has very high standards of living, quality of life, healthcare, education, and is categorised as "very high" in the Human Development Index. The country has a multi-party political system ranked as "free" by the Aeian Freedom Index.
History
Etymology
The States of Aleram's short, official name is Aleramia but it is also commonly known as Urona, both as an endonym and an exonym.
'Aleramia' is named after the House of Aleram, the reigning royal house of the country since the late 10th century CE. The name of the house is patronymic. It derives from the name of the first head of the house and first Count of Altipian, Aleram, a Midrasian nobleman born in xx. Aleram, or Alérame in Midrasian is a name of Alemannic origin although the 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 proto-Alemmanic) and Hraban ('raven' in Proto-Alemmanic), a reference to the bird of Wuotan, the supreme deity in Alemannic mythology. The modern name Aleram in Fiorentin's neighbouring Fiorentine languages, Midrasian Arday and Alforjac all have different versions of the name, Alérame and Aleramo and Aleram respectively.
The term 'Urona' instead is of Fiorentine origin. 'Urona', or rarely 'Uronia', comes from the Fiorentine word for the province that occupies most of modern-day Aleramia, 'Aurona'. The term Urona may ultimately be tied to the !Celtic root 'OL-', meaning 'large' in reference to the Urona River, the most important waterway in Aleramia.
