The Federal Republic of Acadia (Lysian: Le République Fédérale d'Acadie), more commonly known as Acadia (Lysian: Acadie), is a federal presidential constitutional republic consisting of [number] provinces and a federal district. The nation is located on the continent of Aurelia, bordered to the east by Shffahkia, to the north by the Diné Republic and sharing a sea border with Asgeirria. At a population estimated at about 43.2 million people, Acadia is a fairly sized nation. The capital and most populous city in the country is Auvergne.

The first to populate Acadian borders were the Diné, whose ancestors may eventually trace back to the first settlers from Marenesia, however historians can not agree who their ancestral group really was. The native people settled the area in around 800 CE formed a short-lived confederation of tribes known as the Diné Confederation, however the multiple tribes, though united culturally, were often involved in several disagreements and skirmishes which led to its dissolution estimated around 50 years after it formed. At around 1300 CE, the formation of the Dinénahasdzáán Empire was first documented, and the native nation thrived for about 300 years until the arrival of Europan settlers from Lys.

In the 17th Century, settlers from Europa first arrived in what is now Arcadie and established the city of L'Arcadie and the Arcadia colony, later renamed to Acadia. The colony merged with the nearby New Normandy and New Lysia colonies to form the broader colony of Acadia, which was eventually incorporated into the Shffahkian colonies and later the Shffahkian Empire. After the Independence War of 1830, the short-lived United States of Acadia was annexed into the First Shffahko Republic. As this state devolved into a dictatorship, Acadians were angered once again and rebelled in the Shffahko-Acadian civil war, leading to the eventual creation of the Federal Republic of Acadia, and opened the perfect opportunity for the collectivist revolutionaries in Shffahkia to rise.

Etymology

The origins of the name "Acadia" come from the first colony in Acadia, the coastal Arcadia colony. "Arcadia" originates deep inside Tagmatium and supposedly means "refuge" or "idyllic place." Henry IV of Lys is rumored to have first dropped the r in Arcadia, leading to the general dropping of the r throughout Lys and the Acadia colony, though this is disputed, and some believe that the name change came from a mistake in the widely popular Atlas Paneurthica.

Geography

Almost all of inland Acadia is a desert, known as the Acadian desert, whereas on the coast, where most of the population lives, incoming sea breezes conflict with the warm desert winds which allows for more weather patterns and a slightly cooler climate. Along the Shffahko-Acadian border, several mountains tower above river valleys.
