Saint Cyriaca (also known as Bitagron), officially known as the Republic of Saint Cyriaca (Kondre Tongo: Ripoluki Bitagron), is a country located in the southern Arucian Sea between Asteria Superior and Asteria Inferior, compromising the main island of Saint Cyriaca, the Isle of Krinskin and several small mostly uninhabited islands. It is west and north of Aucuria, east of Sainte-Chloé, and south of Imagua and the Assimas. The main city, located on the main island of the same name is Bitagron, with other major towns including Bigi Poika and Krinskin.
The modern-day territory of Saint Cyriaca was initially populated by various Busifolku tribes and was initially colonized by Hennehouwe in the late sixteenth century, being named after a Solarian patron saint of seafarers. They founded the city of Nieuwe Hoop, which is now the location of Bitagron. In 1655, the islands were taken over by Estmere. In the period between 1705 and 1796, colonial authorities enacted the Cultural System to enforce land-owners to use slaves for the production of cash crops for international trade, resulting in the island becoming a relatively major resource asset. With the abolition of slavery in 18xx, the slave population was gradually released with the labour being overtaken by Gowsa labourers. After the Great War, the islands were merged into the United Provinces, recieving independence in 1954 by popular vote.
Saint Cyriaca's economy is dominated by services, agriculture and tourism. Since 2009, the country has been led by President Winston Shuttleworth. It has been administrated as an unitary semi-presidential republic as defined in the constitution, and the nation enjoys a high standard of economic and social freedom. A vast majority of the population subscribes to the Solarian Catholic Church, with a smaller but significant minority which subscribes to the Brethren Church.
Etymology
Settlers from Hennehouwe initially named the islands Sint-Syriaca, after a Solarian patron saint of seafarers. Legend states that a group of Hennish explorers stranded on the island on October 5th, which is Saint Cyriaca's feast day in Solarian practise. The name Bitagron, which is preferred in domestic usage, is a possible calque from Busifolku into Kondre Tongo.
