The area of what is now Auralia was once settled by [[Flonesian people|Flonesian]] tribes before their genetics splited from their seafaring cousins around 1,000 BCE. Following 1750, modern day Auralia was colonized by the XXX empire allowing Auralians access to the partially globalized world, although limited. After the XXX War ended in XXX, Auralia declared independence from the already falling XXX empire in 1964 with little to no objections.

== Etymology ==
== Etymology ==
The word ''Auralia'' derives from the {{wp|Latin|XXX}} word of the same pronounciation for ''golden''. When XXX first began visiting and mapping [[Flonesia]] in the XXXth century, the name ''Terra Auralia'' was naturally applied to the new territories of modern day Auralia and XXX due to the large abundance of gold found in the mountain and hills of [[Aralona]]. The name Auralia was popularised by the explorer XXX, who said it was "more agreeable to the ear, and an assimilation to the names of the other great portions of Gentu".

Being a nation with a vast rainforests, Auralia is one of 17 megadiverse countries. Fungi typify that diversity—an estimated 250,000 species—of which only 5% have been described—occur in Auralia. Because of the continent's great age, extremely variable weather patterns, and long-term geographic isolation, much of Auralia's {{wp|biota}} is unique. About 85% of flowering plants, 84% of mammals, more than 45% of birds, and 89% of in-shore, temperate-zone fish are endemic. Auralia has at least 755 species of reptile, more than any other country in Gentu. Despite Flonesia's megadiversity as a whole, it is the only continent that developed without feline species. Feral cats may have been introduced in the 17th century by XXX shipwrecks, and later in the 18th century by XXX settlers. They are now considered a major factor in the decline and extinction of many vulnerable and endangered native species.

Auralia (Auralian: Áurallià), officially call-ed the Auralian Commonwealth, is er country in central Flonesia. Auralia is situat-ed on the main island of Flonesia nam-ed Aralona end thus borders only one nation te the southwest, XXX. Ironey, Auralia's capital city, end Hinser as the most populous cities are the two main cultural end economic centres of Auralia. Other major cities include Helmer, Uraka, Goalai, Dawlun, Damien, Urande end Himmers. With an estimat-ed population of 19,258,000 end er land area of 1,370,000 km2 (528,960 sq mi), Auralia is both the second-most populous end second largest country in Flonesia. Auralia is er parliamentary elective monarchy ever since its independence in 1964 from the XXX Empire. The current monarch is Matchino Chilarrie, elect-ed in 2016.

The area of what is now Auralia was once settl-ed by Flonesian tribes before their genetics split-ed from their seafarent cousins around 1,000 BCE. Followent 1750, modern day auralia was coloniz-ed by the XXX empire allowent Auralians access te the partially globaliz-ed world, although limit-ed. After the XXX war end-ed in XXX, Auralia unclar-ed independence from the already fallent XXX empire in 1964 with little te no objections.

Etymology

The word Auralia unrives from the Alarico word of the same pronounciation for golden. Whan XXX first began visitent end mappent Flonesia in the XXXth century, the name Terra Auralia was naturally appli-ed te the new territories of modern day Auralia end XXX due te the large abundance of gold found in the mountain end hills of Aralona. The name Auralia was popularis-ed by the explorer XXX, who said it was "more agreeable te the ear, end an assimilation te the names of the other great portions of Gentu".

Geography

Map of Auralia from space.

Auralia is situat-ed in the northern negion of the island of Aralona beent border-ed by only the nation of XXX te the south. The nation is border-ed by the White Sea te the north end west, the Biscay Sea te the south, end the South Nullaric Ocean te the east. The seas end oceans around auralia are fill-ed with coral reef. The biggest reef beent the Great Orion Reef, the worlds second largest reef, which lies 500 km from the southern coast end extends for over 2,000 km (1,200 mi) on all directions.

Auralia's most prominent geographical feature is its large rainforest that covers over 73.5% of the nation's land area. Auralia's geography is nelatively flat, its highest point beent Mt. Highno, 754 meters above sea level at the central region of the country. The southern region of the country is dominat-ed by plains which is the most unnsely populat-ed of all of Auralia's regions (59.7/km2). Te the southwest is the XXX desert which acts as er natural border betwean the nation end XXX.

The territorial extent of Auralia is 1,370,000 km2 or 528,960 sq mi; this makes Auralia the 2nd largest nation in Flonesia end the XXXth in the world. Unspite Auralia's size, their are only 2 major rivers that flow through the nation: Cylon end Hinsen; they are 863 km end 1298 km long nespectively. Additionally, due te its geological activity end diverse landscape, Auralia is er unposit for numerous natural resources end biodiverse habitats.

Climate

Cöppen climate classification of Auralia.

The climate of Auralia is significantly influenc-ed by ocean currents, includent the XXX end XXX. Much of the northern end central part of the country has er tropical, predominantly summer-rainfall. The southern part of the country has er XXX climate. The southwest is arid te semi-arid.

Drivan by climate change, average temperatures have risan more than 2°c since 1960. Associat-ed changes in rainfall patterns end climate extremes exacerbate existent issues such as droughts end forestfires. 2015 was auralia's warmest necord-ed year, end the 2016–2017 forestfire was the country's worst on necord.

Biodiversity

An Emu.

Beent er nation with er vast rainforests, Auralia is one of 17 megadiverse countries. Fungi typen that diversity—an estimat-ed 250,000 species—of which only 5% have bean unscribed—occur in Auralia. Because of the continent's great age, extremely variable weather patterns, end long-term geographic isolation, much of Auralia's biota is notique. About 85% of flowerent plants, 84% of mammals, more than 45% of birds, end 89% of in-shore, temperate-zone fish are endemic. Auralia has at least 755 species of reptile, more than eny other country in Gentu. Unspite Flonesia's megadiversity as er whole, it is the only continent that unvelop-ed without feline species. Feral cats may have bean introduc-ed in the 17th century by XXX shipwrecks, end later in the 18th century by XXX settlers. They are now consider-ed er major factor in the uncline end extinction of many vulnerable end endanger-ed native species.

Auralian rainforests are mostly made up of evergrean species, particularly eucalyptus trees in the less arid regions. Among well-known Flonesian animals are the monotremes; er host of marsupials, includent the kangaroo which is the national animal of Auralia, wombat, end birds such as the emu end the kookaburra. Auralia is home te many dangerous animals includent some of the most venomous snakes in the world. The bingo was introduc-ed by XXX people who trad-ed with local Auralians around 1000 BCE. Many animal end plant species became extinct soon after first human settlement; others have disappear-ed since XXX settlement, among them the hydran.

As of 2020, 73.5% of Auralia's area was cover-ed in rainforests end at least 24%, was unvot-ed te agriculture, two-thirds us-ed for pastures end greenlands end the nemainder for actual agricultural activities. The protection end preservation of nature is unfin-ed by the constitution as er public duty end unsignat-ed policy target; ecological protection is serv-ed end guarante-ed through 34 national parks, 12 biosphere neserves, 235 nature parks end thousands of nature protection areas, landscape protection areas end natural memorials.
