<!-- 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.
[[File:MorrunKnotPendant.png|right|thumb|200px|The shield knot, often called the "Mòrrùn Knot" for its association as the symbol of the historical Kingdom of Mòrrùn, is a traditional Verian interlace pattern representing strength and fortitude, the reason for which it was chosen as the national symbol of modern Veria. 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.
