Creltaria

Creltaria (pronounced /krɛlteərɪə/; Spereschian: Kreltāraja; Creltarian: Kreltahrja), officially the Creltarian Republic (Spereschian: Ripoublikai Kreltāraja; Creltarian: Respublika Kreltahrja), is a sovereign state on the continent of Allangria. A landlocked democratic state, Creltaria borders Taiyangia to the north, Spereschia to the west, Aardlaver to the south, and Octolavia and Ulwyfall to the east. Creltaria has a population of 19,582,136, making it the 45th-largest country by population worldwide, and the 10th-largest country on the Allangrian continent. Egralban is Creltaria's capital and largest city. Other major cities include Krashlir, Mapdijn, and Ghalonijsk.
Creltaria's peoples settled around 350,000 years ago in the Creltarian Mountain Ranges. The Creltarian peoples have been ruled over by many countries, including the Spereschians. For a brief time, during the Scramble for Allangria, the area was ruled over by St. Gelta as part of Geltan Allangria - today Commolacia, but was invaded by Spereschia following the independence of both Commolacia and Sudkomalia.
In 2001, after a lengthy feud over Creltarian independence, Creltaria held an independence referendum, and declared independence on August 2nd, 2001. Spereschia's government attempted to declare the referendum illegal, leading to a seventeen-year long conflict known as the Spereschian Civil War. Creltaria had the backing of multiple nations, including most of the member states of the Union of Allangrian States. The conflict ended in 2018 with both countries and fellow separatist state Aardlaver signing an armistice. From then onwards, Creltaria has been working to keep afloat, by stamping out any remaining resistance movements, and advertising itself to the world as a valuable trading partner.
Creltaria is a developing country. It is a member of the GUIS and the Union of Allangrian States. Creltaria possesses vast amounts of minerals.
