The Republic of Burkini is an island located in the North Oriental Ocean on Eurth. Its closest neighbouring countries are the Sunset Sea Islands to the southeast and Orioni in the southeast.[1] The island is approximately 1,077.10 km2 in size and home to 55,7856 people. The capital city Cronulla is also the country's largest city.
Burkini is a unitary parliamentary republic with an executive presidency. The country's head of state is president Aheda Zanetti. In 1955 the country gained its independence from Orioni. The island's wealth comes largely from the service and tourism sectors, with limited contributions from fishing and agriculture. International assistance from Orioni represents a large share of the island's domestic product. Burkini is part of several international and intergovernmental institutions including the Group of Island Nations.
Etymology
The earliest name for Burkini is Puriginni which means "naked woman". This is a reference to the traditional topless clothing of the native men and women. The first explorers to arrive on the island were shocked by this improper display. An alternative discover myth claims that Burkini was named after a now-lost "borgo" or fortress built by ancient Iverican explorers.[citation needed] However, no physical evidence of such a fort exists to support this claim.
Geography
.jpg)
The Burkinese territory is situated in the Oriental Ocean. Burkini sits atop an extinct undersea volcano extending from the ocean floor. The island was formed as a volcano 2 to 3 million years ago. Because of its eroded height, Burkini is threatened by the possible impact of rising sea levels due to climate change. The capital city is Cronulla.
(The nearby underwater marine sanctuary includes the largest ocean area where whales are protected. Reference to Burkini Triangle.)
History

Not much is understood about the island's ancient history. Physical remains hint at an early human presence circa 5,000 years ago. The first inhabitants were probably human migrants from Southeast Europa. These journeyed over the Oriental Ocean and settled many of its islands.
- 1529: Orinese explorer $name conquered Burkini.
- 1955: Decolonisation of Burkini and independence as a republic.
Politics
(Independence in 1955. President is Aheda Zanetti.)
Economy
(Resources. Fishing. Tourism. Possibly a shift to tax haven after RITZ crackdown in Rohini?)
There is a single that goes around the island. Several ferry services connect minor coastal settlements to Cronulla, the Burkinese capital. Cronulla Airport has connections to the international airport in Sunset Sea Islands and onward to other countries.
Demographics
(Like most Orinese peoples, the Burkinese don't fit into the major ethnic categories of Europa or Thalassa. The present day population is thought to have resulted from the fusion of several different immigrants who moved into Oriental Ocean from both the Oriental and Thalassan directions in remote antiquity.)
Culture
(Burkinese culture has its roots in Orinese cultural traditions and heritage. In contrast to other Oriental countries, the Burkinese people place relatively great important on their independence and self-sufficiency. The Burkinese dialect is greatly influenced by the Oharic language after the 16th Century colonisation by Orioni.)
