Eflad (pronounced: /eflɑːd/, Eflæde: /eflædɛ/), officialy Technocratic Republic of Eflad, is a country in the South Pacific on the island of north Cordilia. Situated between the Astro Sea to the northwest and a moutain range to the south and east, it covers a total area of 152 827km² with a population of 56,7 Million within 4 federalities. Eflad borders Erenor & Sereva to the southwest, Upper Flumenvallis and Tholisia to the east and northeast respectively. The nations capital is Tehnograd, with it also being the largest city and the scientific centre, whilst the financial centre is Selpe.
Eflad was uninhabited for a very long time due to its remoteness and the delimination due to the moutain range and the Astro sea. First record of settlements were at the city of Sepal, dated back to 40 B.C. Since then natives have setled from the rivers of Sapol to Kerta. Records from the 12th century indicate that there were first settlements from foreigners. They were described as tall, dark skinned and muscular. Until today, there isn't a consensus as from where these settlers came, as they left soon after. Only in the 1500s did the mass settlement start. This time by pale skinned people. They had good relations with the natives and where friendly. This continued until the 19th century and the civil war. This war, led by natives as they were being exploited by the settler, lasted for four years and ended in a draw with no side having the upper hand. At last a treaty was signed and the Republic of Eflad was founded. The date of 23.08. is celebrated as "Day of the Nation" (Eflæde: "Dan Nacina").
Today Eflad is a powerhouse in terms of economy and ranks 566th out of more than 7 000 nations in the South Pacific. As a developed socialist country it provides a universal health care system, social security and tution-free university education.
