Orientia, officially known as Republic of The Orient (Korean: 동연방국; /tongyʌn paŋkuk/) or simply The Orient is a federal republic primarily located in the Asia, it is bordered by Nusantara to the south, Russia to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the east, Turkestan to the west. At 9 million square kilometers (3 million square miles), it is one of the world's largest country by total area. It is the most populous country in the world with 1.4 billion people, and its capital city is Hanyang.

The region of what it is today Orientia, historically was one of the oldest inhabited places on the planet and home to one of the oldest civilizations; the Chinese civilization, considered one of the first cradles of civilization. Other ancient civilizations in the region that still exist today are the Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian civilizations. Various other civilizations existed as independent polities in the east in the past, but were absorbed into neighboring civilizations in modern times. Taeman Island has a relatively recent history in the area after the prehistoric era; Originally, it was an important site of Austronesian civilization before colonization by European colonial powers and Tianxia from the 17th century. For thousands of years, China was the dominant civilization in the region until World War 3 in 2040.

Orientia is currently governed as a federal republic. It is is a permanent member of the Earth League Security Council. It ranks among the highest in measurements of civil liberties, government transparency, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and ethnic minorities.

Orientia is a recognized nuclear-weapon state with the world's largest standing army by military personnel, taking China's army as its own, as well as its defense systems. Its is considered to be a regional superpower due to its large markets, high innovation, economic potential, growing military strength, and influence in international affairs. Being one of the largest spiritual nation and having the highest concentration of Hunters in the world (2% of its population), Orientia is the leading country in hunter management, and hunter education in the world.

Etymology

The name for the Orientia in Korean is written 동연방국 (pronounced Dongyeon Bangguk, meaning "Federal Republic of The East"), but often shorten as Dongguk or Tongguk. The characters 동국 mean "eastern country" or "country in the eastern edge". Dongguk (동국) is typically used to refer to the country adjectivally. Before 동국 was adopted in 2043, the pre-Orientia countries were known as China (exonym from Qin, fomerly a dynasty in China. The name of the country in Chinese, 中国, literally means "central empire"), Korea (from Goryeo, 고려, meaning "walled city" [1]), and Russia (Россия, meaning "country of Rus").  

Orientia, the name of the country in English is the combination of orient meaning "east" and suffix -ia meaning land, which is the literal transliteration of the Korean name for the country. The word orient derived from Middle Anglican orient, oriente, oryent, oryente, oryentte (“the east direction; eastern horizon or sky; eastern regions of the world, Orient; eastern edge of the world”), borrowed from Old French orient (“east direction; Asia, Orient”), or directly from its etymon Latin oriēns (“the east; daybreak, dawn; sunrise; (participle) rising; appearing; originating”).

In English, a citizen of Orientia is called an "Oriental". The word "Oriental" also refer to the country adjectivally ("Oriental values", "Oriental forces").

History

Pre-Independence

Independent countries before Orientia collapsed in 2038 after the World War 3. Otherworld invasion ravaged multiple countries, which, resulted in retaliation by human forces using nuclear weapons. Asia also suffered from the global conflict. The territory of China was the location where otherworld portals appeared the most; millions of Chinese citizens escaped the country, as the military was forced to use their nuclear arsenal on their own country--which flattened the land instead of giving damages to the otherworlders. The far eastern part of Russia was used as a safe haven for chinese people. Russia, albeit having their government and military weakened due to the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, managed to survive due to the appearances of superhumans known as Hunters, fend off the otherworlders and closed otherworlder's portals. The Korean peninsula, Japanese islands, Southeast Asia and South Asia were fairly safe, as Korean, Japanese, Indian, and Indonesian hunters joined hand to fend off the otherworlders back to China. Western Asia was the only safe haven, as Saudi Arabia had the most hunters at the time, even went as far as building mana-imbued fences surrounding the area. Oceania was the only continent safe from otherworlders, due to lack of portals and their geographical distance from Asia, Africa and the Americas.

European countries, mostly due to the UK and Russia, also managed to keep their continent clean from otherworlders. North America, however, suffered the same fate as China, leaving the continent balkanized into Confederate States of America, California Republic, New England, Quebec, and Columbia. Most of its mid-west territories were either controlled by otherworlders (centered in Ohio) or extremely radioactive to live in. South America and Africa managed to survive, albeit with heavy casualties and irreparable damages.

The Russian government, along with South Korea, United Kingdom, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Australia, established the Earth League as the successor of the collapsed United Nations. The league had decided to make a partition plan for the war-torn Europe and Asia. The partition plan underwent several changes until the final change was approved under the Treaty of Taipei in 2043. United Kingdom were given partitioned areas of Western Europe, Central Europe and Southern Europe, while Russia was given control over Eastern Europe. All these changes brought in the return of historical nations, for example, Livonia, Kalmaria (in the form of a republic), and Yugoslavia. In Asia, South Korea and Japan joined hand to establish Orientia, taking Chinese territories in a seemingly impossible political alliance. While Indonesia and Malaysia controlled over Southeast Asia, resulting in the creation of Nusantara. Ramad I is the current ruling monarch of Nusantara. Western Asia and South Asia was the only area on earth unaffected by partition plans.

  1. The word Korea is the English exonym for Goryeo. It was a native Korean word, probably pronounced something like "Guri", transcribed with various Chinese characters: 高句麗, 高勾麗, or 高駒麗 (고구려, Goguryeo), 高麗 (고려, Goryeo), 高離 (고리, Gori), or 句麗 (구려, Guryeo). The source native name is thought to be either *Guru ("walled city, castle, fortress"; attested in Chinese historical documents, but not in native Korean sources) or *Gauri ("center, middle"; cf. Middle Korean *gaβɔndɔy and Standard Modern Korean gaunde 가운데).
