**Alemannia**, formally the **Alemannian Confederation**, is a country located in Central [[evria]]. Bounded by the Tethys Sea to the Southeast, the North Sea to the Northwest and the Livonian Sea to the northeast, it borders Arvene to the south, [[skjarnland]] to the west, Turulia to the east, [[cortesia]] to the north, [[shivon]], Selmira and [[varahmehr]] through the Divian Territory and Kinshu through the Neuhollmar Territory. With a population exceeding 157.8 million people and 95.4 million people in its oversea territories, it is the eighth-most populous country before the ESU and after Hollosend. Mainland Alemannia is divided into 43 Federal States, 11 of them being City-States. The capital of Alemannia is Franmark with a population of roughly 801 thousand making it the 10th biggest city in the nation while its biggest city, Eisenfeld, has a population exceeding 5.1 million.
## Etymology
The name Alemannia derives from the Alemanni, a group of tribes that lived in the area of the borderlands with the Rumaic Empire. The word itself derives from the Proto-Alemannian word Alamann (of the Ala people). While for the common tongue it has the Rumaic -ia suffix, in most of the languages spoken in the country it has the Alemannian -ien suffix.
The name Alemannia was first officially used in the Holy Evrian Empire around the 13th Century to describe the Alemannian-speaking heartland of the Empire.
The Alemannian Confederation received its official name in 1931 after the reunification of the Archduchy of Arlbern, the Kingdom of Ymiria and the Federal Republic of Nordmark at the 2nd Conference of the Alemannian Nations on April 5, 1931.
## History
Early humans were present in Alemannia at least 600,000 years ago. The first fossil of a non-modern human was discovered in the Nonder Valley. Similarly ancient traces of modern humans have been found in the Suevian Jura, including ancient instruments such as flutes, prehistoric sculptures, and ivory figurines.
From southern Thule and western Alemannia, the Alemannic people spread eastward, southward, and northward, coming into contact with Celt, Livonian, and Velesi tribes. Eastern Alemannia was inhabited by Celt-speaking peoples who were later assimilated by the Alemannic conquerors.
Under Emperor [unknown], the Rumaic Empire began invading the territories inhabited by the Alemannic tribes and establishing the short-lived province of Alemannia between the Ymir and Visera rivers. In 6 AD, four Rumaic legions were defeated by Valerius at the Battle of the Ardenberg Forest. The outcome of this battle deterred the Rumaics from their campaign of conquest of Alemannia and is therefore considered one of the most significant events in the history of Evria. By ~150 AD, Alemannic tribes had settled along the Ymir and the Danau, occupying most of modern Alemannia. However the regions south of the Ymir and modern Hollmarien had been incorporated into Rumaic provinces.
Around 280 AD, Alemannic people invaded territories ruled by the Rumaics. After the Pannonian invasion in 380 AD and the decline of the Rumaic Empire from 400 AD onwards, Alemannic tribes moved further south. The Ymirians founded the Ymirian Kingdom and advanced north to subjugate Sakzia and Bairath. Areas of present-day northern Alemannia were settled by Southern Velesi tribes.
Louis the Pious of Aken founded the Akenauer Empire in 790, which was divided in 895 after the death of his son Charles. The empire split into the Kingdom of Ymiria under Arnold I, which encompassed the region around the Ymir River, Hollmarien, and Helvetien; the Kingdom of Sakzia under Louis II, which included most of present-day West Alemannia; and the Kingdom of Bairath under Sigismund I, which comprised the remaining territories of East Alemannia.
The following centuries were marked by dynastic instability and incursions by the northerners, but the Kings with help of a coalition of bishops, magnates, and nobles repeatedly restored royal authority. By the end of the 10th century, the Akens had consolidated their dominance, with King Adalhart II recodifying royal law and stabilizing the now reunified kingdom's borders.
In 1040, King Adalhart III was crowned the first Holy Evrian Emperor of the new imperial order at a large assembly in Akenau, founding the Holy Evrian Empire and thus beginning over a hundred years of uninterrupted rule by the Aken dynasty. The emperors of Aken used their imperial dignity to consolidate their domestic political authority while managing the empire's turbulent princely politics. However, the rise of the House of Luzilbourg, a branch of the Aken family, and the militarily powerful House of Falkenried led to increasing disputes over the imperial crown. At the Imperial Diet of Frankmark (1367), the electors voted by a majority to elect Duke Leopold I of Arlbern as emperor, thus ending three centuries of almost uninterrupted Ymirian imperial rule. Although Ymiria had lost formal prestige, it remained the richest territorial unit in the empire and its most influential voice in the Imperial Diet, with the kings of Aken occasionally being elected emperor again in the following centuries.
After the Čevarene Wars (1418-1432), which ended with the Peace of Pilzbrück, and the later Veritist Reformation of Felix Mührter (1520), which led to the Peace of Salzquell, as a result of which Čevarene Nazarism and Veristism were recognized under the principle of cuius regio, eius religio (ruler's faith dictates subjects' faith), the papal and ecclesiastical Nazarene influence in the Holy Evrian Empire decreased massively; since then they have only had their stronghold in the eastern and southern parts of Alemannia. From the Kollmar War through the Twenty Five Years' Wars (1616–1641), religious conflict devastated Alemannian lands and significantly reduced the population.
The Peace of Lippgau ended religious warfare among the Imperial Estates. The legal system initiated by a series of Imperial Reforms (approximately 1490-1560) provided for considerable local autonomy and a stronger Imperial Diet.
From around the 1730’s onwards, tripartism between the Kingdom of Ymiria, the Archduchy of Arlbern and the Kingdom of Nordmark dominated Alemannian history. During the period of the Arvenois Revolutionary Wars, the Nyapoleonic era and the subsequent final meeting of the Imperial Diet, most of the Free Imperial Cities were annexed by dynastic territories and the ecclesiastical territories were secularised and annexed. In 1805 the Holy Evrian Empire was dissolved following the fears that Nyapoleon would claim the Title of Holy Evrian Emperor himself to legitimize his rule over Alemannian lands.
Following the Fall of Nyapoleon, the congress of Berelstein restored the Holy Evrian Empire under the Nordmarken King Heinrich III, who had been Emperor of the HEE shortly before the dissolution of the Empire.
During the revolutionary movements of the 1850s, when the Emperor and Nordmark opposed attempts at liberalization, Ymiria and, to some extent, Arlbern cooperated and supported the liberalizing course of the movement.
In the decades following the revolutions of the 1850s, relations between Ymiria and Arlbern with the Imperial Government in Nordmark steadily deteriorated. Although all remained constituent states of the Holy Evrian Empire, their political systems and strategic interests increasingly diverged. Nordmark, supported by its smaller allies in western and central Alemannia, sought greater centralization of imperial power and the expansion of its military and bureaucratic control. Arlbern and Ymiria, on the other hand, defended the federal character of the empire and strove to preserve its constitutional order and internal autonomy.
These tensions repeatedly threatened the stability of the Holy Evrian Empire. Disputes over military command, taxation, and legislation led to repeated constitutional crises within the imperial institutions. Although open conflict was avoided, the long-term viability of peaceful coexistence between the realms remained uncertain at the beginning of the 20th century.
The outbreak of the Great War in 1914 temporarily suspended the internal conflicts of the Holy Evrian Empire. Faced with external threats, the states of the Empire mobilized under a joint war effort. Strategic responsibility was divided between the three main powers: Ymiria managed the southern front while Arlbern managed the north while Nordmark was active on both fronts.
In the early years of the war, the imperial forces achieved significant successes on both fronts. On the northern front, the armies led by Arlbern and Nordmark penetrated deep into enemy territory, while Ymiria's troops advanced against the Arvenois positions in the south. These early successes reinforced the impression of imperial unity and delayed the resolution of long-standing internal disputes.
From about 1916 onward, however, the strategic situation deteriorated. Persistent enemy resistance, shortages of supplies, and mounting losses gradually forced the imperial armies onto the defensive. Both the southern and northern fronts suffered setbacks, and in the final years of the war, the imperial forces were in retreat.
With the deteriorating military situation, internal political tensions within the Holy Evrian Empire resurfaced with renewed intensity. At the end of 1917, the Imperial government of Nordmark attempted to exploit wartime emergency legislation to further centralize imperial authority. Proposals were introduced to extend imperial control over military command, internal security, and civil administration, effectively extending Nordmark's authoritarian legal framework to the territories of Ymiria and Arlbern.
These measures were met with fierce resistance in both states. Political leaders, the press, and the lower house criticized what they saw as a violation of constitutional principles and imperial federalism. The conflict escalated into a breach of the constitution, and cooperation between Akenau and Veynach with Berelstein deteriorated rapidly.
Approximately six months before the end of the war, as defeat seemed increasingly inevitable, An armed conflict in Kolmar in April 1917 officially triggered the Holy Evrian Civil War, in which Ymiria and Arlbern turned against Nordmark while simultaneously negotiating separate peace terms with the Entente through the Provisional Agreements of Zurmark.
The Treaty of Franmark of 1918 ended both conflicts, resulting in the official dissolution of the Holy Evrian Empire. Ymiria was not subject to any military restrictions but had to pay war reparations and cede Belgica, Luzilbourg, and Elsringen to Arvene. Arlbern suffered no territorial losses but also had to pay war reparations and reduce its navy. Nordmark, like Ymiria and Arlbern, also had to pay war reparations, lost territory to Cortesia, and was subject to certain military restrictions.
In the 1920s, cooperation between the three states remained limited due to the aftermath of the Holy Evrian Civil War and the general geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the future development of the Alemannian nations. This changed, however, in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Regional instability in Evria, resulting from regional conflicts and civil wars, forced the Alemannian nations to set aside old disputes and cooperate more closely. This led to the founding of the Akenauer Bund in 1930 and the reunification of the nations under the Alemannian Confederation following the Second Conference of the Alemannian Nations on April 5, 1931. At this conference, the three rulers of Nordmark, Ymiria, and Arlbern agreed to unite the nations under a free and democratic federal republic.
## Military
The Federal Armed Forces (Bundesstreitkräfte) is the country's joint military force and consists of three branches: the Federal Army (Alemannian: Bundesheer), the Federal Navy (Alemannian: Bundesmarine), and the Federal Air Force (Alemannian: Bundesluftstreitkräfte). During peacetime, the Bundesstreitkräfte is commanded by the Federal Council collectively. In a State of Emergency, the legislature elects a General as supreme military commander for the duration of the emergency. The Federal Armed Forces consists of an active personnel of 1,420,200 people, 852,120 of whom are in the army, 312,444 in the navy, and 255,636 in the air force. The total budget of the Federal Armed Forces is $459.8 Billion. Conscription applies to all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 for a period of 10 months.
The Federal Armed Forces in their current form was established in August 1931 after the completed integration of the Ymirian Royal Armed Forces, the Archducal Arlbernian Armed Forces and the Nordmarken Armed Forces into one united Armed Force structure. While the Bundesstreikräfte were not directly involved in a conflict so far, most forces in the Armed forces participated in the 2nd Turulian War and Operation Monsoon during the times of the Akenauer Bund. As of 1932, it operates currently mostly alone but close cooperation with the Nichirian Army still continues to exist as continuation from the now defunct [[mizuhara]] Pentapartite.
## Government
The Alemannian Confederation is a federal, democratic parliamentary republic established following the adoption of the Federal Constitution of 1932. This constitution created a decentralized system of government based on the principles of popular sovereignty, federal autonomy, and a collective executive. The government is organized federally, with political power divided between the central government and the federal states, although the state governments retain significant legislative and administrative powers. Executive power rests with the Federal Council (Bundesrat), a collegial body of elected members who together constitute the head of state and government. The office of the President of the Federal Council rotates annually and is primarily ceremonial, while executive decisions are made collectively. The Federal Council oversees the national administration through a network of ministries responsible for foreign affairs, defense, finance, internal affairs, justice, economy, infrastructure, agriculture, and education and culture.
Legislation is the responsibility of the Federal Assembly (Bundesversammlung), a bicameral parliament consisting of the National Council (Nationalrat) and the Council of States (Staatenrat). The National Council represents the population of the Confederation according to proportional representation, while the Council of States represents the states and safeguards regional autonomy. Laws require the approval of both chambers before they come into force. Referendums and citizens' initiatives allow citizens to participate directly in national decision-making. The judiciary is independent of the executive and legislative branches. The Federal Supreme Court (Oberster Gerichtshof des Bundes) is the highest judicial instance. Courts operate at the federal, state, and local levels and deal with constitutional, civil, criminal, and administrative matters. Judges are elected according to constitutional provisions and are obligated to uphold federal law and constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Administratively, the Alemannian Confederation is divided into 43 federal states, each with its own constitution, parliament, government, and judiciary. The federal government is responsible for national defense, foreign policy, currency, customs, and international affairs, while the regional governments are responsible for education, policing, culture, and local government.
## Economy
The Alemannian Confederation is a high-income welfare capitalist economy. It is one of the world's top six economies by purchasing power parity, with a national GDP estimated at $9.6 trillion, and a GDP per capita of approximately $61,090. The nation accounts for roughly 6% of global GDP, with an unemployment rate around 4.2% and low inflation, supported by disciplined fiscal policy, a broad tax base, and a controlled money supply. The Ymirian economy operates under a regulated capitalist model that combines free-market mechanisms with strong government oversight in key sectors and comprehensive social policies, achieving a balance between industrial productivity and public welfare.
The economy is highly industrialized, with the industrial sector accounting for approximately 40% of GDP. Key industrial centers are located in Kollmar-Eisenfeld, Valdoria, Randstadt, Bairath and along the Ymir-Main corridor. Major industries include mechanical engineering and heavy industry, automotive manufacturing, precision mechanics, and electronics. The service sector, encompassing finance, trade, transport, and logistics, contributes about 38% to GDP, with its main centers in almost all major cities like Franmark, Randstadt, and Zürmark. Agriculture, forestry, and raw material extraction contribute approximately 22% to GDP and are concentrated in the Hollmarian Lowlands, the West Alemannian Plains and the Arlbernian and Valdorian Basin. This sector is supported by a high degree of mechanization and investment in regional infrastructure.
The most important economic sectors include the automotive and heavy machinery industry in Sturnheim, Mürrental, Prauvenberg and the Ymir-Main industrial area, precision mechanics, optics and electronics in Franmark, Berelstein, Kollmar and Zurmark, port logistics, trade and financial services in Randstadt, Hammersburg, Amberdam and Bersel, and agricultural production in Hollmar, Veenglade, Silmarien and the Helvetia lowlands, which covers domestic demand and enables exports.
### Labor Force
The domestic labor force of Alemannia totaled 91.5 million people in 1931, representing approximately 58% of the mainland population. In the same year, 22% of the working population was employed in the primary sector (agriculture, forestry, fishing, traditional crafts, etc.), 40% in the secondary sector (mining, manufacturing, steel production, shipbuilding, textiles, construction, etc.), and 38% in the tertiary sector (banking, trade, transportation, administration, etc.). The unemployment rate in 1931 was estimated at 4.2%, 0.7% lower than the average unemployment rate for the Alemannian nations of 4.9% in mid-1920. This decline was due to strong industrial demand resulting from the post-war economic recovery and government-sponsored modernization programs. The largest industrial companies, banking institutions and state-owned corporations employed millions of workers in the main economic regions of the Confederation, especially in the industrial centers of the Ymir-Rul area, Valdoria, Helvetien, Hollmarien and Arlbern.
A growing concern for the Alemannian labor market is the demographic imbalance between the rapidly growing industrial and commercial centers and the shrinking rural population. Rural exodus has accelerated since the late 19th century, with millions of workers migrating from agricultural regions to industrial towns such as Berelstein, Zürmark, Amberdam, Randstadt, Veynach, Prauvenburg, Hammersburg, and the Ymir-Rul metropolitan area, encompassing cities like Eisenfeld and Kolmar. While this migration has fueled industrial expansion and economic growth in the cities, it has also contributed to labor shortages in some agricultural regions and increased population pressure in the major cities. The governments of the Alemannian nations responded with agricultural modernization programs, regional development initiatives, and investments in rural infrastructure to maintain productivity outside the major cities. Immigration remained low compared to other industrial powers, as the high wages and strong domestic labor supply of the Confederation and its predecessor state reduced the need for large-scale recruitment of foreign workers. Foreign workers entering the Confederation were primarily employed in industrial manufacturing, mining, construction, and shipping, where the demand for skilled and unskilled workers remained consistently high.
## Geography
### Topography
The Alemannian Confederation covers approximately 650,533 square kilometers and encompasses a geographically diverse and historically strategically important territory. Its topography is characterized by alpine plateaus, rolling hills, fertile river basins, and coastal lowlands. The kingdom stretches from the North Sea and Livonian Sea coast in the west to the Alps and the Tethys Sea in the southeast, with the Ymir, the Danau, and other major rivers shaping much of its landscape and settlement structure.
The southern regions, comprising the Alps and the Sueviani and Bairathian Highlands, form an imposing natural barrier that rises steeply from the coast to the Tethys Ocean. The coastal areas transition from narrow sea plains to steep Alpine slopes, characterized in places by cliffs and fjord-like formations. The peaks of the Alps and the foothills of the Silver Forest often reach altitudes of over 2,500 meters and are marked by rugged glacial valleys, mountain passes, and Alpine lakes. The coast provides access to the world's largest ocean, the Tethys Sea, making Alemannia a significant maritime power with naval ports concentrated around cities such as Triestburg, Klagenhafen, and Lugenpier. These areas are sparsely populated; settlements are concentrated in the valleys, along the coast, and along the rivers. The southern highlands serve as a source of rivers and hydroelectric power while also providing fertile slopes for vineyards and pastures at lower elevations.

Further northwest, the central plains and river basins extend across states such as Ymirauen, Hessarien, Franken, Valdoria, Dravia, and northern Arlberg. This region is characterized by rolling hills, wooded mountain ranges, fertile plains, and the valleys of the Ymir, Maine, Danau, Alvis, Vlotau, and Drava rivers. The Ymir forms the country's most important trade waterway, connecting the industrial centers of the Ymir-Rul with the North Sea ports, while the Danau represents a significant east-west transport corridor through the Alpine foothills. Tributaries such as the Seig, Arl, Isenlauf, and Saale interweave the industrial, agricultural, and urban landscapes of Alemannia.

The eastern lowlands, which span from western Veenglade on the North Sea to Vistgarde on the Livonian Sea, consist of vast plains, polders, coastal marshes, and extensive river deltas. These regions are traversed by the river systems of the Lower Ymir, Lah, Ersel, Visera, and Alvis, creating some of Evria's most fertile agricultural land and densely populated urban areas. Centuries of land reclamation, canal construction, and hydraulic engineering have transformed large swathes of Hollmar's coastline into productive farmland while simultaneously facilitating inland navigation, trade, and industrial development in the lower river basins.

</div>
The northern region, stretching from Havelland through Silmarien to the former northern territories in Cortesia, are characterized by wide plains, gently rolling hills, mixed forests, and fertile farmland. Abundant coal deposits and other mineral resources form the basis for intensive industrial activity, while the Arder and upper Viste river systems ensure regional transport and irrigation. The combination of fertile soils, abundant natural resources, and well-developed railway networks has made the northern regions, especially Silmarien, one of the country's most important centers for agriculture, mining, and heavy industry.
Forests cover large parts of the Alps, the Silver Forest, the Bairathian Forest, the Valdorian Forest, and the central Alemannian Uplands, while extensive agricultural plains characterize the East Alemannian Lowlands, the Hollmarien polders, the Danau Basin, and the fertile lowlands of Valdoria and Dravia. Major urban centers are concentrated along rivers, coasts, and historic trade routes, where favorable geographic location has fostered industrialization, maritime trade, and dense population. Mountainous regions are comparatively sparsely populated and primarily serve forestry, hydropower, tourism, and alpine agriculture.
Alemannia also administers several overseas territories and peripheral island territories that do not belong to the mainland regions, such as Divia, Neuhollmar, Kogelland, Kienam, the Dämmerungs Islands, the Sankt Gerold Island, the Island of Hochbrunn-am-Saharameer, the Gonenitic Islands and the Andam Islands.
### Climate
Ymira has a predominantly temperate climate, with notable regional variations shaped by topography, altitude, and its proximity to the North and Livonian Sea, the multiple river basins like the Ymir, Danau and Elvas, and the Alps. Climate zones range from maritime-oceanic (Cfb) in the northern and western lowlands, through humid-continental (Dfb) in the central interior, to alpine (Dfc) in the southern highlands and the Alps.
The eastern and western coastal provinces, including states like Hollmar, Halvorn, and the Ymir Delta, as well as the Helvetien coast directly on the Tethys Sea, have a maritime-oceanic climate. Winters are mild, summers cool, and rainfall is frequent and evenly distributed throughout the year. Northerly winds and winds from the Tethys Sea moderate temperature fluctuations, resulting in fertile soils and enabling intensive agriculture in the lowlands.
Central Alemannia has a predominantly continental climate. Winters are colder with occasional snowfall, while summers are warm with periodic thunderstorms. Seasonal temperature variations are more pronounced than in the coastal regions, and summer temperatures in the central river valleys can exceed 25°C. Precipitation is moderate and evenly distributed, though somewhat higher in the river basins and forested uplands.
The Alps and Prealps have a mountain and alpine climate. These areas are characterized by long, snowy winters, cool summers, and high precipitation, especially at higher elevations. The snow cover in the valleys can persist well into late spring, providing ideal conditions for winter sports, alpine pastures, and hydroelectric power plants.
Annual rainfall in the confederation varies between 700 and 1,500 mm, with the Alps and the Silver Forest Highlands being the wettest areas. The western lowlands and inland plateaus receive comparatively less rainfall but are still sufficiently moist for agriculture and livestock farming. Average temperatures in January in the interior and lowlands range from 0 to 3 °C, rising to 18–22 °C in July, with summers being cooler in the higher elevations.
### Human Geography
According to the latest census, the Alemannian Confederation has an estimated 157.8 million inhabitants, making it in terms of population the most populated nation in Evria when not counting colonial territories. Population density in comparison to other bigger nations in Evria is highly uneven and spread out, with the highest concentrations in industrial and urban regions such as the Ymir-Rul corridor, the Ymir-Main industrial belt, the Hollmarien urban centers of Amberdam and Randstadt, the Visera-Alvis area, the main city and the suburbs of Berelstein and the Bairatian metropolitan area around Mürrental. In contrast, alpine areas, forested highlands, rural river valleys like in Badenhain, Suevien and southern Helvetien and rural plains like in northern Alemannia, especially Havelland remain more sparsely populated.
## Demographics
### Ethnic Groups
The majority of the population is Alemannian with 87.2% of the population but officially are divided in their regional dialects and identity, with the largest single group being Nordmarken, comprising approximately 16% of the total population. Other significant Alemannian groups include Bairathian and Hollmarien at 10.50% each, Arlbernian at 10%, and North Alemannians at 9.50%.
The biggest Non-Alemannian ethnic group are the Čevarini with 4.8% that are concentrated in Valdoria and Dravia. Smaller Non-Alemannian groups include Cortesians (1%) in the north, Hasmonean communities (~0.8%) in urban centers such as Amberdam, Franmark, and Kollmar, and other minorities, concentrated in industrial or cosmopolitan areas.
### Languages
Linguistically, Standard Alemannic is the predominantly spoken language in Alemannia and is used nationwide for government administration, education, and the media, while Hollmarien and Čevarini are also recognized as official languages of the country, although they are mostly used only in their respective regions. However, nationwide government constitutions and media outlets generally offer translations in both languages. Depending on the region they come from, most citizens are fluent in either one or two of the three languages. Regional languages include several Alemannian dialects like Halvorian, Suevian and Low Alemannian, which are used locally and are recognized but are only used at a local level.
### Religion
The country is predominantly Nazarist. Approximately 48.6% of the population professes Veritism, 48.3% professes Ecclesiarchic Nazarism and around 0.5% professes Čevarene Nazarism who for the most majority all are in the regions of Valdoria and Dravia. Hasmoneaist communities make up about 0.8%, while other religions and secular individuals make up the rest.
### Citizenship
Alemannian citizenship is granted according to jus sanguinis, which means that a person's citizenship is determined by the nationality of their parents and not by their place of birth. Although this means that a person born in Alemannia whose parents are not from Alemannia does not obtain Alemannia citizenship, there are exceptions in some cases, for example if the parents have lived in Alemannia for more than 10 years.
