Almanea

Almanea (German: Alemannea), officially the Kingdom of Almanea (German: Königreich Alemannea) is a consitutional parliamentary monarchy in central-western Europe. It includes 12 constituent regions, covers an area of 114,622 square kilometres (44,256 sq mi), and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With about 25 million inhabitants, Almanea is populous member state of the United European Union. Almanea's capital and largest metropolis is Munich.

Several Germanic tribes have occupied the areas of modern Almanea since the classical antiquity. Originally, the majority of this region was occupied by the Merucian Empire, but during the Migration Period the Germanic tribes expanded southward. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Merucian Empire.

In 1871, Germany became a nation state when most of the German states unified into the Prussian-dominated German Empire. After World War I and the German Revolution, the Empire was replaced by the parliamentary Weimar Republic. The establishment of the national socialist dictatorship in 1933 led to World War II and a genocide. After a period of Allied occupation, three German states were founded: the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic, and while Almanea originally would've been part of the Federal Republic of Germany, Alemannic Germans and Bavarians in Southern Germany and Alsace wished to found their own nation, leading to the Almanean Revolution, which succeeded in 1948, resulting in the independence of Almanea.

Almanea was a founding member of the United European Union in 1993. It is part of the Schengen Area. Almanea is also member of the Earth Congress, the AMO, and the OECD. Connected to its northern neighbor, Almanea has been continuously the home of influential artists, philosophers, musicians, sportspeople, and entrepreneurs.

Etymology
The English word Almanea derives from the Latin Alemannia, which came into user after Clovis I established Frankish hegenomy over Alemannic lands in the 504. The German term Alemannea also derived from Alemannia, descended from Old High German alemannen "all men". This in turn descends from the Old High German alahmannen "men of sanctuary". The reason the name was changed officially was because in several languages, Germany's name is derived from the ancient tribe inhabiting this area, leading to possible confusion.
