Suhala (/suhɑːlə/ soo-HAH-lə), officially the Democratic Republic of Suhala (Suhalan: Refufijqpe Pofujare Suxare [rɛfuvijk͡pɛ pɔfularɛ suxarɛ]) is a transcontinental sovereign nation located in the Solarian Sea, between Euclea and Coius. It shares maritime borders with Tsabara to its south and east, Paretia to its north, and Etruria to its west. Suhala has a population of 7.325 million people and is a very urbanized nation, with its largest city being the capital Nepitagara.
The homeland of the Suhalan people, Suhala is a majority Sotirian country, with significant Irfan and Atudite minorities. Suhala's position in the Aurean Straits has made it very important throughout history, and the island has been inhabited since the paleolithic era. The earliest peoples in Suhala are only known as the Proto-Suhalans, whom were eventually supplanted on the south of the island by the Nimenes, whom came into conflict with the Piraeans. Suhala was part of the Solarian Empire for around 5 centuries, and in the middle ages was part of the Verliquoian empire and the Second Heavenly Dominion. In 1817, Etruria took control of the island, which would remain under Etrurian control until the end of the Solarian War. As part of the conditions, Suhala became a CN mandate for 2 years and became an independent state in 1948. From the early 60s to the mid-80s, Suhala was under the control of the socialist party the LRS, which eventually stepped down in 1985 following nationwide protests. The country would liberalize and push for admittance into the Euclean Community, however a corruption scandal in 2015 that brought down the largest establishment party and Etruria pulling out of its plan to join the EC in 2016 lead to the collapse of the initiative.
Today, Suhala is a unitary parliamentary republic with a highly developed economy. It is a member of the Community of Nations, the International Trade Organization, the Aurean Forum, and the Association of Solarian Nations.
Etymology
The word Suhala comes from an Estmerization of the Suhalan name for the country, Suxara, which derives from the Pardari word šakar meaning "sugar". This was likely adopted due to the fact that at the time of the initial Irfanic invasions, one of the islands main agricultural exports was sugar.
