Redinea, known officially as the Kingdom of Redinea, is a sovereign nation located in northern Westorra. Governed as a unitary constitutional monarchy, it has a population of 93 million and a total landmass of 8,515,767 km². The capital and largest city is Lochmour.
Founded in 1489 through the unification of the Kingdoms of Placeholder and Placeholder, Redinea was initially governed by an absolute monarchy and became a global power in the 1500s through its dominance of East-West trading routes and naval superiority. Subsequent prosperity led to the establishment of a powerful landowning class, which asserted its political power in competition with the monarchy until the Treaty of Lochmour established the Parliament of Redinea in 1652. Employing a form of semi-imperialism to maintain its trading dominance, Redinea became the world's premier economic power in the 1700s and extended significant geopolitical influence over the rest of northern Westorra.
The rapid industrialisation of the economy in the late 1700s, particularly in urban cities, triggered class-based political turmoil as social inequalities grew and by the early 1800s a combination of trade unionist and extra-parliamentary activity pressured Parliament into the Sturbridge Compromise of 1812. This expanded suffrage to a majority of the male population for the first time and greatly reduced the powers of the monarchy in favour of the legislature. A series of conflicts in northern Westorra throughout the 1800s led to a Redinean policy of isolationism with the continent which allowed it to maintain its economic dominance, but the rise of imperial rivals in Placeholder and Placeholder by the turn of the 20th Century greatly challenged Redinea's control of access to global trading routes. With its geopolitical status diminished, Redinea became embroiled in Westorran conflicts in the early 1900s, culminating in its successful participation in the Herultian War of 1931-1934. A post-war liberal shift in politics saw the expansion of suffrage to women and the establishment of the welfare state, with Redinea also playing a major role in the establishment of a rules-based international order.
Economic turmoil in the late 1950s as a result of the Northern Depression saw Redinea begin a decades-long process of deindustrialisation and an eventual turn to a service-based economy, though a strong agricultural sector was maintained. Redinea was a founding member of the Global Assembly in 1964 and the Organisation of Westorran Cooperation in 1978. The 1980s saw an economic resurgence which brought notable improvements in education and healthcare provision, followed by a liberalisation of social values in the 1990s and 2000s. In the 21st Century, Redinea has remained a global power with the second largest economy in Westorra, an advanced military and extensive cultural influence.
