The United Republic of Sainterre, commonly known as the United Republic or simply Sainterre is a country located within the International Democratic Union. Situated off the west coast of the International Democratic Union, the United Republic is composed 20 states and a federal district. The capital of the United Republic is Concordia and the largest city is Port Royal. Other major urban areas include Cascadia City, Newport Beach, and New Raleigh.
Prior to Western contact in 1752, Sainterre was composed of a number of tribal nations. Due to the geographical tendencies of Sainterre, the tribes were rarely in contact with each other. The Kingdom of Sainterre was created under the Royal Charter of the Lands of Nation in 1757 following the signing of the Treaty of Fort McCallister which brought the end to the Wars of Independence between the Royalists and the Separatists. The National Assembly elected Fleet Admiral Lord Jacob Varisty as the first King of Sainterre. After the Sainterran Revolution in 1794, the National Assembly severely limited the power of the monarchy under the Grand Constitution and installed revolutionary leader Elizabeth James as the nation's first Prime Minister. Following the Convention of 1985, the Constitution of the United Republic was created, abolishing both the institution of the monarchy and the tyrannical National Assembly. The Constitution of the United Republic set up a form of limited central government with a democratically elected Head of State and Government, the Chancellor, currently Alexander Scott; and a democratically elected bicameral legislature, composed of the House and the Senate.
The United Republic of Sainterre is a country considered to a global cultural hub renowned for its sciences, arts, and devotion to human progress. Its natural landscapes, specifically its mountains and forests draw around 150 million tourists a year. Sainterre is a developed country, ranking highly in GDP and GINI coefficient. Sainterre also ranks highly in life expectancy, education, and health care. Sainterre is a great power in international affairs. Sainterre is a leading member in the International Democratic Union and World Assembly, of which it is a member of both the General Assembly and Security Council. Its delegation is currently represented by Ambassador Chase Connors.

Etymology
"Sainterre" was first used by Admiral Jacob Varisty, after exploring the islands he had discovered in 1745. The name, "Sainterre", comes from the French words, for "holy" and "land", "saint" and "terre", respectively. Before the adoption of the Royal Charter on the Lands of Nation in 1757, Sainterre had many differing names due to the isolated nature of the indigenous people. Such names included Kolobia and Borderia. However, after the Wars of Independence, the name "Sainterre" was included in the Royal Charter and adopted by the National Assembly.
