Sintelia (/sɪn'tiːliɑ, -lja/, Sintelian: [sɪn'telia]) is a country in southeast Pharago, consisting of the Kuda archipelago as well as the southern tip of mainland Pharago. The archipelagic nation consists of thousands of islands, though the majority of these are uninhabited, and the country's 190 million people live on only around 5% of these islands, including Berimbang, Sarudaya, Sindang and Bulu, which is the country's most populous island, home to both the planned capital Bandar Kekuatan and the largest city Bengkudu. The country is hugely ethnically and linguistically diverse, with significant minority populations of Surambanese and Asofainese people in the west and east respectively. Over 600 ethnicities and 250 languages have varying degrees of recognition throughout the country.
Modern humans are thought to have inhabited the Kuda archipelago since at least 20,000 BC, first inhabiting Suramban. Most Sintelian ethnic groups can trace their roots to early migrations of humans from southern Cathan. Ihtiram first spread to the isles through Pharagian trade, often in syncretic form. Samsara eventually supplanted Ihtiram as the predominant religion in the region, however it still retained a crucial role on the archipelago. The Rajasvarna Kingdom was the first major power based out of the Kuda islands, based in the city of Tamanserah. The Rajasvarna developed extensive international trade networks and built large and extensive irrigation networks across the region, as well as establishing Old Kuda as the lingua franca in the region. The !Zulu prince Phiwokwakhe brought an end to the empire in the 15th century, conquering much of the Kuda islands and leaving a cultural legacy that persists to the modern day, including beadwork, clothing and religion. His kingdom quickly fractured after his death and the islands split into various thalassocratic states.
In the 18th century, merchants and traders from Hallania established initial Messenian presence in Sintelia, trading initially with Ihtiramic princes on Berimbang but later expanding their scope across the archipelago. By 1850, Hallania had established a nominal zone of influence around the archipelago. In the 1880s, following the !franco-prussian war, administration was consolidated and economic exploitation increased severely, mainly for resources and manpower. In 1940, the Bulu Rebellion significantly dented Hallanic ability to administrate the archipelago. Adopting Sintelia as a unifying identity following several decades of post-colonial philosophy and thought amongst educated natives, the rebellion eventually escalated into the Sintelian Revolution in 1941. Sintelia's independence was widely recognised by 1950, but costly insurgencies in Suramban and Asofaia as well as widespread corruption and embezzlement stifled the state's initial economic growth. Adilkata ruled the country as a strictly totalitarian dictatorship from 1961 to 1987, heavily increasing military influence and kickstarting Sintelian economic growth.
Sintelia is often viewed as an emerging power, undergoing rapid industrialisation and economic growth in recent years. International organisations view Sintelia as an authoritarian state, with excessive personality cults among Adilkata and his descendants, who hold immense power in the country as a political dynasty, though the country has undergone gradual liberalisation since the 1990s. Sintelia's economy is one of the world's largest, with a nominal GDP of $1.673 trillion and a PPP GDP of over $4 trillion, concentrated primary in the industrial and service sectors. Recently, the government has officially adopted the moniker of Pembicara Untuk Hak (literally "speaker for rights"), representing the country's position as a leader and proponent of third-worldism.
