Tarestia-Wesburg

Tarestia-Wesburg (Tarestian: Tarestië-Vesborgo), officially the Socialist Republic of Tarestia-Wesburg (Tarestian: Sozialishing Tarestië-Vesborgo), is a sovereign state on the continent of Andoladia, around the Tarestian Peninsula. It is bordered to the north by Gemery and Abdaristan, to the west by Rockland, to the south and south-east by Middle Tarestia, and to the northeast by New Hathingsberg. Tarestia-Wesburg sits on the edge of mountains and grassland, beginning the Tarestian Peninsula at it's north. Tarestia-Wesburg has a population of 27,192,887, making it the 28th-largest country by population worldwide, and the fourth-largest out of the Andoladian nations. Poptodia is the country's capital and largest city.
Tarestia-Wesburg's history began as the center of the Tarestian Kingdom. The rough area where Tarestia-Wesburg is now was the center of the Tarestian political sphere, and was the home of many notable events in Tarestian history. Poptodia was constructed in 1688 to house the country's monarchy, as well as a clique of wealthy political insiders. As such, many parts of the country had higher living standards than others, though those with high standards had a very low population. The actual concept of Tarestia-Wesburg was created with the Resource War. The area received the name after the Battle of Cablival, and the subsequent treaty after the battle, which was signed in the town of Wesburg, a Rocklese port town located near the border of the country. The state altogether was renamed the Tarestian Republic, and knit together with many other countries.
Due to the situation across the Republic, the government in Poptodia found it increasingly hard to govern, and before long crime syndicates began dominating national politics. A group of communist governors, disgruntled by the government's inactivity, overthrew the government, starting the Tarestian People's Union. Tarestia-Wesburg subsequently became a Socialist Division of the Union (SDU) within the TPU. Tarestia-Wesburg was then largely at peace from then on, free from the unrest that plagued the other regions. A death knell to a united Tarestian region came when Middle Tarestia and East Tarestia were created to manage national politics easier. In 1988, unrest in Abdaristan led to the West Andoladian Revolutions, the dissolution of the Tarestian People's Union, and the independence of Tarestia-Wesburg, now considered a rump state of the former TPU.
Tarestia-Wesburg had it rough at the start. Still run as a communist one-party state under the Tarestian People's Party, the country refused interaction with other countries to protect it's interests. However, the country was forced to break their neutrality and isolation in 2004 after a M7.3 earthquake rattled the Tarestian Peninsula, causing extensive damage and an economic crisis. Tarestia-Wesburg received an outpour of international assistance after the earthquake, allowing the country to explore more opportunities. The first free and fair elections in the country, which occurred in 2006, saw the dethroning of the TPP after seventy-nine years. Today, Tarestia-Wesburg is in the process of rebuilding itself, and is opening the doors further to international businesses. In 2019, Tarestia-Wesburg was admitted into the Central Continents Union.
Tarestia-Wesburg is a developing country. It is a member of the GUIS, the Central Continents Union, and the Committee of Socialist Nations.
