Kostrolia (Kostrol: Kostrolija), officially the People's Democratic Republic of Kostrolia (Kostrol: Demokratska Narodna Republika Kostrolija), is a country in Southeast Euronia. It has a population of 30,417,289 and an area of 102,686 km2 (39,647 sq mi). Kostrolia is situated between the river Kara and the Bay of Posana. Its only land border is with Agmeria to the north, but it also shares a maritime border with Torrand. Kostrolia is administratively divided into 16 counties, based around its historic counties that united to form Kostrolia in 1847. Its capital and most populous city is Ikhov. Other major urban areas in Kostrolia include Kanžara, Zamak-na-Kari, and Vuma.
Modern Kostrolia was initially settled by the Kari peoples, a group of several peoples originating from central Euronia. The Kari peoples were conquered by the Kostrols and Mavians in the 8th century BCE, who settled the land themselves. The Republic of Ikhov ruled the region from 107 to 356. As the Republic of Ikhov collapsed, the 16 historic counties of Kostrolia were established. The counties maintained good relations with each other throughout the centuries, becoming important trade partners and military allies. The Kostrol Confederation was formed between them in 1759, which paved the way towards unification, which took place on 9 October 1847 with the establishment of the Kingdom of Kostrolia.
The first Kostrolian monarchs were very popular with the people. They expanded the economy and increased cooperation between the constituent counties. However, consecutive monarchs began making more controversial decisions, which eventually led to the December Revolution of 1884, when the people of Kostrolia rose up against the monarchy in an 11-day conflict that led to the creation of the Republic of Kostrolia on 1 January 1885. A period of worldwide and local instability caused the Kostrolian Civil War, a multi-party civil war that lasted from 1919 to 1921. Its resolution established the United Socialist States of Kostrols and Mavians, or USSKM for short, a federation adhering to the views of Siniša Koren. The USSKM was a one-party state throughout its entire history, though it is sometimes classified as a benevolent dictatorship due to its widely-perceived leniency on civil liberties. The USSKM was dissolved on 25 October 1961 following a coup d'état executed by the Kostrolian Front for Freedom and Democracy (KFFD) with assistance from several factions of the armed forces. On 27 October 1961, the current constitution was adopted, officially establishing the People's Democratic Republic of Kostrolia.
