Auvegrone

Auvegrone, officially the Commonwealth of Auvegrone (Caliantene: Communauté d'Auvegrone) is is a sovereign nation located in southeast Larania governed as a constitutional monarchy, with the Caliantene Monarch as the head of state. The nation is bordered by Buranica to the north, the Mithran Ocean to the east, NATION to the west, and The Sea of Coral to the south. With a population of nearly 19 million people and a land area of LAND AREA, the nation is one of the largest on the continent in terms of population and land area. The nation is divided into twelve provinces, which are further divided into municipalities called Parishes. The federal government is headquartered in the capital and largest city, Saint Henri, which is the nation's economic and cultural hub, though other major cities in the country include Bénnois, Ceves, and Claire.

Auvegrone was initially inhabited by humans beginning in the 8,000s BCE, when the Lahachee people arrived in the region from the west, according to archeological studies. It is believed they migrated into the region hunting game, and developed raised houses to shield their dwellings from the numerous floods that effected the low lying region. These Lahachee people divided into numerous clans and tribes with unique identities which all fell under the same cultural sphere. The Avanorans arrived in the region in the 1450's with the arrival of the Caliantene explorer Henri Bachelot in 1445, who preceded to found the settlement of Saint Henri, claiming the region for the Caliantene Empire. The settlement became apart of Caliantene Larania, a large colony which was focused on the trade of furs, agricultural goods, timber, and other raw materials. Many Caliantene settlers moved into the region and by 1549 they were the majority ethnic group in the colony. Saint Henri became an important port in the southern part of the Laranian continent, and became the administrative capital of the colony, though in the Southern Laranian War in 1697, several northern provinces were split off and given to Gelenia as compensation for the war, joining Buranica in 1699. The colony became highly metropolitan throughout the 1700s, with immigrants from Xinhao, Korasha, Avanor, and Asania arriving in the region and settling. This prompted the colonial government to enforce the Hugot Acts, which banned the teaching of foreign languages and required assimilation into imperial culture. In these laws, millions died as the government forced natives and foreigners off their lands and into the cities, where they lived in poverty or otherwise were homeless. Civil rights were expanded throughout the 1800s with the introduction of an elected assembly following the Edict of Calise in 1858 - when Auvegrone became a Commonwealth. With the discovery of oil off the coasts of Larania in 1859, the country became a major energy exporter for the empire, and was a major resource for Caliane in the Great War. Following the war, the nation became a major energy producer, while investing in public infrastructure. The nation became one of the leading figures on the continent, and further has worked on economic development - joining the Organization of Laranian Nations in 1891 and the Laranian Defense Pact in 1899. The nation in the modern era has become a thriving first world economy, with
