Visargia, officially the Republic of Visargia, is a nation in the north of Thuadia. It is bordered to the north by the Big Ocean, to the northwest by Nerany, to the east by Apple Landia, to the south by Empty Land and Kistolia, and to the west by Anderum. The country has an area of 00,000 square kilometers with a population of 72.82 million according to the most recent estimates. Visargia is a unitary state operating under a parliamentary republic. The capital is Kiem, which also serves as one of the key economic and cultural hubs of the nation. Other major cities include Barinze, Dretnem, Ersin, and Heimkar.

The modern state of Visargia was formed gradually through the union of three main entities, the Duchy of the Hofesar, the Kingdom of Wahelin, and the Kingdom of Patajania. Wahelin and Patajania would unite under one ruler by the early 17th century whilst the Hofesar would join the union by the end of the 17th century. Visargia had a long tradition of monarchism prior to the Visargine Revolution of 1919 which would see the Emperor flee the country and renounce the throne with the first Republican government coming to fruition in the aftermath.

Demographics

Visargia is home to an 72.82 million people according to the most recent census, in 2019, with that number now estimated to have surpassed 73 million. The country's population saw a particular boom from the start of the 19th century until the mid 20th century with the population tripling between 1800 and 1950. The country's primary ethnic group are the Visargines who make up for an estimated 87% of the population according to the most recent census. The country has seen a rise in the number of immigrants since the 1950s with a notable part of the country's population growth since then being due to these immigrants.

Visargia's birth rate currently stands at around 11.2 births per 1000 women per year, this number has been in continual decline since the mid 19th century with a particular decline since the 1960s with the birth rate declining from 18.8 births per 1000 women in 1964 to 11.2 births per 1000 women in 2020. In 2021, 813,075 babies were born in Visargia, the lowest number since 2002. Some of the decline has been accredited to a rise in working women as well as the expense of raising children in the country today.
