The Republic of Noronica (also called Noronica, or T.R.N.) is a Dictatorship comprising of ten provinces and one major city province. The country is situated in the region of the Republic of Rome.
With an estimated land area of 36,930,832 square miles, and an estimated GDP of n198 trillion, the Republic of Noronica is a very sizeable nation and has a largely efficient economy. Due to a period of apartheid before Republic status, the ethnic diversity in Noronica is low however, in recent wars with neighbouring countries, refugee numbers have grown. The geography and climate of the Republic of Noronica is also extremely diverse, and it is home to the nation's national animal, the Great White Shark. During the Great War of Noronica in 1982, a strain of 'land shark', (also known as Derius Nortum) was accidentally created during the creation of chemical weaponry and it was released on the Great White Sharks in the sea around Noronica. The infected began getting less aggressive and they grew legs, eventually developing a domestic manner.
The current Constitution of Noronica was written and implemented by the Founder and first Head of State, Overlord Bob, in 1991, which increases the powers of the Head of State and grants considerable powers to the nation's Government, located in the capital city of Nolon. The Republic of Noronica Rights Pact was developed three months later, giving the civillians of Noronica many rights and a say in politics. However, Overlord Bob is officially recognised as a dictator and therefore retains most of the power for himself. Overlord Bob will serve as Head of State for the Republic until his death or abdication, whereupon an election will be held for the new Head of State.
The Republic of Noronica is an MEDC and in recent years the Republic of Noronica's economy has blossomed, and now the economic powerhouse is lead by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming.
With a military budget of t14.92 trillion, the Republic of Noronica is able to project considerable power, and has a variety of technically accomplished, well-funded army, navy, air force. This budget has also allowed the construction of over 10,000 hydrogen missiles and many other weapons of mass destruction. The Head of State, Overlord Bob, has the sole control over Nuclear strikes and has had to take the decision recently with the war between Noronica and Brazilistan where two nuclear missiles were fired.

Origin
On the 24th of November 1468, a Donglish army on the return from a recent battle found a stretch of land that was perfect for them to set up camp. Lore and stories suggest that while the army was sleeping, the leaders were visited by an apparition called the Lady of the Tree. She showed them visions of the future that contained Noronica's prosperity. They decided to then found the country where there camp was and they began building a town now known as Nolon. While most of the story is true, scientists claim that the army were next to a tree that releases a drug that is hallucinogenic. Further research went into this theory and the tree from which the woman appeared didn't seem to release hallucinogens on first investigations but the theory is very popular.
After the army built the town, a leader was elected by the people. His name was Jerrica Nomflop. He ruled the town with a fair hand and brought many years of prosperity into the land, building many more towns and soon a wall was erected all around the country. Noronica was named after Nolon was made a city and the leaders all decided on a name for the country. Noronica, (Noron-icka)
