San Isicio, officially the Republic of San Isicio (Spanish: República de San Isicio), is an island country in the Caribbean located between Cuba and Haïti.
The country covers an area of 5,322 square kilometres and consists of the island San Isicio. The island is divided into 5 municipalities which are subject to the government in Cuidad de San Isicio.
The island was discovered by Miguel Della Gracias, a Spanish explorer, in 1672. He named the island after Hesychius of Cazorla, also known as Isicio, a Spanish saint from the 1st century. The island remained uninhabited untill 1744 when it was claimed and colonized by the Spanish Empire. The island was a popular destination for spanish and portuguese-languaged immigrants which forced the colonial government to accept both Spanish and Portuguese as official and recognised languages on the island. San Isicio became independent republic in 1830 after unrest followed by a coup by the local Spanish garrison. The nation remained a military junta untill the 11th of July 1955 when Communist rebels took over and formed a marxist-leninist single-party republic. The military junta was restored on 28 January 2015 after a coup d'état by the president, vice-president and the army, which resulted in the execution of multiple party members and the legalization of private enterprise and religion. The country's economy is dependent from tourism and the archicultural sector, with an emphasis on cacao and sugar.
San Isicio is known for it's legal prostitution and legal softdrugs consumption, making the island a famous tourist attraction. It's also known for it's protected rainforest in the north-east of the country.
