Nadauro (/nɑːdɑːˈuːroʊ, -aʊroʊ/; Lavish: Anadaúro; Nadauran Lavish pronunciation: [anaˈdaˈuɾʊ]), officially the United Nadauran States, is a sovereign state in Elia Austral, the third-largest country in the Eastern Hemisphere, the world's fourth-largest country by area and the fourth most populous. It is bordered to the north by Helmenland straddling the Helmish Gulf and X, to the east by X, to the south by X and Darona, and to the west by X. Itabira is the nation's capital and largest city; other major cities of Nadauro include Forte de Agosto, Cidade Duarte, Itzcali, Salvador, Vila Rica, Castelo, Armala, and São Sebastião.

The nation's society is among the most ethnically diverse and multicultural ones in the world. Approximately two-thirds of its population practices X to an extent, making it the single most populous X-majority country; Nadauro is also the only country in Elia to have Lavish as its de facto official language. Its varied geography and high density of biodiversity shape the megadiverse country, ranging from the tropical rainforest of the X basin to the wetlands of the Mécalin peninsula and the Haitetl Desert.

The area of modern-day Nadauro has seen continuous human presence going back to 7,000 BCE in the late Paleolithic period. From the 6th and 5th centuries BCE onward, the Rift Valley of Nadauro gradually became one of the world's cradles of civilization, spawning a number of subsequent princely polities and city-states such as the Necaha, Cozahetl, Etalco, Mecatl, and the Ata cultures, and ultimately the expansive and hegemonic Huecean Empire by the first millennium AD. Calesian contact in 1505 precipitated the eventual conquest of the Huecean Empire by the Lavish Empire in 1547, leading to the civilization's swift collapse and the establishment of the colony of New Pania. The abundance of its mineral deposits, namely silver and gold, greatly contributed to Lavaria's rise as a global colonial power in the 17th century and the eventual elevation of New Pania to the status of a kingdom in 1732. After nearly three centuries of colonial rule, Nadauro achieved independence in 1819 following the successful Great Revolution in Darona as a constitutional monarchy under Emperor Luís I.

The political and economic upheaval of the newly independent nation state, caused in part by the Helmish War, culminated in a military coup d'état in 1858 and a Waldrich-backed royalist counter-coup in 1859. Efforts to introduce liberal reforms in the Constitution of 1874 saw brief flirtation with civil republicanism during the August War through the creation of the United Provinces of Nadauro; slavery was abolished in 1876. The short-lived federation would come to an end with the imposition of a royalist dictatorship under Emanuel Teixeira after the First Helmish–Nadauran War and 1885 National Schism, pursuing rapid modernization and industrialization. The rise of militarism and imperialist ambitions coincided with the introduction of fascism through Lúcio Cabral's seizure of power in 1921, in the wake of the 1909 Second Helmish–Nadauran War; Nadauro invaded Helmenland in 1934 and officially entered the Great War as an X power in 1936. Ultimately, Nadauro surrendered in 1940 amidst total defeat and was occupied by Y forces until 1950. The tenure of the new democratic republic would be interrupted by a violent military junta in the mid-1970s, which was itself overthrown by a return to civilian rule and the final abolition of the monarchy in 1979. Despite spectacular economic growth, Nadauro has suffered from a low-intensity, asymmetric armed conflict in Chaibia and political violence beginning in the 1980s.

Nadauro is a federal presidential constitutional republic, led by a President, as both head of state and head of government under a multi-party system; the current system was defined in the constitution introduced in 1983. The federated nation is composed of 19 states, 3 autonomous republics, and the Federal District. The developing and newly industrialized country is regarded as a historical regional or middle power, an emerging power of note in contemporary international affairs, and generally considered to be one of the world's leading emerging markets with the 5th-largest economy by nominal GDP and the 6th-largest by PPP. However, high income inequality, poverty, extensive crime, and corruption continue to plague the country. Nadauro is a founding member of the World Community (WC), the Organization of Elian States (OES), X.

Etymology

Main article: Name of Nadauro

The name of the country "Nadauro" may be derived from a shortened and abridged expression in the Lavish language, "banhado a ouro", meaning "gold plated" or "bathed in gold", from banhado ("bathe" or "steeped"), the preposition a ("in" or "with"), and ouro ("gold").

It is possibly in reference to the decorative use of gold for armor by the Huecean Empire beginning in the mid-1300s; multiple historical accounts, including conquistador Pedro Gárcia de Semhanas, confirm the presence of warriors clad in their ceremonial attire at the 1546 Parley of Tlecupilxan alongside Emperor Yolotzil, though no mention of their armor being plated in sheets or specks of gold specifically was ever made. Other sources allege the use of the expression was the result of the noted supposed abundance of gold within the Huecean Empire in its entirety, or even in reference to a metaphor for the sun rising in the east.

Although "Nadauro" had quickly achieved widespread public use as an epithet by the mid-17th century, the country was formally named "Vice-kingdom of New Pania" (Virreinato do Novo Pánia) by the Lavish Empire for the entirety of its colonial history, until it supplanted the latter when independence was achieved in 1819. From 1819–1858, from 1859–1874, and from 1885–1979 it was named the "Empire of Nadauro" (Império do Anadaúro), in 1858 "Republic of New Pania" (República do Novo Pánia), from 1874–1885 "United Provinces of Nadauro" (Províncias Unidas do Anadaúro), and since 1979 "United Nadauran States" (Estados Unidos Anadaúroleiros). However, the 1819 Constitutional Congress of Veracrúz referred to the modern-day Nadauran territory as "Central Elia" (Élia Central) in its constitutional draft and declaration of independence; subsequent constitutions in 1874, 1886, and 1923 each used the names "Nadauran Republic" (República do Anadaúro), "New Panian and Nadauran Union" (União Novo Pániaco e Anadaúroleiro), and "Nadauran Nation" (Nação Anadaúroleiro), respectively.
