Atregona, officially known as the Atregonese Aigentarate, is a nation in south and central Anaria. It is composed of two main regions separated by the Argirun Sea: the northern mainland Atregona and the southern Eccasian Archipelago. Atregona also includes additional territories such as the island of Laustro in the western Argirun, the tip of the Ashtem Peninsula, and colonies in Tzeraka and D'Runia. Atregona shares land borders with Sudety, Zelezmia and Meridolvenia among others.
Etymology
The name "Atregona" is thought to derive from the historical capital of the Indaric Empire, Atereguriko, which in Old Tragonic means "refuge we gen." This name also relates to the Tragoni ethnic group found in areas previously controlled by the Indaric Empire.
Geography and Climate
Atregona features a diverse geography, with its climate and biodiversity varying across its territories. Specific details on geography and climate were not provided in the text.
History

Pre-History and Ancient History
The Eccasian Archipelago was inhabited by early hominids between 1.5 million years ago and as recently as 35,000 years ago. Modern humans are believed to have reached the region over 40,000 years ago, demonstrating advanced maritime skills. The Tragonic languages, which are unrelated to Kachal-Anarian languages, suggest that the Tragoni people or culture occupied central Anaria before the spread of Kachal-Anarian languages.
Modern Atregona traces its lineage back to the Indaric Empire, an ancient Tragonic-speaking thalassocratic empire. This empire controlled the Argirun Sea and influenced the eastern, central, and southern Anarian seaboards through a network of client kingdoms and trading posts from the 50th to the 57th centuries RH. The capital, Atereguriko, was a significant center for commerce and Sadarisnism in the mid-sixth century.
The Indaric Empire eventually collapsed following invasions by Meyistri tribes from the south and Cheltai and Karsk tribes from the north during the migration period. The Tragoni were expelled from several regions, leading to their retreat to mainland Atregona, the Eccasian Archipelago, and the Vaixelles. This period is known as the Tragoni Diaspora.
Unified Atregona
By 7300 RH, trade in the Argirun Sea and along the Eccasians' north-south routes became dominated by the Getardinic Aigentarate, which was centered on the city of Getardine and the Eccasian League. The league was led by the powerful Okoen and Zaharai Aigentarates. Aigentar Eneko II waged a war against the Eccasian League from 7394 RH, ultimately uniting much of the Eccasians and mainland Atregona into a single Aigentarate named Atregona.
Modern Atregona
From the mid-74th century, Atregona consolidated its territorial holdings through its control over maritime routes and trade access to the Argirun Sea. However, conflicts with the Meyistri kingdoms and various Vaixellan states resulted in significant territorial losses by 7483 RH. The Atregonese Aigentarate struggled to maintain pace with technological advances in northern Anarian rivals, leading to a decline.
Reforms in 7511 RH attempted to reverse the decline, including the dissolution of protected merchant and guild classes, military modernization, banking reforms, judicial secularization, and the abolition of feudalism. These reforms faced strong opposition and led to harsh oppression by the Aigentarate.
During the Pan-Anarian War, Atregona initially regained some territories but suffered a major defeat in the attempted invasion of Vaixelles and Simal Uzaq in 7541 RH. This invasion was a catalyst for forming the Vaixellan League, a precursor to modern xxxx. Post-war Atregona faced domestic unrest, sectarian conflict, and rising nationalism.
Government and Politics
Atregona is ruled by an Aigentar chosen through male-preference cognatic-primogeniture. The Aigentar, historically a supreme ruler, is advised by the high advisor (Goitanune) and the Central Council (Sinetsiak). Over time, a separation of powers developed, distributing authority among civil, religious, commercial, and military administrative bodies.
Reforms in the early 76th century by Aigentar Elorro significantly reduced the influence of these groups, leading to the establishment of the first Atregonese constitution in 7511 RH, which introduced a secular judicial system.
Administrative Divisions
Atregona is divided into forty banners, each governed by an appointed governor. These banners are further subdivided into 318 districts. The banners are grouped into nine regions, significant for cultural, judicial, and military purposes.
Culture
Atregonese culture reflects a blend of Tragoni, Meyistri, Ilista, and northern Anarian elements, with a strong Sadarisnism influence. Atregonese cuisine is cosmopolitan, integrating northern and southern Anarian flavors with influences from D'Runia, Tzeraka, and Tharna, heavily relying on exotic herbs and spices. Staple foods include wheat, eshialor (a pseudograin), and beans, while common proteins include fish, cephalopods, caprids, small canids, native fowls, and boar.
Demographics
Atregona has a population of 42,009,055 evenly divided between mainland Atregona and the Eccasian Islands. The nation is predominantly Sadarine, with small Orkanan and Naskel minorities.
Religion
Sadarisnism (Sadarinism) is the majority religion, with Orkanan and Naskel as minority religions.
Languages
The most widely spoken language is Atregonese, part of the Tragonic language family, a language isolate specific to central Anaria. Other languages include Vaixellan in the north, Ashetemic in the Ashtem region, Juranese, Gisarran, and Bojovic in the west.
