The Republic of Nuxica (Floren: República de Nuxic; Lusitan: República do Nuxíca) is a nation located in Asteria Superior. It borders Lorcania, Cassier, and Chervolesia to the north, Duquesne to the east, Marirana and Eldmark to the south, and the Vehemens Ocean via Andradas's Bay to the west. It has a total population of 77,895,231 with it's capital city being Sant Picano. It's largest city is that of Carútagua. The nation is ethnically diverse, being split between Euclean, indigenous, Bahian, and mestizo ancestry.
Like many other nations in the region, Nuxica has been inhabited for thousands of years, with the Yáaxitaan, Nojoch, and later the Meyaletuns achieving dominance over the region. The Meyaletuns, in particular, succeeded in creating a cohesive nation-state that would reign for hundreds of years. Though first discovered by Assim Asteris in 1488, the region was colonized by Floren explorers from Remana in the mid 16th-century, who defeated the Meyaletuns and established the colony of Nuo Remana in 1590. Other Florenic powers would also establish colonies in the region, leading to low-scale conflict over competing boundaries. The region would be unified by decree of Nèstor I, becoming a dominion of the Floren Empire in 1709. The region would remain loyal to Florena during the Pereramonic Wars, being ceded to Gaullica at the conclusion of the conflict. Anti-Gaullican sentiments, authoritarian administration, high taxation, along with a sharp rise in republican ideals, lead the region to seek independence as part of the United Colonies in 1764, joining the larger Asterian War of Secession. The resulting Treaty of Vicalvi granted the region its independence as part of the United Colonies in 1771. However the unity of the United Colonies faltered shortly thereafter, with the northern region separating by the end of the year, creating the first independent Nuxican nation state since the 16th-century.
The region would reunify under the aristocratic and oligarchic Nuxican Confederacy in 1772, buoyed by its vast agricultural exports as well as its continued practice of Bahian slavery. The region also embarked on a series of expeditions to the east in order to expand its borders, culminating in the Expeditionary Wars. Discontent with the established societal order, rising mestizo nationalism, authoritarianism, and unrest amongst the Bahian slave population led to the five-year Nuxican Civil War. The war resulted in the dissolution of the confederacy and the subsequent establishment of a liberal unitary parliamentary republic.
Though initially staunchly economically liberal and corporatist in nature the politics of the republic gradually became more secular and socialist, creating a slow boil of discontent amongst the largely conservative armed forces, large national corporations, and Solarian Catholic masses. This discontent hit a fever pitch upon the election of the social democratic National Worker's Party (PNT) to government. Economic shortfalls coupled by the collapse of their coalition and a looming vote of no confidence caused the PNT government to secretly reach out to the syndicalist National Confederation of Labor for support. Fearing the rise of a radical leftist government, the military -- backed by the Church and corporations -- executed a coup d'etat on Christmas Eve 1927 and installed Gen. Juan Sebastián García as leader. Known as the Nou Ordre, the military junta would guide Nuxica through the Great War -- during which it was invaded by neighboring Marirana, later partially occupying the nation -- as well as the turbulent years following. The junta also used the nation's powerful status in the Asterias in order to suppress left-wing movements throughout the two continents. The junta ceded power to civilian authorities following a popular uprising in 1989.
Nuxica is a unitary semi-presidential multi-party parliamentary republic comprised of seventeen provinces. The economy is largely post-industrial, though there is still significant industrial capacity within the country. It's primary industries are financial services, energy production, agriculture, logging, and mining. Nuxica is a member of the Community of Nations, the JDF, ITO and GIFA.
Etymology
The name for the region is believed by most historians to come from the Úuchmáa phrase "great heaven" or "nuxi' ka'anal". Historical records from the voyages of Assim Asterias highly suggest that the native tribes of the region seemed refer to the region as such, and subsequent records from the journals of both Miguel Andradas and Pròsper Girabal confirm this. The region was, however, known as "Nuo Remana," or New Remana, prior to its independence as part of the United Colonies. The region was renamed "Nuxica," an romanization of the Úuchmáa phrase, following the failure of the United Colonies to form a united government and the name has been in continual use since that time.
