The '''Ethaln League''' is the official body for formal inter-parliamentary co-operation amongst the [[Ethalns|Ethaln]] countries. Formed in 2019, it has 90 representatives from [[Asilica]], [[DurentriaDrakaland]], [[Faethalria]], [[Kothalria]], [[Sarentria]], and [[Vothetria]]. The representatives are members of parliament in the respective countries or areas and are elected by those parliaments. The League holds ordinary sessions each year in February and March and usually another additional session per year with a specific theme. The Leagues’ official languages are [[wikipedia:German|Ethalrian]] and [[wikipedia:Romansch|Asilican]]. The two languages are the first language of over 89% of the region’s population and are learned as a second language by the remaining 11%.

The League was founded in 2019, largely as a response to increased political cooperation among Auroran nations and a concern among member-states that Ethalrian identity could be lost among the larger membership of the [[UNAC]]. The primary work establishing the League was undertaken at a summit of the member-states that was held in RivendaleRibenstadt, Faethalria in February of 2019.

The idea was immediately popular among most of the Ethaln nations, which until 2017 had been united within a single country. Notably not invited to the summit in RivendaleRibenstadt was [[Thalria]], due to their lack of a democratic system of government. Asilica, a neutral nation of South Ethalrians with a distinct identity from the Ethalrian ethnic group, was never part of the Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria but agreed to join in the interest of furthering “regional peace, cooperation, and economic and cultural ties.”
