Eaferton

Eaferton, officially the United Commonwealth of Eaferton, is an archipelagic country in Alparia in the Providien Ocean. Eaferton has a population of 13,456,812, making it the 62nd-largest country by population worldwide, and the fifth-largest of the countries in Alparia. The capital of Eaferton is Primmerport, while the largest city is Violetfield.
The seven islands that make up Eaferton have been populated by native peoples since around 40 thousand years ago. Overseas trading with other islands in the area brought various crops to the region. The arrival of Lambdin Primmer, an explorer leading a fleet for Jetzeburg, marked the beginning of Jetzeburgian colonisation. In 1611, the islands were named Eaferton after King Eafer II of Jetzeburg. Clashes with the crown over taxation and political representation sparked the Eafertonian Revolution, with the islands declaring independence on October 4th, 1798. During the Great War, Eaferton sided with the Allied Powers, with Eafertonian infantry providing assistance in the invasion of Blostia. In the later half of the 20th century, Eaferton began to shift to more neoliberal policies, culminating with the Trans-Providien Partnership in 2005.
Eaferton is an emerging market and a newly industrialised country, whose economy is transitioning from being agricultural to service- and manufacturing-centered. It is a member of the GUIS.
