Inquista, officially the Microstate of Inquista, is a sovereign microstate and city-state within the European Union. Located upon the central Mediterranean Basin, Inquista is bordered by Iyori to the east, Rimroth to the west, and fully encompasses the Rhinian enclave of Freedom Park. Inquista is by far the smallest nation in the European Union, as it only lays claim to 3082 square kilometers of territory. Saint Dominico, the capital and only city in the nation, covers approximately 99.8% of the country.
Inquista is regarded as one of the European Union's largest commercial and financial hubs, particularly in commercial maritime trade and international banking. The Saint Dominico Port is the largest and busiest port in the European Union, importing and exporting well over two billion tonnes of cargo annually. Inquista's globalised and diversified economy depends heavily on international trade, especially the financial sector, which made up by far the largest portion of Inquista's total GDP in 2014. Inquista also serves as a large manufacturer of items in the European Union, particularly in retail goods manufacturing such as fashion and cosmetic items. In terms of GDP per capita, Inquista ranks third-highest in the European Union, with a per capita just over $47,100. Inquista is often regarded as one of the best places to do business, as Inquista is a renowned tax-free haven, with no labour laws, minimum wage laws or labour unions in the country. As such, Inquista has spawned over a thousand self-made billionaires, while simultaneously boasting one of the largest income inequalities in the European Union.
As of August 2015, Inquista is home to over 246 million national citizens, 2% of which are foreign-born and have immigrated to the country. Due to the small size of the nation, Inquista has the highest population density in the European Union, with over 79,824 Inquistans located in the average square kilometer. While Inquista is diverse, ethnic caucasions predominate: 75.2% percent of the population are white, with significant minorities of Marrakechian, Sahrawi, and African ancestry. English and Latin serve as the two official languages of Inquista. Inquista has adopted Inquistan Orthodoxy as its state religion. As of 2014, 99.1% of Inquistans have regard themselves as "religious", with 97.6% of which claiming to follow the state religion of Inquistan Orthodoxy.
Inquista is a democratic ecclesiastical theocracy, and as such, the Archbishop of the Inquista serves as both head of state and head of the national church. The Archbishop of Inquista also serves as the leader of the College of Bishops, whom serve as the legislature of the national government.
