The Former Unionist Colony of Bromley, commonly and simply known as Bromley is a sovereign country located in north-eastern Antarephia, off the western coast of the Asperic Ocean. The country borders New Austland to the south-east, AN137f to the south, AN134e to the west and north-west, and Layr to the north. Its capital and largest city is Bromley City and the country is made up of 6 regions, two of which are considered to be autonomous by the Assembly of Nations.

Government and Politics

Bromley uses a unicameral system, with politicians regularly meeting at the National Assembly in Bromley City - the current speaker at the National Assembly is Robert Boland. The current Prime Minister as of 21 May 2022 is Wanda Salazar, who is deputised as Secretary to the Prime Minister by Jack Christie - both are members of the governing Bromlavian Labour Party. The current government consists of a left-wing coalition of the Bromlavian Labour Party, Liberal Bromley, Left Progression (formerly Communist Party of Bromley) and Black Voices. The opposition is led by Victor Thatching-Moss and the Bromlavian Conservatives. See Government of Bromley for detailed information

Foreign Relations

Bromley has had historically had a strained relationship with its neighbouring countries, Layr and New Austland. Minor conflicts often occur across the border, most notably in Kaytown on the New Austland border. Conflicts are usually related to territory and the issue of which country owns which part, with New Austlanders claiming ownership of Kaytown (Most countries recognise Kaytown as being part of Bromley). The Lyrian Government claims ownership of the autonomous region of Barkenfry due to its large Holmic population, while it is internationally recognised by most countries as being part of Bromley. This is a main issue in Bromlavian politics.

Bromley's closest ally is considered to be Geklinia-Dregolesia, and the two countries have a strong trading relationship.

Demographics

Languages

Bromley's official national language is Ingerish, owing to its history as an Ingerish colony. The Bromlavian curriculum requires that schools in all regions teach the Ingerish language. There are two regional languages in Bromley: Holmic, which is spoken by families from the Holmic Islands, Layr and the autonomous region of Barkenfry, and Ostafariuan-Je which is spoken by residents of the autonomous region of Westrange as well as descendants from black Bromlavian tribal groups.

Signs in Erbale, Lawrence, Aderlard and Rafferty are mainly in Ingerish. In Barkenfry, it is common for signs to be solely in Holmic, but official road/train signs etc. must be bilingual. In Westrange, this is also the case in regards to Ostafariuan-Je.
