Fratanica, fully named The National Republic of Fratanica, is a unitary parliamentary republic located in Wysteria. It is bordered by The Grendels to the North and Marldeep to the West. The landmass of the mainland is 4,512,811 km² (1,742,406.068 square miles). There are 3 oversea territories, the Mardellian Islands, which is to the south of the mainland, Alsengar, which is situated in the seas to the east, and Lorenda, which is to the south as well. Las Ventados is the capital and largest city of Fratanica. Las Ventados also serves as the place where the Fratanican government and various agencies are situated. Fratanica is a unitary parliamentary republic, with the head of the government and head of state being the President of Fratanica. The legislative is the National Parliament, and the President sits as a member. However, the President does not vote in a parliamentary session. The country is divided into 11 provinces and 3 overseas territories.

Dating back to 8800 BCE, Fratanican land was occupied by the Poloynian and Hepi people. These tribes separated and broke off over the course of the next millenia. Usage of trading and bartering was used as a form of currency. Starting around 2300 BC, the land was divided into multiple states and regions with different forms of government and reigns of power. The land was then incorporated into an Absolute Monarchy beginning in 561 BC. This form of government existed until 212 BC, when the state collapsed and was replaced by the Bayzkhn Republic. The Bayzkhn Republic became a powerful nationstate, being strong militarily and economically. In 203, the Kingdom of Zakheria defeated Bayzkhn forces and took over the Republic after a 6-year war consisting of bloodshed and destruction of Bayzkhn forts.

The Kingdom of Zakheria installed a cruel and oppressive government in the former Republic. Many of those who lived in the former Bayzkhn republic were angered by this kingdom, however, they were all fearful of the government. The Zakherians were famous for cruel punishments and torture, oppressing those that opposed him. The Zakherians also had a large military presence, killing those that attempted to cause an insurrection. A bloody insurrection, which began in 867, finally kicked the Zakherians out of Fratanica, and the Fratanican Confederation was born. The Holy Fratanican Empire was created in the 1150s. In the 15th century, fine arts flourished. Artists such as Alberto de Redici and Caesar Alesteri revolutionized sculpture and painting in Fratanica, and brought about a renaissance era. However, this renaissance period was short-lived. In the late 16th century, the Caesserian empire ultimately overthrew the Fratanican government. After a century, this government was overthrown through another revolution by rebels of the Sovereignity Movement and the current form of Fratanica was born. In the late 19th century, Fratanican went through an industrial revolution. Factories and manufacturing exponentially grew, which also helped spike Fratanica's economy. This was also the time when it began trading with other countries. In 1938, a economic depression induced civil unrest and violence. The economy was near collapse. However, the new President of Fratanica, George Hanssen, introduced a new economic policy where citizens would trade in their gold for incentives. This brought Fratanica out of this period of economic instability. Today, Fratanica is a thriving, developed nation with mass public reforms in the 1980s. The HDI had increased dramatically from the 1950s to the 1980s, there was equal wealth distribution, there was better education of youth, and the number of low-income families had decreased exponentially. Fratanica has a high-tech, large military Fratanica currently hosts a good GDP per capita and has maintained high levels of development across the entirety of Fratanica. Fratanica boasts power in many sectors of the business industry, including defence technology and production of agricultural goods. It is a member of the World Assembly, International Justice System, and the International Exchange Student Program.

Etymology

The name "Fratanica" comes from the Hepi word fretius, meaning peace. The word is believed to have originated in 7000 BC, as the first documented use of the word fretius written in a Hepi principles book. It was originally used as word to hold a discussion between the other tribes, in order to establish peace and stability. Fretius was also mentioned in multiple pieces of Hepi literature talking about Zygoti, the god of love and peace.
