Kalopia (Kalopian: Καλοπία; Majatran: كالوبيا; Siphinan: Kalopia) is a Central Majatran nation. Kalopia is bordered to the west by Deltaria and Jakania, and to the east by Kafuristan and Solentia. It is the '63 most populous nation on Terra with a population of 34,850,093, and an area of 1,147,200 km², resulting in a population density of 30.38 people / km². It has several major ccities including: Helios, Karanija, Ora, Justiniana, and Ammopoli.
Name and Etymology[]
The nation has been known under a variety of names throughout its history, often used in competition with each other. The use of one name or another has often been the result of political and ideological preference and sparked powerful and occasionally violent disputes. In an attempt to put an end to disputes on the nation's name the government adopted a policy in 4229 which established the terms "Kalopia" and "Wantuni" as interchangeable synonyms, and from 5495, after approval of new Constitution, only "Kalopia" is used as nation name [1].
Kalopia derives from καλός (kalós), meaning "beautiful" or "noble" in ancient Kalopian. Originally named after the ancient city-state "Kalops" in Solentia, it was revived by nationalists in the 25th century.
Wantuni originated after the Ahmadi conquests, named after the Wantuni Dynasty. Used mainly by Majatran speakers, it sometimes carries connotations of Wantuni supremacism.
Ajam was introduced during the Ahmadi Caliphate, meaning "foreigner" or "mute," initially a derogatory term for non-Jelbic and non-Majatran speakers, later becoming neutral.
Najd ("highland") is a poetic Majatran term referring to the nation's hilly terrain, particularly used during Wantuni rule periods.
Kalopia-Wantuni emerged in the 36th century as a compromise between ethnic terms, though "Kalopia" remained preferred by Kalopians and "Wantuni" by Majatrans.
Central Majatra was briefly used as a neutral alternative but never gained popularity.
Kalopi-Siphina was introduced by the Reform Party in the 43rd century, reflecting anti-Majatran sentiments, and was briefly the official name during that period.

Geography[]
Located in the center of the Majatran continent, Kalopia borders the Majatran Sea to the north and the Preartic Ocean (or Lievenian Sea) to the south. Kalopia experiences one of the most diverse climates on Terra, with a Mediterranean climate in the far north, an alpine tundra and glaciers in the northern and southern mountains, a warm desert climate as well as a temperate continental climate in the center, and an Alpine climate along the southern coast. There are four seasons in most of the country: summer (December to February), autumn (March to May), winter (June to August), and spring (September to November). The geography of Kalopia gives it access to many natural resources, primarily: lignite, petroleum, iron ore, bauxite, lead, zinc, nickel, magnesite, marble, salt, and hydropower potential.
Politics and Government[]
- The Kalopian Republic is a presidential republic. Elected Head of State also is the Head of Government, called President of the Kalopian Republic
The President is the Head of State and Government of Kalopiki Dimokratía, elected in free, democratic elections every two years by the people. The position was created in 5497 with the approval of the New Century Constitution as a merge of the positions of President and Prince as Heads of State and Prime Minister as Head of Government.
The national legislature is and is unicameral formed by 305 representatives elected every 2 years through a d'hondt electoral system.
Administrative divisions[]
Kalopia consists of 5 regions called Provinces. The current provinces are:
Foreign Affairs[]
Kalopia has signed many international treaties. First of them is Agreement on the Trans-Majatran Corridors Network signed on June 4203; and last of them is International Treaty for Peace, Freedom, and Unity signed on December 5579.
Kalopia maintains closer relationship with Istalia from February 5154, after both countries sign 𝘐𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯-𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤, 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.
Military[]
- The Kalopian Defense Forces (Modern Kalopian: Καλοπικές Δυνάμεις Άμυνας, tr: Kalopikés Dynámeis Ámynas) also known as the Armed Forces of Kalopia (Modern Kalopian: Ένοπλες Δυνάμεις της Καλοπίας, tr. Énoples Dynámeis ti̱s Kalopías) is the combined forces of the Helioclid Dominion. It comprises three branches of service, the Kalopian Army, the Kalopian Navy and the Kalopian Air Force.
Economy[]
Kalopia operates under a minor-regulated capitalist economy.
Taking into account most exchange rates, this makes Kalopia a middle economy on Terra. The economies of the two constituents nations, Kalopia and Wantuni are very different in nature, the northern Kalopian one being highly diversified while the southern one largely depends on the petrochemical industry.
Given that Kalopia is a coastal nation, bordering seas to both the north and the south, the shipping industry is probably the largest component of the Kalopian economy. Ships flying the Kalopian flag are a common sight throughout the world, but particularly in the Majatran Sea and, according to the National Maritime Industries Board, the Kalopian merchant fleet accounts for possibly as much as 26% of the world's fleet capacity, making it one of the world's largest. The NMIB states that Kalopia ranks first in not only tankers and bulk carriers, but also containers, and ranks second in "other ships." Today's merchant fleet is at an all-time high of roughly 12,000 ships. Kalopia is host to literally hundreds of the world's major shipping firms, including the notable National Shipping Company, whose controlling interest is publicly owned.
Given Kalopia's large maritime background, it is no surprise that fishing is another major industry within the nation. Though substantially smaller than Kalopia's merchant fleet, most estimates agree that the nation's commercial fishing fleet is larger than most. Primarily centered around the Majatran Sea, the Kalopian fishing industry caters mainly albacore, salmon, beluga, and bass. These fish are sold to major outlets across the globe, but are also popular at Kalopian fish markets, where live fish, fish meat, and fish products (such as caviar or fish oil) are sold freely. On the opposite coast, in the Perarctic Ocean, commercial fishing is not quite as large an industry, but is dominated heavily by whaling, in demand for whale oil, whale meat, and margarine.
Perhaps the most notable component of Kalopia's economy is the tourism industry, from which it gains as much as 15% of its GDP. As recently as 5576, Kalopia welcomed 34.9 milion tourists, most of them visiting the former capital city of Polykratos. Kalopia has long been a major tourist attraction for its rich cultural tradition as a center of philosophy, science, and the arts; its historic sites; its well-known spas and thermal springs; and finally its scenic Majatran beaches. In the past, Kalopia had been criticized for lagging behind other nations, as far as tourism amenities and infrastructure were concerned, but in recent years such criticism has subsided. Kalopia now contains literally tens of thousands of hotels, ranging from family-oriented beach resorts to self-proclaimed "seven-star hotels," to inexpensive hostels designed for adventurers on a low budget, and such heavy tourism has given way to booming nightlife sectors in most urban areas of Kalopia. In order to transport such a large influx of tourists, Kalopia relies heavily upon its national carrier, Kalopian Airlines, and hundreds of smaller airlines across the nation. Another popular method of transport is by sea, and Kalopian cruise lines are becoming a popular attraction throughout the Majatran Sea.
Despite limited space and resources, agriculture is also an important area of the Kalopian economy, with the most prominent products being wheat, corn, barley, sugar beets, olives, tomatoes, wine, tobacco, potatoes, beef, and dairy products. Other fairly important sectors of the Kalopian economy include food and tobacco processing, textiles, chemicals, metal products, mining, and petroleum. The service industry is a rapidly growing side of the economy, currently dominated by multi-service insurance giant Aristocrat Insurance Group, Ltd., with a number of Kalopian banking and financial service organizations gaining credence at home and around the world.
Demographics[]

In regions where a minority language is spoken by at least 12% of the population, that language shall have regional official status, promoting linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.".
