Braberbourg, officially the Grand Duchy of Braberbourg (German: Großherzogtum Braberburg), is a landlocked country in Western Europe. It is bordered by France to south and west, Italy to the east, and Switzerland to the north. It mainly consists of the Catherine-Mariawald, bordering the southernmost end of the Swiss Plateau, and the Alps in the east. Braberbourg had a population of 550,292 in September 2014 and has an area of 2,632.8 square kilometres (998.6 sq mi), making it one of the smallest sovereign nations in Europe.
Braberbourg is a representative democracy with elements of direct democracy with a constitutional monarch, and is one of the last remaining Grand Duchies in the world. It is a developed country, with an advanced economy. The city of Braberbourg has been used as a fortified Helvetii town in antiquity, later used as a fortress by the Romans and as a Frankish fief in the early medieval ages. It remained as a contested area split between France and the Kingdom of Sardinia, untill a compromise was met between these two countries, granting the entirety of Braberbourg independence. Braberbourg officially became a Grand Duchy and joined the German confederation untill it got disbanded in 1866, and declared eternal neutrality.
