Sortoliya

Sortoliya is a country in the world of Borososyliya. It borders Jakar, Morostei, and Suriya to the North, and it borders either Massebar or Massenania to the South. Everywhere in Sortoliya is governed by a dictatorship, but the breakaway state of Massebar aims to remove the totalitarian system from its government. Despite this, it is known to be beautiful and is labeled one of the more underrated countries in this world.
== History ==
Every time Sortoliya was a dictatorship, which was twice in total, they've had a large conflict with Massenania. In the 1930s, they claimed Massebar and tried to invade it, which was Massenanian land at the time. Due to this, Massenania and Sortoliya went to war. Later on, the war ended in 1942, with a Massenanian victory. Sortoliya eventually became a democratic country, that is, until 1994, when Bonum Ilrad was found to have rigged the Sortoliyan elections, and became the dictator of Sortoliya. This refueled the conflict with Massenania and lead to some of their most infamous incidents, such as the incidents of December 15th, 2020, a series of terrorist attacks across Massenania, Massebar, and Sortoliya in which over 300 people died. Despite Sortoliya's reputation, they were largely seen as the better side in these attacks. On January 1st, 2021, both leaders agreed to try to make peace for at least half a year and try not to harm each other.
On March 17th, 1995, Sortoliya's national anthem was made. However, the lyric "De mon e Massebar (The main and Massebar)" proved controversial with multiple audiences, and the Union of Borososyliya complained about it. The lyrics were finally revised on January 5th, 1997, to "We habe sute de bar (We have set the bar)."
On January 25th, 2013, Mana was heading in a van to perform in Driole, Suriya, after a successful show in Ilrad Citum. At a highway bridge in Xaxakfa, Sortoliya, where they were stopping, a large truck struck the car, and everyone, including the truck driver and the band, died. Witnesses say that the band's van tried to drive out of the way as the truck was speeding, but it kept on facing them. The truck went over the bridge, dangling over the road below. Because of insufficient evidence, nobody can really tell if it was a true accident, or a purposeful act. There are a couple of theories surrounding the tragic crash. Some say Bonum Ilrad used "magic" to get them to die. Others say the truck that killed them was sent by the leader. He denied both claims, saying, in English, "Have I thought about killing Mana? Yes. Why wouldn't I? They made a song about me that was called 'revolutionary,' but I have never tried to kill them. I am not a wizard, I know no spells, and I never sent anyone out for them to meet their doom."

== Disputes ==
Sortoliya has two disputes. One is an exclave inside Massenania, that on May 15, 1995, was seized by the Sortoliyan army. Many fail to recognize it not just because of the Massenanian ethnics, but also because the capital of a state is inside.
It also has a breakaway country called Massebar, which many recognize as either independent or part of Sortoliya. Only one country, Jakar, recognizes it as Massenania.
== Ethnic Groups ==
It is mostly ethnically Sortoliyan, with some Cassamarovians and a lot of Massenanians in the disputed country of Massebar. There are also a few Amar, Morosteians, and Suriyans in the North. There is also a No Man's Land, where due to tribal beliefs of mischievous creatures and mysterious disappearances, nobody is allowed to live there, and nobody chooses to visit.

=====History=====
======Before the Band======
The lead singer, José Rumania, was born in Cassa, Cassamarovia on July 18, 1981. He moved to Ilrad Citum, Sortoliya in 1985. He moved out in 1997 after a bombing incident he witnessed, and moved to Ruverese, where he met Jock Timon, and Cole Natashi, who also happened to be Cassamarovian.
======Early Era ======
They debuted in 2001 as part of the Parazet Song Contest. They made it into the finals for Sortoliya. They won the contest for Sortoliya, significantly boosting their career. On October 11th, 2001, they debuted with their self-titled album "Mana." In 2002, they released "Work Hard," and 2004 saw "Blend Together," but their ultimate breakthrough was "Ben Pucie (Ben Pompous)" in 2007, under the album "Remembrance," boosting them to #1 of Sortoliya, Jakar, Massebar, Morostei, Romo, Massenania, and Suriya that year. It was found that "Ben Pucie" was a fake name for Sortoliyan leader Bonum Ilrad. The line "Nie haben Ben Pucie (No having Ben Pompous)" was the area he was used in, referring to Ilrad's strict tactics, and conflicts with Massenanians. He was furious when he found out. Mana have any later hits, but they made two albums in 2009 (Reform/Regain) and 2012 (Why?).
======Fatal Car Crash======
On January 25th, 2013, Mana was heading in a van to perform in Driole, Suriya, after a successful show in Ilrad Citum. At a highway bridge in Xaxakfa, Sortoliya, where they were stopping, a large truck struck the car, and everyone, including the truck driver and the band, died. Witnesses say that the band's van tried to drive out of the way as the truck was speeding, but it kept on facing them. The truck went over the bridge, dangling over the road below. Because of insufficient evidence, nobody can really tell if it was a true accident, or a purposeful act. There are a couple of theories surrounding the tragic crash.
After Mana's death, a compilation album titled "In Memory: The Scrapped Songs of Mana" was released in 2014.
