Averra

Averra, officially The Federation of Averra (Averran: D'Federatioun vun Avechten) is a federal parliamentary republic located in eastern Avanor. The nation is a union of eleven Federal Regions which all joined at various points throughout the nation's history, some for defense and military reasons, others to expand financially, others were conquered through warfare of the other states. The nation is bordered to the north by the Midlands, to the east by Morodavia and Slovecia, to the south by Nalore, and to the west by Augustine and Caliane. The nation has a population of 13,340,296 as of the latest government census, and a land area of 224,088 km² (86,521 sq mi). The federal capital is the city of Alscheid, though other major cities include Noertlange, Knief, and Esch an de Maas.

Prehistory
According to archeological evidence, the first humans arrived in Averra, likely in the Eisenthal Region, sometime in the 12'000s BCE. In earlier times, it was believed that Averra was originally home to a Thanic tribe, likely speaking a dialect of Low Thanic which evolved into the Averran language, though today it is clear that the region was not only home to Thanes, but also Auene peoples - especially in the southwestern regions of the country.
