<!-- Economy and global perspective -->
While small, Veria is a considerable regional power with a prospering economy, of which very little goes to military expenses. Veria maintains a small, well-trained army and a more significant navy, reinforced with its diplomatic ties to [[Norgsveldet]], with which it has been allied since before unification, dating back to the Kingdom of Àthia and the Kingdom of Novreheim. Veria maintains observer status in the [[Borea Assembly|Borean Assembly]] and associate status in the [[League of Novaris]], but is not formally part of either organization.

It is displayed here on a pendant of the type historically worn by the Verian Fianna, an elite warrior class of unlanded nobles.]]

==Etymology==
The name ''Eileanan
The [[Staynish]]-[[Codexian]] exonym Veria likely originates from a shortened Codexian transliteration of the Norgsveltian name for Veria, ''Vennrikia'' (Norgsveltian: lit. "Friendly realm"), which itself is also an exonym, and first came into use in the [[Norgsveldet#The_Kingdoms_of_Riksheim_and_Novreheim|Kingdom of Novreheim]] after early contact with Verian sailors and merchants.
Line 221:
The High King acts as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, which are jointly commanded and controlled by the Verian Council-at-arms (''Comhairle-aig-arm''), also called the War Council (Comhairle-Chatha).

The [[w:Bagpipes|bagpipe]] is both the national instrument of Veria and its most iconic traditional instrument, retaining a presence in modern Verian folk music as well as other genres. Though there are many variations of bagpipes that developed independently throughout the world, the Àthian Warpipes are the most famous variant from Veria, closely followed by the smaller ''phìob bàrdach'', or "bard's pipes" (Àthaic: lit. "bardic pipes"), which is still preferred by bardic traditionalists throughout the Verian Isles.
