Icardia, officially The Republic of Icardia, is a sovereign nation located in Arcadia. The main body of Icardia (referred to as Metropolitan Icardia) is located in the southern-central part of the continent, situated within the Bay of Chishil and with its northern border running along the Central Western Highlands. It is bordered by the Lohti Republic to the west, the Republic of the Isaar to the north-west, the Commonwealth of Neria directly north, and the Republic of Holteria to the east. As a result of numerous overseas territories, it also shares a maritime border with Neria, the Federation of Aquitaine, and the Kingdom of Wisdonia. It is the second most populous country in Arcadia, after Aquitaine, with a population of 76 million across an area of 572,000km2.
History

Politics
The Constitution of the Icardian Republic ratified in 1780 outlines a unitary parliamentary republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The president is directly elected by the people for a term of five years, and they can be re-elected for a maximum of two further terms (three terms in total). The prime minister, on the other hand, is a member of parliament (either the Senate or the National Assembly) appointed by the president. The constitution states that a prime minister must be able to command confidence of the parliament. This usually results in the prime minister being the leader of the largest party within the parliament, but this is not an explicit requirement.
