The Democracy of Torisakia is a federal republic consisting of 11 city districts and two small island Gonzalez Isle and Happiness Island. The 11 city districts and islands are located near the Bay Of Biscay between the United Kingdom and France. The country also has five populated and two unpopulated territories in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. At 4.89 million sqaure miles (7.91 million km2) in total and around 220 million people, Torisakia is near one of the largest countries in The Versutian Federation. It is one of the largest integrated nations in the world, with very low racial diversity due to location. The geography and climate of Torisakia is very centralized, sharing many geographic and climatal features with neighboring countries.
The Drondrri people migrated from Scandinavia to what is now Torisakia around 8,000 years ago, with British colonization beginning in the late 16th century. Torisakia emerged from a large British colony that covered half of the land. Post-war England had very little control over Torisakia and soon released them from colonial rule in 1825, after tension built up between colonials and the British. The current Constitution was adopted on July 29, 1825. The first twenty amendments being the Civil Recognition of Rights were ratified in 1827 to guarantee basic civil rights of people within Torisakia.
Torisakia adopted the doctrine of manifest destiny early in the 19th century which resulted in vast exploration of the land which included gaining new territories and discovering rich resources. Torisakia had one of the world's most power economies during the 19th century into the early 20th century. Though managing to stay out of wars, Torisakia's involvement in World War I set their status as a regional military power within neigboring Europe and North America. Torisakia emerged as a global military power following their participation in World War II and became one of the first few countries to obtain nuclear weapons.
Torisakia is a developed country and has one of the world's largest economies, with an estimated GDP in 2013 of 239.4 trillion. The economy is fueled by an abundance of natural gas and oil rigs, along with livestock and processed rubber, and has one of the highest worker productivity with per capita GDP of $37,430.73. Torisakia also has one of the highest mean household income and one of the highest minimmum wages in the world, with roughly 6% of the population living in complete poverty. Torisakia is also one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world, accoutning for 32% of global technology spending.
Etymology
The name "Torisakia" is derived from the native Drondrri language meaning "beautiful landscape". Many conspiracies believe that it was derived from the native Torisakian language, a fixed version of the Drondrri language, where it meant "properous garden". This has been proven false, since the word for "prosperous garden" in native Torisakian is "nrosperoug sardep". However, many languages recognize the native Torisakian theory over the actual origin.
