Etymology
The name Estantia comes from a passage in the La§ (Self-Deprecationist scripture), specifically Ghij 6:54-55: "And the Lord said to Kegat'nu: "Go and bring forth the promised land to your brethren. It shall be called 'Iz'tan' to honour your forefathers." Iz'tan means 'blessed community'.
The standard way to refer to a citizen of Estantia is as an "Estantinese."
History
Estantia originally consisted of local Celtic tribes until it was claimed by the Gastric Empire in 880 BC. The Gastric Empire dramatically improved the economy by forcing its citizens to get rich or die; it is thought to this day to be the earliest example of Iron Fist Consumerism.
Near the end of the 1st Century BC, Gastrian citizens began to lose trust in and stopped supporting the Emperor. This was mainly due to the rising popularity of the religion Christianity and the Emperor siding against it. The citizens welcomed the Lotanin Empire's invasion in 12 AD.
The Lotanin Empire continued to control the area until 1398, when the Osean Empire took control . This also stayed around until the 19th century, at which point the empire was starting to weaken and crumble. The country became independent in 1876.
Estantia was rather for the next 86 years. It attempted to remain neutral in worldwide conflict, apart the Osean Gulf War against Slovai in the 1930s. However, in 1962, King Abestqi IV died suddenly and activist Llolo Tzug became dictator, got rid of the Government, had every member of the Royal Family executed and changed the country's name to East Ibymaulerbarzistan.
Llolo Tzug controlled East Ibymaulerbarzistan for 26 years, using the methods of Iron Fist Consumerism used by the Gastric Empire. But in 1988, Llolo Tzug was shot by a peasant who was 'tired of being led by a dictatorship oppressing their people'. He left the dictatorship to Kyyl Twndo, who then got rid of the dictatorship, brought back the Government and changed the name back to Estantia.
Geography

Estantia have been trying to preserve their environment, but the growing population has led to many problems. Estantia has a biome of Deciduous Forest.
Estantia is divided into 72 provinces.

Government
Since 1988, the Federal Republic of Estantia has been a Republic. It is divided into two main sections, the Congress and the Forum. The Congress have the power to declare laws and manage how the rest of the Government is ran, whilst the Forum have the power to pass laws and meet to discuss current affairs in Estantia.
The Forum is also divided into five parties: Two major parties (Liberalists and Democratics) and three minor parties (TSP, Nationalists and Internationalists). Usually, the major parties take the cabinets (collection of ministries), with the leading party taking the main cabinet and the other taking the shadow cabinet. However, as the Government is currently lead by a minor party, the major party with the most votes took the foreground cabinet, the other taking the shadow cabinet.
Foreign Relations and Military
Estantia prefers to settle matters via diplomacy; it only uses military when absolutely necessary. Estantia is a member of OSEAN.
Estantia currently has a disputed territory in the far east of the country called Pakalan. On a vote on whether to change to a democracy or not in 1988, Pakalan was the only province to vote against. It was so reluctant to the change that it was given autonomous status. Following the first leader's assassination in 2007, the province's new leader declared independence, which was not recognised by the Estantinese Government. This has since led to numerous attacks and political demonstrations.
Estantia's military has 430,000 members, but it has declined since the end of the dictatorship. Military activity and weapons are infamously kept secret the Government; revealing any information without permission is a punishable offence.
