Asuca (Lavish: Açùcar), officially the Asucar Republic (Lavish: República da Açùcar) and formerly known as Costa Açùcar or the Sugar Coast, is a country located on the southern coast of West X, bordering X to the west, X to the north, X to the east, and the Bight of Asuca and X to the south. The majority of its population lives on the southern coastline of the country and around the Eba river and its delta. The political capital of Asuca is Gobona, while the country's largest city and economic capital is the port city of Ykora located further south. Asuca accounts for an area of 48,283 square kilometres (18,642 sq mi) and its population in 2017 was estimated to be approximately 21.85 million. Asuca is a tropical nation, therefore somewhat dependent on agriculture, and is a large exporter of cotton, coffee, cocoa and palm oil.

First permanent states and chiefdoms in the territories of present-day Asuca were founded as far back as the 10th century. A number of kingdoms emerged over the course of history, and more noticably city states later asserted much political and economic control. Interest in the region emerged at the begin of the 15th century, with numerous Iraian powers contesting the area for trading rights and colonial possessions.
