Octolavia

Octolavia (Octolavian: , Okotorafia), officially the Federal Republic of Octolavia (Octolavian: Vongorepoberika Okotorafia), is a sovereign state located in central Allangria. It borders Creltaria to the west and north, Ulwyfall to the north, Floresca to the south, Vloria to the east and both Spereschia and Aardlaver to the west. Octolavia has a population of 22,616,556, making it the 36th-largest country by population worldwide, and the eighth-largest country when counting Allangrian countries only. The capital and largest city of Octolavia is Aktida. Other major cities and towns include Oknoda, Famanotu, and Jarakmia.
Octolavia's history goes back to around roughly 280 thousand years ago, when early human settlers migrated into the area. It's wild geography and sometimes unpredictable climate has always affected the country's history. Ulwian tribes from the north later conquered the area around the turn of the 2nd century CE. During this rule, slave trade played a big role and was demanded from these kingdoms as the regular remittance of tribute. The modern Octolavian state dates back to Jetzeburg's colonisation of the area. Part of the region was divested to Miller while Octolavia became a Jetzeburgian subject state. Octolavia remained part of Jetzeburg during and after the Ulwian Revolution. Octolavia would finally be granted independence on April 14th, 1920, making it one of the final countries to be released from colonial control. Octolavia remained neutral throughout the Great War due to economic turmoil. During the Cold War, Octolavia supported the Blostian cause. In 1990, Ulwyfall and Floresca invaded Octolavia, with Floresca alleging mistreatment of Chyatak minorities in the country. Octolavia won the war following the Ulwian withdrawal with assistance from the Pan-Slavic Union's member states. In recent years, Octolavia has been focused on post-War rebuilding.
Octolavia is a developing country. It is a member of the GUIS and the Union of Allangrian States.
