Catam Pon, officially the Republic of Catam Pon (ipa: /t͡satam pɔn/), is a small nation on the southern end of the Tagrae continent, bordering both the Marlos and Sareen Oceans. The nation controls a series of islands and coastal enclaves in its vicinity, giving it control over the strategic straits nearby. It is known for having one of the highest population densities in all of Telrova, as well as being relatively technologically advanced. The country has utilized both its relative neutrality and strategic position to allow for vast, semi-centralized economic prosperity and development, being a bustling trade hub, and a tax haven for others. Many ethnic groups, religions, and languages make up the region, mostly due to its past colonization, geography, and trade. Because of this, multi-racialism has been enshrined in the nation's legal code, with most government documents and decrees having to be issued in most of the country's major languages, though Catamese serves as a lingua franca.
It's long history as a maritime emporium, naval base, and thalassocracy continue to influence to the modern era. With this, the country has always retained close ties to its former colonial owners, the Aquatilean Empire. This partnership, among others, has helped the nation to develop and prosper, and to become both an economic and technological hub in Telrova. It is also notorious for its "dominant party" state structure, where it is nominally a democracy, but the largest party, the Catam Forum (now called the People's Party) took over in the late 1940s due to rampant corruption, cries for succession, and communist insurrections taking place. They have since "mellowed," but have democratically ruled the country for all but 4 years since they took over in 1949 with the help of the Armed Forces of Catam Pon. Their policies, though sometimes being stronghanded and authoritarian, are often credited with keeping the country together and allowing for it to develop as it has.
