Nasphilitae ⟪nāsfɪlɪtɛ⟫, officially the Grand Duchy of Nasphilitae is a county in Crabry. Its fifteen Thanes and seventy-five Earldoms (five Earldoms within each Thane), lies on the southern portion ("Supra-South") of the South Pacific Ocean, stretching inland west until the Western Mountlands which borders Esfalsa, south until the Southern Mountlands which borders Jakub and north until the non-natural border with Phanama. Lack of inland rivers, physical barriers to the North and openness to the Oceanic streams contribute to a wide range of both meteorological, geological and biomic diversity and volatility. It is a sparsely inhabited country of 17.77 million citizens, with the vast majority residing on the "barriers". These include: Along the coast, colloquially dubbed the "Brownfield Coastline" where the most populous City in Nasphilitae Agorport is; The Aforementioned Southern Mountlands where the third most populous City in Nasphilitae New Sorthane is located; And along a portion of the aforementioned Western Mountlands, mainly around the Capital and second largest City Suhavenster is seated.
The above, in aggregate, explain the deep regional divide within the country.
Little is known about indigenous peoples, though they've played a role in shaping the initial settlers culture, as evident today by customs, rituals and pantheon myths practiced by the citizens.
No definitive answer as to why the settle-colonists from the Austral Empire have chosen to arrive and eventually establish Nasphilitae. Two theories with the most consensus elaborate the decision either by suggesting that Nasphilitae was granted by the Imperial Nobility to Nasphiliti Settling Nobility as a reward for some prior delict. The other theory suggests that Nasphilitae was a safe haven for various denominations and religions, which explain the non-noble settlers.
The Nasphiliti political & justice system has been described as "confusing" by foreigners. Nasphilitae is a highly localised, regional, Electoral monarchy, with an Uncodified constitution.
The country's Head of Government is the Head of Government and Speaker, elected every seven years, as the leader of the winning political party in the Lower House National Elections. The Head of State holds the title of Grand Duke, nominated among the Fiften Peers (uniformly called "The Peerage") by other Peers and Earls, prior to the winning nominees being subject to National elections, after which they serve for life. The official and mandatory language of Nasphilitae is Austral, though most of the citizens speaks at least two additional languages fluently due to the education systems emphasis on regional cultural studies.
Importantly, the domestic, common law does not recognise the concept of "ethnicity" nor does the National Registry conduct it. A similar, though harsher, regulations exist regarding religious affiliation. Namely, it is prohibited from confessing which denomination or religion citizens adhere to in public, justifying it by the commonly held belief that religious freedom is best kept if it is kept private. However, the National Registry conducts information classified as "Theism" or "Agnostic Theism", with Atheism being prohibited, despite Nasphilitae being a secular country. With 96-98% of the population identifying as "Theistic", Nasphilitae is one of the most religious countries in the South Pacific.
It is, counter-intuitively to previous statements, notable that Nasphilitae is both very assimilatory and multicultural at the same time, likely due to periods of high immigration usually during global conflicts, coupled with historically lax immigration laws. One of the reasons for high immigration is that Nasphilitae has never participated directly in an external armed conflict and has had only a single armed conflict inside the country during collapse of the Military Junta regime in 1958-1963.
