Avlonya

Avlonya, officially the Union of Avlonya(Avlonyan: 𐐝𐐪𐑂𐐨𐐯𐑌𐐻𐐪 𐐤𐐬 𐐈𐑂𐑊𐐬𐑌𐐷𐐪) is a country located in Antigonia. Antigonia has an area of 2,773,760 km2 and a population of almost 93 million, making it the 6th largest country in the world by area. It is divided into 23 Union States, 7 Native Homelands, and four territories. Avlonya is organized into a Federal Republic, based on a division of power between the State and Federal Governments. It currently functions under a system of multi-party liberal democracy, with two dominant parties.

The nations that would unite to form Avlonya were founded by the Eressumans, explorer-conquerers from  which was conquered by the. Due to the peculiar system of primogeniture in, most second and third sons of the landowners were left landless. Many of these chose to carve out new lands in the newly discovered Antigonian continent largely in modern day . The did not develop a strong political infrastructure in the region and governed it around largely laissez-faire lines. Therefore the Eressumans founded small neo-feudal states known as landaketak in the new country based around a plantation economy. Castrioti, a minor lord in one of the Landaketak rose to unite most of them into the Antigonian League, however they were soon expelled from the coast by , leading Castrioti to lead the Long March, which led to the reestablishment of the league as a democratic republic further inland. The second league maintained unity for several decades, but soon descended into civil wars that drew in the neighboring natives tribes as well. The wars were ended by the established of the First Union of Avlonya, however this government developed into a corrupt oligarchy ruled by several political dynasties, resulting in the November Revolution of 1854 and the subsequent establishment of a radical liberal dictatorship that waged war against  and many other neighboring states in the Avlonya Revolutionary Wars. Though Avlonya ended up victorious, though impoverished and economically devastated leading to the decline of the Revolutionary Phalanx and the rise of modern Avlonya.

The Avlonyan economy is strong and maintains a relatively high GDP per capita. It saw a major boom in the mid to later parts of the 20th century, due to boosts in manufacturing and technology industries. The high income economy has seen a further exporting of labour to other less developed regions of the world. The modern Avlonyan economy continues to grow rapidly, albeit at a lower rate than the decades before. Though there are worries of an economic decline in recent years, economic growth appears to continue to grow for the foreseeable future. The Avlonyan government continues to seek free trade agreements and new markets to spread economic influence.
