The Nelborne is a region and archipelago located in northwestern Europe. Situated in the Atlantic Ocean, the islands have a combined area of ~425,00 km2, with a population of approximately 22 million. The region contains the three Nelbec countries of Alquiya, Lormotia, and Seketan, along with Iceland, New Svealand, and the Kingdom of Trjebia.
Human settlement of the Nelborne occurred during the Last glacial period where homo sapiens migrated from Europe. The Classical era of the Nelborne encompassed North Nelbec, South Nelbec, and Sjezon polities centred on the Treb Bay. By the 3rd century AD, the Nelborne entered into dark ages. The Christianization of the Nelborne in the 9th century was soon followed by viking invasions which saw the Norse settlement of New Svealand and Iceland. The early modern era saw the kingdoms of Alquiya and Seketan become fierce rivals as the hegemon regional power, with further division occurring during the Nelborne Reformation. After an Alquiyan-led personal union between Alquiya and Seketan endured for almost a century, the Nelbec Empire was established in 1884, later occupying Danish territories andinvading an independent Lormotia and New Svealand during World War I before ultimately collapsing in 1919. Disputes regarding the boundary of Trjebia led to the Nelborne War, which ended in 1942 inconclusively. After the Nelborne Spring where Alquiya and Seketan began their transition to democracies, the 1981 Alquiyan-Seketese crisis was resolved by the Treaty of Joghen, which began the development of Nelborne integration. The Nelbec Council and Nelborne Union were established in 1982 and 2004 respectively.
The Nelborne Union is the most prominent international organization aiming to represent the Nelborne region on a political level. The Nelbec Council aims to promote cooperation within the Nelbec countries. Every sovereign state in the Nelborne is a member of the Council of Europe. The historical isolation of the Nelborne continues to factor in the politics of Nelborne states regarding European integration.
