Falderia

Falderia (Romanian: Faldâria), officially the Commonwealth of Falderia (Romanian: Comunitatea Faldâria), is a sovereign state located on the continent of Tapanthia. It is completely surrounded by Brightland to the north and east, Canadia to the south, and Elsovia to the west. The country also has connections to the Fritich Sea through the River Eliate. Falderia has a population of 8,394,040, making it the 77th-largest country by population worldwide, and the 18th-largest of the countries on Tapanthia. It's capital is Chesinau, and it's largest city is Buchenlest. Other major cities and towns include Târlor, Eliara, and Părega.
Falderia has been ruled over by a number of groups over it's history, including the Auritadians, Elsovians, Foradacians, and Brightlese. As such, Falderia would not become independent until the 12th of June, 1380, when Elsovia formed the Commonwealth of Falderia as a puppet state. From that point onward, Falderia remained largely stationary, while it's culture and peoples developed thoroughly. Falderia's independence was threatened with the Elsovian War arising between Elsovia and the Albo-Corbarian Empire, though fears of this were quelled when Brightland intervened in the war, leading to the A.C.E's surrender.
Falderia would go against Elsovia's policy of neutrality and support the Allied Powers during the Great War. During this time, Falderia also renounced any rights Elsovia's monarchy had on Falderia and declared itself a republic. While this did cause economic strain on both countries, it briefly gave Falderia the spotlight on the international stage. Falderia supported Jonathia during the Cold War, and as such became very friendly with the Commonwealth of Nations, though it did not become a member state due to the constant Elsovian threat.
With the 21st century arising, Falderia saw brief success before the global economic crash in 2009 that destroyed a lot of Falderia's economy. Falderia would be forced to turn to it's neighbours for economic assistance, largely during a point where nearly 750,000 Falderians had emigrated to nearby Canadia in search of work.
Falderia is a developing country. It is a member of the GUIS, the Tapanthian Republic, and the Commonwealth of Nations.
