The Incorporated States of Raxtia is a small country of around six million people (28/8/2015 RY [2007 AD]) Located in the North of South America.

History

In late October 2007 there was extreme anger and disquiet in Venezuela's North-Eastern region of Raxtia. The anger was a Hugo Chavez's policies of opposing the United states. By this time, American exports to Venezuela had completely stopped, leading to severe shortages of everything from bullets to coffee. An extremist group known as the Lieration Forces of Raktia, Led by Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, stirred up hatred against the government. This hate had soon spilled over into violence and soon Venezuela was in a full blown civil war. The war dragged on for many years and, in June 2009, engulfed Neighbouring Guyana, which fared much worse than Venezuela, being smaller and less developed. By 2010 Guyana was near to total anarchy and Venezuela had lost it will to fight on, and by March of that year the republics of Raxtia and the Northern Guyanian federation had become independent, ending the war. By August, the Northern Guyanian Federation was already finding the repair bill from the war far too large for it to handle alone, so it was forced to unite with Raxtia.

Geography

Raxtia's grographical landscape is dominated by rainforests. Almost 87% of Raxtia is covered by rainforests, which in recent years has proven to be a hindurance to further development of the nation. Raxtia has no main rivers, but does have several small rivers, used by some of the rainforest tribes that inhabit the South-Eastern Regions. Raxtia has no mountains and is generall a rather flat landscape, although some parts can be hilly.

People and Places

Raxtia's small population of around 6 million is mostly located in the cities and towns of the nation and is mostly descended from European settlers in the area.
Raxtia does, however, have some native peoples, totalling around 0.89% of the population of Raxtia (just over 52,000 people).
Around 80% of Raxtia's population is located in the cities and towns, the largest of which being Neuesville. The Most populated area is the northern province of Altarō, where the capital is located.
The main population centres of Raxtia are:

Neuesville
Located to the South-West of Raxtia, Neuesville is home to just over 1 million people, one-sixth of the population of Raxtia. It is Raxtia's largest city, at 115 square kilometers, and is the financial hub of the nation. Neuesville houses two of Raxtia's best universities and attracts many businesses. From the air it's many skyscrapers make it look a little like New York, thus earning it the nickname of 'Poor Mans Manhatten'.
The city was founded in the 1620's as a Spanish trading post but quickly spread and by 1635 it was home to over 10,000 people, and from there it grew into the metropolis that it is today.

Relekettia
Relekettia is the capital and second-largest city in Raxtia. Home to around 760,000 people it is built on the site of a former native settlement. There are rumours that many older buildings in Relekettia are haunted by the ghosts of natives who were killed during the city's construction.
Relekettia is located to the more populous Altarō area of the country and has generally good links with the rest of the country, as the land surrounding it is generally flat and is not covered by trees, unlike Neuesville.
Formerly one of Raxtia's primary ports, operations were shut down after a series of fatal accidents, culminating in an oil tanker exploding whilst docked, killing 20 and injuring many more. This led to the closing down of the harbours in Relekettia, which are now earmarked for regeneration.
