New Aragon, formally the Kingdom of New Aragon (Catalan: Regne del Nou Aragó, French: Royaume du Nouvel Aragon) is an island country located in Atlantic Ocean. It is composed of four constituent countries: Sant Joan, Ventalló, Magrana, and Cadaqués. It has a population of 50,210,779 with an area of 61,921 sq mi.
It was discovered by Ferdinand Magellan in 1519 before he went to the Philippines and it became a Spanish colony as a Captaincy General of New Aragon in 1570. During the Siege of Barcelona in 1714, many people emigrated to Daurada and their population increased. It declared independence from Spanish Empire in 1767 after the Spaniards lost in the war against the Dauradese separatists in the Battle of New Aragon. After the constitution enacted for the official establishment of the kingdom at the same year, Joan I became the first King of New Aragon. In 1789, the people from France also emigrated to Daurada due to the massive damage of the French Revolution. Carles II abdicated his throne in 1939 and he exiled in the United States because the Monarchist lost by the Republicans in the New Aragonese Civil War. At the same year, the Republic of New Aragon established and Ramon Barthélemy became the first president of the republic. In 1972, the republic dissolved resulting into the restoration of the monarchy after the end of the seven-year dictatorship of Artur Benet and Caterina became the new monarch of New Aragon until her death in 1997.
