Reuland

Reuland (pronounced /ˈruːlænd/; Japanese: 陸のるべぬ, [ɾikɯ nor rɯbenɯ]; Reulese: Wychi-Reuz; Polish: Rukow, [rukau]), officially the Free State of Reuland (Japanese: 陸のるべぬ, [ɾikɯ nor rɯbenɯ]; Reulese: Vrijstaat zo Wychi-Reuz; Polish: Wolne Państwo Rukow, [vɔlnɛ panstwɔ rukau]), is a sovereign state located in Eurapolia. A buffer state formed following the Great War, Reuland borders Blostia to the west, and Poland to the east, with Lake Ałzyz northbound, and the Bay of Reuland southbound. Reuland is a constitutional monarchy with an emperor as a head of state, and an elected prime minister as a head of government. Reuland has a population of 27,192,887, making it the 27th-largest country by population worldwide, and the fourth-largest on the continent. Wolnsai is the country's capital and largest city.
Reuland has been populated for over 2,000 years. It's culture is filled with a mix of Blostian and Polish aspects. The locality and numbers of it's peoples influenced several aspects of Reulese life, including the creation of a common language. Tapanthian mercenaries that came to Reuland in the 16th and 17th centuries converted a large swath of the Reulese peoples to Christianity, which explains the large religious divide between Reuland and it's surrounding countries. Reuland began vying for independence from Blostia when in 1936, as the Great War began, the Blostian government began abusing the rights and land where the Reulese peoples lived. Enraged, the Reulese peoples formed their own country in 1940, and when Poland came to back them up three years later, managed to form a large stronghold nation. Reuland officially declared it's independence in 1947.
Reuland, a constitutional monarchy, is a developed country and is ranked the eighth-highest country globally and second among Eurapolian nations on the Human Development Index. Its citizens enjoy one of the world's fastest Internet connection speeds and the densest high-speed railway network. Since the 21st century, Reuland has been renowned for its globally influential pop culture, particularly in music (Reupop), TV dramas and cinema, a phenomenon referred to as the Rise of Reuland. It is a member of the OECD's Development Assistance Committee, the Eurapolian Council, and the GUIS. It has refused to join the Central Continents Union.
