Beblatiya

Beblatiya (Qöşpeli: Beblatiya [bɛb'læt'iːjæ]), officially the Beblatid Republic (Qöşpeli: Vispubliq Beblatid) is a landlocked country in Ladinotia. Beblatiya is bordered by Ispanestan to the north, The Ridlemarch to the northwest, Wibstra-Riddellia to the southwest, and Serica to the east. Its capital and largest city is Nurazan. Ethnic Beblars make up the majority of the country's 3.6 million people, followed by significant minorities of Fabians and Sericans. The official language of Beblatiya is Qöşpeli, which is spoken by the majority of the population.

Beblatiya's history spans a variety of cultures and empires. Although difficult to traverse due to its highly mountainous terrain, Beblatiya has been at the crossroads of several great civilisations who used to trade along the Highway, along with other commercial routes. Inhabited by a succession of tribes and clans, Beblatiya has periodically fallen under larger domination, and eventually the area would be subjected to large scale settlement by Qöşpeli speaking nomads. Beblatiya was conquered by the Qwiliqic Horde; it regained independence, but was later invaded by Öled Horde. After the fall of Öled, Beblatids were an integral part of Kabarsan Khanate. In 1876, the Karbarsan Khanate was forcefully integrated into the Serican Empire as a result of the Orange Protocol, and in 1953, after the Totality War, the Beblatid Council Republic was formed to become a constituent republic of the People's Republic of Serica. Following the chaos around Supreme Commissar Lou's death in 1998, pro-independence politician Eset Kenjetuly seized power. On 31 August 1999, Beblatiya declared independence from Serica and a new government was established.

After independence, Beblatiya was officially a unitary state, but after Eset Kenjetuly's resignation, it became a federal state. Beblatiya has a presidential system. Throughout its existence, the country has continued to endure authoritarianism, revolts, corruption, transitional governments, and political conflict.

Beblatiya was a member of the Reciprocal Defence Treaty Pact, however, following a recent referendum, it has left the organisation. The country, while wealthy, ranks highly on the GINI coefficient, and has a reliance on natural resources. While generally since independence Beblatiya has been generally isolationist, some have argued that this has recently started to change in the aftermath of the 2022 Beblatid RDTP Referendum.
