Arcadia or formally the Arcadian Senatorial Republic (Arcadian: Repubblica Senatoriale D'Arcadica) is a country primarily located on Normerra, on the Meredonne continent. Bordering the Paisi Ocean to the north, the Aestas Sea to the south, and the countries of Lativa and Sarremaa, Austilos, and Layfet to the east and southeast. Also to the east is the Culmia Region, which currently forms a conflict over perceived sovereignty and land rights. It makes up the largest share of land on Normerra, and the vast majority of the population of Normerra lives in Arcadia or Arcadian-administered territories. Additionally, several large islands in the Aestas Sea (called the Large Aestas Islands)
Modern humans arrived in the area thousands of years ago, but it is unknown exactly when. At one point, a series of local tribal chiefs formed a kingdom. Additionally, languages similar to OTHER ROMANCE LANGUAGE or OTHER ROMANCE LANGUAGE migrated to the region via unknown means and became the dominant language of the population. These languages would morph to become modern Arcadian. This kingdom, now called the Kingdom of Arcadia (allegedly named for the Arcadian Valley) became the dominating force of the region.
The kingdom remained more or less stable and seized control of much of the territory in modern Arcadia, including a brief venture into Irassia and the conquest of Culmia. During this time, Catholicism became the dominant religion in most of the country, and became the sole state religion in 1370. A communist revolution in 1901 overthrew the monarch, and saw the adult males of the royal family executed and the women and children deported and exiled. The Socialist Republic would last until 1971, where after two and a half years of civil war it was formally deposed and a provisional government was formed. In 1974, the first free elections for a new government were held.
Today Arcadia is a parliamentary republic with a mostly ceremonial head of state in the president, with most practical governing power belonging to the Senate Speaker. It is considered a highly developed country with high income and GDP per capita, with the DEVELOP RANK highest GDP in the world. In foreign relations, Arcadia is heavily involved in the Culmian Conflict and is often blamed for the conflict. Arcadia remains allied with the Protectorate of Culmia and the Culmian National Council, and is in conflict with the Culmian Children of Fanthar. It is also a member of the UN EQUIVALENT? and INSERT INTL ORGS PLS.
Etymology
History
Geography
At AREA, Arcadia is the RANK largest country in the world by area, and is the largest country on Normerra. The volcano Mt. Tomás is the highest mountain in the country. The country lies nearly entirely in Meredonne, with a chain of islands in the Aestas Sea being the only non-mainland directly administered Arcadian territory.
Arcadia primarily lies between latitudes 19°N and 31°N and longitudes 112°E and 126°E.
Bordering the Paisi Ocean to the north, the Aestas Sea to the south, with the countries of Lativa and Sarremaa, Austilos, and Layfet lying to the east and southeast. Also to the east is the Culmia Region. It shares a maritime border with Nicersdah as well.
Climate
Most of Arcadia is dominated by the humid subtropical climate (Cfa/Cwa). As one nears the western tip of the country, the climate gradually becomes slightly less humid and is more arid. As one moves further south, the weather become slightly more tropical. The Aestas Islands, near the equator, qualify as tropical. as the winter season and all months have a mean temperature above 18.0 °C (the defined coldest monthly mean temperature of tropical climates).
Seasonally, summers are generally hot and humid throughout the entire country. Air currents pump hot and moist air mass from the tropical Aestas Sea and Paisi Ocean towards Normerra as whole, creating the typical sultry tropical summers. Daytime highs are often in the upper 20s to the mid 30s celsius. Rainfall is summer concentrated along the southern coast. Sunshine is abundant across the country in summer, as the rainfall often comes in quick, but intense downpours. The summer months are by far the wettest portion of the year for the majority of the country. The Aestas Islands on the other hand are much wetter, qualifying as a tropical rainforest climate, receiving more than 60mm of rain every month.
Winters are colder in the western tip, with average highs in the 7 °C range in January. Farther east, winters become milder, with average January highs in the 12 °C range. As one nears the Aestas Sea, coastal plain, and coastal areas of the south, winters become warm, with daytime highs near or over 16 °C. Winters tend to be very dry and sunny. In the Aestas Islands, sunny and wet weather is constant year round.
Topography
The country is relatively flat as a whole, with most elevation changes being rolling hills, shallow valleys, and canyons cut by rivers. Springs form the majority of river sources in the country, and many flow north-south or west-east.
Geology
With the Normerran Plate converging into the PLATE NEXT TO ASTARIAX Plate, earthquakes are very common in the north and west
