Republic of Cornopolia

The **Republic of Cornopolia** or **Cornopolia** is a country in Southern Euronia. It has a population of 50 million with the majority of them living on the mainland island of Cornand, the rest living on small overseas islands. Cornopolia only shares a border with two countries, Chadistan on Cornand and Paosan via the Kurnt Canal Territory. Cornopolia consists of 7 states and 1 federal district. The federal capital, Conia, is the only federal district. Most of Cornopolia's population speaks English, however there are notable minorities of Arabic speakers on the border with Chadistan. Spanish is the second most spoken language, with French and Italian coming in 3rd and 4th place, although those 3 languages are mostly not their speakers first language. The Arabic speaking communities of Cornopolia are unique as the population there exclusively speaks Arabic, English is still taught but it is mostly used when speaking to non-natives.

Cornopolia achieved partial independence from the Koniserad Empire in 1802 after a non-violent revolution and eventually gained full independence after a brief war with the Koniserads in 1825. Cornopolia then fought two wars with their southern neighbors, the Vallaron Empire, in 1833 and 1840. The first war was for the independence of the Kingdom of Guajara and the second war was fought to settle the boundary line between Vallaron and Cornopolia at the Brosbien Mountains. Cornopolia then fought a war alongside Chadistan to protect them from an invasion by the newly independent Kingdom of Tulca in 1845. Shortly after that, Cornopolia invaded Tulca to install a democratic regime, establishing the Republic of Tulca in 1851. Then, Cornopolia fought another war in 1857 alongside Tulca to protect it from invasion by the Targnyacy Corporation starting a war between Cornopolia and Targnyacy that resulted in Cornopolia gaining control of several islands that had previously been under Targnyacy administration, mainly Surus Island. Part of the peace deal was that Targnyacy would concede a strip of land in the Paosan Isthmus to build a canal, which eventually became the Kurnt Canal that began construction in 1860.

Cornopolia's biggest war would come in 1864 when the Republic of Viara declared independence from the Vallaron Empire, prompting both the newly independent Southry Colony and Cornopolia to intervene on Viara's side, starting the Cornopolian-Vallaron War.

## Government

The Cornopolian government is a representative democracy, with the President acting as head of state in the capital Conia. The Consavate is the government's legislative body based on state populations to determine the amount of Consavors each state has. Presidential elections are held every 3 years in October and Consavate elections are held every 2 years in August. The current President, William Hayes, was inaugurated in 1900. Because of the democratically elected position of Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, the Cornopolian military serves as it's own branch of government separate from the President and Consavate.

As of January 1st 1900, the Cornopolian Consavate contains 110 Consavors. Each state is permitted 2 Consavors for every million residents plus 1 extra, meanwhile the federal district of Conia is permitted 20 despite it's population, a number predetermined every 3 years by government. The two largest parties, the Democratic Party and Agrarian Party are usually of similar power, with smaller parties like the Worker's Party and Progress Party getting less than 20% of the votes. Currently, the Democratic Party has the majority with 45 Consavors, 41% of the Consavate.

### Administrative Divisions
