Bressia

Bressia, known formally as the United Dominions of Bressia (Bressian: Unate Dominia ou Bressia) is a nation in eastern Altirus. It is bordered by the Aldesic Ocean in the east, Rogacia and Aulia to the south, Salthen to the west, and Leganthal and Battonshaeg to the north. The modern Bressian nation is descended from one of the first Craenate successor states, tracing its origin to the Grand Duchy of Bress in Craenhalm, which became a sovereign monarchy circa 50 PI under Grand Duke (later King) Lastor the Black after seceding from the Cherghaas Empire. The Bressian Empire would exist as one of the principle continental powers, comprising the Old Empires, until the mid fifth century, and would be one of the key members of the League of Sovereigns until its dissolution.

Geography
Continental Bressia is the second-largest nation in eastern Altirus, occupying a region which includes most of the southern half of the Crown Coast, and spanning westward to the Passin River. Although the Bressian Empire at its height also extended beyond the Andsier River, controlled the Salt Coast east of the Andsier, and shared a border with Chergaria to the north, many of these territories would achieve independence during the 4rd and 5th centuries PI. While its western and southern borders are denoted primarily by terrain features, such as the Passin River and Rogaen Alps, its northern regions consist largely of open plains, resulting in Bressia's northern borders being historically contested. Non-continental territories include the Bryre Islands off the Crown Coast, and numerous claims among the Buffer Islands in the Aldesic Ocean, though historically included coastal colonies in Sorothis such as Ellesport, in what is now Talahran.

Continental Bressia lies within the northwest temperate zone, resulting in most of the country having a temperate climate.
