Bethausia (Burmese: ဘဒဥသ, Badausa), officially known as the Royal Union of Bethausia and the Kingdom of the Union of Bethausia, is a nation in Southeast Asianna. It borders Quenmin to the east, Kyachindwin to the west, Lhossa to the northwest, and Lorica to the north. It also shares a maritime border The country is ethnically diverse and boasts a population of approximately 74 million, designating it as the second largest country in Southeast Asianna. The country's capital city is Kengkaw and its largest city is Sayangon.

Early civilizations in Bethausia's territory included the Myong city-states, the Twanlaw Kingdom and the Chin Kingdoms in Upper Bethausia, and the Mot kingdoms and the Rathelangyet Empire in Lower Bethausia. In the 7th century CE, the Barmas settled into the upper Rathelanghpu valley, and their culture and language gradually became dominant alongside Buddhism following the establishment of the Aung Ba Kingdom in the 770s. The Kingdom splintered into rival smaller kingdoms and were subjugated by the Kiếm Hoà Dynasty via Kiều Thạc Nhu's conquest of Bethausia. The rulers of the Ganshwe Empire slowly liberated itself and managed to establish the realm as a regional power. Subsequently, after a period of its fragmentation into small kingdoms, the Myaungmain Empire united the entirety of Bethausia, and became the second-largest empire in the region, even controlling territories as far as South Tibetia and East Afghania. During the late 18th to mid-19th century, the Empire under the Konbaung dynasty modernized the nation in an effort to prevent Europan colonization, and managed to defeat the Lucis East Indiae Company from obtaining its eastern holdings. Under the dynasty's rule, the country was named "Badausa", which was Anglicized to "Bethausia". Their independence would be threatened however with incursions by the Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance during the First and Second Wars, which resulted in territories composing the modern day Ganpadan-Pudasmina and Sittwe states being annexed by the latter. The Empire was subjugated in 1906 at the conclusion of the Tarhaaja War, and became a colony of East Europa. It was officially annexed by the Empire of Quenmin by the end of the First Europan War, but was soon partitioned with East Europa in 1931. Meanwhile, the Bethausian government-in-exile established itself in Caernarvon in opposition to joint Imperial rule, and contributed to the liberation of its homeland during the Second Europan War.

Bethausia became an independent kingdom from its establishment of the First Union in 1946 after a one-year period of Bethausian independence transition. The nation functioned as a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, and its economy was strong until the War of Lorican Aggression when it was marred by Lorican invasion and a communist insurgency. In 1968, Henry Louis declared the Second Union after changing its constitution with the support of the military. Until 1995, Bethausia was a unitary state with a monarchy ruling beside a military junta, which is termed the Royal Junta. The Scarlet Revolution dissolved the military government, and under William Edwardius II's reign and Aeindra Inzali Sein Myat's tenure as Prime Minister, the country transitioned back to a parliamentary democracy, despite the military retaining a degree of political power. From 2016 to 2020, during the FUA Crisis, the country suffered a devastating civil war that observed a military-controlled state in Upper Bethausia and the kingdom in Lower Bethausia, but was dissolved upon the latter's victory. The country was unified once more under the Bethausian Fourth Union ruled by William Edwardius III, and its current government maintains a parliamentary system with the military permanently barred from holding political authority.

Bethausia is a developed country holding the fourth largest economy in Asianna and the third largest in Southeast Asianna according to nominal GDP. The country is also considered a regional power in world affairs. It possesses the fourth largest army in Asianna and the second largest army in Southeast Asianna, and is one of the most formidable in the world. The country also enjoys a abundance in natural resources, a burgeoning energy sector, and fast internet. It also possesses the largest concentrated solar power system in Southeast Asianna. Bethausia is a member of the Association of Asianna Nations and the East Asianna Summit, and it used to be a member of the Federal Union Association until it seceded in 2016
