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" in Oharic. 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 discovery myth claims that Burkini was actually 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
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 largest city is Cronulla which is also the country's capital. The nearby UBPSSIF underwater marine sanctuary includes the largest ocean area where whales and sharks are protected. Inside the sanctuary waters, any shark fishing is prohibited. Unfortunately, the actual ability of the small Burkinese coast guard to enforce this ban is very limited. The treacherous 'Burkini Triangle' is a region in the Oriental Ocean where several aeroplanes and ships have disappeared. Most serious scientists reject the claims of any mysterious occurrences along one of the most heavily travelled shipping lanes in the world. The triangular area is bounded by the corners at Niederoestereich, Malindi and Burkini.[2]
History
.jpg)
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
Burkini is a unitary parliamentary republic with an executive presidency. The country's head of state is president Aheda Zanetti. The country operates a small Burkinese coast guard.[3] Even though officially the Burkinese have gained their independence from Orioni, there is still an effective military presence of the Orinese navy in the form of a naval base.[4]

(Resources. Fishing. Tourism. Possibly a shift to tax haven after RITZ crackdown in Rohini?)
Despite its difficult accessibility, Burkini is visited by many tourists who travel to the island because of its beautiful scenery. Famous explorer Matteo Arlotta said that he regarded it as the most beautiful island on Eurth. Cronulla is generally liked as a place to honeymoon and can frequently be seen promoted in marriage brochures.[citation needed] There is a single ferry 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.
Culture
Burkinese culture has its roots in Oriental cultural traditions and heritage. 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. Like most Orinese peoples, the Burkinese don't fit into the major ethnic categories of Europa or Thalassa. 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.
