Isthmeia (from Occidental Aroman: ἰσθμός isthmos "neck"), officially called the Republic of Isthmeia, is a sovereign nation on Eurth. Headed by the President of Isthmeia, Éktoras Lýkos.[a] The nation's capital and largest city is Isthmus City. Ostensibly a democratic republic, Isthmeia is strongly influenced by nearby Advocatius, with a heavy military presence in its southeastern border area.[b]
Etymology
The nation of Isthmeia derived its name from the geographical term Isthmos, referring to a strip of land that connects two larger bodies of land, while separating two large bodies of water. It was an apt name for the country, as it was situated between larger neighbouring countries and bordered by two seas.
Geography
The Republic of Isthmeia is located between the Alharun and Aurelian continents, a tropical and humid stretch of land. This location had both its advantages and disadvantages.
- (Rewrite) On one hand, it served as a natural barrier against invaders and provided a source of valuable resources, such as minerals and precious stones. On the other hand, it also made the country vulnerable to the harsh conditions of the desert, such as sandstorms and extreme heat.
Despite the challenges, the location of Isthmeia also brought many opportunities, such as the potential for trade with two continents and the possibility of developing renewable energy sources from the vast river networks.
History
In 2020 the nation went through a bloodless coup. A dissident faction led by Captain Símon Kókkino,[c] comprised of a cadre of police officers, had been initially trained in $neighbouringCountry and four senior military officers. They are hopeful for a peaceful end to corruption. President Éktoras Lýkos resigned, and most of his government with him. The dissidents take over responsibility for governing Isthmeia and hold an inquiry into Frants Ierótita’s demise, and other matters.
Politics
Ostensibly governed by the Isthmeian Revolutionary Party (Spanish: Partido Revolucionario Isthmo; Greek: Epanastatikó Kómma Isthmoú), under President Éktoras Lýkos, the country was heavily corrupt; influenced by Frants Ierótita's drug cartel.[d] Ierótita's policy of "plata o plomo" (literally "silver or lead", colloquially "[accept] money or [face] bullets"), in addition to the bribery of countless government officials, police, and politicians, ensured that Isthmeia would be a secure base of operations. During the height of its operations, the Ierótita Cartel's main distribution centre was located in Isthmeia; the centre of an invisible cocaine empire, stretching from Roqoo to Côte de Fourrure.
Economy
Isthmeia's capital city is polarised between those in extreme poverty and the very wealthy; with high levels of unemployment. Notable locations in Isthmeia include its largest bank, the Banco de Isthmeia, the Casino de Isthmeia (both owned and operated by Frants Ierótita), the El Presidente' Hotel, Olympatec Meditation Institute, and the Paso del Diablo. The city is served by Isthmus City International Airport.
