The Kingdom of Neragon (Neragese: Crecle onn Neragon), known simply as Neragon is and island nation located off the northeastern coast of Oranland. Mainland Neragon consists of the Neragese Isles which consists of the main island of Greater Aialand as well as many smaller islands. Neragon is bordered by the Neragese Strait to the east, the Ingentric Ocean to the west and south, and the Northern Ocean to the north. The total area of continental Neragon is 18,256,177 km2 (7,048,749 sq mi) which is inhabited by 211,833,000 people as of 1999. Additionally, Neragon possesses 7 overseas territories and dependencies, which including continental Neragon makes up the Neragese Empire.
Neragon's history can be traced back to its early tribal origins, when various clans and groups inhabited the region around what is now Aialand. These disparate communities often engaged in tribal conflicts and resource competition. However, the turning point came with the unification of these tribes under the leadership of King Aldor the Great in 94 CE. Aldor's reign marked the beginning of the Kingdom of Aialand, establishing the central authority that laid the foundation for the nation's governance and culture. Over the centuries, Neragon faced numerous challenges, including external invasions and internal strife, such as the !Roman invasion in 150 CE, which ended in a !Roman stronghold in the west of the country.
The monarchy remained a central institution throughout most of the medieval period, though it transitioned into a constitutional monarchy in 1298 CE, when King Thomas I signed the Grand Accord, granting certain rights and privileges to the noble class. This marked a significant step toward a more balanced and equitable society. The !Roman stronghold in the west persisted for centuries even after the fall of the empire, serving as a constant reminder of external threats as the Kingdom of Ostwng. Additionally, internal conflicts occasionally flared up, with periodic disputes between the monarchy and nobility over the distribution of power and resources. Aialand ceased to exist as a country in 1548 when it absorbed the larger but less populated Kingdom of Tirnikt to the north. This event marked the end of Aialand as an independent country, establishing the Kingdom of Neragon in Wilding. The Kingdom of Ostwng would later be annexed by Neragon in 1675, finally ending the long-standing !Roman presence in the region.
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, Neragon experienced significant industrialisation and modernisation, as well as growth as a colonial power. The development of railways, factories, and urban centres transformed the nation into an industrial power. The Neragese monarchy gradually ceded more authority to elected representatives, leading to the establishment of a parliamentary system in 1831. This shift in governance brought about greater political stability and representation for the growing population. The 20th century brought its own set of challenges to Neragon, with their involvement in the Great War, Neragon emerged briefly as the world superpower before the beginning of the !Cold War.
Neragon is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Its capital is Wilding which is the largest in the country by area, while the largest city by population is Daughton with an estimated population of 17 million as of 1998. Other major cities include Ostwng, Adaidh, Harhall, Thornburg, Beckham, and Trestwall. Neragon has Gentu's X-largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (GDP), and the X-largest by purchasing power parity. It has a high-income economy and a very high Human Development Index rating, ranking Xth in Gentu. Additionally, it performs well in international rankings of average intelligence, healthcare, life expectancy and human development. It is also the first recognised nuclear state since X and has been a permanent member of the Union of Realms Security Council since its first session in X.
Neragon is a member of many organisations including the Union of Realms, !NATO, X, and the League of Neragese Language Countries.
Etymology
History
Pre-unification
The earliest evidence of early humans in Neragon is located near Botenburg where a Paleolithic site is found dating back to around 170,000 years ago and was that of the Homo nuperni.[8] Modern humans (Homo captiosus) are known to have arrived in Neragon around 50,000 years ago via land bridge from X although the first permanent settlement was only established sometime around 9000 BCE.[9] As Hodiernus Ice Age ends and the ice sheets began to recede, Neragon was separated from the rest of Oranland by the end of the 8th millennium BCE.
The Séanctish people, ancestors of the Nicts, Poterns and Hesserns emerged in Neragon around 6500 BCE. They were characterised by their unique burial practices, which involved placing the deceased in cairns or stone circles, and leaving offerings such as pottery and tools. It was during this time that numerous Neolithic monuments, including the famous Standing Stones of Harhall in 5800 BCE, were constructed.[10]
The first evidence of copper usage in Neragon dates back to around 4750 BCE, ushering in the Chalcolithic.[11] This led to the development of advanced metallurgical techniques and the rise of complex agricultural societies such as the Cuprumics in the central regions of Neragon near around the Daughton River. The Cuprumics were known to have developed a system of irrigation that allowed for efficient crop cultivation.[12]
Around 2400 BCE, bronze was introduced to Neragon by !Greek explorers. The introduction of bronze eventually led to the discovery of iron in Neragon around 1200 BCE. This led to the development of iron smelting, allowing the construction of more durable ploughs, advancing agriculture, as well as the production of better weapons and tools.[13] During the Iron Age which started around 1000 BCE, numerous prominent tribes and city-states emerged, including Coshon (present-day Redhull), Norensis (Cliwark), and Aulonia (Harhall). This era of Neragese history saw the development of advanced magical practices such as Zoogurism around the 9th century BCE.[14] One of the most famous Zoogurists in Neragese history was a legendary figure known as the "Bear-wolf". According to folklore, the Bear-wolf was said to have the ability to shapeshift into both a bear and a wolf, and was revered as a powerful protector and healer by many tribes in Neragon.
During the ancient period, Neragon was ruled primarily by city-states, each with its own government and unique customs. The most prominent of these city-states was Aulonia, which controlled much of the Potern Sea and was known for its advanced trading networks and naval power. Other notable city-states during this era included Varia (Pontbach) and Dorn (Dornville).[15] In 433 BCE, Aulonia established the Potern League, a confederation of city-states in the region that aimed to promote trade and mutual defence. However, the league collapsed in 392 BCE due to conflicts between member states.[13]

The Parliament consists of two houses: the Council of Lords and the Council of Representatives. The Council of Lords serves as the upper house of the Parliament and is composed of appointed members, half of which are by the Monarch and the rest by the Prime Minister. They provide a deliberative and advisory role in the legislative process, offering valuable insights and expertise. The Council of Representatives, on the other hand, serves as the lower house of the Parliament and comprises elected representatives who directly represent the interests of the people.
