Dutland

Dutland (German: Pflichtenland), officially the Kingdom of Dutland (German: Pflichtescher Königreich), is a constitutional monarchist state in Allangria. Dutland is bordered to the north by Commolacia, to the west by Detribenia, and to the east by Auritadia, while southward Dutland surrounds both Regenia and Astebia, all three of which lie along a coastline overlooking the Tropias region. Dutland has a population of 71,824,965, making it the sixth-largest country by population worldwide, and the largest in Allangria. The capital and largest city of Dutland is Reitendorf. Other major cities and towns include Habtfurt, Dolburg, and Lindehen.
Dutland has been continuously inhabited by humans since around 250 thousand years ago. The geographical location of the country has been a vital through point to Auritadia, and many states and tribes have attempted to control the area. In the year 1687, Miller made it's first landings in the area. The new settlers spread quickly due to having more modern technology, leading to displacement of millions of tribes. In 1918, Dutland declared independence from Miller, after the settlers fell out with the Millerian monarchy. The country created it's own monarchy, headed by George I. Dutland participated on the Allied side of the Great War, but ultimately saw no fighting on it's territory. During the Cold War, Dutland remained aligned with Poland and Jonathia. In modern times, Dutland remains an economic powerhouse, though it's ongoing land disputes with the tribal communities have led to concern.
Today, Dutland is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. With over 71 million inhabitants in its 16 constituent states, it is the fourth-most populous country in the world, as well as the most populous state on Allangria. Its capital and largest city is Reitendorf, and its financial centre is Habtfurt; the largest urban area is the Rijn. Dutland is a member of the GUIS and the Union of Allangrian States.
