Asuca (/asʊ'c:a/ a-su-CAH; Lavish: Açùcar), officially the Asucar Republic (Lavish: República da Açùcar) and formerly Costa Açùcar or known as the Sugar Coast, is a country located on the southern coast of West X, bordering X to the west, X to the north, X to the east, and the Bight of Asuca and X to the south. The majority of its population lives on the southern coastline of the country and around the Eba river and its delta. The political capital of Asuca is Gobona, while the country's largest city and economic capital is the port city of Ykora located further south. Asuca accounts for an area of 48,283 square kilometres (18,642 sq mi) and its population in 2017 was estimated to be approximately 21.85 million.
First permanent states and chiefdoms in the territories of present-day Asuca were founded as far back as the 10th century. A number of kingdoms emerged over the course of history, and more noticably city states later asserted much political and economic control. Interest in the region emerged at the begin of the 15th century, with numerous Iraian powers contesting the area for trading rights and colonial possessions.
The Lavish first settled a protectorate and ultimately established control of the coast by the late 1870s amid the Iraian scramble for X. Shortly after, the colony of Lavish Costa Açùcar was founded. Following a century of native resistance, Asucar officials declared the country independent of Lavaria on 12 September 1965, sparking anarchy and social turmoil before being quelled by Lavish and AN forces thereafter and establishing an Assembly of Nations mandate mission in 1966. When Asuca was released on 27 October 1969, the government sought to maintain unity within the country, but failed, resulting in a civil war ravaging throughout the 1970s. The republic has had a tumultous history since then, having experienced a series of democratic governments, coup d'états, and military governments. Beginning in 1993, Asuca introduced a stable and democratic system, paving the way for broader international cooperation and emerging as a regional power and economic powerhouse for West X.
Asuca's population spans a great variety of ethnic groups, religions, languages, traditions, and cultures. Approximately X% of the country was X, X% was X, 3.4% was Ditanist, and another 6.1% practiced native and traditional faiths. Its diverse geography and ecology dominate the country, ranging from tropical rain forests to coastal savannahs and other wetlands. As a tropical nation, it is therefore somewhat dependent on agriculture, and is a large exporter of cotton, coffee, cocoa and palm oil. Lavish is the official language of Asuca, though a large diaspora of indigenous languages is also present.
Asuca is a unitary constitutional republic, led by a president as both head of state and head of government under a multi-party system; the current system was defined in the constitution introduced in 1999. The country's economic growth, prosperity, and democratic government have made it a sizable player in X politics and wields disproportionate power for its size and location. Asuca is a member of the Assembly of Nations, X.
