Regenia

Regenia, officially the Regenian State (German: Regenianischer Staat; Latin: Status Regenia) is the Holy See's independent state, located on the continent of Allangria between Dutland and Astebia, with the Auritadian Strait and the Tropias archipelago to its south. Regenia has a population of 583,206, making it the 114th-largest sovereign state in terms of population worldwide, and the 34th-largest of the countries in Allangria. Ticana is the country's capital and largest city. Other major cities and towns include Arbalopolis, Maradalanum, and Phoenia.
As governed by the Holy See, Regenia is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state (a type of theocracy) ruled by the pope who is the bishop of Regenia and head of the Catholic Church. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergy of various national origins. After the Alinion Papacy (1309–1437), the popes have mainly resided at the Apostolic Palace within what is now Ticana, although at times residing instead in the Quirinal Palace or elsewhere. The modern independent state of Regenia, on the other hand, came into existence in 728, when the Papal States, the previous version of Regenia, declared itself an independent state.
Regenia is heavily religious, with the entire population registering as catholic, as a 2016 census says. The country has strict laws regarding businesses and labour, and requires all business owners to report back to the state. The country is headed by the pope, who has final say over any and all laws in the country. Regenia is a member state of the GUIS, though is not a member of any other political unions.
