Aloria (Yr Alôr), officially known as the Kingdom of Aloria (Cymerian: Teyrnas yr Alôr; Dundorfian: Königreich Alorien), is a country in Northern Artania. Located on the northwestern Artanian coast, Aloria is bordered by Dorvik to the north, Kirlawa to the east, Dundorf and Rutania to the south and the Red Bass Ocean to the west.

Aloria has since ancient times been populated by the Dradic people, of which the Cymerians are the dominant in Aloria. Since the early middle ages parts of Aloria have been settled by various Dunic peoples. For a time Aloria was the centre of an Empire that spanned much of north Artania but eventually collapsed due to foreign invasion and rebellions. The first unified Alorian kingdom emerged in the 13th century and culminated in the so-called "Alorian golden age" in the 18th and 19th century. However the region eventually came under the influence and control of the Dundorfian Empire.

After regaining independence, the country remained a monarchy until the end of the 21st century when the first Alorian republic was formed. Over the following centuries, the country struggled to achieve political stability and was the victim of significant inter-communal tension between the Cymerian majority and the sizeable Dundorfian minority.

In cultural terms, Aloria is unusual due its long-standing history of being composed of two similarly-sized ethno-linguistic groups. Cymerian and Dundorfian people each have distinct traditions, remaining distinct in many areas of public life including entertainment and culture. Ethnic divisions in Aloria are similarly reflected in the country's religious background where most Cymerians are members of the Alorian Hosian Church while Dundorfians are divided between it and Ameliorate Abjurantism.

Etymology[]

The etymology of Aloria (Yr Alôr in Cymerian) is not certain. It most likely derives from the Dradic tribe of the Allobrigi (Allobrogoi), which originally meant "foreigners" or "exiled", indicating they may have originated elsewhere. A minority theory believes the name of the nation comes from Alaricus Aurelius, the Seluco-Dunic general who conquered southern Aloria in 510 CE. His own name is of Dunic origin, and is formed of Ala "everyone's" and ric "ruler".

In modern times a new fringe theory emerged deriving the name of the nation from the Alorian word lloer meaning "moon". As a result Aloria was briefly known as Loer in Alorian. This theory has since been discredited and Aloria reverted to its original name Yr Alôr.

In the Dradic languages of Aloria the name is always preceded by a definite article, i.e. yr Alôr in Cymerian and an Alor in Ultranian and Sildarian.

Aloria occupies Artania's northwest corner, sharing borders with Dorvik, Kirlawa, Dundorf and Rutania. The Red Bass Ocean forms the north-west and south-west cost of the country.

Aloria has five regions: Caermoel (Kurmal) in the east, Gavonia in the south-east, Crentol in the south, Sildar in the west and Ultran in the north.

Biodiversity[]

Aloria has a varied topography. A broad, flat coastal plain lines the Red bass Ocean shores from the Alorian-Rutanian border to the City of Ceres, and includes the Sildar peninsula. Areas further inland feature rolling hills and temperate forests, most notably Sildar Forest. The Yellow Mountains form a line of low mountains separating the western seaboard from the Midwest. Western Aloria contain subtropical forests and, near the CrentolRiver Delta, mangrove wetlands, especially in Cymertraeth. Along the coast of the Sildar Penisula is a series of low mountain ranges known as the Sildarian Coast Ranges. Much of the Alorian Northeast coast is inhabited by some of the densest vegetation, as well as some very fertile valleys.

East of the Yellow Mountains and the Cawnlaran River lies the Great Plains, also known as the Midwest. The Midwest, between the Cawnlaran River, Crentol River and Ultran River, consist largely of rolling hills and productive farmland. A large portion of the country's agricultural products are grown in the Great Plains. Before their general conversion to farmland, the Great Plains were noted for their extensive grasslands, from tall grass prairie in the western plains to short grass steppe in the eastern plains. Elevation rises gradually from less than a few hundred feet near the Cawnlaran River to more than a mile high in the east near the Verita River.

The Great Plains come to an abrupt end at the Caermoel Mountains. The Caermoel Mountains form a large portion of Eastern Aloria, entering from Dorvik and stretching to Dundorf. The Kurmal Mountains are a high, rugged, and dense mountain range. It contains the highest point of the country, Mount Belmore,(14,505 ft; 4,421 m).

Climate[]

Due to its northern location, Aloria has mostly a Humid Continental climate. Its comparatively generous climate contributed (in part) to the country's rise as stable economy, with infrequent severe drought in the major agricultural regions, a general lack of widespread flooding, and a mainly temperate climate that receives adequate precipitation.

The main influence on Alorian weather is the polar jet stream, which brings in large low pressure systems from the northern Verranderlijke Ocean.

The Sildar Coastal Range and Yellow Mountains pick up most of the moisture from these systems as they move eastward. Greatly diminished by the time they reach the Great Plains, much of the moisture has been sapped by the orthographic effect as it is forced over several mountain ranges. However, once it moves over the Great Plains, uninterrupted flat land allows it to reorganize and can lead to major clashes of air masses. In addition, moisture from the Krentori River Delta is often drawn northward. When combined with a powerful jet stream, this can lead to violent thunderstorms, especially during spring and summer. Sometimes during late winter and spring these storms can combine with another low pressure system as they move up the North Coast and into the Verranderlijke Ocean, where they intensify rapidly. These storms often bring widespread, heavy snowfall in Ultran. The uninterrupted flat grasslands of the Ultran Plains also leads to some of the most extreme climate swings in the world. Temperatures can rise or drop rapidly and winds can be extreme, and the flow of heat waves or Arctic air masses often advance uninterrupted through the plains

Politics and Government[]

The Republic of Aloria is structured as a parliamentary Republic with a unicameral legislature, the Federal Assembly, and an Head of State, the President, directly elected through popular vote who shares executive duties with the Chairman of the Federal Council who chairs the cabinet, the top-level collegial decision-making body of the Alorian Government.

The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances and there are three levels of government in the Alorian system: national, regional, and local.

Executive power is vested in the President who shares powers with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, who are chosen and appointed by the legislature after every election.

Legislative power is held and exercised by the Federal Assembly. They make law, ratify treaties, and approve the appointment of the Cabinet. Members of the legislature are elected through a proportional system based on 5 costituencies for a four-year term. Judicial power rests with the Supreme Court of Aloria and lower regional courts. The members of the Supreme Court are appointed by an independent commission, and are independent of the executive and legislative branches

Population[]

Main article: Alorian people

The most populous areas are in the north and east. The northern region consists of the largest and most populated cities in the country. 25% of the population lives in the province of Ultran. The highest population is concentrated around the cities of Ultran and Port Freiheit, which is one of the largest cities in the country.

The province of Caermoel, the largest province of Aloria, is also very highly populated, although most of the population is concentrated in the southern part of the region, while the Caermoel Mountain area is mostly populated by small mining cities. In Gavonia, Sildar and Crentol the most populated areas are only concentrated in and around the large cities.

Culture and demographics[]

Aloria is ethnically divided between the Alorian Dradic people, which include the Cymerian, Ultranian, and Sildarian peoples, and the minority Dundorfian people. Alorian Dundorfians have a culture and a language distinct from those of Dundorf, and as such they are sometimes considered a distinct ethnic group. Religiously Alorians belong to two main Hosian denominations, the Alorian Hosian Church, a Septentrine church native to Aloria, and the Federation of Abjurant Churches in Aloria, an ecumenical body uniting Ameliorate and Confessional Abjurants. Most Abjurants in Aloria are Ameliorate.

Fruits and vegetables made up 4% of exports: apples, pears and grapes in the Sildarian Central Valley and in Gavonshire, but are mostly grown for domestic consumption. Aloria is Artania's fourth-largest wine producer, and fine wine production has taken major leaps in quality. A growing export, total viticulture potential is far from having been met.

Logging and mining[]

Forestry has long history in every Alorian state but Sildar, accounting for 2% of exports. The Aloria Mineral is the biggest Minning Company in Aloria. It is currently minning in Hutori for Iron.It also owns & runs various mines in Coermoel.Aloria Mineral Corporation It has recently sold off its Mines to Lodamun, Endralon,Davostan.

Another lucrative business in Aloria is the mining industry, which is concentrated mostly in the east of the country, in the mountainous area of Kurmal, were lots of iron, copper and bauxite are found. Mining continues to be important to Aloria’s economy. Natural gas has supplanted iron, copper and bauxite as the country’s most valuable natural commodity. Aloria has some of the largest natural gas reserves in the world.

Industry[]

Alorian manufacturing is highly diversified and makes up the bulk of employment in the Alorian economy. Main industries are steel, motor vehicles, aerospace, telecommunications, chemicals, electronics, consumer goods, lumber, mining.

In Aloria, the bulk of research and development funding comes from the private sector. Aloria has a large number of patents and scientific research papers for its development level. The San Antonio Valley, more colloquially known as 'Tech Valley', is the center of the computer industry in Aloria.

Aloria Investment & Finance Board (AFib)is one of the largest finance company in Artania & Internationally

Manufacturing is the nation's second largest sector in the economy (21.5% of GDP in 2705). Nearly half the nation's industries are in and around Sildar, though Ceres and Ultran are also home to significant industrial centers.

Freiheit and the surrounding region constitute a major manufacturing center, most notably as home to the Alorian automobile industry. These areas are accustomed to the economic cycles of the auto industry. A rise in automated manufacturing using robot technology, inexpensive labor in other parts of the world, and increased competition have led to a steady transformation of certain types of manufacturing jobs in the region. Aloria has a sizeable automotive industry. The Alorian steel and mining industry makes cars in Aloria cheap to build, as they are close to raw materials.

The metropolitan area in and around Freiheit forms the commercial heart of the country. The megalopolis homes many of Aloria's largest multinational companies.

Energy[]

Aloria is energy self-sufficient for the most part. The country’s energy needs are relatively small but growing consistently. Aloria uses natural gas for the majority of its power needs, followed by hydroelectricity. The country has large reserves of both. Aloria’s crude natural gas deposits are located in six geological basins along the Northern coast and in the Sildarian central valleys.

Natural gas-fired power plants typically account for more than one-half of Aloria's electricity generation. The states of Sildar and Krentori are the largest hydroelectric power producers in Aloria, and with adequate rainfall, hydroelectric power typically accounts for close to one-fifth of nation's electricity generation. Substantial geothermal and wind power resources are found along the coastal mountain ranges and the Midwest.

Tourism and entertainment[]

Tourism is a large industry in Aloria. In winter, the ski resorts of the Caermoel Mountains host skiers from around the globe. The many ski resorts form an upscale tourist center. In the summer, many tourists visit the summer camps in the idyllic scenery of the Caermoel Mountains and the Palisade Hills in Gavonshire. Trout fishing, lake fishing and hiking draw outdoor enthusiasts to eastern Aloria.

There are lot of iconic Landmarks in Aloria.

The Sancti Vincentii movie industry is one of the leading makers of movies and television shows in the Draddwyr and Dundorfian speaking worlds, and has made many well known and classic movies, as well as being the home of many notable record companies.

Education[]

The biggest Alorian Universities are

  1. Ivy University
  2. Rothenfeller University
  3. Wilhelm Flöchter University

The education system in the Democratic Republic of Aloria is composed of elementary education (Grades I-VI), lower secondary education (Grades VII-IX), upper secondary education (Year I-IV), and tertiary or college education.

The system was adopted from the Revised Elementary and Secondary Level System Act of 2927 and Revised Elementary and Secondary Curriculum Act of 2927, which was initiated by Arnel Tarmando, then Minister of Education and Culture. The current legislation is a revision of the Elementary and Secondary Curriculum Proposal of 2694 and the Elementary and Secondary Level System Act of 2694, which was initiated by Jess Paul, who was also Minister of Education and Culture at that time.

The new system was adopted since the age limit of compulsory education had been increased to 18 years old.
