Sovar (Sovarese: Sjóvar) officially the Republic of Sovar (Tjóðveldi Sjóvar) is an archipelagic country in Western Auressia in North Hesperian Ocean. The country has an area of TBD making it the one of the smallest countries in Auressia after Avilême. The country's capital and largest city is Sulastad. Most of the country's 347,382 citizens live in cities or towns. Roughly 1/3rd of the population live in Sulastad.
According to surviving records from the 9th century, Sovar was settled in in the late 8th Century by the TBD from TBD. The first permanent settlers from North-west Auressia, primarily from what is now Tyrnica and Rythene.
Sovar remained independent until it was annexed by Rythene in 1552. Under Rythenean rule the Sovarese language was repressed and all official business was conducted in Rythenean. At the outbreak of the Rythenean Revolution in 1790, Sovarese officials and various locals took control of the region's administrative building in Lagurstad and declared their support for the Rebellion. Despite small skirmishes by Monarchist supporters the islands would remain relatively peaceful compared to Rythene.
In 1952 an autonomous Parliament on the islands was established and Sovarese was adopted as the island's co-official language alongside Rythenean in a referendum in 1952. Shortly after this a Broken Arrow took place near the town of Palheim. 32 People were killed and the incident became the cause of a surge in support for Sovarese Independence. In a referendum in 1971, 68% of voters in the country voted to secede from Rythene and the country formally declared independence the following year.
Following independence, the Nationalist Sovarese Independence Party collapsed into several smaller parties, the largest being the Republican Party and the Progressive Party. The Republican party would remain in government from 1977 to 2007 when the Progressive Party along with other opposition parties formed the first ever Government without the Republicans.
Today Sovar is a Liberal democracy with a Mixed Market economy. Sovar has been described as a Welfare state with subsidised Healthcare and Education. The country is a member of the !UN. The country is considered to have a 'very high' and has a High average income.
