Borealia

Borealia is a country in Balteca. Its 7 provinces extend from the North Avansic Ocean to the Dunic Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering ```TBA``` million square kilometres, making it the world's largest country by total area. In the south, it borders Osana and borders Larantza in East. Borealia's capital is Marleybone, and its three largest metropolitan areas are LaRousse City, Marleybone, and New Praven.

Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Borealia for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century, Gaudian expeditions explored and later settled along the North Avansic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, Gaudia raised what is now Borealias autonomy and ceded nearly all of its colonies in Balteca in 1763. In 1867, with the union of three Guadian Baltecan colonies through Confederation, Borealia was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the Gaudians. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of Praven 1897 and culminated in the Borealia Act 1904, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Gaudians.

Borealia is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy in the Wigster tradition. The country's head of government is the prime minister—who holds office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the elected House of Commons—and is appointed by the governor general, representing the monarch, who serves as head of state. The country is officially monolingual at the federal level. It ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic freedom, and education; however, it is one of world's least ethnically diverse nations with the overwhelming majority of its people Gaudian. Borealia's long relationship with Gaudia has had a significant impact on its economy and culture.

A highly developed country, Borealia has the eighth-highest nominal per-capita income globally and ranks high in Human Development. Its advanced economy is the third-largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade networks.
