Middle Tarestia

Middle Tarestia (Tarestian: Washentarestië), officially the Democratic Republic of Middle Tarestia (Tarestian: Themokratishing Repaħlicko Washentarestië), is a sovereign state in southern Andoladia, around the Tarestian Peninsula. It is bordered to the north by Tarestia-Wesburg and New Hathingsberg, and and to the east by East Tarestia. Middle Tarestia is a very mountainous country, forming much of the Tarestian Peninsula. Middle Tarestia has a population of 22,462,742, making it the 36th-largest country by population worldwide, and the seventh-largest out of the Andoladian nations. Meckerby is the country's capital, while Camdacton is the largest city. Other major cities include Paranal, Camaco, and Framasca. 
Middle Tarestia was formed with the loss of the Tarestian Kingdom after the Resource War. The country soon became a Socialist Division of the Union (SDU) under the Tarestian People's Union. Under the rule of the TPU, Middle Tarestia saw the formation of a local identity distinct from the other Core Tarestias. To rise itself out of the ashes, Middle Tarestia began mining coal and other ores in a project lasting to the TPU's dissolution in 1989. Once the TPU dissolved, Middle Tarestia's economy began to tank, solved using a loan from the Global Monetary Fund which it is still yet to pay off. Influence from next door East Tarestia began to affect the country's politics in the 21st century, which became quite valuable to Middle Tarestia following sketchy relations with Tarestia-Wesburg between 2006 and 2010. Middle Tarestia restarted it's mining projects in the early 2010s, which now account for 35% of Middle Tarestia's economy. 
Middle Tarestia is a developed country. It is a member of the GUIS and the Central Continents Union.
