Lusotanie, officially the Republic of Lusotanie (Lusotanian: República de Lusotanie), or the Federal Republic of Lusotanie, is a country located in Northern Thrismari. Lusotanie shares borders with Chengsheng, Inchyroa and Lumakia to the east, New Greenia and Bikinia to the south and Tyrellia to the west (maritime border). The country gains maritime access to the Iaso Sea and the Alabaster Gulf. Lusotanie is composed of TBA states, with a total area of TBA square kilometer (TBA squares miles). Lusotanie has total population of approximately 124 million people, having a population density of TBA people per square km. Lusotanie is a federal parliamentary republic, with its capital in Santa Clara, although the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial center is Porto. Other major urban areas include TBA.
The history of Lusotanie dates back 800,000 years with the arrival of the first Neanderthal tribes, who lived as nomadic hunters, fishers, and gatherers. By 30,000 BCE, Homo sapiens began to replace Neanderthals, completing this transition by 25,000 BCE. The first sedentary settlements emerged around 5000 BCE, focusing on agriculture, livestock, and craftsmanship. In 20 BCE, the County of Gallenia united various settlements, marking the beginning of centralized power in the region. This entity evolved into the Duchy of Gallenia in 1120 AD and later into the United Kingdom of Gallenia in 1323 AD. The formation of the Lusotanian Empire in 1492 brought territorial expansion and initiated a period of prosperity known as the "Golden Centuries."
In 1645, a parliamentary monarchy was established, gradually empowering the bourgeoisie over the nobility. By the 18th century, liberal ideas known as "Libertan Reformism" began to spread. In 1819, dissatisfaction with the monarchy led to the War of the Militias, resulting in the First Republic in 1821. This technocratic regime limited voting rights to a small elite and excluded marginalized groups. In 1894, a popular revolt called the War of Liberty ended the First Republic, leading to the Second Republic in 1896, which enacted social reforms and expanded voting rights.
A military dictatorship ruled from 1920 to 1929, ending with the establishment of the Third Republic in 1929. The current constitution, adopted in 1931, laid the foundation for modern Lusotanie, promoting broader democratic participation and civil rights. In 1939, after years of debate, women's suffrage was approved. Starting in the 1940s, the government began implementing economic policies aimed at growth, creating large business conglomerates that controlled various economic sectors, which today are some of the largest companies in the country. Taking advantage of low production costs due to low wages and the near absence of labor laws, the country developed a strong textile and manufacturing industry focused on exports. This was accompanied by protectionist measures, imposing high tariffs on certain domestically produced goods. Thus, between the 1940s and 1970s, the country experienced significant economic growth, with average annual rates above 5%. The industry diversified, transitioning from textiles and manufacturing to technological exports, pharmaceuticals, agribusiness, and luxury fashion. The country gradually opened up to the world, integrating into international markets and transitioning to a modern and developed economy by the 1980s.
Today, Lusotanie has established itself as a global technological, cultural and educational hub. It boasts a strong technological and manufacturing industry, being one of the world's leading exporters. Other economic sectors, such as tourism, have also experienced significant growth in recent years, with 33 million tourists visiting in 2022. The country has a large and developed economy, ranking among the most important in terms of GDP.
