Zhiguryian Republic (Zhiguryian: ジグリ共和国 [dʑigɯɾʲi kʲoːwakoku]) is a country located in the eastern portion of Olivacia. The country is bordered to the north by Thodalicia, to the west by Gran Rugido and to the south by the Kaldaz Ocean. With a population of 90 million inhabitants, Zhiguryia has 8 Provinces/states each with its own flag the biggest metropolis is Vrushire other major urban areas include Harawa, Nagano, Funayama and Yakumaki. Archeological records believe that early Zhiguryians arrived c. 7000 BCE and established small villages that evolved into smaller kingdoms or provinces following agricultural and political growth. The Proto-Formation era of Zhiguryia covers the years of 7000 BCE to circa 1900 BCE covers the formation and early competition between these kingdoms and civilizations. Notable kingdom rivalaries include the Samhan-Wei wars and the Takemi-Himawarian wars.

The Kingdom Era spans from 1900 BCE to roughly 1600 CE when one of the sole kingdoms, the Holy Kingdom of Akari united the area into the Zhiguryian Confederacy, until its eventual reformation to the Empire of Zhiguryia. The Empire became increasingly isolated and was often cited as a 'hermit kingdom' for the duration of the nation under the Gwangmu and the Yunghui dynasties.

The Zhiguryian Empire lasted 325 years when members of the Zhiguryian monarchy were shot by left-wing underground parties, wanting to open the country to the outside world. The ensuing civil war between the leftists and monarchists ended with a crushing victory from the Left Opposition. Ruling unopposed until 1992, the Left Opposition was deposed by the Nationalist Party of Zhiguryia (ZNP), an extremist-right wing nationalist party. In the ensuing years, radicalism in the ZNP began to slowly fade away when new and bigger parties were allowed in the system.

In the modern-age, Zhiguryia is classified as a developing country with it's economy scarring from the 1990s coup d'état. Specially close and inspired by its western neighbor, the system in the country has became more open and transparent in the last few decades, allowing human and basic right make their way into the country.
