Gallone

Gallone, officially the Gallonese Republic, is a country consisting of metropolitan Gallone in Western Euteria and several overseas regions and territories. The metropolitan area of Gallone extends from the Serephanian Sea to the Sea of Calimar, and from the Ruhr to the Nero River. It borders Welland, Ansdorf, Holladia, and Bergmania to the north, Lustenheim and Monterroso to the east, Catonia, Asturica, Santadoba, Andagon, and Vandura to the south, and Havarre, Sagovia, Galincia, and Vispania to the southwest.

Gallone is a semi-presidential unitary republic with its capital in Versau, the country's largest city, and main urban and commercial center. Other major urban areas include Monasale, Belmont, Santaves, Toussaint, Aurideaux, Brassels, and Nirnes.

During the Iron Age, what is now metropolitan Gallone was inhabited by the Leppians, a collection of Celdic tribes. The area was annexed by Tona in 51 BC, developing a distinct Leppo-Tonan culture that laid the foundations of the Gallonese language. The Bergaric Galans arrived in 476 and formed the Kingdom of Galania, which formed the heartland of the Gallanian Empire. After the partition of the empire in 843, metropolitan Gallone made up West Gallania, and become the Kingdom of Gallone in 987.

Prehistory
The area of modern Gallone was first inhabited by Hunter Gatherers from Hiberia. They appeared to have originated as a refuge population that resulted from the Second Great Freeze. The Serephanian Migrations brought settlers from the Eastern Serephanian to Gallone. The mixing of these two groups formed the Prehistoric Gallonese.

Antiquity
The Ancient Delliks founded the colony of Mansallia (present-day Monasale) on the shores of the Serephanian, making it Gallone's oldest city. At the same time, Leppians began migrating from the east of Lake Asta into the country. The concept of Leppia emerged during this time.

Geography
Gallone is a large country bordered by the Sea of Almas to the northwest, the Rougnan River to the north, the Bassot River to the northeast, the Serephanian Sea in the southeast, the Neri River in the south, and the mountains in the southwest.

Climate
The climate of Gallone varies across the country. Most of the country has a temperate oceanic climate with warm summers and wet, relatively mild winters.

Regions
Modern Gallone is divided into seven classical regions: Altenese, Calimar, Pichard, Borbonne, Gallois, Vigueria, and Histria. There is great diversity regarding the vegetation, climate, and landscape between the regions.

Altenese
Main article: Altenese (Gallonese Region) The Altenese is a geographic and cultural region in northern Gallone. Its boundaries fall between the Neri and Demos Rivers. The Altenese is characterized by the towering Polemon mountains, deep valleys, high plateaus, and picturesque alpine towns. The Polemon range is tallest in the northwest section of the region, gradually sloping downwards toward the southeast, where the Neri and Demos converge. The Altenese has more rivers, lakes, and waterfalls than anywhere else in the country. The region has a mix of polar/tundra climate in the mountains and oceanic elsewhere. In the far east, the Altenese has a borderline Mediterranean climate. The dominant languages of the region are Altenese, a Bergaric language spoken in the west, and Gallonese, spoken in the east and used as a lingua franca among the region.

Pichard
Main article: Pichard (Gallonese Region) Pichard is located in northwest Gallone. It borders the Charon River to the west and the Valles River to the east. The region can be divided into thirds, each with unique features. Northern Pichard contains the western ranges of the Polemon mountains, a highland plateau characterizes the centre, and rolling hills are dominant in the south. Pichard is home to three unique languages: Pichardy, which is related to the Gallonese language and spoken in the southeast, Allsauic, a Bergaric language spoken in the north, and Eburo, a Leppic language located in the north and southwest. Most of the population speak standard Gallonese while Pichardy is used by older populations and rural farmers. Allsauic is commonly spoken in northern Pichard. Eburo is a minority language, as most native speakers have adopted Gallonese.

Calimar
Main article: Calimar (Gallonese Region) Calimar is located in northwest Gallone, bound by the Charon River to the east and the Gulf of Calimar to the west. The Gallonese region is part of the larger Calimar Region, which spans the entire coast of the gulf. The coastline is notable for its natural beauty and scenic landscapes, containing some of the largest sand dunes in Euteria. Most of the population lives in cities along the banks of the Charon. Calimar has a classic oceanic climate with cool/warm summers and mild winters. The region is a popular tourism hotspot in the summer months, with visitors attracted to its picturesque towns, castles, and vacation homes. Calimar is home to Gallonese, Allsauic, Eburo, and Calimar speakers. Calimar was traditionally spoken there for thousands of years before Gallonese control, but many speak it only as a second language or have chosen not to learn it.

Borbonne
Main article: Borbonne (Gallonese Region)

Borbonne is located to the south of Calimar and Pichard, bound by the Pyropian Mountains in the south and west, the Charon in the northwest, and the Pichard Highlands in the north.

Vigueria
Main article: Vigueria (Gallonese Region) Vigueria is located in the country's southeast territory. It is bound by the Demos River to the north, the Neri River Delta to the northeast, the Serephanian Sea to the southeast, and Histria to the southwest, and Gallois to the west. Gallonese Vigueria is part of the larger region of Vigueria, which spans most of the northern coast of the Western Serephanian. Most of Vigueria has a warm Mediterranean climate, although the northwest has a borderline oceanic climate. Most of the region is mountainous, although the peaks do not reach nearly the height of other ranges in the country. Vegetation is characterized by pine trees, oak trees, palm trees, and shrubs.

Histria
Main article: Histria (Gallonese Region)

Histria is the southernmost region of Gallone.

Demographics
The inhabitants of Gallone are known as Gallonese. Most Gallonese descend from Leppians with Itosic (Tonans) and Bergaric (Galicks) admixture.
