Glarectus Beta

Glarectus Beta (Greek: Γλαρέκτους Β, Glaréktous Beta), officially the Second Glarectan Empire (Greek: Δεύτερη Αυτοκρατορία Γλαρεκτών, Défteri Aftokratoría Glarektón), is a monarchist sovereign state located in the Tropias region on the continent of Allangria. Glarectus Beta borders Santa Chereza to the west, south, and east. Glarectus Beta also shares maritime borders with Pradesca. Glarectus Beta has a population of 6,330,582, making it the 90th-largest nation by population worldwide, and the 26th-largest of the countries on the Allangrian continent. Athosene is the country's capital and largest city.
Glarectus Beta is the second of the modern Glarectan dynasties and the sixth overall. The country itself was originally settled with the venturing of the Greek peoples to the north of the Isle of Chereza. Factions soon rose within Glarectia. These factions soon clashed, ending with the rise of the First Kingdom of Athosene and the first Glarectan dynasty. After a brief renaissance, Santa Chereza invaded Glarectia, establishing the second dynasty, known as Cherezian Glarectia. Cherezian occupation, whether direct or through puppet states, continued through the third (Second Kingdom of Athosene) and fourth (Kingdom of Popos) dynasties.
The fifth dynasty rose with Canadia's invasion of the isle. While Santa Chereza was entirely occupied, Canadia allowed the Glarectan state to continue as a free state surrounding the Athosene area. This country, Glarectus Alpha, a republic, prospered throughout it's brief existence. In 1812, pro-monarchist rebels caused a civil war which saw the toppling of this government and the restoration of the former monarchy, who had been tracked down. Glarectus Beta began to make advancements throughout the 20th century. Glarectus Beta fought on the Allied side of the Great War, and then supported the Jonathian cause of the Cold War. In 2013, a major eruption of Mt. Athos caused destruction across the country, which led to an international effort led by the Red Cross.
Glarectus Beta is considered to be a developing country. It is a member of the GUIS and the Union of Allangrian States. Glarectus Beta's unique cultural heritage, large tourism industry, prominent shipping sector and geostrategic importance classify it as a middle power.
