At it's peak, Amberia controlled territory spanning the Alber mountains (modern-day Albia) and the coast of Fortland. After the Ten Years War, Amberia lost significant portions of land to the surrounding nations, forming it's modern-day borders. After a revolt that saw a large change in the government's structure, Amberia began the transition into a federal republic with a president as it's head of state. Amberia remained neutral until the Great War, where it joined the Allied side and fought against the United Front. Amberia remained on the Polish-Jonathian side during the Cold War.
