Van Luxemburg (Vun Lëtzebuergesch: Vun Lëtzebuerg), officially the Grand Duchy of van Luxemburg ([Vun Lëtzebuergesch]]: Groussherzogtum Vun Lëtzebuerg), is a Grand Duchy made up of a federation of several historical states, located in the Marmorian Sea in western Maredoratica. Besides a federation of 9 states in what is commonly considered metropolitan Van Luxemburg, it controls the Special Cantons of Philipsbaai and Waterberg. Van Luxemburg is bordered to the north and west by Ruccola and its main archipelago is surrounded by the Cold Sea in the East and the Marmorian Sea in the south. With a population of 111 million and a GDP of almost $6 trillion, it can be considered one of the larger economic powers in the region. Its official capital is Lëtzebuerg, whilst the most populous city Esch is also its main economic hub.

History

Loose alliance of states forms in the 1400s, is then turned into a more formal Grand Duchy/state under what will become the House of Annabeek-Witzelsbach in the 1600s, extensive civil war with republican elements in the late 18th/early 19th century culminating in a federative state under the Grand Duke in the 1850s, swearing itself to armed neutrality and defending commerce. Relatively uneventful 20th century sees increased cooperation with neighbours and focus on economic growth.
