'''Bergenaria''', officially the '''Federal Kingdom of Bergenaria''' ({{wp|Spanish language|Estiliano}}:''Reino Federal de Bergenaria'') is a country located in the central part of [[Europa (continent)|Europa]]. It is bordered by the east by [[Red Iberos]], to the north by [[Qubdi]] and to the south by the [[Haken Bay]] and [[Norrium]]. Bergenaria covers 238,900   square kilometers (92,239 sq mi) and is home to approximately 29 million people. Bergenaria's capital and largest city is [[Serenno]]; other major urban areas include Santiago de Ángeles, Caronia, Izquina, Arianza, San Cristóbal de Grenica, Zamora, Santa Catarina de Compostela and Aniria.
'''Bergenaria''', officially known as the '''Federal Kingdom of Bergenaria''' ({{wp|Spanish language|Stillian}}: ''Reino Federal de Bergenaria'') is a country located in the central part of [[Europa (continent)|Europa]]. It is bordered to the east by [[Red Iberos]], to the north by [[Qubdi]] and to the south by [[Haken Bay]] and [[Norrium]]. Bergenaria covers 238,900 square kilometers (92,239 sq mi) and is home to approximately 29 million people. The capital and largest city of Bergenaria is [[Serenno]]; other major urban areas include Santiago de Ángeles, Caronia, Izquina, Arianza, San Cristóbal de Grenica, Zamora, Santa Catarina de Compostela, and Aniria, all around eighteen autonomous communities.


The lands known as Bergenaria were inhabited by very loose Estilian-speaking duchies, nations, and feudal states. Most of these nations were born after the Tratado de Grenica, in which the sons and daughters of the deceased Supreme Leader Aureliano, el Cid divided the lands amongst themselves in a sense of cooperation and unity. The most notable states within these divided lands were the warmongering [[Duchy of Caronia]], the [[Grand Duchy of Lacornia]], and the [[Anirian Ascendancy|Arianzan Ascendancy]]. These noble states would eventually unite to defend the lands from Norrite invasions in the ''Reconquista''.
Anatomically modern humans lived in the temperate caves of the country from around 17,000 B.C. Modern archaeologists and anthropologists maintain that the settlement known as the ''Arianza Complex'' (Stillian: Complejo de Arianza) could have been the first city founded when human beings moved to a sedentary lifestyle and agriculture. Different societies were formed around the current ''Cempasúchil Valley'' (Stillian: Valle de Cempasúchil) with city-states such as Caronia, Arianza and Zamora having the hegemony of trade in the area. Prior to the Norric conquests, the kingdoms of Bergenaria were disunited. Historians suggest that cultural and religious trade and exchange with northern and eastern Europan nations brought the modern Stillian language and [[Catholic Church (Eurth)|Catholisicsm]].


Bergenaria traces its humble beginnings in the Sagrado Imperio Bergenaro (Eng.: Holy Bergenaran Empire), established by Empress Anastasia de Zamora in 1248. At its height, the HBE comprised almost the entire territory of present-day central Bergenaria, as well as parts of southern Bergenaria. Due to its supranational character, the Holy Bergenaran Empire never became a nation state or a modern state; rather, it maintained a monarchical government and an imperial estate tradition. In 1678, however, the neighboring states were constitutionally integrated as imperial states as the Empire had to ensure political stability and the peaceful resolution of conflicts by restricting the dynamics of power: it offered protection to the subjects against the arbitrariness of the lords, as well as to the lower estates against any infringement of rights committed by the highest estates or by the Empire itself.
Empires such as the [[Ascendancy of Aniria]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Caronia]] soon rose to annexation of the small kingdoms and cities in the area. The [[Salam]] conquests of [[Norrium]] in 545. they forced the Christian kingdoms of the Cempasúchil Valley to form the [[Alliance of Kingdoms]] (Stillian: ''Alianza de Reinos''), carrying out the reconquest and defense of the area, concluding around the fourteenth century, with the expulsion of the Salams and the creation of the Treaty of Grenica.


By the 19th century, the Empire was no longer able to continue protecting its members from the expansionist policies of internal and external powers. This was his greatest shortcoming and one of the causes of his decline. The defense of law and the preservation of peace became its fundamental objectives. At the onset of the Revolución liberal (Eng.: Liberal Revolution) in 1834, the HBE as a state ceased to exist as King Ludovico I was assassinated by liberal revolutionaries in the Siege of Serenno. The Revolución Liberal gave rise to the Bergenaran United States (Estiliano: Estados Unidos Bergenaros), which subsequently reformed to the Centralist Republic of Bergenaria (Estiliano: República Centralista de Bergenaria) in 1848. As monarchist nationalism arose in the state by the dawn of the 1860s, the autonomous kingdoms and duchies around the Bergenaran borders formed the Confederación, around the monarchist party Frente de Acción Nacional (Eng.: National Action Front). On November 2, 1867, the Cempasuchil Revolution would officially begin after the Confederación invaded the EUB. The ending I have already mentioned at the beginning of this writing.
The [[Treaty of Grenica]] gave birth to eighteen kingdoms in the Cempasúchil Valley, divided among the heirs of the last leader of the Alliance of Kingdoms, Aureliano el Cid Campeador. From this, the so-called [[Holy Bergenarian Empire]] emerged, which would persist until the 19th century, [[Revolución Liberal|when liberal revolutionaries]] executed [[Emperor Ludovico II]]. The liberal revolution led to the proclamation of a federation that would last until the so-called [[Cempasúchil Revolution]], leading to the restoration of the monarchy and the unification of the kingdoms of the Cempasúchil Valley in the so-called Kingdom of Bergenaria. The early 20th century would engulf the country in a brief economic and technological renaissance, defying the predictions of former monarchists. The so-called ''Florecimiento'' stalled in the late 1910s and culminated in an economic crisis in 1926. Federalist sentiments and political instability that began after the economic crisis erupted into violence in the so-called [[Two Thousand Days War]] (Stillian: ''Guerra de los dos mil días'') in 1948.


Bergenaria, now the Kingdom of Bergenaria would enter a brief Renacimiento in the early 20th century, advancing technologically far beyond the predictions of the former monarchists that oversaw the collapse of the HBE. However, the Renacimiento would stagnate in the late 1910s and officially stop with an economical crisis across the land in 1926. Turmoil and federalist sentiment soon spread across the land in crisis, with violence erupting into the Guerra de los dos mil días (Eng.: Two Thousand Years War) in 1948.
After the civil war and the victory of the monarchists, the country would reinvent itself for the second time. The once strictly monarchical kingdom passed into the 1961 Reformation, opening monarchical rule to liberal and progressive ideals once considered abhorrent due to its close connection to the long-defunct Centralist Republic. In 1993, the country would go through its transition to democracy, maintaining, however, some monarchical powers such as the individual power of the Dukes and the Royal Family. Today, the Federal Kingdom of Bergenaria has a healthy respect for human rights, a semi-stagnant economy, and a society that has combined monarchical traditions with modernity.


Following the civil war and victory of the monarchists, the country would reinvent itself for the second time. The once strictly monarchist kingdom went to the Reformación (Eng.: Reformation) in 1961, opening the kingdom to liberal and progressive ideals once considered to be abhorrent due to their close connection to the long-gone Centralist Republic. In the modern-day, the Federal Kingdom of Bergenaria has a healthy respect to human rights, a semi-stagnant economy, and a society that has combined monarchist traditions with modernity.

Bergenaria, officially known as the Federal Kingdom of Bergenaria (Stillian: Reino Federal de Bergenaria) is a country located in the central part of Europa.
