The Republic of San Portina is a small nation in southern Adula bordered by Alecburgh to the north. It has a population of 3.4 million, mostly concentrated in the primate city of San Portina. San Portina's small geographic area is defined by a peninsula with a central mountain range, with the Croix Sea to the west, the Cantalle Ocean to the west, and the Mùnenn Strait connecting the two bodies of water. San Portina also administers 14 islands, most of which are rocky outcroppings, but the largest of which, Tùreuen Island, is inhabited largely in the town of Sorrenti. Other towns in San Portina include Ischirione, Capriotti, and Menicucci. San Portina's official language is Qoati, a remnant of its establishment as a Quetanan trading outpost. The country is widely recognised as one of the most expensive and wealthiest places in the world. Through ongoing land reclamation, started in 1861 and accelerating in the 1960s, San Portina's small land mass has expanded by 8 per cent.
San Portina was inhabited by oceanway traders for hundreds of years before it came under the control of the Emmirian empires as a fortified outpost entering the Croix Sea. The Quetanan Empire took control of the fort in the early 1500s and grew the peninsula into a vital trade post. After the Barretoan Wars, San Portina became an independent principality. San Portina's economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with the opening of the state's first casino, the Caronte Visco Casino. Since then, San Portina's mild climate, scenery, and gambling facilities have contributed to the principality's status as a tourist destination and recreation centre for the rich. In more recent years, San Portina has become a major banking centre and has sought to diversify its economy into the services sector and small, high-value-added, non-polluting industries. San Portina is famous as a tax haven, as the principality has no personal income tax and low business taxes. Over 6% of the residents are millionaires, with real estate prices reaching €100,000 (ℤ116,374) per square metre in 2018. San Portina is considered a global hub of money laundering, known for its failures in financial supervision and reform to inhibit global criminality and terrorism financing.
