The Republic of Al'sawayid-Illa Sousania (Arabic: الساڢاييد, Latin: Illa Sousania, IPA: elˈsəvaɪ͜ɪd iːlə səsanˈjə) commonly shortened to Alsavaeid, was a sovereign state in northeastern Theia that nowadays persists as one of the member Republics of the Theian Federation. It was founded by Yatan colonists primarily from Aparty, it is a cosmopolitan nation of Arab, Osanian, mixed European and indigenous Theian influences. The state is dominated by its capital and largest city - Alsavaeid City. The country occupied a significant part of the Sousania peninsula, as well as the islands of Isolaviola (Volhi Akbar) and Nova Carniola (Volhi Aqalu), and the remote archipelago of Isolacarne.
Alsavaeid, much like the rest of the Sousania region, was only sparsely populated by Theian natives. The relative isolation from the rest of the continental landmass, especially due to the anomalously large estuary of the Savalon river, has been long considered by theographers as a reason for this. Alsavaeid's only land neighbour was Sousania to the southwest, and to the south is terra nullius.
Alsavaeid was a multi-ethnic state divided into three sociopolitical regions and two cultural regions: Alarabiy, and the Latinate, as well as the Insulari. These two regions follow the rough borders of initial claims on Sousania from Arab and European groups respectively. These two regions are culturally divided, with the Latinate speaking the official minority languages of French, Italian and Spanish, and Alarabiy speaking the official language, which is Arabic. Other than atheism, the most practiced religion in the Latinate is Catholicism whereas in Alarabiy it is Islam. Although the constitution of the state describes the two regions as "nations", "countries", or even "constituent states", the two are governed under one unitary state, and despite Alarabiy forming nearly 95% of the land area, the two nations are social cultural, and political equals.
Alsavaeid was divided into 26 provinces, 3 special cities, 2 territories, and one special territory. Nearly the entire southern border is constituted by the Alsavaeid Borderland special territory - a militarised, largely uninhabited exclusion zone between Alsavaeid and the wilderness to the south. 21 provinces and all the territories belong to the Alarabiy cultural zone, whereas five provinces (namely Pedes-Mons, Secundus, Insula Sousania, Isolaviola and Nova Carniola) belong to the Latinate. Isolaviola and Nova Carniola, along with the unincorporated territory of Isolacarne southeast of Orientalis, additionally formed the Insulari unit.
Alsavaeid was one of the most developed countries in the world, and is consistently ranked as one of the most globalised out of both Theian and Yatan countries. Mainly thanks to this and their status as one of its founders, they were selected to be the home of the capital of the Theian Federation in Alsavaeid City.
Government
Alsavaeid was a parliamentary democracy with a elected president. The legislature, known as the Parliament was also elected by the people of the nation.
The Social Democratic Party was currently dominant in the legislature, holding a slight majority of seats.
History
Alsavaeid was founded in 254 by Arab colonists, primarily from Hayah and Aparty, and European colonists, primarily from Yetia. The colonists formed a democratic society, which initially was under the nearby Osania's protection under Alsavaeid was able to start its own military.
In May 435 Alsavaeid became one of the founding states of the Theian Federation, becoming home to its capital despite being located so far to the east.
