Sintelia (/sɪn'tiːliɑ, -lja/, Sintelian: [sɪn'telia]) is a country in southeast Pharago, consisting of the Kuda archipelago as well as the southern tip of mainland Pharago. The archipelagic nation consists of thousands of islands, though the majority of these are uninhabited, and the country's 190 million people live on only around 5% of these islands, including Berimbang, Sarudaya, Sindang and Bulu, which is the country's most populous island, home to both the planned capital Bandar Kekuatan and the largest city Bengkudu. The country is hugely ethnically and linguistically diverse, with significant minority populations of Surambanese and Asofainese people in the west and east respectively. Over 600 ethnicities and 250 languages have varying degrees of recognition throughout the country.
Modern humans are thought to have inhabited the Kuda archipelago since at least 20,000 BC, first inhabiting Suramban. Most Sintelian ethnic groups can trace their roots to early migrations of humans from southern Cathan. Ihtiram first spread to the isles through Pharagian trade, often in syncretic form. Samsara eventually supplanted Ihtiram as the predominant religion in the region, however it still retained a crucial role on the archipelago. The Rajasvarna Kingdom was the first major power based out of the Kuda islands, based in the city of Tamanserah. The Rajasvarna developed extensive international trade networks and built large and extensive irrigation networks across the region, as well as establishing Old Kuda as the lingua franca in the region. The !Zulu prince Phiwokwakhe brought an end to the empire in the 15th century, conquering much of the Kuda islands and leaving a cultural legacy that persists to the modern day, including beadwork, clothing and religion. His kingdom quickly fractured after his death and the islands split into various thalassocratic states.
In the 18th century, merchants and traders from Hallania established initial Messenian presence in Sintelia, trading initially with Ihtiramic princes on Berimbang but later expanding their scope across the archipelago. By 1850, Hallania had established a nominal zone of influence around the archipelago. In the 1880s, following the War of the Aussonian Succession, administration was consolidated and economic exploitation increased severely, mainly for resources and manpower. In 1916, the Sintelian Revolution saw Sintelia proclaim its independence under an elective monarch, but decades of economic and political stagnation culminated in the Bulu Rebellion and later Great National Awakening in 1940, where the country nominally transitioned to a republic. Costly insurgencies in Suramban and Asofaia as well as widespread corruption and embezzlement also stifled the republic's initial economic growth. Sumridol ruled the country as a strictly totalitarian dictatorship from 1961 to 1987, heavily increasing military influence and kickstarting Sintelian economic growth.
Sintelia is often viewed as an emerging power, undergoing rapid industrialisation and economic growth in recent years. International organisations view Sintelia as an authoritarian state, with the presence of personality cults among Sumridol and his descendants, who hold immense power in the country as a political dynasty, though the country has undergone gradual liberalisation since the 1990s. Sintelia's economy is one of the world's largest, with a nominal GDP of $1.673 trillion and a PPP GDP of over $4 trillion, concentrated primary in the industrial and service sectors. Recently, the government has officially adopted the moniker of Pembicara Untuk Hak (literally "speaker for rights"), representing the country's position as a leader and proponent of third-worldism.
Etymology
The name Sintelia first entered use in the 19th century, and is derived from !Greek συντέλεια; syntéleia, literally translating to "end of the world". The name was introduced by Hallanic paleontologist Torsten Haagensen. After Hallanic colonisation in the 1880s, the educated native elite sought a unifying term for the region under Hallanic influence, and adopted the name Sintelia in the 1900s.
Traditionally, the island was known as the Kuda archipelago (excluding Suramban on mainland Pharago). The name Kuda is thought to have originated from the !Zulu word kude, meaning "far" or "distant". This term first saw use in the 15th century in Messenian sources, but is thought to have been several centuries older amongst Pharagian traders. Other names have included शून्यताभूमि; shunyatabhumi in !Sanskrit, roughly translating to "land of nothingness", as well as Tanah Banyak ("land of many"), and Surga Yang Hancur ("broken/shattered paradise") in some mythological sources. Typically, prior to colonisation, the individual islands constituting Sintelia were referred to by their individual names.
