Branniboria (/bɹæn.nɪ.boɹ.i.ɑ/ bran-nih-BOR-ee-ah) is the term used for a northern Apollonian territory that is claimed by the Kingdom of Meckelnburgh. The territory lies on the island of Esthar, across the sea from Senya. The west and north coasts lie on the open Northern Sea while the east and south coasts lie on Tallandor Bay.
Branniboria is claimed as integral territory of Greater Meckelnburgh, and ownership of the island was demanded from the ruling nation of Voxland, later the Empire of Insulia, since 1689 AN. After the collapse of that nation in 1727 AN, Meckelnburgh interests demanded the immediate occupation of Esthar.
Etymology
The name "Branniboria" derives from the Old Ocian terms "branni" and "bor," which combined meant "defensive forest." The term is expected to derive from the island of Esthar's massive evergreen forests and timber industry.
