The country has an estimated population of 13,453,649 million people and a total land area of X, making it the Y most populated and Z largest country in the world. The country is comprised entirely by the island of La Soledad and adjacent minor islands. Its capital and largest city is Federica, named after the nation's founding father Federico Francisco de la Rivera.
The Republic of San Valdivielso is a unitary parliamentary republic, currently under a military junta since the January 27th 1989 military coup that halted the Valdivielsan democratic process indefinitely. The country is divided into 14 provinces with very limited autonomy.
The country traces its origins to the Spanish colonization of La Soledad island through the 15th century. The colony remained sparsely populated until the 16th century when important cash crops were introduced and a large number of both african slaves and Spanish laborers were moved into the island. A strong independence movement developed and resulted in a short but bloody independence war after the 1804 declaration of independence. San Valdivielso emerged from the war as an unstable but independent young republic under the rule of the dictatorial caudillo Benedicto Castro, who ruled the island for 20 years until his downfall and death during the Valdivielsan Civil War.
By the end of the 19th century the situation in the island had stabilized and the victory of the Azules movement in the civil war led to a democratic reform of the country's dying democracy. With the turn of the century the country saw itself in a position of steady economic growth as foreign investments flourished and immigrants from Italy and Spain saw the young republic as a perfect new home for their families and themselves. The country experienced a number of coups by the armed forces in the 1930s, 1960s and finally the late 1980s which led to the current military government in San Valdivielso and the indefinite cessation of democracy in the island.
