Gapolania, officially Republic of Gapolania (Vespasian: Repubblica Gapolanese; Novalian: Gapolanijska Republika)) is a sovereign country in Asteria Inferior. It borders Caluchia to the south-west, while bordering the East Arucian Sea to the north-west (where it possesses the island of San Nuil) and the Lumine Ocean to the north and east. The country is a parliamentary unitary republic, divided into 11 governorates (governatorato, namjesništvo) and a capital domain of Nassea, which is also the republic's most populated city.

Povelian settlers first arrived in the region during early 16th century, establishing a port of Nassea. This was followed by a large Vespasian migration and spread of Catholicism in the newly established state. After the fall of the Povelian monarchy and establishment of Etrurian First Republic, Gapolania stayed in the country as a constituent republic, being the only Asterian colony to do so. The nation later integrated as well with United Kingdom of Etruria and Etrurian Second Republic, attracting many citizens, mostly Novelians to emigrate from politically and economically unstable Etruria and settle in Gapolania. The republic saw a great economic boom in the early 1900s and managed to avoid most effects of the Great Collapse. Gapolania would remain Etrurian colony during the Great War, in which it provided a noticeable support on the Asterian front. Following the Solarian War, Gapolania was granted independence in 1946. Early years of independence saw lack of strong leadership and popularization of socialism, especially among Novelian descendants. Nova Gapolanija, led by Marko Čosić won the majority of the seats in 1947 elections and soon declared Summer Constitution, which marked Gapolania as a socialist state. Up until 1980s, the country saw a social and economical decline, including Novelian supremacy, political suppression, xenophobia, agrarianism and discrimination against indigenous people. After the nation-wide protests in September 1980, prime minister Čosić resigned and dismissed the Senate. In the elections of 1980, socialist party lost the majority, allowing more liberal democracy to direct Gapolanese development.

Gapolania is a developed nation, with mixed market economy based on petrochemical industry, wood manufacturing, shipbuilding and fishing. Most of nation's energy supply comes from renewable resources, including hydroelectric facilities and wind parks. It's considered a high-income country and ranks well in economic freedom and income equality. It's a socially progressive country, with state-wide indigenous languages reintroduction and heritage protection programs. It's a member of Community of Nations, International Council for Democracy and International Trade Organization.
