Kenlong, officially the Kingdom of Kenlong (Kenlongese: Vương Quốc Kênh Rồng; Bachoese: 王國巠蠬), is a country located in south Pamira. Kenlong is the biggest country in the Aoese peninsula covering an area of xxx.xxx.xxx km2 (nnn.nnn.nnn mi2). It is also the 3rd most populated country in Aurorum with a population of over 90 million people. Kenlong borders the XYZ Bay to the east, the Baihu Sea to the west, Melasia and the Manatan Sea to the south. Kenlong's maritime borders are with Nanzhou in the Gulf of ABC to the northeast. The capital and biggest city is Phượng Hoàng. Other important urban areas of the country include Phong Xuan, Đà Pha, Hương Thụ, and Yên Ngãi.

The two earliest most powerful city-states to surge and polarize the Aoese Peninsula were the Bạch Hổ Kingdom, under the An dynasty, and the Kênh Rồng Kingdom, under the Ông dynasty. Years after the establishment and expansion of both dynasties into the peninsula, the War of the Two Kings saw the land divided between both Bạch Hổ and Kênh Rồng kingdoms. By the year of 137 BCE, the An dynasty subjugated the Ông dynasty and incorporated the western portion of the peninsula, establishing then the Aoese Empire. At around 300 BCE, the An dynasty, under the flag of the Bạch Hổ Kingdom was the first influential city-state to be established on the northwestern side of the Ao mountain chain. A few years later, the Ông dynasty rose in the eastern Ao peninsula, under the name of the Kênh Rồng kingdom. In 162 BCE, the War of the Two Kings saw the Bach Aoese taking over most of the peninsula, overpowering the Kehn Aoese kingdom, which led to the creation of the Aoese empire in 137 BCE.

Centuries later, a small noble family known as the Yên family rose in power and influence in the very south of the Aoese empire. With the Conquest of the Yên peninsula in 504 CE, the Yên dynasty sieged north and conquered all the land east of the Ao mountains by the year of 507 CE. In 508 CE, following the An dynasty defeat in the Ano-yenese War, Yên Thiên Hưng, was crowned emperor of the Ao and brought the capital of the empire from Phong Xa to Phương Hoàng. During the 14th century, the Aoese empire fell into an economic and social crisis which resulted in the loss of the Yên peninsula and the northwestern Provinces, which claimed independence from the Kingdom. The Tuyen noble house, fierce opponents of the Yên dynasty, grew in power and dethroned Yên Minh Quốc after reconquering the Yên peninsula.

In 1825, Mascyllary colonialists established themselves as economic partners in the Yên peninsula, as they explored further south to Melasia. The Mascyllary presence at the time exposed the people in the Aoese Empire to republicanism ideas for the first time. The current dynasty, at the time led by Tuyen Chí Sơn , disapproved of the Mascyllary presence and threatened to expel them from Aoese territory. In 1840, with help from Mascylla, a military coup established the first Kenlongese Republic, an authoritarian pro-Mascylla government that overthrew the Tuyen dynasty. With the rise of the Lac family, a prestigious former noble family, and the Pro-monarchy Protests of 1873, the country got immersed in a civil war between Lac Kenlongese and Mascyllary Kenlongese. After 17 years of conflict, The Lac dynasty is established after Mascylla is defeated and expelled from the Ao peninsula.

In 1931, another coup supported again by Mascylla and Lavaria established another Military government in Kelong to counter Cuthland-Waldrich’s influence over growing Melasia. As communism grew in Melsaia pos Melasian Crisis, the Kha family started a movement to bring back the monarchy and establish a safe and secure nation free from communism. The Kenlongese people grew fond of the ideas and, in 1972, voted for the reestablishment of the monarchy under King Kha Nhật Khương. The current constitution was written in 1974 and reiterated in 1975. Nowadays, Kenlong is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with King Kha Đăng Khương as the Head of State, and Prime Minister Phan Huy Hoàng as the Head of Government.
