Meronnia (Mèronais: Mèronie), officially the Federal Republic of Meronnia (Mèronais: République Fédérale de Mèronie), is a nation in Western Lira with several overseas territories. Metropolitan Meronnia is bordered by the Bay of Bicscay and the Inoran Ocean to the West, Lunderfrau to the North, Winst to the East, Arideo to the Southeast, Cisparrania to the South, and Produzland to the Southwest. The capital and largest city is Senone, with 2,812,000 living in the Senone Commune. The country's 47 Communes and 5 other Territories span a total of 646,571.4 km2 (249,642.6 sq mi), with a total population of 66.8 million people.

The country has a primarily mild Oceanic climate, though the metropolitan region varies from warm Mediterranean to Humid Continental. Overseas territories have an even broader climatic range. The nation is a federal semi-presidential republic, with executive authority shared between a directly elected Premier, the First Deputy of the Chamber of Deputies, and the Directory, a limply empowered holdover of the early Republican government.

Meronnia is a center for arts, sciences, and philosophy. Meronnia is a developed country with a very high standard of living and fairly low income inequality, though there have been recent concerns about rising housing prices. Meronnia is heavily involved in international affairs and participates in a number of international bodies. It is the leading member of the OIM, an organization initially founded as a post-colonial community of Mèronais-speaking nations.

Etymology

The origin of Meronnia is as a geographic term, Merona, describing the area the majority of the modern nation exists on, though the origins of this terminology are unclear (it is believed to have originated somewhere in Western Lira). The tribes, and later, kingdoms that inhabited the area became known as the Mèrons, and a gradual linguistic shift over several hundred years was confirmed in 1281 when Philip Rusét in his proclamation claimed the title of King of Mèronie. The Lorian exonym settled on Meronnia around the same time.

Both the exonym and endonym roughly mean Land of the Mèrons. As the word Mèron originally means those living in Merona or Mèronie, the cyclical nature of the meanings of these terms has drawn some attention as a source of humor for linguists.

The modern demonym for the nation of Meronnia is "Mèron" (or Meron/Meronnian in Lorian).
