Atresca (Atrescan: Etrescia), officially the Kingdom of Atresca (Atrescan: Regno d'Etrescia) is a sovereign state in western Asura consisting of the entire Atresca region as well as two overseas territories, the city of Troping, on the opposite side of the Asur Sea, and the Valdinas Islands. With 66 million inhabitants, Atresca is one of most populous states in Asura, and is widely considered global powers, being a founding member of various global geopolitical organisations, including the Commonwealth of Democratic Nations. Atresca shares land borders with Midrasia and Tigulia, as well as Aramas through the Troping exclave.
Archaeological evidence in Atresca suggests that the region was inhabited by ancient humans as early as 30,000 BC. The region harboured many Romance cultures including Atrescan and Satesian, and housed many small kingdoms and duchies before being conquered by the expanding Fiorentine Empire in the 3rd century BC. Under the province of Etresci, the Fiorentines developed the region extensively as one of the heartlands of the empire, flourishing through domestic trade across the Asur. After the Betrayal at Mydroll in 492, Alemannics who had migrated from the east overthrew the post-empire local states and established the Sabaic Kingdom, ruling over much of Atresca and neighbouring Glosmynd, Tigulia and Mirina. The Sabaics would be influential in western Asuran affairs until internal strife and rebellion led to its downfall and succession by the Alydian Empire, with Ludovico, an Atrescan noble, crowned as the first Emperor of the Alydians by the Pontiff in 716.
Through the Empire, the region of Atresca would dominate the position of Emperor as well as significantly influence the Pontificate, effectively centralising the rule over much of western Asura in its borders. Atresca quickly became the central hub of Asuran geopolitics, surpassing neighbouring Midrasia in influence in the early middle ages. Atrescan colonialism was started by the Decree of Battaglia in 1486, which saw many of Atresca's constituent states become colonisers, particularly after Alfonso Vestriña discovered Vestrim in the late 15th century. A series of conflicts between Atresca and Midrasia culminated in the Pontifical War in the mid-16th century, where Atrescan influence was severely neutered as Midrasia conquered the Riviera region and secured influence over the Pontificate, later seceding entirely from the empire itself in 1612. With the empire now faltering and becoming ineffective through lack of Imperial authority, a series of Thiaric emperors curtailed Imperial power in favour of local self-rule, denouncing the Emperor to an effectively figurehead role. Atrescan nobles forced the Emperor to abdicate and sign the Statute of Senna in 1812, officially disbanding the Empire. Satesian Duke Apollo I led a brutal unification campaign in 1858 that saw the region's kingdoms and republics unified into one cohesive entity. Atresca fought in the First Great War on the side of the Grand Alliance, led by Apollo and Prime Minister Gianbattista Della Verde, Atresca's Millennium Peace signatory.
After the war, Atresca led the global decolonisation effort, granting most of its dominions independence and setting its direct colonies on the route for devolution and later independence. Most of Atresca's overseas colonies had been granted independence by the 1950s, with Aramas becoming the final territory to be granted independence in 1960. Since then, Atresca has formed the bulwark of anti-Asuran integration, a vocal opponent of the Asuran Community and Cyningburgh Pact for International Security. Atresca's global empire allowed Atresca to be a widely-spoken language, and the second most spoken globally behind Midrasia.
Atresca is officially a constitutional parliamentary monarchy, with its Senate forming the unicameral legislature of the country. It ranks highly in human rights and civil liberties and is a high income, democratic country. It is the world's third largest economy and is influential in global trade, particularly in and out of the Asur through the Strait of Troping. It is the second most-populous country in Asura behind Midrasia and also its second-largest economy.
