**Sallisland** (Sallish: **Sjajòqija**; a contraction of "Sjajitkòćeg qija", meaning "Shining Man's Country"), officially the **Sallislandic Republic** (Sallish: **Sjajòqimsja Republika**) and formerly **Nucleria** (Sallish: Zurúdiqija) is a country in the Kaninichia island landmass of Northwestern Europe. It gained independence in 1997 as a region of Gicama split into its own country. It is bordered by Gicama to the south, Kuboia to the west, and Salasoa to the east.

## History

Sallish, as a language, has been spoken by Sallish people (a Sumin tribe originating from the Island of Soda and migrating to the Kaninichia landmass) since around 1650. The country of Sallisland was established in 1798 by them, and it was formed around Lake Sallis.

The country was colonised by Denmark in 1825. While Denmark did not commit a genocide on the Sallish people, they influenced the language and culture and bred into the native people.

Additionally, from around 1815 to the start of World War I, Serbs began to immigrate to Sallisland in massive amounts. While the first people to do so were set for Sweden instead, they stayed in Sallisland and became a major part of their society.

In 1888, neighbouring Gicama occupied Sallisland and made it into a region of Gicama rather than its own country. One of the first major things they did was build over the Lake Sallis, which Sallisland was specifically formed around, and later, by the early 1900s, Sallish people were treated extremely poorly - men were forced to work on mines or farms or join the Gicamese military, and women were expected to be housewives. In 1960, Gicama also started trying to use Sallisland as a site for nuclear power generation and renamed it to Nucleria, which resulted in the deaths of thousands.

In 1968, the then-newly-founded Hartlanian Aid Society decided to intervene in Gicama regarding the brutality inflicted onto the Sallish people. Later, in 1970, the British and Swedish militaries joined in on the HAS' mission, leading to the Gicamese-Anglo-Swedish War, which ended in 1977. That year, brutalism on the Sallish people would stop with the Salli-Gicamese Peace Treaty in 1977, but Sallisland would still not become independent until years later.

In 1981, most of the the nuclear sites were cleared, leaving only a few power plants which were heavily sanctioned. Proper cities would begin to be established, such as Znamdegrat and New Belgrade.

In 1995, 14 years after nuclear sites in Gicama were cleared, it was decided by the Gicamese president of the time, Frederico , that reparations for the Sallish were needed, and Gicama gave its northern territory back to Sallish people. Plans were made that year to split the territory into its own republic.

Sallisland was officially established in 1997, under a democratic regime, with the president being Marko Milośpjok.

## Geography

### Human rights

Sallisland is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and Convention against Torture, and the Constitution guarantees basic human rights to all Sallislandic citizens.

According to women's rights organisations, teenage girls are still often trafficked into prostitution and women often face various forms of harassment at work. Additionally, many people living in rural areas of Sallisland have no nearby medical services and are illegally forced into slave labour on farms.

### Military

When Sallisland was a region of Gicama, all men who refused to work on nuclear sites or as miners were conscripted to the Gicamese army. In 1995, all conscriptions were suspended and the system was completely abolished in 1999.
