Mantocia, officially the Mantocian Republic (Mantocian: la Repubblica Mantociana), is a country located in the Gulf of Atily region of Stratea, covering an area of 139,303 km² (53,785 sq mi) with a population of roughly 13.4 million. Mantocia shares land borders with Lurona and Luxchqiri to the southwest, Aghankir to the west, Mezia to the northwest, Lotia to the north, Tresula to the east (via the Tenific Ocean), and Tarran to the south (via the Gulf of Atily). The western portion of the country marks the beginning of the Roclontane Mountains, the longest and most prominent mountain range in Stratea. The highest point in Mantocia, Mount Passinius, sits at almost 6,800 meters in elevation.

The Gulf of Atily region was historically home to several ancient indigenous groups, owing to its diverse climate of harsh deserts, arid mountains, and coastal savannas. The Mavonan Empire conquered contemporary Mantocia in 103 BCE during the reign of TBD, integrating the territory into the province of Atilia. The Mavonans are credited with founding the city of Rosella, the contemporary capital of Mantocia, in 54 BCE. During the split of the Mavonan Empire after the death of EMPERORTBD in 402, the province of Atilia fell under the rule of Upper Mavona. However, the Emperor of Upper Mavona based in TBDCITY was able to exert little influence over the region after the collapse of Middle Mavona in 483. Atilia, at the southern fringe of Upper Mavona, effectively fell out of Mavonan control by 600 as the Vigars, an ethnic group related to the modern-day Caputians and Ovist Caputians.

The Vigars were notorious raiders, sacking the city of Rosella after they conquered it and then establishing it as their base of operations. Beginning on the 8th century, the Vigars led raids reaching up to modern-day Pätschlàn. In 1094, the Vigar king Mantocio the Swordborn formed the Mantocian Kingdom and converted to Benevianism. After Mantocio's death in 1103, Mantocia was briefly occupied by the Cagarian Dalamate; this occupation lasted until 1157 with the Siege of Bellanera. The renewed Mantocian kigndom held onto territory containing modern-day Mantocia as well as the majority-Caputian region of modern-day Lurona until the 14th century, when the territory was annexed by the Senar Kingdom. During the Holy Mavonan Wars, Mantocia fought with the anti-León nations that opposed centralization efforts in the Holy Mavonan Empire. After losing to Holy Mavonan forces in the Temrian War, Mantocia was reorganized as a protectorate of the HME. After the Eastern Union Succession War, both Mantocia and Lurona fell under the control of the León Dynasty's empire.

In the mid-19th century, however, nationalist movements took root in both Mantocia and Lurona, and the two countries would gain independence from the León Monarchy during the Revolutions of 1857. The early Mantocia briefly controlled the lands of Luxchqiri and Aghankir in the Roclontane Mountains, but this territory was ceded back to the León Monarchy in 1862. After the León Monarchy succession crisis reached its peak in 1912, the government of Mantocia began offering aid to the House of Santa Bárbara, culminating in the annexation of the port town of Padova after the Boston Peace Conference of 1919.
