South Lettonia

The Imperium of Australe Lettoniae, better known as South Lettonia is a semi-constitutional monarchial democracy located in Southern Dunia. Currently united in a partial political union with its western/northern brother state in the Unio Lettoniana, South Lettonia helps form one of two undisputed economic juggernauts with a total GDP per nominal coming to 19.5 trillion NCU, the second strongest in the world just behind the Romki Federation. The nation borders Verdeu to the west, Lusankya to the east, and in the Unio Lettoniana, Occidentalis Lettonia to the northwest. It completely encapsulates the Pontus Euxinus, and borders the Cantabrian Sea. With a long, rich, brutal and illustrious history behind it, the story and culture of South Lettonia is recognized as one of the world's most unique. Currently under the wise leadership of Imperatoria (Empress) Vesuvia Sabiniana Caesar, South Lettonia has transformed from an autocratic, authoritarian absolutist dictatorship to one of the most democratic nations in all of Diyar. In total, the 2022 census counted approximately 199 million people living within its borders, and the strength of the Imperial Pia and its mixed market economy allows for comfortable living for all Lettonians.

Despite its location, most of the Empire's territories are extremely sparsely populated, with most people living on the large sprawling coastal cities. The interior portions of the country are full of giant mountains, such as Olympus Mons, deserts, massive forests and many rivers and lakes. One of the most prominent features is the Carigdosa Sea, a large inland sea in the southeast of the country. Its climate is relatively consistent, being mostly temperate except for in the southernmost parts of Arcadia, in which it dips below the Befasian Circle and the temperatures remain bone-cold year round. Temperature and appearance wise, South Lettonia is most similar to the American state of Michigan.
