Beracha Glas

Beracha Glas is an island between the North Sea and Celtic Sea to the west of Histalpol, from which it is separated by the Loove Renné Straight, and to the east of Leeonia separated by the Celtic Sea. Politically, the island is entirely inside of Histalpol and has an estimated population of just over 5 million, with just over 4.6 million living in metropolitan areas in the island.

The island's geography is diverse with low-lying mountains to the east, moorland to the west and fertile plains in the middle. This gives the island the look of transitioning from a Cornish sort of geography into an Irish sort of geography, with land getting less fertile the further west you go. Thick woodlands covered the island at the time of settling by the Celtics, the woodlands where they originally settled has since become a national park, alongside moorland to the west of the island surrounded by the capital of Histalpol, Bastilia and the smaller city of Martenford. As of 2013, the amount of land that is wooded on the island is around 42% in total, higher than the European average of 35%.

The settling of the island occurred with the Celtic culture and peoples, predominantly the Cornish and Welsh. French influences lead the language to soften and turn the name from Bhruacha Glas into Beracha Glas. The island was originally part of the United Kingdom, but became part of Mendilibér when Royalists made a deal with the French Empire to become a foreign territory. The island was handed to the British Empire in the Treaty of Paris but did not become independent at the same time as the First Kingdom of Histalpol. Only when Harrow's War gained Beracha Glass was the island taken away from the British Empire. With the new nation created after Harrow's War, the seat of the nation was picked as Statenford (modern-day Madison named after the king succeeding from the murdered Queen Héléna II, King Madison).

Beracha Glas became a major theatre of war during World War 2, with the island being the entrance to the British Isles and Leeonia. The island was lost in the Battle for Beracha Glas in 1941 and occupied by the Axis forces. The Axis forces never advanced from the island and the island was given back to Histalpol at the end of the war. During the 21st century, Beracha Glas became a major transportation hub for the first time since the Steam Era with expanded trade and relations with other nations, most importantly the Alliance of Independent Nations, for the first time since the Black Depression, which lead to a boom from major airports and Port Loove, one of the largest ports in Histalpol.

The islands show common features shared with both Great Britain and France in terms of culture, with the island containing the historical capital of Madison and the current capital of Bastilia of Histalpol. The island is a large tourist destination because of these cities as well as natural beauty, including the national parks. Sports shared between Beracha Glas, Histalpol, Great Britain and France are association football, rugby, horse racing, archery and sport shooting. Sports that are unique to Beracha Glas though include those that are Gaelic games, because of the islands Gaelic heritage. The Histalian language that originates from the softer Gaelic from the settlers is not counted as an official language in Histalpol, but is still used as a primary or secondary language by around 5% of the population, mainly on the east coast near to the original Celtic settlements.
