Azmara, (/æzmɑːrə/; Azmaran: Azmaara [ɑzmɑːɹɑ]), officially the Kingdom of the Azmarans (Azmaran: Kyninkryk âb de Azmaariśeren [gɛmɛnʋɛlθ æβ ɑzmɑːɹɑ]), is a country located in northeast Euclea with a population of 10 million citizens. The nation consists of eight provinces and has its capital in the city of Aalmsted, whose metropolitan area backs onto many of Azmara's other large cities and comprises around 35% of the nation's population. To the southwest it borders Borland and to the northwest it borders Werania.

The Azmaran state can trace its origins to the consolidation of many of the petty kingdoms in the modern-day territory into the Western March of the Rudolphine Confederation in 1027. This state, which would later be reorganised into Twin Crowns of Groonbank and Westmaark during the 13th century, would come to be one of the pre-eminent states within the Confederation, dominating the Translanian sphere of the Confederation. Despite this, as the Amendist Reaction spread across the Confederation and found a particular stronghold amongst the lesser nobility and burghers of Groonbank-Westmaark, the state would come into specific conflict with successive Protectors over the 16th and 17th centuries, with the state seeing much bloodshed during the Amendist Wars.

Otto IX's attempts at centralisation would lead to further resistance in the state, culminating in the Azmaran Revolt of 1665, culminating in the self-government of several parts of Azmara under the Azmaran Confederation, which would further consolidate its control of the modern-day territories over the next half-century before the eventual unification of Azmara after the Ten Years' War. The Confederation would be increasingly incorporated into Soravia's sphere of influence, with Frederick I ruling the Confederation in personal union with Soravia, and the two states seeing heavy interconnection after his death. This would however be interrupted by attempts to export the Weranian Revolution to Azmara, with the Republic of Westmaark being created as a sister republic in 1794.

After the demise of the revolutionaries, Stefan I would be crowned King of Azmara in 1801, and would try and bring the concept of an enlightened monarchy to Azmara, yet after his death in 1837 his descendants' rule would become unpopular and after a series of bad harvests and confrontations with radical parliamentarians led by Jorś Wilhjâlmssun a revolution would break out in the winter of 1854, which would be ultimately satiated through the 1855 Instrument of Governance, which established parliamentary governance and extended suffrage to significant portions of the middle class. The country would introduce labour market reforms establishing a comprehensive welfare state in the late 19th and early 20th century establishing an advanced mixed economy and would adopt a policy of armed neutrality but would be invaded during the Great War by the Entente before being liberated by the Grand Alliance in 1933.

Alsbora is a nickname often used for the co-operation and joint advocacy between three northern member states of the Euclean Community: Alsland, Azmara and Borland. The name of the organisation comes from a portmanteau of the names of the three countries - Alsland, Borland, Azmara, and became widely used in Euclean politics since the accession of Alsland to the Euclean Community in 1955, yet the frequent co-operation between the three governments has never been coalesced into a formal organisation.

The term is often associated with joint foreign policy objectives of the three nations, with the three supporting increased federalisation of the Euclean Community while opposing a perceived domination of the organisation by Estmere, Gaullica and Werania and seeking to serve as a counterweight to the spheres of influence of the three countries. In some contexts, the pursual of these goals has led to co-operation between the three countries, Caldia and Hennehouwe, with many publications referring to a "small state bloc" consisting of the five nations, yet the use of Alsbora as a political moniker has remained in modern discourse and is often extended to contexts such as the military policy of the ECDTO, where the three members are often considered more dovish and sceptical of military intervention.

Historical background

• Post-Great War, Azmaran Realignment and Borish independence, Azmara and Borland begin close co-operation on many issues and "special relationship" formed.
• Both nations are founding members of the United Nations of Euclea and the Euclean Community.
• Alsbora probably forms as a thing when Alsland joins the EC in 1955 and I assume co-operation starts to be pursued.
• More stuff
• Workers' Party - Centrum - Progressive Alliance develop friendly relations despite Centrum's DM-PEC affiliation and the others SAE affiliation - in modern day good relations between Anasdohter, Hoven and Moeller notable.

Mikel Hankssun (18th March 1800 - 10th January 1876) was an Azmaran political leader, lawyer and statesman who served as the first President of Azmara between 1855 and 1867. A leading figure in the Revolution of 1855, he is viewed as one of the founders of republican Azmara alongside his political rival Jorś Wilhjâlmssun.

Ideologically an Azmaran nationalist and radical liberal, Hankssun sought to create a secular Azmaran nation unified by a shared cultural and linguistic heritage and ruled by a republican government inspired by the Seyresian principle of separation of powers and the principle of universal rights of man.
