'''Aranthia''', officially known as the '''Kingdom of Aranthia''', is a nation situated in southern [[Aurora]]. It shares borders with six countries: [[Qayam]], [[Valeria]], [[Drakaland]], [[Sarentria]], [[Asilica]], and [[Rosalica]]. The Azure Sea forms the southern boundary of Aranthia. The kingdom comprises the four [[W:Monarchy|monarchical]] [[W:Vassal|feudatory]] [[W:Principality|principalities]] of [[Coilletir]], [[ChostalamAntseanndeas]], [[VarasunaDwynmar]] and [[DurohameNuathuaid]], and eighteen integral counties, encompassing a total land area of [insert land area], with a population of 72.8 million as of January 2024. Aranthia is a [[W:Unitary system|unitary]] [[W:Parliamentary system|parliamentary]] [[W:Constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]], with its capital located in [[Faelarien]], the largest city and the primary cultural and commercial hub of the country. Other significant urban centres include Lanntair, Aisling, Cultaruain and Cuileah.

Today, Aranthia stands as a beacon of Elven heritage, boasting a rich tapestry of Arcturian and Usprian influences that permeate its art, architecture, and traditions. The kingdom's parliamentary system, embodied in the [[Ocombë]], includes a Senate appointed by the [[ChancellorPrime Minister of Aranthia|ChancellorPrime Minister]] (known officially as the Seansalair) and [[Monarchy of Aranthia|Monarch]] and an elected Hall of Commons. Faelarien, the capital, is renowned not only as the political heart but also as a cultural and economic center, reflecting Aranthia’s blend of historical legacy and modern innovation. The nation continues to play a pivotal role in regional politics and trade, upholding its legacy as a unified, culturally rich Elven kingdom.

The Aranthian Renaissance years saw the foundation of the [[Council of Aranthia]] (1468 - 1820), pioneered by the king Aelion I of Coilletir and ChostalamDwynmar. The council, despite the raging wars between the various elven kingdoms, was the Aranthian establishment's first small step to creating a united elven convent on Aurora. Many see the Council of Aranthia as the Kingdom's natural predecessor.

The Final Years of the Durohamic Wars refer to the closing phase of a protracted conflict that engulfed the kingdoms of Coilletir, ChostalamDwynmar, VarasunaAntseanndeas, and DurohameNuathuaid from the 18th to the 19th centuries. These kingdoms, once flourishing centers of culture and power in the region, became embroiled in a series of relentless struggles driven by territorial disputes, resource competition, and dynastic ambitions.

Among the notable engagements were the Battle of Venshore in 1723, where the forces of VarasunaDwynmar clashed fiercely with those of ChostalamAntseanndeas, resulting in a decisive victory for VarasunaDwynmar. Another pivotal moment was the Siege of DurohameFort Durohami in 1789, a prolonged and brutal campaign that saw the combined forces of Coilletir and ChostalamDwynmar besiege the capital city of DurohameAntseanndeas, ultimately leading to its capitulation.

As the Durohamic Wars came to a close, the newly united kingdoms of Coilletir and DurohameDwynmar found themselves beginning to rapidly industrialize, mainly in larger urban areas and in settlements that had access to the Azure Sea. Up until 1805, the Aranthians had mainly prided themselves on a rich agrarian culture, and many towns and cities in the area wanted to preserve said culture.

Aranthia operates as a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, blending monarchical tradition with democratic governance. The [[Monarchy of Aranthia|Monarch]], a hereditary and ceremonial head of state, embodies national unity and continuity, performing ceremonial duties and granting royal assent to legislation. The legislative power resides in the [[Ocombë]], a bicameral parliament consisting of the Senate and the Hall of Commons. The Senate, with members appointed by the [[SeansalairPrime of Aranthia|Chancellor]]Minister and the Monarch, reviews legislation, while the elected Hall of Commons proposes and debates laws.

The executive branch is led by the SeansalairPrime (lit. chancellor)Minister, who serves as the head of government, overseeing national policy and the administration of laws. The judiciary, independent and impartial, ensures justice and constitutional compliance, with the High Court as the highest authority. Despite its unitary nature, Aranthia’s governance includes eighteen integral counties, each managed by locally elected councils, addressing regional needs in line with national policies. The Concordat of Aranthia enshrines the principles of democracy, justice, and the rule of law, ensuring a balanced and adaptable government.
