The Kingdom of Aloia, usually called Aloia, is a constitutional monarchy comprising of 39 states, including the semi-autonomous Kingdom of Talos. The country is situated on the continent of Mnemosyne with states on the continent of Olympia. The mainland is bordered by Arveyres to the south, Antanares to the west, Genolia to the north, and Agoropolis to the east. Mainland Aloia is located on the Aloia Sea, Arveyres Sea, and Atletius Sea.
With an estimated land area of 1,717,854 kilometers squared, it is one of the larger nations in the world. The nation is in between the Atletius Sea, Aloia Sea and Arveyres Sea, stretching from the far southwestern citystate of New Germaine to the far northeastern state of San Buenaventura; encompassing the extensive Thalian Mountains and massive forests and plains.
Aloia is a highly developed country. The Aloian economy is led by tourism, as a result of the nation's extensive national park system and the Aloian people's reputation for compassion. Aloia is a leader in the region of education, with a highly successful and revered educational system.
Aloia is an active member of the World Alliance, currently serving as a member of the Regional Parliament and Regional Council. The nation is also the home to the WA Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (WAESCO). Aloia is an active member in many regional organizations, including the Security and Economical Union of Royalist States (SECURS) and Southwestern Security Organization (SOWESO).
History
The Aloian Peninsula in the continent of Olympia was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as the province of Haloina. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the province split into many rival city states, until Queen Anne the Great United the citystates into one Kingdom of Aloia on January 10, 1497.
In 1979, harsh conditions led the religious Aloian people to believe God was leading them out of Olympia. They moved to the continent of Mnemosyne, to the homeland of the Genoli people. Aloia and Genolia united in November of 1979, with the Genolian city of Ottawa and the Aloian city of San Francisco as the twin capitals.
In 1999, a large group of ethnic Aloians (known as Peninsulars) returned to their homeland in the Aloian peninsula and established five states, which together were named Talos, in honor of the great Aloian city of Talos Eri.
In 2006, Queen Marina's son, Louis, and the government of the five Talosian states declared independence. This crisis was resolved when Queen Marina agreed to allow the five states to recognize Louis as their monarch, if they remained within the (then) Imperial Union.
In 2014, a popular referendum in Genolia ended the time of Unification, with Genolians choosing overwhelmingly (79% for to 21% against) independence. This dissolved the Imperial Union, with Aloia and Genolia becoming separate nations for the first time in 34 years.
