http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/Kareem4/rendicion.jpg Edenburg has existed as a unified state since the several kingdoms of the Northern Iberian decided to unite of the monarch which they all inherited. The two most powerful kingdoms that comprised Edenburg were Castilla y Léon and Aragón. Both Kingdoms had already built empires, Castile already having conquered Galicia, Asturias,Leon, and the Canaries. While the Aragonese held part of Valencia, Catalonia, the Balearics, and the Basque regions straddling the Pyrenees. When the Monarchs of these two Kingdoms married, their offspring would eventually inherit a vast empire that would later become Edenburg, which went on to conquer Navarre, Aquitaine, and Rousillon Languedoc.

Edenburg is a land of contrast and striking beauty. Edenburg has the highest average elevation of any country in the region.  2/3 of the entire peninsula on which Edenburg sits is high, flat plateau called the Schonesland. The Schonesland is in the center of the country and is cut by mountain ranges and deep river valleys. This region is considerably more dry than the rest of the country. It has hot summers and cold winters. The soil is not very good here except for in the river valleys, but wheat can be grown and vines grow well. This region is home to sheep farming industries. On the North and Western Coast, there is a Maritime climate, this region receives more rain than any other part of the country. It experiences cool rainy winters, and mild summers. Unlike the Schonesland with its golden yellowish soils and thick shrubs. This region is green and with rolling hills and closely resembles the lands of Tyraelus. This region is home to the country's dairy and Paper industries thanks to many trees. The Eastern and Southern Coast are bordered by the Mediterranean and therefore have a mediterranean climate. Oranges and Lemon groves thrive here. No other country produces more oranges, lemons, or olives than Edenburg.

Almost all Edenburgers speak English well. 57% speak both English and Spanish Fluently, and northern Edenburg has a heavy French/English speaking population. a very small percentage of the population speak Only French, or Only Spanish.

The Edenburgian people are a unique bunch. The Peninsula is a melting pot of cultures. There are places in Edenburg where you can find a farmer who has never seen a city as large as Helena, and eats only what he grows in his garden and fields. There are also places in Edenburg where a woman may have never even seen a field of wheat or an orange grove. In Helena, you can see a grand cathedral, and then a mosque or Jewish Synagouge down the street.

Edenburg has a unique form of government. The country is divided into 3 separate branches. The Executive Branch, The Legislative Branch, and the Judicial Branch.

----

'''The Executive Branch'''
+
 
+
The Executive Branch of Edenburg is made up of The King, HM. Edward VI. and a cabinent of ministers. The King is chief of the executive, which makes him more powerful than most modern monarchs. The King has Royal Perrogatives which he uses when neccessary, and due to the great popularity of the Monarchy, he is not often challenged by the people. On the formation of a new parliament new ministers may be choosed to head their respective departments by the King only., the King may dismiss members of cabinet at will, but he may only choose another that is approved by parliament. He makes very few decisions on his own, he must consult with his ministers and they must approve, making the cabinet very powerful, this also protects the King for any trouble that would arise that was the effect of an executive law would fall on their shoulders and not his. The King does however have the power to make laws which go under Royal Perrogative that need not the approval of parliament or cabinet. The King must sign all bills passed by parliament into law, or if he refuses, he has to send it back with his suggestions, and if Parliament aggrees it will become law, if not, then 2/3 of the house of Commons must vote to override the King. Which is rare.
