Gemery

Gemery (pronounced /ʤɛməri/; Gemerese: Jemerie), officially the State of Gemery (Gemerese: Astáto mi Jemerí), is a sovereign state located in western Andoladia. It is bordered to the north and northeast by Slevonia, to the southeast by New Hathingsberg, to the south by Tarestia-Wesburg and Abdaristan, and to the west by Rockland. To the east of Gemery is the eponymous Lake Gemery, which Gemery holds a partial claim over. Gemery is a largely hilly country with the Sanawy Forest grazing the southern parts of the country. Gemery has a population of 17,832,445, making it the 48th-largest country by population worldwide, and the 11th-largest of the Andoladian countries. Tetuberia is Gemery's capital, though population-wise, Sant-Kozack is the largest city. Other major cities in Gemery include Ániks, Hadibun, Bilackise, and Vemorié.
Gemerese territory has been home to several cultures and ethnicities over the years, from the Arabs to the Yennese to the Tarestians. Early evidence of the modern Gemerese peoples dates back to around 100 thousand years ago, some centuries after humans first set foot on the Andoladian continent. Gemery first gained independence as a sovereign state in 1785 after gaining independence from the Tarestian Kingdom. Gemery was on the frontline of the Resource War between 1889 and 1891 against Rockland. Gemery was largely helpless due to being right on Rockland's border, and was quickly invaded and subjugated. Reports of pillaging and looting have been said to have happened in Gemerese territory. Following the end of the Resource War, Gemery was forced into a buffer state under the Tarestia name. Gemery later became a Socialist Division of the Union (SDU) under the new government of Tarestia, the Tarestian People's Union.
Gemery regained its independence in 1989 with the dissolution of the T.P.U. Since its independence, Gemery has been governed as a unitary republic under a semi-presidential system. It declared itself a neutral state, forming a limited military partnership with Gallitonia and other Andoladian countries while also establishing a partnership with the Commonwealth of Nations in 1992. A constitutional crisis in 2013 sparked the Granidhaus Debate, which not only caused nationwide protests but also led to Gemery being left without a government until the next election the following year.
Gemery is a developed country. It is a member of the GUIS, the Central Continents Union, and the Commonwealth of Nations.
