Riovenia, officially the Unitary Republic of Riovenia, is a country in southeast Nortua, consisting of a continental landmass and many islands in the Strait of Grelend. Riovenia is bordered by Zoygaria to the west, Coaitte to the north, Grelend to the east, and has maritime border with Vitosium to the south. It covers a territory of 88,499 square kilometers and is the 3rd southernmost country in Nortua. Terroliva is the nation's capital and largest city; other major cites include Bela Vid, Bataloni, and Monti Raiso. Riovenia's climate is typically characterized by a mediterranean climate, with a temperate climate on the west.
After decades of civil unrest, riots and vandalism, Riovenian independence from Zoygaria was declared in 27 July 1910, which was shared with Archravia. Riovenia agreed to be part of the Zoygarian commonwealth as part of the independence agreement and terms. Following the adoption of the first constitution two days after gaining independence, the first president, Júlio Agapov, was elected. Until the late 1940s, the riovenian economy was focused mainly on the export of agricultural goods, with the few industries being mainly construction centered. However this changed after the start of the World War in 1949, which helped industrialize the nation by the implementation of defense-based industry in the country's main cities. Riovenia was aligned with the League Forces during the World War. After the end of the World War, many of the industries built in the war were repurposed for multiple sectors, which led to a diversification of the economy and economy stability during the mid 1960s and the early 1970s. The economic industrialization not only strengthened the agricultural sector, which became known worldwide due to olive exportations, but also contributed to development of the automobile and appliance industry.
Riovenia is a unitary republic. The country has been member of the zoygarian imperial commonwealth since its foundation and joined the coalition of crown albatross in 1988. with a recurrent neutral view over foreign matters.
Etymology
The name Riovenia etymologically means either 'land of the river people ' or 'riverland', and is a modern form of the term "Rivusvĕnŭ", being the combination of both the word Rivus, which means river in latin, and the word vĕnŭ, which means people in former slav languages. The name "Rivusvĕnŭ" commonly refered to the area east of former Zoygarian Empire's center. Despite being really popular, it stopped being used after the regionalization of the Zoygarian territory in 1876, by which the modern name of "Riovenia" was set to the region, and subsequently, the country.
