The United States of Vrnallia (English pronunciation /vəˈnæljə/ or /vəˈnælijə/, also called (the) USV or simply Vrnallia, called Vrnaljaj Vrndikovičlo pronounced /vr̩ˈnaʎaj vr̩ndʲikoˈvʲit͡ɕlɔ/ or Vrnalja in the Vrnallian language) is an archipelagic federal democratic republic located to the west of the mainland of Asura. The nation consists of four states - Dvrieska, Mlekie, Hujre and Mlekiezej (Mazej) - comprised of 60 electoral constituencies.
With a population of 240,809 inhabiting an area totalling 98702km2, and a nominal GDP of just ȥ13.448 billion (NS$12.857 billion), Vrnallia is the smallest recognised sovereign nation in Asura which is also a member of the Federal Union of Asuran States. The nation is ethnically very homogeneous, having had little immigration, though recently immigration has been rising and some thriving immigrant communities may be found in major cities, such as in the capital Zalejk where 7% of residents are have a first or second generation immigrant background. The climate is similarly uniform, being temperate though slightly warmer than locations on the mainland at a similar latitude.
The United Insular States were formally created as part of the Treaty of Union, dating to around 900. However, the islands were only formally linked, operating with their own (similar) government systems, and it was not until the drafting of the First Constitution in 1773 that a formal elected government was created to govern the Union as a whole. In 1783 the federal government unanimously passed the Declaration of Citizens' Rights, an extensive amendment laying down over 200 rights given to all citizens the breaching of which is illegal and punishable. These documents have both been expanded upon over the years, with the Constitution rewritten entirely in 1874 following the Doloremi Incursions (Vrnallian: Dloremúj ka Pohalkš "The Doloremi Injustices"). Currently the Second Constitution is in its second revision and the Declaration of Rights in its fourth form.
The politics of Vrnallia, often considered complex and archaic, especially before passage of the Election Simplification Act 1950, are split between a number of parties. The current majority government in Vrnallia's legislature is a left-wing coalition of the Socialist and Progressive Parties, while the opposition consists of the Centrist, Conservative and Nationalist parties. These parties share sixty seats in the Vrnallian Chamber. The executive Vrnallian Council is a four-member body currently consisting of three Socialist councillors, including First Minister Brachvieca LJešmara, and one Conservative.
Etymology
The name Vrnallia is an anglicisation of the Vrnallian name Vrnalja. This is commonly said to derive from the Old Vrnallian Yňaže, a compound consisting of yňe "island" and aže "home" (Modern Vrnallian vrni and azia). Alternatively the name may derive from the name of a landholder attested in the Codex Insularum, Aigele, thus Yňaigele "Aigele's Island." Coloquially the country is referred to as Aziachto "the archipelago." Mainland Vrnallians may coloquially use Aziachto or Ógcheleg "the old country."
Geography
Vrnallia is an archipelago consisting of thirty four islands, dominated by the four largest islands of Mlekie, Dvrieska, Hujre and Mlekiezej (known commonly as Mazej). Of those thirty four, only fourteen are inhabited: Mlekie, Dvrieska, Hujre, Mazej, Vorod, Kujsia, Inciage, Bronazia, Daskavona, Irihtà, Nelevdej-po-Aziaš, Padál, Halkazia and Trùcha. These represent fourteen of the fifteen largest islands; the island of Ciùkaš is uninhabited though it is larger than both Trùcha and Halkazia.
