Kenlong, officially the Kingdom of Kenlong (Kenlongese: Vương Quốc Kênh Rồng), is a country located in south Pamira. Kenlong is the biggest country in the Aoese peninsula covering an area of xxx.xxx.xxx km2 (nnn.nnn.nnn mi2). It is also the 3rd most populated country in Aurorum with a population of over 90 million people. Kenlong borders the XYZ Bay to the east, the Baihu Sea to the west, Melasia and the Manatan Sea to the south. Kenlong's maritime borders are with Yudong in the Gulf of ABC to the northeast. The capital and biggest city is Phượng Hoàng. Other important urban areas of the country include Phong Xuan, Đà Pha, Hương Thụ, and Yên Ngãi.

At around 300 BCE, the An dynasty, under the flag of the Bạch Hổ Kingdom was the first influential city-state to be established on the northwestern side of the Ao mountain chain. A few years later, the Ông dynasty rose in the eastern Ao peninsula, under the name of the Kênh Rồng kingdom. In 162 BCE, the War of the Two Kings saw the Bach Aoese taking over most of the peninsula, overpowering the Kehn Aoese kingdom, which led to the creation of the Aoese empire in 137 BCE. Centuries later, a small noble family known as the Yên family rose in power and influence in the very south of the Aoese empire. With the Conquest of the Yên peninsula in 504 CE, the Yên dynasty sieged north and conquered all the land east of the Ao mountains by the year of 507 CE. In 508 CE, following the An dynasty defeat in the Ano-yenese War, Yên Thiên Hưng, was crowned emperor of the Ao and brought the capital of the empire from Phong Xa to Phương Hoàng. During the 14th century, the Aoese empire fell into an economic and social crisis which resulted in the loss of the Yên peninsula and the northwestern Provinces, which claimed independence from the Kingdom. The Tuyen noble house, fierce opponents of the Yên dynasty, grew in power and dethroned King Yên Minh Quốc after reconquering the Yên peninsula.

In 1825, Mascyllary colonialists established themselves as economic partners in the Yên peninsula, as they explored further south to Melasia. The Mascyllary presence at the time exposed the people in the Aoese Empire to republicanism ideas for the first time. The current dynasty, at the time led by King Tuyen Chí Sơn, disapproved of the Mascyllary presence and threatened to expel them from Aoese territory. In 1840, with help from Mascylla, a military coup established the first Kenlongese Republic, an authoritarian pro-Mascylla government that overthrew the Tuyen dynasty. With the rise of the Lạc family, a prestigious former noble family, and the Pro-monarchy Protests of 1873, the country got immersed in a civil war between Lạc Kenlongese and Mascyllary Kenlongese. After 17 years of conflict, The Lạc dynasty is established after Mascylla is defeated and expelled from the Ao peninsula.

In 1931, another coup supported again by Mascylla and Lavaria established another Military government in Kelong to counter Cuthland-Waldrich’s influence over growing Melasia. As communism ideas grew in Melsaia pos Melasian Crisis, the Kha family started a movement to bring back the monarchy and establish a safe and secure nation free from communism. The Kenlongese people grew fond of the ideas and, in 1972, voted for the reestablishment of the monarchy under King Kha Nhật Khương. The current constitution was written in 1974 and reiterated in 1975. Nowadays, Kenlong is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with King Kha Đăng Khương as the Head of State, and Prime Minister Phan Huy Hoàng as the Head of Government.

Kelong’s economy ranks as the world’s 5th largest by nominal GDP and the 2nd in Pamira. Kenlong is the biggest producer and exporter of petroleum in the world. Other important exporting goods from Kenlong are coffee, sugar, pharmaceutical, technology (especially telecommunication), and automobiles. The country is highly industrialized, with the majority of the population living in urban areas. Kenlong is a founding member of the Aurorum Association of Oil Producers and Exporters, the East Pamira Economic Association] and the Pamira-Melomavronesian Treaty of Economic Cooperation. The country is also part of the Assembly of Nations.

Economy

Kenlong is an open market economy that promotes foreign investment on top of its own high manufacturing capacity. Kenlong is a developing country and a highly-industrialized economy, with specialization in the automotive, pharmaceutical and aviation industries. Oil exploration and refinery is still a pivotal part of the Kenlongese economy, though it is not its backbone anymore. Kenlong also specialized in certain crops exporting, but the service industry makes up for the majority of the labor force nowadays. Being a world-influencing economy, Kenlong keeps ties with most nations, but amongst their top trade partners are: Mascylla, Lavaria, ?, ?, and ?. In terms of GDP nominal, Kenlong ranks as the 4th biggest economy in the world, at $2.1 trillions, and as the 7th biggest in terms of GDP by PPP, at $1.5 trillions. Kenlong is a rather unequal country, with the richest holding most of the wealth of the nation. The currency of Kenlong is the Kenlongese Saphire (Kenlongese: Kênh Rồng Xa Phia) and it is one of the most exchanged currencies in Pamira.

Historically, Kenlong has been an important place for the local and surrounding economies. During middle ages, Kenlong's placement by the Seas of Baihu, Manatan and Saba allowed it to be used as a pitstop by many sailors aiming to navigate the Jurgenshaven straight. Furthermore, Kenlong's good relationship with Mascylla and the economical advantages that came with the alliance helped Kelong to establish itself as an important economical center in Pamira, especially during the 18th, and 19th centuries. The local economy of Kenlong decreased quite a bit during its years as part of the Federated Melasian States, but its independence in 1951 and the oil boom of the 70s allowed the country to stand back up on its feet. The royalty, due to past experiences and also due to influences of other Berean nations, stepped away from the centuries of authoritarian regimes to implement a constitutional monarchy. Such political move allowed pro-foreign investment and pro-open market politicians to quickly rise to influnencial positions and start preparing Kelngong to be an open-market economy. The success of the oil industry in the 70s and 80s gave Kenlong enough money to invest within itself, with successful efforts to educate and qualify the working class of Kenlgong being successful. While Kenlong invested turned itself into an attractive market, foreign investors saw the potential on the growing and stable economy of the Pamiran nation, and quickly invested in the national Kenlongese economy. Nowadays, Kenlong is the home of some of the biggest Pamiran-based companies, as well as housing many factories for (mainly Berean) multinational corporations.

Kenlong's primary sector of the economy is not as big as the others, but it still holds international weight. The nation is the top producer and exporter of coffee in the world, as well as top 5 producer and exporter of rice, coconut, and sugarcane. Soy, cassava and corn are also amongst the biggest crops found in Kenlong. In the industrial sector, Kenlong shines as one of the heaviest industrialized nations in Pamira. The country is one of the biggest manufactures in the region, with its open-market economy allowing many foreign multinationals to base their factories within Kenlong. The tertiary sector of the economy is dominant in Kenlong, with retail, telecommunication, pharmacy, financial services, and franchising being amongst the most employed areas of the service industry. Kenlong also houses many of the biggest Pamiran companies. Amongst them are: Highland Group, TeleKen, Tay General Motors, N.S. Motors, Blue Dragon Airlines, Emerald Bank, Hoang & Oanh Pharmaceutical, Petroken, and PetroBlue.
