Yuktavia

Yuktavia (Ukrainian: Юктавія, Yuktaviya), officially the Republic of Yuktavia (Ukrainian: Республіка Юктавія, Respublika Yuktaviya), is a sovereign state on the Isle of Mebellia, a part of the continent of Allangria. The country borders Pradesca and Labsteria to the west, and Harrow Point to the east. Yuktavia has a population of 16,134,962, making it the 56th-largest country by population worldwide, and the 17th-largest of the countries on the Allangrian continent. Khorviya is the country's capital and largest city. Other major cities and towns include Verkhsal, Morskaperl, and Kodaksburg.
Yuktavia has been occupied by various countries and empires throughout it's history. The modern state of Yuktavia, however, stems from the Canadish-Auritadian colonisation of the Mebellian Isle in the early 18th century. In 1941, amidst the Great War and the rise of Pradescan nationalism, the Yuktavian People's Party organised peaceful strikes in favour of the formation of a Yuktavian state. When the Canadish forces reacted with brutual force, Yuktavia joined forces with Pradesca and Labsteria to take control of their territory.
After the Great War, Yuktavia gained full and universally recognised independence and declared themselves neutral in politics outside of the Mebellian Isle. In 1959, Yuktavia formed a military partnership with the other nations on the Mebellian Isle. Yuktavia remained neutral during the Cold War, but leaned towards trading with the Polish-Jonathian bloc. In 1983, a series of demonstrations turned violent, leading to the Yuktavian Civil War, which ended in the impeachment of then-president Yakiv Bondarenko. Yuktavia was not affected much by the 2008 financial crisis. Since the 2010s, Yuktavia has continued to seek closer economic, political, and military ties with the Western world, and has made efforts to join the Commonwealth of Nations.
Yuktavia is a unitary republic under a semi-presidential system and is considered to be a developing country. It is a member of the GUIS, the Union of Allangrian States, the Mebellian Alliance, and the Pan-Slavic Union.
