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]]id 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 Salamids and the creation of the Treaty of Grenica.
=== Liberalism and nation-state ===


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. This federation 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.
=== Civil War and rearise of the monarchy ===


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.

Bergenaria, officially known as the Federal Kingdom of Bergenaria (Stillian: Reino Federal de Bergenaria) is a country located in the central Amutian part of Europa on Eurth. 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 kilometres (92,200 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.

Anatomically modern humans lived in the temperate caves of the country from around 17,000 BCE. 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. The expansion of the Aroman Empire eventually reached and brought to a halt the expansion of said city-states, albeit bringing an Aroman acculturation of the population. Aniria remained under Aromatic control until presumably around the 3rd century CE. Around the 9th century CE, the region became a caliphate after Norric conquests. Catholic kingdoms emerged on the northwest of the valley, notably Aniria, a resurgent Caronia, Lisoria and Valparia and over the next six centuries, an intermittent southward expansion of these kingdoms, known as Reconquista, culminated with the Cathloic seizure of the Emirate of Samarat in 1385. With the end of the Reconquista, under the treaty of Grenica, the Catholic kingdoms divided their lands based upon their gains in the front. The treaty also gave rise to the called Holy Bergenaran Empire. Centralisation of the administration and further State-building in the valley ensued in the 18th and 19th centuries, during which the Crown saw the called Revolución Liberal. The country veered between different political regimes; monarchy and republic, with the first prevailing after a 1948-54 civil war. With the aperture of the kingdom and transition to democracy under the Bergenarian Constitution of 1993, the country experienced profound social and political change as well as an important economic growth.

Bergenaria is often considered a developed country, with a secular parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with King Clemente VII as head of state. It is a high-income country and an advanced economy, but a relatively low population that is still recovering from the last times of troubles. Bergenaria has one of the longest life expectancies in Europa at 79.9 years in 2019. It ranks particularly high in healthcare quality, with its healthcare system considered to be one of the most efficient worldwide.

Etymology

There are several hypotheses about the origin of the word Bergenaria. The first version suggests that it comes from a mispronunciation by Catholic generals of the Berengaria River that crossed the current capital of Serenno during the Reconquista. The second and the most accepted theory suggests that Bergenaria comes from Queen Bergenaria of Caronia, wife of King Damaso de Aniria which united briefly the kingdoms into an alliance. Legend says that during the height of the Reconquista, Bergenaria rode on a horse with a spear and a shield during the Siege of Arianza. When victorious, she took hands with her husband, creating the image of the coat of arms.
