Lormotia (Lormot: Lormoyt), officially the Kingdom of Lormotia (Lormot: Kingdya a Lormoyt), is a Nelbec country in northwestern Europe. Bordering Alquiya to the South and West, and New Svealand to the North, Lormotia composes a large portion of the Nelborne eastern seaboard. Much of the Lormot borderlands is composed of the Yerjtan Mountains, with much of its cities and industry located on the fertile Lormot plateau. The country's weather is one of the warmest in the Nelborne, with the Atlantic Ocean in the east and the mountains in the west creating hot summers and mild winters, especially in the southern panhandle. Lormotia's population of 3.5 million (2016) is almost entirely located in urban areas along the Atlantic coastline and the Lormot plateau. Vlyade is the nation's capital and largest city. Its greater urban area contains over half the population of Lormotia and is home to most government institutions, companies, and royal residences.

Habitation of the Lormot plateau began in the neolithic period by Szejon herders. The Nelbec Exchange would reach the plateau late in the 1st millennium BCE, causing a massive population change to occur whereas Nelbecs from the north moved in and completely displaced the Szejon population, with the formation of early Nelbec groups and states following shortly after. The area would remain in a flux of clans and chiefdoms until the 4th century with the rise of two major Kingdoms, Vljadeja and Maskimoj, beginning the Lormot war period. For the next 300 years, these kingdoms would fight alongside various regional allies for supremacy over the plateau, culminating in Vljadeja conquering the other in the 7th century and forming the modern Lormotia.

Lormotia would grow into a regional power within the Nelborne, with occasional border wars with its neighbours New Svealand and the ever-growing Alquiyan Kingdom. The Kingdom would be thrust into World War I when the Alquiyan-led Nelbec Empire declared war with the goal of subjugating Lormotia into a pan-Nelbec state, but would end with Lormot victory and the collapse of the Nelbec Empire and the recreation of Alquiya and Seketan. In 1940, amid the Great Depression and rising tensions in the Nelborne, the Lormot monarchy was ousted by pro-Alquiyan Republicans. This coup and land disputes between Seketan and Alquiya lead to the Nelborne War in 1940, ending in Seketese political victory in 1942 and the restoration of the Lormot Monarchy. Post-war Lormotia saw a rise in industrialization and living standards, with the Nelbornes first universal healthcare system and publically funded universities.

Lormotia is a developed country with a strong economy based primarily on tertiary sectors with strong support from primary industries such as manufacturing. The country upholds high standards of living as a welfare state with education, universal healthcare, and quality of life. Lormotia is a member of the Nelbec Council and the Nelborne Union and has played a large role in intergovernmental activities in the Nelborne region. Despite previous negotiations, Lormotia is not part of the European Economic Area or the European Union, however, it is a member of the Council of Europe.
