Alebria (Al-EB-ri-yuh; Valonian: Alébrie /alebʁi/; Plevian: Alebria /alebrja/), officially the Federal Republic of Alebria (Valonian: République Féderale d’Alébrie; Plevian: Repubblica Federale Alebriana), is a country located in the Mesembric region of Southern Uletha. It is bordered by Valony to the north, and Plevia to the east. The capital and largest city is Poulvanne, which serves as an important trading hub for the Mesembric Sea and the Poulvanne-Temisa larger metropolitan region. Alebria has a rich history, having been one of the constituent regions of the historic Triadine Empire, alongside other countries such as Plevia, Valony, Pretannia, and several others. It also inhabits a diverse population of both Valonian and Plevian speakers, alongside Ulethan and other diaspora. Alebria has very close diplomatic ties to Plevia and Valony, serving as a representation of the unification between the Valonian and Plevian speakers. Alebria is a member of the Association of South Ulethan Nations (ASUN).
Alebria was originally discovered, then inhabited by the then growing Triadine Empire. For several centuries, the Triadine lived in this special location, known for fertile farmlands and small, but protective mountains, making the region an advantageous claim for the empire, which they referred to as TBD. After the collapse of the Triadine Empire, several kingdoms would establish themselves in this region of Uletha, including the Old Plevian and Old Valonian kingdoms. For several centuries following, the region of Alebria was constituent to Valony and Plevia, until after the TBD EVENT, the Kingdom of Alebria would gain independence in the 14XX. After the influence of classical liberalism arose in Mesembric Uletha, the Alebrian people would move forward to abolish the absolute monarchy, leading to the establishment of the First Federal Republic of Alebria.

Prehistory and Antiquity
Archaeological records suggest that it is likely that modern humans arrived in the Northern Mesembric region somewhere between 800,000 and 500,000 BCE. Over time, human population grew significantly due to the advantages of the region's climate, mainly a warm-summer Mesembric climate. Most of the humans in the northern Mesembric belonged to the various Proto-Ulethan cultures.
Alebrian Pre-Pottery
The Alebrian Pre-Pottery culture describes a sub-classification of the greater North Mesembric Hunter-Gatherer cultures. This refers to the group of pre-ceramic societies that ranged from Lesser Selony to modern Oscaglia around 4500-3000 BCE. They proceeded the Mesembric Stone Age culture. Most records and artifacts recovered from the Alebrian Pre-Pottery peoples originated from the type site of Vallée-l’Agde, however, several archaeological pieces were discovered in the nearby type sites of Bréçoules, Roannes-Sainte-Lucie, Bouzan, etc. One of the oldest Pre-Pottery sites is Alta Pragnianella, on a hillside outside of the Oscaglian village of Pragnianella. Carbon-14 dating suggests that the presence of stone-age cultures lived in the region as far back as 5000 BCE, however, this is widely disputed among archaeologists.
It is thought that the Pre-Pottery peoples primarily lived in small settlements distributed throughout the plains of the Mesembric coast, in small villages with a cleared central opening for socialization. The evidence of sickle-shaped tools and spearheads also suggests that the Pre-Pottery culture had some experience in the cultivation of wheat grasses and fruit-producing trees, but primarily relied on hunting cattle and other smaller mammals. This contests current evidence of Pre-Pottery peoples not having practiced agriculture and animal husbandry until the later bronze age cultures, so the true purpose of the sickle-shaped tools is still contested to this day.
Ulethan Bronze Age
The arrival of the Bronze Age in the Alebrian Plain saw the further development of embryonic societies in Alebria. The then bronze age cultures would begin to diversify entering the 8th Century BCE. The Valonic tribes living along the Levars and Mauvres rivers had established true cities along the riverbanks. One of the most prominent settlements was the Aleric city of Polbhanaeta, (now Poulvanne), the name believed to be derived from Proto-Valonic *polβanā̀tesí (*polβanā̀- the Aleric name of the Sacholles River, *-esí being the first-person plural possessor suffix). It is believed that the Aleric tribe is the origin of the name Alebria.
Triadine Occupation
The Alerics and Escurians established themselves in modern-day Alebria around 200 BCE, having migrated from the Temisian and Valonian plains. It is thought that most of the modern cultures would have rapidly developed in this period. Further east, the Plevian State had fully beseiged the then Valari city of Isaak, now Osianopolis. The Conquest of Osianopolis was considered to be the birth date of the Triadine Empire. The Triadines arrived in modern-day Alebria in roughly TBD as part of their outward expansion proceeding the capture of Poulvanne.
