Sugar Coast, also known as Sukkerkysten and officially the Republic of Sukkerkysten (Waldish: Republikken Sukkerkysten), is a country located on the southern coast of East Hylasia, bordering X to the west, X to the north, Zhudan to the east, and the Bight of Asuca and X to the south. The majority of its population lives on the southern coastline of the country and around the Eba river and its delta. The political capital of Sugar Coast is Gobona, while the country's largest city and economic capital is the port city of Ykora located further south. Sugar Coast accounts for an area of 48,283 square kilometres (18,642 sq mi) and its population in 2021 was estimated to be approximately 21.85 million.
First permanent states and chiefdoms in the territories of present-day Sugar Coast were founded as far back as the 10th century. A number of kingdoms emerged over the course of history, and more noticably city states later asserted much political and economic control. Interest in the region emerged at the begin of the 15th century, with numerous Calesian powers contesting the area for trading rights and colonial possessions.
The Waldish first settled a protectorate and ultimately established control of the coast by the late 1870s amid the Calesian scramble for Hylasia. Shortly after, the colony of Waldish Sukkerkysten was founded. Following a century of native resistance, Sugar Coast officials declared the country independent of Waldrich on 12 September 1965, sparking anarchy and social turmoil before being quelled by Waldish and UC forces thereafter and establishing an United Congress mandate mission in 1966. When Sugar Coast was released on 27 October 1969, the government sought to maintain unity within the country, but failed, resulting in a civil war ravaging throughout the 1970s. The republic has had a tumultous history since then, having experienced a series of democratic governments, coup d'états, and military governments. Beginning in 1993, Asuca introduced a stable and democratic system, paving the way for broader international cooperation and emerging as a regional power and economic powerhouse for East Hylasia.
Sugar Coast's population spans a great variety of ethnic groups, religions, languages, traditions, and cultures. Approximately X% of the country was X, X% was X, 3.4% was X, and another 6.1% practiced native and traditional faiths. Its diverse geography and ecology dominate the country, ranging from tropical rain forests to coastal savannas and other wetlands and arid Template:Deserts to the north. As a tropical nation, it is therefore somewhat dependent on agriculture, and is a large exporter of cotton, coffee, cocoa and palm oil. Waldish is the official language of Sugar Coast, though a large diaspora of indigenous languages is also present.
Sugar Coast is a unitary constitutional republic, led by a President as both head of state and head of government under a multi-party system; the current system was defined in the constitution introduced in 1999. The country's economic growth, prosperity, and democratic government have made it a sizable player in X politics and wields disproportionate power for its size and location. Sugar Coast is a member state of the United Congress, the X.
