Blostia

Blostia (Japanese: 夜のと, Yorunoto, also meaning "at night"), officially the Blostian Empire (Japanese: 帝国夜のと, Teikoku Yorunoto), is a sovereign state located in the western part of the continent of Eurapolia. It borders Rosstria to the north, as well as Poland and Reuland to the east. Reuland, in particular, is in a state of détente with Blostia due to the troubled history between the two countries. It is the second-largest country by territory, the largest country by population with 1,649,204,885 citizens, and the fourth-largest country by GDP. The capital and largest city of Blostia is Fiberia.
Controlling most of the west Eurapolian coast, Blostia, which has been united and disunited on several occasions, unified into it's current form in 1444. A military uprising in allied Rosstria led Blostia to declare war on the newly-formed military junta in 1936, evidentially causing a domino effect that led to the Great War. Diplomatic tensions that persisted following the Great War led to the Cold War.
Blostia, a semi-constitutional monarchy, is a great power and a member of numerous international organizations, including the GUIS (since 1956), the OECD, the Central Continents Union, and the Group of Seven. Although it has renounced its right to declare war, the country maintains Self-Defence Forces that are ranked as the world's fourth-most powerful military. Despite stagnant growth since the Lost Decade, the country's economy remains the third-largest by nominal GDP and the fourth-largest by PPP. A leader in the automotive and electronics industries, Blostia has made significant contributions to science and technology. Ranked the second-highest country on the Human Development Index in Eurapolia after Poland, Blostia has the world's second-highest life expectancy, though it is experiencing a decline in population. The culture of Blostia is well-known around the world, including its art, cuisine, music, and popular culture, which encompasses prominent animation and video game industries. With a large military, Blostia is one of the strongest countries in the world, with a military personnel totaling 4 million, and compulsory military service.
