Satavia, officially the Satavian Federation, is an island country in western Asteria Inferior comprising the island of Satavia and several outlying islands. Satavia shares a maritime border with Nuvania across the Van Horn straight. Satavia is the smallest country in Asteria Inferior by land area and third smallest by population, but maintains the highest GDP per capita (PPP) and living standards on the continent. Satavia is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic, consisting of six provinces, two territories and one dependent territory in free association with Satavia, the Patrick Islands.[note 1] Satavia's capital, largest city and primary economic centre is Port Hope, whilst other major cities include Burnaby, Fort Dent, Northport, Port Arthur and Victoriaburg.
The first human habitation of the island began some 38,000 years ago, and they are the ancestors of modern Indigenous Satavians. Despite the advancements of neigbouring indigenous peoples in Asteria Inferior, native groups within Satavia remained relatively primitive, avoiding contact with other tribal groups such as those in Nuvania but nonetheless lived in general harmony
Notes
- ↑ Satavia maintains the islands are in free association; the position taken by the Community of Nations is that the islands are a non-self governing dependency
