Republia

Republia, officially known as the Alliance of Republian States is a country located in northeastern Tarynia. It has a population of nearly 100 million humans. Btharavel is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Bazkhard-dum.

Republia covers much of the eastern half of the Tarynian continent. To the north are unmapped territories rumoured to be the home of dragons, to the southeast is the Valley of Findon, and to the west are the Crimson Peaks. Republia consists of four main geographic regions: Bazkhard, Barfchalef, Vzelamez, and Kameltand. The Misty Sea lies to the south-west of the country, the Iron Sea to the east, and the Fire Sea to the south. Around sixty percent of Republia is mountainous, with Mount Carasikund being the highest peak at 2,762 metres.

Republian history is one of the longest of any country. The country is considered one of the first civilized countries in the world, having been the birthplace of democratic government, blood sport, mining, construction, mathematics, and natural science. The Republian cities were first united by Bthund of Mazcedun in the seventh century BC. By the fifth century BC, Republian had become an integral part of global affairs, with trade links with most major cities in the northern hemisphere. The first century BC saw the establishment of their overseas empire, which has shaped the modern Republian values, history, and foreign policy. One of their vassals, the Stone Union of Sylomian Tribes, broke down when Ferran Oboror declared himself King, conquered many of the Union's lands, and renamed the region 'Ferraria' in honour of himself. A few hundred years later, Republia invaded Ferraria to try and regain control of region, but they were ultimately unsuccessful. Republia has a rich cultural history, with many great works of art coming from the various cities throughout history.

The government of Republia is one of the only democratic nations in the world. Each city is allowed to police its own regions, and the leaders of the city are allowed to vote in or stand for elections for the Elder Council. The Elder Council is a group of eight people who live in the city of Btharavel, where they make and pass laws on a national level. They are responsible for making laws, maintaining national order, and carrying out wars.
