Rotania, officially the Republic of Rotania (Tieradan: Republica de Rotania), is a country in West Tusola. The capital and largest city of Bonafle, which has a population of 12 million people, is located on the country's Cercian Ocean coastline. With 125 million residents, Rotania is the largest country in Tusola by both population and land area. The country is divided into six federal regions, which include a total of 22 federal states.
The area now known as Rotania has been settled by various ethnic and cultural groups for thousands of years. The modern polity was created as a part of Tieradan West Tusola in the 19th century, and reorganized into its modern borders in 1906. After a multi-decade struggle for independence, Rotania gained sovereignty in 1976 as an associated state of Tierada. The country's first president, Adisa Abellán, became embroiled in civil war in 1981 and was overthrown by Diego Blanco in 1988. The civil war concluded in 1990, at which point Rotania exited its association with Tierada and became a fully-independent country.
Rotania is one of the most culturally-diverse states in the world, with over 200 ethnic groups within its borders. The sole official language at the national level is Tieradan, which is spoken by 82% of the population and used as an inter-cultural language due to the high amount of linguistic diversity in the country. Tariqa is the most-practiced religion in Rotania with over 65% of the country adhering to the faith, while significant minorities practice Wedianism and various traditional Tusolan relgions.
The country is widely considered a dictatorship by the international community. Rotanian president Diego Blanco has been in power since 1988; police brutality, intimidation of journalists and dissenters, and electoral fraud are well-documented and commonplace. Despite this, Rotania has an extremely low level of corruption compared to much of Tusola and has seen consistent economic growth and development since the 1990s. Except for its sparsely-populated northeastern region, Rotania is known as being one of the safest countries on the continent in terms of crime and violence. The country's economy is largely based on the production and export of fossil fuels, minerals, and agricultural goods.
