Fabiana

Fabiana (Fabian: Feybtyana, [feɪˈbtʃʲɑːnæ]), or the Illuminatory Council Nation-Republics of Fabiana, is a transcontinental country spanning much of eastern Hergensia and western Dondia. It is the third country in the world. Fabiana extends across six time zones and shares land boundaries with eighteen countries. It is the world's ninth-most populous country and Hergensia's second most populous country. The country's capital and largest city is Orocford. Saint Andrews is Fabiana's cultural centre and second-largest city. Other major urban areas in the country include Newbery, Lizbery, Adasbenton, Little Lunden, Arksklaws, and Troll.

The Northern Ingerlads emerged as a recognisable group in Hergensia between the 9th and 4th centuries BA. The first Northern Ingerlad state, Newengl, arose in the 8th century PA, and in 914, it adopted Eastern Christianity from various missionaries from southern Hergensia. Newengl's expansion precipitated the development of various sub-kingdoms, which would vie for power after the dissolution of Newengl. The assorted Municipal-Princes would fight for dominance over the Northern Ingerlads, with the formation of the United Kingdom of Fabiana in the 16th century ending this period of conflict. By the 19th century, Fabiana had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and the efforts of explorers, developing into the Russian Empire. However, with the Fabian Civil War in 1915, Fabiana's monarchy was abolished and replaced with a communist state, the Illuminatory Council Nation-Republics of Fabiana. At the expense of millions of lives, the ICNRF underwent rapid industrialisation in the 1930s, and later played a decisive role for the Concord of the Totality War by leading large-scale efforts against Serica. With the onset of the post-war period, it became an isolationist state, and despite some liberalisation of political polices, Fabiana has remains an oppressive Illuminatory Communist state.

Since the turn of the century, Fabiana's political system has been dominated by Isidore Roberpete, under whom the country has experienced some democratic reforms and promoted further decentralisation, but has continued to repress dissidents, engage in arbitrary purges, and has remained a highly totalitarian state. Fabiana has increasingly become involved in Hergensian politics, seeking to re-establish its traditional sphere of influence in the eastern half of the continent.

Internationally, Fabiana ranks amongst the lowest in measurements of democracy, human rights and freedom of the press. The Fabianan economy ranks 11th by nominal GDP, relying heavily upon its abundant natural resources and large manufacturing sector. Fabiana possesses two of the worlds 86 nuclear weapons, and is a permanent members of the World Council Security Committee. It is also a member of the G20, RDTP ECZ, TDEC, OSCH, and the WTO. Fabiana is home to 28 WCEHCO World Heritage Sites.
