Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Tsoghetia

The **United Kingdom of Great Tsoghetia** (Romanian: *Regatul Unit al Marii Tsoghetii*), commonly known as either **Great Tsoghetia** or simply **Tsoghetia**, is a country located on the western coast of Sairana.

Tsoghetia was unified in 1915, but the country can trace its ancestry back to the 12th century Kingdom of Miergalia, centred around the modern capital of Petribia. It shares borders with the Democratic Republic of Pojoinen to its north, Floviania to its south (via the territories of Schesnau and Brahé & Meceni), and Yokosunai to its east. To its west is the [sea] sea.

Romanian is the sole official language of Great Tsoghetia, although Finnish and Albanian are recognised minority languages, and are found along its northern border with Pojoinen and in the majority of the south-west of the country respectively.
