Bideria

Bideria (Biderian: Bydery), officially the Federated States of Bideria (Biderian: Vredzidzani Bydery), is a sovereign state located on the continent of Andoladia. The country is an island nation off the coast of the continent, which is centered around the eponymous volcano, Mt. Bideria. Bideria shares maritime borders with Gallitonia, Istola, and Talry. The country has a population of 2,850,752, making it the 108th-largest country by population worldwide, and the 37th-largest of the countries on the Andoladian continent. Rumbeck is the country's capital and largest city. Other major cities and towns include Kesserly, Pasbarine, Taranne.
Bideria was settled around 2,500 thousand years ago by the Biderian peoples. In the country's early years, contact was quickly made with other communities on the main continent. Bideria was devastated in 1825 after Mt. Bideria erupted, killing hundreds and destroying much of the country's infrastructure. Bideria soon turned to it's surrounding countries for assistance, including Frensillane and Gallitonia. While Bideria did participate in the Resource War against Rockland, Bideria, unlike most countries in Andoladia, saw no fighting on it's territory due to it's existence as an island. In 1930, Bideria saw a small immigration spark after the HRS Crumbeck crashed on the island, stranding several Jonathians on the island. A mispronounciation of the ship's name gave to the English translation of the name of Bideria's capital, Rumbeck. Bideria participated in the Great War on the Allied side, but once again saw no fighting on it's territory. Bideria then remained neutral during the Cold War, hoping to make back lost economy. The country's picturesque views and warm temperatures in the summer soon gave way to a tourism industry that continues to this day. Boosted by the construction of Bideria's first airport, Rumbeck Chris Johnson Airport (IATA: RCJ), Bideria began to see it's economy rise once more, shedding light into hope for the future.
Bideria is a developing country. It is a member of both the GUIS and the Central Continents Union.
