Avaerilon, officially the Magnificent Kingdom of Avaerilon (Avaerilonian: Y Regnil Magnaddog Avaerilon), is a sovereign state located in the central-western waters of the Social Liberal Union, northwest of the main continental body. Geographical Avaerilon is composed of four large islands (Fereldan, Arnalor, Morrowind and Dunaemair) and numerous smaller surrounding isles. Avaerilon as a nation is further comprised of 14 overseas kingdoms and 3 additional overseas territories, along with each of the four 'home kingdoms,' which are administered as kingdoms also.
The country's form of government is a Constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system and its capital city is Minas Avalon, Fereldan, with the majority of the Avaerilonian Parliament located in the largest city of Lyndainium, also in Fereldan. The current Avaerilonian monarch is HMRM King Aubrey the Dragonheart, elected to the position in 2011, and also a descendent of the royal line of Avaerilon. The Prime Minister is Dr.Gwilym Gladstyn and the Patrician is Lord Havelock Vetinari. Each of the kingdoms of Avaerilon has its own devolved parliament, and the three overseas territories also have their own devolved assemblies. Avaerilon has been a kingdom since being founded in the year 793 A.D., and the current political system can be described as having evolved from the original structure of government.
Avaerilon is a highly-developed and wealthy nation, with some of the highest standards of living in the world, particularly in terms of education,with Avaerilon's educational system regarded as being one of the best in the world. The country is considered to be an industrialised nation, though it developed differently from a number of others after the introduction of steam power and industrialisation. Avaerilon has one of the world's highest HDI ratings, strongest economies, and a high GDP per capita score. It joined the SLU in 2011, and has since served as the region's chair on domestic affairs and as regional delegate. Avaerilon is considered to be one of the primary powers within the SLU.

Etymology
The name for Avaerilon derives from Avaerilonian, but there are strong cognates in both Fereldonian and Sindarin The first part of the name, avaer, means 'sanctuary' or 'haven,' and comes from the Fereldonian word ffer 'glade.' The ending is ilon, 'realm' and derives from ilnys, island. Literally, the name means "realm of the sanctuary," and was deliberately chosen for that reason by Arthur in 793. Until then, the term did not exist, and the various places that form what we know call Avaerilon were known individually by their own names, or together sometimes as the Western Realm (Ilon Nyrmeln).
