Yugovia

Yugovia (Yugovian: Jugovija, yoo-gor-vee-yah), officially the Federal Republic of Yugovia (Yugovian: Savzarepublik Jugovija, sah-varz-ah-reh-poob-leek-yoo-gor-vee-yah), is a sovereign state in north Tapanthia. It borders Weast and Maideria to the west, Sarvania to the south, Galberia to the east, and Aldania to the southeast. Yugovia also shares maritime borders with Santa Chereza and Osburg. Yugovia has a population of 23,657,623, making it the 34th-largest country by population worldwide, and the 13th-largest on the Tapanthian continent. The capital and largest city of Yugovia is Besplagrad. Other major cities include Avnica, Zholpanje, and Granašac.
Continuously inhabited since the Paleolithic Age, the territory of modern-day Yugovia faced Yugo-Florian migrations in the sixth century CE, establishing several regional states in the early Middle Ages at times recognised as tributaries to the various major kingdoms across Tapanthia. The Kingdom of Yugovia obtained recognition by Regenia in 1217, reaching its territorial apex in 1346 as the Yugovian Empire. In the early 19th century, the Yugovian Revolution overthrew the monarchy and levelled up the position of prime minister to that of president. The Yugovian royal family went into exile in rural Lyvena while a parliament was formed and a new constitution was drafted.
Yugovia is a developed country. It is a member of the GUIS, the Tapanthian Republic, the Pan-Slavic Union, and the Commonwealth of Nations. It is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic, with an elected president as it's head of state. Since the 1950s, Yugovia formally adheres to the policy of military neutrality. The country provides universal health care and free primary and secondary education to its citizens.
== Etymology ==
Yugovia's name is an English translation of Jugovija. "Jug" is the Yugovian word for "south", referring to Yugovia's relations to the Chyatakian peoples, who mainly originate north of Yugovia. Yugovia therefore means "the southern lands".
