Endralon (syl: Ndrálon listen), officially Democratic People's Republic of Endralon (syl: Endraloni Demokratikus Népköztársaság listen), often called as Socialist Endralon or DPRE, sometimes since 5100, the Democratic People's Republic of Endralon is a country located on the Northeast Artanian Peninsula, as the easternmost country of the Artanian continent and is bordered by the ocean to the north, south and east, and shares its only land border, with Kundrati, to the west. With about 70 million inhabitants, Endralon is medium-sized country in the Artanian community. Endralon has three official languages, the Syldavian, the Zergonese and the Hugalonese.

Endralon is a parliamentary-directorial hybrid republic, with the incorporation of semi-direct democratic and parliamentary elements. It has five large Republican Cantons, with medium autonomy, but under the federal government; by the name Zergon, Efínia, Hugalon, Alt-Ginbár and Kundár-Nova Zergonska. The federal government centering in the capital city at Hugamest, what is the place of the residency of the Endralonian Head of State, Government and Legislature. Based on recent reports of International Democracy Index, Endralon is a flawed democracy, nearer to the full democracy status than the hybrid regime status.

The DR is one of Terra's 11 largest economies, a high-income economy, especially based on private corporations, what companies satisfying the relatively free internal Endralonian market with their products. Furthermore, that kind of giant multinational and transnational private corporations like 3M or LTG, also registered in Endralon, and with it the DR have great authority over many foreign markets also.

Endralon is the member of the Northeast-Artanian Covenant Treaty Organization, the Artanian League and the World Congress, and many other minor diplomatic, economic or political organizations as an important member of the international community.

Etymology

The word Ndrálon possibly created during the Syldavian Conquest, when the Syldavian tribes conquered the territory of the current Endralon. They called that place where they first landed in somewhere the nowadays North-Zergon, Ndrál, what possible was could be an onomatopoeic word. In Syldavian, Ndrálon meant something like "on Ndrál". So the Syldavian name of the country is probably a salute over the place where the Syldavian tribes landed.

During the Rontin Occupation of the peninsula, the word Ndrálon could get it Luthorian equivalent, Endralon. Later, the most of Terran countries used this word as an example for their own expression to Endralon, just like Canrillaise used Endralaise, the Hugalonese used Endžralska, the Zergonese used Endralska, the Dundorfian used Endralien and etcetera.
