The Kingdom of Rhodevus, commonly referred to as just Rhodevus (pronounced /lɪndɜːnhɒlt/), is a Non-Hereditary Absolute Representative Monarchy (see: Rubinian Monarchy) located in Northern Dogmana. It is a large-sized country with a population of around 85.2 million people, most of which live in the country's six provinces and two territories in Dogmana. Around 2.5 million Rhodeve live on the Ile du Fleurs off the coast of Ventismar, giving Rhodevus a maritime border with Makenzie and Athabaska. Around 1 million people live on the Iles du Surete in the Divergian Ocean. Rhodevus proper borders Aznazia to the South.

The country's capital is Kingstown and it's largest city is Quiniac City, with the second largest city being Port joy, which hosts the country's largest sea port. The third largest city is Carpellin.

Lindenholt is one of the founding members of the United Sunalayan Assembly. It is also a founding member of the International Anti-Terror Association, Imperial Formations Treaty and the Rhodeve Commonwealth.Its currency is the Rhode.

Rhodevus has a free market economy, and ranks in the top ten GDP per capitas in the world. It is one of the 10 largest economies in Sunalaya, and is ranked 7th in the human development index with a very high standard of living.

Etymology

FIX The area that is modern-day eastern Lindenholt was known in Latin as Tilia Silvestris. This name, coined by the Ilyesians referred to an area in North Western Ventismar that compromised Western Ripuaria and Eastern Lindenholt. This area was inhabited by Celtic tribes that predominantly lived in forests that are recorded in history to be rich in linden trees.

The Latin name for the area was used during the early middle ages exclusively to refer to Germanic language speaking areas west of French speaking Ripuaria. By this time most of the linden forests had been cut down to make way for pastures and farmland. Regardless of the change in landscape, the area still retained its old name.

The name Lindenholt, which was translated from Latin, would not appear in literature until 1341. It is believed that before this record Guldebond traders would introduce themselves as hailing from the "linden forest" (linden holt in Old Dutch).
