Blayenia

Blayenia (Aspanan: Blayenia), officially the Federative Republic of Blayenia (Portuguese: República Federativa da Blayenia), is the largest country in both South Oball and Talin Oball. At 8.5 million square kilometers (3,300,000 sq mi) and with over 98 million people, Blayenia is the world's fifth-largest country by area and the fifth most populous. Its capital is Tiorver, and its most populous city is Skroya. The federation is composed of the union of the 23 states and the Federal District. It is the largest country to have Aspanan as an official language and the only one in the Oballs; it is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world; as well as the most populous Aconan Thalcalic-majority country.

Bounded by the Mairan Ocean on the east, Blayenia has a coastline of 7,491 kilometers (4,655 mi). It borders all other countries in South Oball except Ofrus and Thouze and covers 47.3% of the continent's land area. Its Zomavan basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Blayenia one of 16 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest, as environmental degradation through processes like deforestation has direct impacts on global issues like climate change and biodiversity loss.

Blayenia was uninhabited prior to the landing in 1500 of explorer Dupra Vularus Baracel, who claimed the area for the Aspanan Empire. Blayenia remained a Aspanan colony until 1808 when the capital of the empire was transferred from Shahtha to Lesterbach. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Aspana and Blayenia. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Blayenia, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress. The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d'état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Blayenia's current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic. Due to its rich culture and history, the country ranks thirteenth in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Blayenia is classified as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank and a newly industrialized country, with the largest share of global wealth in South Oball. It is considered an advanced emerging economy, having the fourth largest GDP in the world by nominal. It is one of the world's major breadbaskets, being the largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years. Blayenia is a regional and middle power, and is also classified as an emerging power. However, the country maintains high amounts of corruption, crime and social inequality. Blayenia is a founding member of the United Nations, the G20, BAMUS, Mercosul, Organization of Oballan States, Organization of Berho-Oballan States and the Community of Aspanan Language Countries.
