Alanna, officially the Holy Kingdom of Alanna (Ndibeanayn: Alaeze Nsọ nke Alanna) is a country in northeastern Galia. It is bordered to the north and west by the Depian Ocean, the Great Galian Sea to the south, and to the east is bordered by various Galian citystates. Alanna has a population of 540 million, making it the most populous country in the world, and the second-largest in Galia. Its capital is Obodokohia in the north but the coastal southern city of Amahia is the largest city in the country.

The country is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations beginning with the formation of the Alanna kingdoms in the third century BC. It was first unified by the Ndi, a precursor group to modern Ndibeanyan, in the first century BC. The Ndi kings, by virtue of a successful marriage between Prince Agabo and Queen Akada of Vanha successfuly annexed the much smaller Vanha Kingdom in 1791 AD. Under the reign of Bunkem II conquered the Ikhet in the 18th century, culminating in a final conquest in 1717. Over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries Alanna colonized much of what is now Alaoyi, including conquests of Nuweland and the Diash tribes. Despite siding with the Coalition, Alanna suffered from economic recession as popular support turned against the constitutional monarchy. When the Alannan electoral authorities refused to certify an election which would give Chidobe Zurok control of the government, he led a coup against the constitutional monarchy. Alanna would fight in the Second Great War against Alaoyi and Naossia but would fall into civil war during the war and would exit in 1944. Alanna would fall into a state of tension with Inglaterra and Alaoyi, although as a less powerful country against the two southern states. During this period, the Alannan economy stagnated and eventually shrunk, leading to a massive increase of poverty in the country. However, stable food supplies led to rapid growth of the country's population. With the death of Zurok's successor, Prime Minister Choko Abiola, a religious revolution occured in 1986, leading to the restoration of the powers of the monarchy under a theocratic government.

The Alannan regime has been heavily criticized for human rights abuses, especially against ethnic and religious minorities, women, and political dissidents. Government crackdowns on protests in 2020 sparked a multisided civil war that has become a battlefield for political influence by other countries.

While the southwestern third of Alanna is mostly dry desert, most of the northeastern two thirds is tropical, making Alanna a prime country for the cultivation of rice. The easy growth of rice and rising standards of living has made Alanna into the most populated country on the planet and a rapidly growing one as well. The government of Alanna is an Prophetist theocratic monarchy that includes some elements of a federal system, with the ultimate authority vested in an autocratic monarch a position held by King Bunkem IV since 1998. The Alannan government is authoritarian, and is commonly criticized for human rights abuses, including several violent suppressions of mass protests, unfair elections, and limited rights for women and for children. It is also a focal point for Prophetist terrorism worldwide.
