Carrelie, officially the Carrelian Empire, is a country in Europe. It borders the English Channel and the North Sea in the west and the Baltic Sea in the east. It is bordered by the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France to the west; Germany, Czechia and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine to the southeast and Lithuania and Belarus to the east.
Various tribes have inhabited the area now known as Carrelie since antiquity. The first recorded tribe to have inhabited the area is the Caisecawer, the direct ancestor of the modern Iffrws. The region was first united in the 970s, when Petty King Gosanric of Kuris conquered the Hasvet kingdoms neighbouring his domain, declaring himself High King. This kingdom collapsed after the death of child king Covrin the Unfortunate, only to be restored 23 years later by Count Frederick of Haufenburg in 1127. This line would later form the empire under Frederick the Victorious and stretch Carrelie to its current borders.
Today, Carrelie is a semi-constitutional federal elective monarchy. It is comprised of 12 autonomous nations, including 2 city-states. These nations are further divided into administrative divisions, such as Achanor's counties and Douria's lordships. Each of these nations are headed by their own head of state and head of government, with their own legislature. However, these legislatures all report to the Councils of Carrelie in Densmouth.
Etymology
Carrelie's English name comes from a misspelling of the nation's name in the 14th-century book Trade of Western Europe. When the manuscript was translated into English, the name for Carrelie in the book, the Land of Cornelian, a gemstone commonly traded in the area, was mistranslated as the Land of Carelian. When the guide became popular in England, the name Carelian fell into popular use, with the world later shortened to Carrelie
