Auckbertia

Auckbertia, or Helvora (Helvoran: Hénolvoire), officially known as the Grand Helvoran Kingdom of Auckbertia (Helvoran: La Grandoúme Hénolvoirain d'Auckberʒioúme), is a fictional island country and a sovereign nation located in the North Sea in North-West Europe, located between the United Kingdom to the West, France to the South-West, Benelux to the South, Germanica to the South-East, Denmark to the East, Norway to the North-East, and Laurentia to the North. Auckbertia's landmass is relatively small; almost half as Hispaniola, at around 38,967 km2; which makes it the 3rd smallest country in Europe, before Mariana and Cyprus. The population density of Auckbertia is also medium, for a small island country, coinciding with a total population of 5,819,684. Politically, Auckbertia is a federal constitutional monarchy, which historiographically formed during the Auckbertian Civil War, between 1866-1871, which remarked the end of the Second Helvoran Republic. The current monarch, or the supreme king of Auckbertia, is King Raymond V. ruling from the capital and cultural-economic centre of the nation, Rossholm (Helvoran: Roʒ-holm). Other major cities include St. Haven, St. Auckbert, Eurymedon, Lostrom, and Luxpatrum.
The first records of human settlement in the Helvoran peninsular are dated to the mid-Iron age, despite contemporary anthropology having dated the initial arrival of humans to the peninsular to be at least 1.6 million years ago. Roman documentation from the early 2nd century BCE identified two major ethno-linguistic groups in what is now Auckbertia—the Morssoumes from the North, and the Aelvors from the South. In either early 3rd or late 2nd century BCE, the Gauls probably arrived on the Eastern shores of Hornholm Peninsula, which is connected to the main, Greater Helvore Peninsular of the country via the Norva Isthmus, which could be a possible explanation as to how Gallic cultures mildly influence Helvoran/Auckbertian culture. However, it has been further documented by modern historians and archaelogists that the Vikings from Norway and Laurentia did temporarily conquer modern-day Auckbertian territories; and it is yet to be speculated as to how they really resisted the Vikings.
What is now modern-day Auckbertia was annexed into the Roman Empire in the early 1st century CE, as a part of the Anglo-Helviran Conquests, where it would continue to be amalgamated into Roman culture until the evacuation of the Romans in Helvore in the 5th CE in the Medieval Helvore Revolution, which surprisingly remarked Helvora's resistence in European Historiography. Helvora experienced a fragmentation into numerous smaller kingdoms throughout the Dark Ages (including the dominant Hornholm and Edmunds), which would remain largely at war with each other. After a few and brief, unsuccessful attempts of conquest of Helvora by Denmark, the Helvoran kingdoms eventually unified under the rule of Kingdom of Edmunds in the 10th CE. The First Kingdom of Helvora was officially declared on the 17th of July, 950, which Raymond I, king of the Kingdom of Edmunds, managed to form after decades of diplomatic union and military action.
Throughout the early Middle Ages, Helvora continued to assimilate a growing sense of national identity as the Kingdom of Helvore grew to occupy grew to occupy the entirety of modern-day Auckbertia (historiographically remarked as Hénolevoire) and also the lands of Frisia, as a part of the Frisian County. With the rise of Protestantism in Germany, Helvora (and Frisia) experienced a Reformation, resulting in the establishment of the Soliterist Church, a major Protestant denomination which continues to this day. After experiencing the Helvoran Renaissance, which saw a steep increase in Helvoran identity, language, and culture, Helvora began a series of military expansions eventuating in the establishment of the continental First Helvoran Empire, which expanded as far from Benelux to South-East England. Following a rebellion of the Germanic people and by constant invasions from the Franks, the Helvoran empire collapsed in the early 17th century. 
Helvora stayed as a rump state for around most of the 17th century. However, in around 1689, the Kingdom of England declared war on Helvora, in the part of the Anglo-Laurensche Wars. Laurentia and Helvore then became a part of the United Kingdom, after England's wars on Scotland and Ireland. Apart from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Hanover, Helvora and Laurentia became another co-counrry of the United Kingdom, as part of simply just "Laurentia". Helvoran identity was completely removed after the annexation of Helvora, and the literal merge of Helvora in Laurentia as a "county". This outraged many fellow Helvorans, as they saw themselves being integral "Laurentians", in a part of a process called Laurentification, apart from the obvious English influence that subsidized Laurentia as well.
==Names & Etymology==
===a. Auckbertia===
Auckbertia is one of the names of this nation, a name that is derived from the founding father of the nation, St. Auckbert, which helped liberate Helvora after its rule from Laurentia and the United Kingdom in the Helvore Liberation Revolutions. The names derives from "Auckbert" conjoined with the "-ia" suffix, which means land. In other words, "Auckbertia" means "Land of St. Auckbert".
===b. Helvora===
According to Roman documentations, the Aelvors named the territory of Helvora/Auckbertia as "Aénolvorie". Due to Latin/Roman misinterpretation and corruption of the spelling and enunciation of the term, it is pretty like that the term was eventually corrupted into "Hénolvoire", the Latin and Modern Helvoran name for the nation. After the liberation of the Anglo-Saxons and their arrival on Hénolvoirian territories, the Anglo-Saxons purposefully corrupted the same name into "Henelvora", only for the Franks to later hop in and further corrupt the term into "Helvora", which is also unironically the name of the nation in both modern-day English and French.
