The United States of Izaakia is the largest nation in the Keyli continent, and has 2 overseas territories, with a total Area of 324,935km^2 north of the 70th parallel (Izaakia claims all land south of the 70th parallel (15,500,000km2) these claims are disputed). The population of Izaakia is 96 million Million, mostly concentrated on the northern coast of Keyli and the coasts of La Montagne and Brödmark, with large population centres in the capital Izaakston (5 Million), Port Vent (9 Million), Hopstown (7 Million) and New Mako (14 million).
The Izaakian political system is officially a Constitutional Monarchy, with Empress Astrid Iceborn remaining head of state, however she now has no constitutional powers or rights outside the right to consult and be Informed. There is a democratically elected federal government led by Prime Minister Valkyrie Mountbatten with devolved governments in each of the 3 nations and the New Mako-Izaakston conurbation . Economically the nation of Izaakia is highly developed with a relatively high manufacturing output, led by the furniture producer Izea, the technology firm Taiga and all terrain car manufacturer Ice Shark. Outside of the manufacturing sector, Izaakia takes advantage of its location along shipping lanes between the Cordilian Sea and the Brevelo Sea, with New Mako being a global shipping centre, there is also a large environmental tourism sector. The nations of Brödmark and La Montagne are not developed as highly as Izaakia, however they do have successful economies in agriculture, tourism, mining(particular la montane), finance, manufacturing and arms production.
Etymology
Izaakia is named after the old Montacian word for freedom, Izkän. This name was adopted after the Imperial Family, Elites and Loyal Polytheists escaped from the rising tide of Christianity in La Montagne and Brödmark in 16th Century.
History
Prehistory
Very little is known about the prehistoric origins of the Izaakian people, they first emerged from the la Montagne region. Prehistoric bones and weapons suggest a highly violent culture, however the relative good health is shown in the bones by large structure. There are stone circles that align with the sun and the moon, however the true nature of these has been lost to history. The most famous stone circle, the Montacian Foundation circle, it is 8000 years old and sits atop the la Montagne mountain and is the center peace of the old imperial capital La Citadelle.
