Rhayna (Aegean: Ράινα, Aegean pronunciation: [ɹ̠ɐin̪ɐ]), the United Provinces of Rhayna (Aegean: Ηνωμένες Επαρχίες του Ράινα, Aegean pronunciation: [in̪o̞m̪ɛ̝n̪ɛ̝s ɛ̝pɐrçiɛ̝s t̪u ɹ̠ɐin̪ɐ]) or the United Provinces of Rhayna, Alla-gy and Nea-gy (Aegean: Ηνωμένες Επαρχίες του Ράινα, Άλλα-γη και Νέα-γη, Aegean pronunciation: [in̪o̞m̪ɛ̝n̪ɛ̝s ɛ̝pɐrçiɛ̝s t̪u ɹ̠ɐin̪ɐ ɐlɐ'ɣi kɐi n̪ɛ̝ɐ'ɣi]), is a large country spanning the center of Cordilia. It is bordered by Qaweritoyu, the Republic of Yttria and the Republic of Sugovia to the north, the Weissersteiner Empire to the east, the Valkyrian Republic, Hystaiga and the Most Serene Imperial Republic of Ateemara to the east, and the Cordilian Sea to the west. Pzarya is the capital and second largest city of the UPRAN, while Rouketa, the largest city, is an important industrial and economic hub at the basin of Lake Kryo. At approximately 58 million inhabitants, the UPRAN isn't a densely populated country.
The UPRAN, or most specifically, the region of Moellia has one of the longest histories of any country, tracing its heritage along the water sources of the region back to 30,000 BCE. Considered one of the cradles of civilisation, Ancient Moellia saw some of the earliest developments of writing, agriculture, urbanisation, organised religion and central government. For the vast majority of it's history, the region has been divided into different isolated Aegean nations of varying size and lifespan.
The UPRAN's current government is a constitutional federal semi-presidential republic led by prytanis Romanos Kanidis. The UPRAN is officially a laic nation, and Aegean is its official language. The great majority of its people live near the banks of the rivers, Lake Kryo, and the steepe of Nea-gy, where the only arable land is found. The large regions of the Rhaynan and Alla-gyan deserts, which constitute most of the UPRAN's territory, are sparsely inhabited. Most of the UPRAN's residents spread across the densely populated centres of Lake Kryo, Apoala river, and other locations with water sources. The UPRAN is considered to be a minor regional power in Cordilia. It is a developing country having a diversified economy. The UPRAN is a member of the World Forum and the Cross Pacific Space Cooperation. In July 11, 2024, the ambassador for the UPRAN, Andreus Savvidis, was elected as speaker of the World Forum.
