West Kalupa

West Kalupa (Kalupan: Kalupi Vist), officially the Greater Kalupan Empire (Kalupan: Avacca Ampalo mu'Kalupi), is a fascist island state located in the Kalupan archipelago, off the coast of the continent of Eurapolia. It shares maritime borders with East Kalupa, which it has been in a state of conflict with since the 1960s. West Kalupa also shares maritime borders with Hebreland. The population of West Kalupa is 8,221,639, making it the 76th-largest country by population worldwide, and the fourth-largest of the countries on the Eurapolian continent. The capital and largest city of West Kalupa is Framboise.
Kalupa was once a colony of Lyvena. After their departure in the late nineteenth century, Kalupa enjoyed a brief period of unity under a restored Kalupan tribal monarchy, before it was invaded by Blostia during the Great War for supporting Jonathia. Following the war, fascist rebels overthrew and executed the monarchy, believing them to be the root of the Kalupan loss. The "Greater Kalupan Empire" was formed in 1949. In 1961, Polish and Jonathian-backed democratic rebels revolted in the eastern islands, starting the nation of East Kalupa and starting the Second Kalupan Revolution. West Kalupa has had strained relations with Jonathia and Poland ever since.
West Kalupa is described as a developing nation with poor infrastructure due to constant wars. The Second Kalupan Revolution has been locked in a stalemate, though naval skirmishes still take place between the two nations. West Kalupa is a member of the GUIS, and refuses to join both the Central Continents Union and the Eurapolian Council due to East Kalupa's membership in the latter two.
