The Republic and Kingdom of Shoassau, most commonly known as Shoassau, is a landlocked nation located on the continent of Euronia in Iearth, bordered by Avergnon, Chaesia, and Blaoria. It is composed of 8 federated states, including the capital and largest city of Staventer, second-largest city Auvergne, and third-largest city Alsace. Shoassau occupies an area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi) and has a population of 1.2 million people. Drambenburgian and Avergnonian are the country's official languages, but Shoassauan dialects are also spoken extensively.

Shoassau initially emerged as a margraviate around 894 and developed into a duchy and archduchy. In the 15th century, Shoassau was conquered by Drambenburgian kingdoms and started serving as the heart of extensive trading networks in Euronia. It was a major component and administrative centre of the Holy Drambenburgian Empire. Following the defeat of Drambenburg in 1954 at the end of the World War and an extended period of Allied occupation, Shoassau was re-established as a sovereign and self-governing democratic nation known as the Second Republic.

Shoassau is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, with King Darien IV serving a largely ceremonial role as the head of state, and Prime Minister Gabriel Leitner as the head of government. Shoassau is a member state of the Coalition of Crown Albatross, the Coalition Trade Organization, and many other international agreements.
