Salerit , officially the United States of Salerit is a country located in south-eastern Thuadia and northern Thrismari, including some islands. Salerit shares borders with Galicianna to the south, Vileria to the west and Gabrielland to the north. The 50 states and the Federal District that make up the country have a total area of xxxxx square km and a population of 97,912,699 according to the last census carried out in January 2023. Salerit is a presidential federal republic whose capital is Reivel, a city where all the country's institutions at the federal level. However, the most important cities economically and culturally are located on the coast; some being New Jesser, Caliry, San Pedro or Liago.

The territory of Salerit was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples, before colonizing peoples arrived from other places in Anteria at the end of the 15th century. Some of them established colonial territories on the central coast of the country, which became independent in the year 1780 from foreign powers in the Salerian Freedom War. In 1785, the Constitution was ratified; the only one that exists in the entire history of the country and that is still in force today with certain reforms. Little by little, new territories were annexed to the nation, until forming the current extension in the year 1876.

At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, Salerit suffered a process of very rapid economic growth thanks to commercial, economic and and applied industrialization. Thus, the country went from being a poorly developed agricultural economy to one of the countries with the highest GDP in the region. All this was accompanied by strong population and export growth, which consolidated the country's economic system. Salerit remained neutral in all the international wars that occurred in the 20th century, thus consolidating its economic and political stability. In the 70s, Salerit suffered a severe crisis due to the creation of a real estate bubble that shook the economy and led to the closure of multiple companies. The country fixed this crisis by applying policies to contain public spending and investment in strategic economic sectors. At the beginning of the 21st century, multiple demonstrations and riots occurred in the country due to the lack of existence of a Welfare State like in other developed countries, and the little existing labor protection. After a few years of protests, successive governments approved measures such as universal healthcare, lowered university fees and approved aid for the most affected sectors of the population. These measures helped reduce inequality, but today the country remains one of the countries with the most wealth inequality in all of Anteria.

Salerit has a developed, high-income economy characterized by a high degree of economic freedom and low government intervention. It has a high GDP thanks to the relatively high population and a medium-high GDP per capita (which does not necessarily represent the average salary in the country due to high inequality). The country's main exports are planes, parts of planes, pharmaceutical products, electronic circuits, refined petroleum and cars.

Etymology

The name of the nation comes from the indigenous languages existing in the territory before colonization. "Sal" was the Aboriginal tribe that inhabited the first conquered territory, and "Erit" means "land of". Thus, as a whole, Salerit means "Land of the Sal"

Languages

The main language spoken throughout the territory is English (although it is not the de facto language throughout the country), which around 99% of the population knows how to speak. In the northwestern states of the country, the use of French stands out (spoken by around 75% of the population) due to the geographical and cultural proximity to Vileria. In the continental area located in Thrismari, Spanish is the majority language; being commonly spoken by around 87% of the population. In the southwest of the country there are some German-speaking minorities, representing around 14% of the total population of those states.
