Xenadeca

Xenadeca (pronounced /ksɛnə dɛkə/; Xenadec: Ksenadeka), officially the Duchy of Xenadeca (Xenadec: Tuki-Ksenadeka), is a sovereign state located in northwestern Tapanthia. The country's land and ocean borders are entirely surrounded by Weast. Xenadeca has a population of 31,945,050, making it the 22nd-largest country by population worldwide, and the seventh-largest in Tapanthia altogether. It's capital and largest city is Dasuritu. Other major cities and towns include Karaka, Tovenahu, and Ksaka.
Xenadeca is home to the Xenadec people, the largest culture of the modern Chyatoflorian cultures, which sprung off as a mix of the Chyatak and Yugo-Florian cultures. The Xenadec emigrated into the area around 2,300 years ago. Between 1341 and 1395, Xenadeca was occupied by Weast, with the country having taken over the city states of the area. Xenadeca gained independence as a puppet state of Weast in 1841 in order to protect the city of Dasuritu, which had become a hotspot for Xenadec nationalist dissent. Xenadeca's appointed head of state, Malos the Great, turned on the Weastese, and declared total political independence. This division culminated in a dispute over Kalebagrad, a port city which the border of the two nations ran straight through. Come the 20th century, Xenadeca attempted to make amends with Weast, assisting them when an earthquake in 1901 devastated the two nations. The current constitution of Xenadeca, which is referenced on the country's coat of arms, was passed in 1905. Xenadeca supported the Allied war effort during the Great War, but ultimately saw no fighting on it's soil or in it's waters. Xenadec troops did however serve on the Jonathian and Dorritadian frontlines. Xenadeca, as did Weast, remained non-aligned during the Cold War, though Xenadeca did make economic agreements with Lyvena and Canadia. Today, Xenadeca relies on the export of natural resources as a source of economy.
Xenadeca is a developed country. It is a member of the GUIS and the Tapanthian Republic.
