'''Emessa''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɛ|m|ə|s||ə}} {{respell|E|mə|sə}}; {{wp|Sardinian language|Sorianu}}: ''Imisu'' {{wp|International Phonetic Alphabet|[ˈimisu]}}), officially the '''State of Emessa''' ({{wp|Sardinian language|Sorianu}}: ''Istadu de Imisu'' {{wp|International Phonetic Alphabet|[isˈtaðu de ˈimisu]}}) is a [[Badawiya|northwest Coian]] {{wp|island country}} consisting of the eponymous {{wp|archipelago}} in the [[Solarian Sea]]. It lies 94 km (58 mi) southeast of [[Florena]], 100 km (62 mi) west of [[Tsabara]] and 179 km (111 mi) east of [[Etruria]]. Emessa's location at the crossroads of the [[Euclea]]n and [[Coius|Coian]] continents has shaped its rich history and shaped a national identity of [[Demographics of Emessa#Religion|religious]] and [[Demographics of Emessa#Ethnicity|ethnic]] diversity. The official language is {{wp|Sardinian language|Sorianu}}, generally considered the closest descendant to {{wp|Solarian language|Solarian}}, with the {{wp|Semitic languages|Shasites}} {{wp|Maltese language|Badaviu}} and {{wp|Hebrew language|Atudite}} languages enjoying the status of {{wp|national languages}}.


Emessa has been continuously inhabited since the {{wp|Paleolithic|Paleolithic age}}. Owing to their strategic location in the middle of the Solarian Sea, the islands have been contested and ruled by a succession of powers including the [[Sanian civilisation|Sanian]]s, [[Atudea|Atudites]], [[Piraean]]s, [[Solarian Empire|Solarians]], [[Zorasan|Arasanid]]s, [[Verliquoian Empire|Verliquoian]], the [[First Heavenly Dominion|Heavenly Dominion]], {{wp|Crusader states|Crusaders}}, [[Florena]]ns, [[Etruria]]ns, and [[Gaullica]]ns, all leaving their mark on the islands's ancient culture. Independent principalities called [[vicariates]] emerged between periods of foreign domination, and became the main powers on the archipelago from the 13th to the early 19th century, with Emessa being a centre of {{wp|piracy}} in the Solarian Sea and beyond during that period.
[[Etruria]] invaded and captured the port city of [[Lyria]] in the name of an anti-piracy operation in 1814, gradually expanding their rule over the entire archipelago and concluding in 1839 with the [[Emessan War]]. The islands saw fighting during the [[Battle of Emessa]] in the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] and again in the [[Solarian War]], also called War of Independence in the country. Emessa became a joint [[Community of Nations#Trusteeship Committee|trust territory]], and achieved independence in 1950, shortly after the [[Catherby Conference]]. A [[First Triumvirate (Emessa)|military triumvirate]] assumed power in the name of restoring stability during a period of religious strife from 1959-1964, and a [[Second Triumvirate (Emessa)|second triumvirate]] came to power in 1980 during a [[Alban War|conflict with Tsabara]] and disbanding six years later with the fall of Tsabara's communalist régime.
Today, Emessa is a {{wp|parliamentary system}} democracy with {{wp|confessionalism|confessionalist}} characteristics, with power being shared between the islands' religious communities: {{wp|Christianity|Sotirianity}}, [[Irfan]], and {{wp|Judaism|Atudism}}. Despite periods of troubles, the country has remained fairly calm and prosperous, with a {{wp|Developing country|upper middle income}} economy driven by the {{wp|tertiary sector}}, notably {{wp|tourism}} and {{wp|banking}}, and a high {{wp|human development index}}. Emessa is a member of the [[Community of Nations]], the [[International Council for Democracy]], the [[International Trade Organisation]], and the [[Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs]]. Historically neutral and maintaining a policy of {{wp|armed neutrality}}, the country has nonetheless moved closer to the [[Euclean Community]] since the [[Alban War]], with accession negotiations being underway since 2012.
