This is the story of Avenia.

Along the Orlan River, between the Inner Sea and the Outer Sea, lies a parliamentary republic of approximately ten million people. Its capital is Corvona. Its communities speak different languages, but share a country and a future.

In the nineteen nineties, Avenia joined NATO and the European Union. Membership opened a new chapter, yet for the next two decades, the country remained heavily dependent on energy from Tessera.

Then came the gas crisis of twenty eleven. During a dispute over transit tariffs, Tessera cut supplies for five weeks. Industry was disrupted. Schools closed. Older people suffered, and winter deaths increased.

The crisis changed Avenia’s direction. In twenty twelve, voters elected a government firmly committed to deeper cooperation with NATO and the European Union.

In twenty sixteen, the opening of the Demerra liquefied natural gas terminal ended routine imports of Tesseran gas. Diversification became a practical expression of sovereign choice.

Partnerships grew. Lunara became Avenia’s closest regional ally. Galpan strengthened cooperation on security in the Outer Sea. A bilateral defence partnership with Montara followed in twenty twenty-one.

Progress also brought difficult decisions. Austerity measures introduced in twenty twenty-four reduced public-service budgets and weakened trust, particularly in rural and eastern communities.

Today, Avenia’s task is to protect its people, sustain essential services and earn confidence through transparent decisions and accountable institutions.

Its story continues through strong partnerships, equal protection for every community, and the freedom to decide its own future.
