Information about New Entaria

**New Entaria** (Osebian: *Nueva Entaria*), officially the **Multinational Republic of New Entaria** (Osebian: *República Multinacional de Nueva Entaria*) is a country in the south-west of the country, in the west insular part of Tena, having coast to the Vindish Ocean to its north, the Stokaria Ocean to its east, and the Grenzer Ocean to its west. Since it is formed by islands, the country does not have any border with any other one.

With an area of 2.061.400 km², New Entaria is the largest country of Tena and of the West World Development and Cooperation Organisation (WWDCO) and the Economic Community (ECo), organisation which is part of as an observer. With a population exceeding the 52,3 million of inhabitants, New Entaria is the third country by population, but it is the twelveth with bigger population density at 25,39 inhabitants/km². The country's capital city is Puerto del Oeste, which is also the major urban area of the country, followed by Ateneais, Puerto Puro, Lacosta and Eloy.

Newentish native indigenous people arrived to New Entaria grounds during the Iron Age, evolving in different tribes that were finally unified in three different Empires, the Aztoks in the north, the Mays in the centre and the Inks in the south of New Entaria Island. These three empires had great wars to control the main island, fighting bloody battles that did not fix any problems. However, in 1452, Osebia landed on Newentish soil, hitherto unknown to the continent, and the Newentish genocide began, taking advantage of the instability of the native empires. Osebia, in this way, established its colonial regime in the territory. It was not until the XIX century when different thinkers and philosophers began to establish an independentist base in the population subjected to the Osebian regime. In 1822, after an Independence War against Osebia, New Entaria managed to win with the support of Cassandria, creating the still existing Multinational Republic of New Entaria.

There are still groups of indigenous people living in New Entaria, mainly on the Grenzer Ocean coast, and these are represented in the parliament, and their culture is still protected and promoted. After years on tension, relations with Osebia have recovered and improved, creating ties of collaboration and forgiveness. Thus, the Osebian Republic has donated many resources to help in the economic development of the country.

At present, New Entaria is a secular parliamentary republic with a presidential and constitutional regime, with Lautaro Varela serving as the head of state. It is considered a developed country, with the sixth largest economy of the continent. It is a member of different organisations, including the United Tenan Nations Organisation (UTNO), the West World Development and Cooperation Organisation (WWDCO) and the Tenan Broadcasting Union (TBU), although it is also an observer member of the Economic Community (ECo). Since the country is part of the ECo, it has some border-control advantages but without the possibility of using the common currency. In that way, the official currency is the Bato (฿) (NEB).

## Political Geography

New Entaria is divided in six provinces. These are Atechado, Carhuavelica, Costa Oeste, Costa Sur, Guazucuyó and Isla del Oeste.

In alphabetical order, **Atechado** is the province located in the north-east of the country, having coast to the Stockaria Ocean. It is home to the biggest amount of people in New Entaria, with more than sixteen million inhabitants. Its economy depends on the service and industry sector since although they are eclipsed by the capital and its island, the fact of having a larger population allows the arrival of a large number of investors and opportunities for companies in the province. Atechado's tourism depends on the nature of the Central Mountains, the sports of the coast, and the urban area of Ateneais, the second city of New Entaria. The province is home to the second largest amount of indigenous people of the country, although they only represent around a 12% of Atechado.

**Carhuavelica** is a province located in the east of the country, bordering with Costa Sur, Guazucuyó and the Stockaria Ocean, and being just in the south of Isla del Oeste. Its main city is Lacosta, the fourth largest one of New Entaria and the one closest to the capital city. Its the province that is gaining the biggest GDP growth in the country, since over the last few years, there have been several investments from both public and private part in agriculture and renewable energies, making extensive sustainable greenhouses to be commonly seen in the province, which is the flattest of New Entaria. However, this growing relevance is still being overshadowed by the closeness to the capital metropolitan area.

**Costa Oeste** is located in the north-west of the country, having coast to the Grenzer Ocean. It is made up of most of the land on the main island, and also Yunes Island, the northernmost point of the country. Its geography is mostly mountainous, containing all of the Northern Mountains and part of the Central Mountains. However, the north of Costa Oeste is flat, a perfect place for the development of the primary sector. The province has undergone a profound economic transformation in the north of it due to the growth of Eloy, the fifth most populous city in New Entaria, creating a development of the industry sector never seen in Costa Oeste until the last decades. In this province is where most of the native Newentish people lives, representing the 70% of all inhabitants with more than two million indigenous.

**Costa Sur** is the least populated province in New Entaria, with almost two million inhabitants. It is in that way, the poorest and least developed region in the country as well. It is located in the south of the country, having coast to the transition area between the Stockaria and the Grenzer Oceans. It is a mostly mountainous province, since the Southern Mountains are located on its soil, thus creating a difficult situation for the development of the economy. Despite these circumstances, various social movements have emerged to demand better conditions and more opportunities from the central government, achieving greater intervention and public investment in Costa Oeste. The indigenous population of the province is the one that represents a greater percentage of the country, being 85% of the population of Costa Oeste.

**Guazucuyó** is the third most populated and richest province in New Entaria, being also the home of Puerto Puro, the third largest city and the most touristic one in the country. Guazucuyó is the province that receives the largest amount of visitors, making tourism the biggest economic sector of the province. Holidaymakers feel attracted to the long golden sand beaches in the center of the New Entaria Bay. On the other hand, the banking and financial sector have grown notably in recent years, due to the sharp reduction in taxes carried out by the local government, which sought to attract a greater number of tourists. These measures have been highly criticised as they have increased poverty and inequality in Guazucuyó.

Lastly, **Isla del Oeste** is the province located in the east of the country, being home to the capital and largest urban area of New Entaria, Puerto del Oeste. However, the province by itself is the second largest one in population terms with more than thirteen million inhabitants. Isla Del Oeste's economy is highly dependent on the service sector and tourism, since due to its high population density, it does not have enough space for the extensive development of industry and agriculture. Either way, its economy is holding up due to the stock market sector and metropolitan and business tourism. Thus, Isla del Oeste is the richest province of New Entaria in GDP per capita, and the second one in nominal terms.

## Physical Geography

New Entaria is a mostly mountainous country with some flat areas in the north and centre of the territory. The country has three mountain ranges named Northern, Central and Southern Mountains, receiving the name from their location in the map. New Entaria is bathed by three oceans. The Vindish Ocean to the north, the Grenzer Ocean to the west, and the Stockaria Ocean to the east, where most of the population lives. The country is made of a major island, the New Entaria island, and two small ones, the Yunes Island to the north, and the Tacayo Island in the centre-east, which is the most densely populated island of Tena.

The country has two main rivers that flow through its territory. Both are born in the Central Mountains and die in the Stockaria Ocean, but one, the Norte River goes to the north, and another, the Sur River, goes to the south. These rivers are very mighty due to the fact that they receive water from numerous tributaries and are located in a monsoon climate with heavy rains throughout the year.

Talking about the Newentish climate conditions, the country mainly has a tropical climate in the east and in the coastal areas, where most of the population lives. However, the majority of the territory is under a monsoon climate, with huge rains all-year-round. Either way, temperatures generally remain warm throughout the year in most of the country. However, in the mountain ranges, the climate is mountainous, with cold winters and mild summers, having snow in the cooler months.

## Politics

New Entaria is a presidential constitutional republic, meaning that the executive power is held by one person, the President of New Entaria, and the legislative power is held by the parliament, Parlamento de la Unión (Union Parliament), that is elected and replaced every four years. The elections take place in such a way that each province of the country provides a number of seats proportional to its population, making it to 275 seats in total.
