Eria is a country located in northern Bareland comprised of the Erian Peninsula and the Figlie Islands. Eria consists of seven regions and it borders Adanara to its west and south, and Ikoania on its northwest across the Mediterranean Sea. The country's official language is Erian, with Austral as a secondary official language used in Eria's major cities. The four largest cities in Eria are San Marco, Veneto, Maderna, and Terza. San Marco is the country's most populous city and the nominal capital. The Port of Maderna is one of the busiest seaport in the Mediterranean, serving as a transit hub in the Mediterranean Sea.

Eria was founded by Arcanan settlers from Livana in the 14th century, eventually growing into a full fledged royal colony of Arcana in the 15th century, controlled by the Galeta Dynasty of Arcana. In 1670, a Civil War broke out between House Eria, a branch of the Gelata Dynasty that controlled the royal colony, and the main Kingdom of Arcana in Livana, lasting until 1675 when a treaty was signed, ensuring Eria's independence from Arcana. Arcana became a constitutional monarchy after a series of revolutions in the 19th century.

Etymology

The name Eria came from the Royal House of Eria, the ruling royal dynasty. The house was founded in the 16th century caused by a matrilineal marriage within the Galeta Dynasty. Eria refers to a district within the city of Arcana where the family branch resided in the Eria Castle. In Livanan, Eria might be a simplification from the root Erstia meaning 'would be'. The name was chosen by the first King of Eria, Augustus I.

Government and Politics

Eria is a constitutional monarchy, with a hereditary monarch and a bicameral parliament, the Parlamento. The legislative branch is made up of the Senate (Senato), an upper house with 50 members, elected by popular vote to serve four-year terms, and the Chamber of Deputies (Camera dei Deputati), a lower house with 210 directly elected by popular vote to serve two-year terms. The executive branch consists of a Council of Ministers presided over by the Prime Minister, who is nominated ceremoniously as candidate by the monarch, before being deliberated by a joint sessions with representatives from the two houses, voted in by the members of the lower house and then formally appointed ceremoniously by the monarch.

Council of Ministers

The Council of Ministers (Consiglio dei Ministri) is the principal executive branch of the Erian government. It comprises the Prime Minister of Eria, all the ministers, and the Council Secretary of Eria. Members of the council is appointed by the Prime Minister after receiving the mandate to govern by the monarch through the vote of the Chamber of Deputies.

Administrative Divisions

Eria is constituted by 7 regions (regioni)—two of these regions having a special autonomous status that enables them to enact legislation on additional matters, 33 counties (contea) or metropolitan cities (città metropolitane), and 172 municipalities (comuni).
