Esenia (Portuguese: Essênia), officially the Empire of Esenia (Portuguese: Império de Essênia), is a country located in South America. It is the only nation on the continent that shares a coastline with both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean besides Colombia. Esenia is bordered by all other countries in South America and covers roughly half of the continent's land area, making it the largest country in Latin America. It is one of the few nations in the New World with a monarchy. Esenia is the third largest economy in the world as well as the world's seventh most populous country. Due to over a century of mass immigration from around the globe, it is one of the world's most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, as well as the most populous Roman Catholic-majority country in the world. Esenia's Amazon basin is home to the world's largest and best known tropical rainforest, featuring diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, extensive natural resources, and numerous habitats protected by federal law. This unique environmental heritage makes Esenia a megadiverse country and the most biodiverse country in the world.

History
The territory which would become known as Esenia is was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior contact with Europeans. On the eve of the arrival of the Second Portuguese India Armada in 1500, the coastal areas of Esenia had two major mega-groups – the Tupi (speakers of Tupi–Guarani languages), who dominated practically the entire length of the Esenian Atlantic coast, and the Tapuia (a catch-all term for non-Tupis, usually Jê language people), who resided primarily in the interior. The Portuguese arrived in the final days of a long pre-colonial struggle between Tupis and Tapuias, which had resulted in the defeat and expulsion of the Tapuias from most coastal areas. Although the coastal Tupi were broken down into sub-tribes, frequently hostile to each other, they were culturally and linguistically homogeneous.
