Sulatia (Sarvalian: Suulati), officially the Republic of Sulatia (Sarvalian: Suulaten Tasavalta) is a sovereign, unitary parliamentary directorial republic located in East Auressia. The nation borders, from clockwise, X, Y, and Z.

The area of Sulatia has been inhabited since roughly 60,000 BP. Bronze working was introduced ca. 3000 BCE with several cultures, most notably the Kaarre culture, arising during this time. The cultural continuity of the Kaarre continued into the 1st millennium BCE with the transition to the Iron Age believed to occur between the 300s and 100s BCE. The Iron Age saw a transition from pastoralism to nomadism, with the culture spectrum of Keranic groups being collectively referred to as Iron Age Nomads. Migration eastwards culminated in the Sulatian conquest of Teno River basin over the course of the 8th century CE, and is largely considered by both archareologists and historiographers to be the end of the Keranic Iron Age.

The settlement of the Teno river basin saw the semi-nomadic tribal alliance of Sarvalians, Jatilians, and Lamalians transition to a pastoral life style and, together with the Vogarians who had settled the region sometime during the 4th century CE, formed the Duchy of Sulatia. The duchy was a loose confederation of the settled Keranic tribes, and various warlords ruled as semi-independent polities. The lands of Sulatia were finally united under Kaarlo I, and, in 1280, was crowned as Grand Duke. The proceeding centuries saw Sulatia expand southwards, incorporating various Isaric and !Slavic polities in what is termed Etalaasettava. By the 17th century, Sulatia reached its territorial height, incorporating parts of Tyrnica, X, and Y. This territory was gradually eroded as a result of the [War] and [Second War] fought against X and Y. Inspired by the Rythenean Revolution of 1790, republican revolutionaries toppled the monarchy, and by 1801, had instituted a republican form of government.

The era of the First Republic of Sulatia was marked by the implementation of authoritarian measures carried out by the Popular Tribunal in efforts to effectively quash royalist sentiment. Additionally, the nation found itself at war with its neighbors in an attempt to spread republicanism. While Sulatia was defeated in these wars, the opposing powers failed to manage a total defeat of the nation, and its republican government managed to survive into the post-war years. In 1874, Erkkilä Toivo was elected as President of the Popular Tribunal and began a policy of normalization with the other Auressian states. The outbreak of the Great War saw Sulatia emerge as one of the victorious powers, however the nation was never fully able to reap the benefits of victory. Economic and social strife caused by the war saw a second revolution occur, with the Second Republic of Sulatia being proclaimed in 1916. The new national convention passed several reforms aimed at wealth equality, workers' self-management, and social ownership of property. Despite its adoption of many socialist ideas and theories, Sulatia does not claim to be a socialist state.

Politically, the nation is officially a unitary directorial republic. The Eduskunta, the nation's legislature, enjoys legislative supremacy as the primary representative of the people, from whom sovereign power is derived. The 7-member Committee of Public Safety acts as the collective head of state and of government and is chosen for 4 year terms by the Eduskunta. While the entire committee is responsible, each member oversees one of several of executive directories. The President of the Committee of Public Safety is the head of the committee, and is elected by the committee itself. Unlike other nations, the President of the Committee is not the head of state nor head of government, with role being for administrative purposes as the president chairs meetings of the committee. Likewise, the position of State Secretary is purely technocratic in its nature, and is also appointed by the Eduskunta. One political party exists, the League of Workers and Farmers, although several internal factions exist within it and are effectively political parties in their own right.

Largely considered to be a middle power, Sulatia boasts considerable soft power as its status as the preeminent left-wing nation. It consistently ranks highly in economic equality, workers' rights, and other socioeconomic issues. The nation is categorized as post-industrial with a very high standard of living. The national economy is unique for embracing Marxist and socialist economic ideas and theories. It is characterized by the complete absence of private ownership of businesses, with syndicalist, workers' self-management, public ownership, and community ownership serving as its replacement.
