Lyncanestria (Audonic: Lyncanestrie, /linkɑ̃'stʁi/), officially the Empire of Lyncanestria (Audonic: Empire de Lyncanestrie), is a sovereign state in Ajax, located on the continent of Belisaria. The country shares seven land borders—Norday and Ottonia to the north, Liothidia and Vannois to the east, Gelonia, Lihnidos and Latium to the south—and one maritime border—Arthurista. Since 1959, Lyncanestria has been part of the Belisarian Community.
Etymology
History
Prehistory
The first traces of hominid migration into modern Lyncanestria occurred approximately 1.8 million years ago as early hunter-gatherer societies moved from Scipia and Ochran. Throughout prehistoric times the Lyncanestrian region was harsher, and affected by numerous glacial eras. Archaeologists have found tools dating from around 70,000 B.C.E. indicating specialization. The Gémus mountains are home to numerous decorated caves dating to the upper Paleolithic era. By 6,000 B.C.E., the peoples of the Lyncanestrian basin had become sedentary and began agricultural civilization.
Early history
Lyncanestrian antiquity is characterized by numerous Audonic chieftains vying for regional supremacy. In the X century, Latin military presence began to subjugate and annex Lyncanestria into their empire.

The Diet is a bicameral body, comprising the lower Chamber of Deputies with 641 seats, elected by popular vote every five years; and the upper Federal Council with 115 seats, whose members are appointed by the legislatures of the states which they represent for three year terms. The representative government operates in conjunction with a constitutional monarch, who is is elected by the Federal Council and serves for life. The power of the monarch is mostly ceremonial, and primarily serves as a figurehead for national unity. Executive power is wielded chiefly by the Prime Minister and his Council.

Population
Lyncanestria's population was 63,854,527 in the 2015 national census. In recent years, natural population growth has decreased, though the birth rate remains positive. The fertility rate in Lyncanestria in 2016 was 1.89. Today, most population change is due to immigration. As of 2019, the population is estimated at 67.2 million.
Ethnically, most Lyncanestrians are of Audonic-Celtic origin, with admixture of Italic and Germanic groups going back to the early second and third centuries C.E. Immigration in recent years has led to the creation of a more multicultural society, as the percentage of people who are foreign-born or have foreign-born parents has seen a steady rise.
