Fortizendria (sometimes Fortizane or The Fortlands; Zdrole: Fâohtizén(zdrieo), pronounced: [fɒ̂ːx.t̪i.zéːn.(d̠ɹ̠ɪ.jɤ)]), officially The Republic of Fortizendria, is an impoverished landlocked nation on the continent of Occeia, ruled by a decentralized collection of states that are collectively ruled by a one-party socialist government known as the Fautestra and headed by the Fautach. It is among the poorest and least technologically advanced nations on Krystar, relying on foreign aid and piracy for much of its economic activity, although it does boast a cheap and adequate medical facility and a niche cultural tourism industry.

Etymology

Fortizane is the English equivalent to Fâohtizén, which is believed to have come from an old Fvonil word meaning "high passage", although there are conflicting theories and none of them are definitive. Fortizendria comes from the Zdrole locative case of Fauhtizen (i.e. when people would say "at Fartizane"), which is Fâohtizén + stro. -stro becomes -zdreo for "specific"-gender, which then becomes -zdrieo after front vowels, which then becomes -drieo after /n/ - hence, Fâohtizénzdrieo, which is often mistaken as the place's full name, "Fortizendria".


A similar process happened with Krystar, in which the Fortizendrians (Fortizendia + na, meaning "from at Fortizen", which gave the capital and denonym their names) had loaned for a concept of the whole planet, except it was interpreted as Krai + -stra, meaning the planet's name in Zdrole is actually Krai - or, reverted to English, "Cry".
