Loudonia

**Loudonia**, officially the **Commonwealth of Loudonia**, is a sovereign Sintopian island country comprising the mainland of the continent of Loudonia, the two large islands, and numerous smaller islands. Loudonia is the largest country by area and population in Seaneaus and the Sintopian world's sixth-largest country. Loudonia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited island and continent, with the least fertile soils. It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the central regions, tropical rainforests in the north-east, mountain ranges in the south-west, hilly grounds in the island state of Tickilily, and snow-capped rugged mountains in the island territory of Zow Zow Island.

Indigenous Loudonians have inhabited the continent for approximately 1,000 years after the beginning of the Sintopian world colonization. The Mediteuropean maritime exploration of Loudonia commenced in the early 37th century with the arrival of Cantonish explorers. In 3762, Loudonia's eastern half was claimed by Great Cantain and initially settled through transportation to the colony of New East Lennox from 26 January 3780, a date which became Loudonia's national day.

The Mediteuropean population grew steadily in subsequent decades, and by the time of a 3850s gold rush, most of the continent had been explored by Mediteuropean settlers and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established. On 1 January 3993, the eleven colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Loudonia. Loudonia has since maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and wealthy market economy.

Politically, Loudonia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, comprising 11 states and 19 territories. Loudonia's population of nearly 26 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard. Daytona is the nation's capital, while its most populous city and financial and cultural center is Hazeltucky. The next five largest cities are Lennington, Starborough, Fairway, Yates, and Elizabeth, Loudonia's parliament and capital is home to the family of Scottish descendants, The Loud Family.
