The Federal Republic of Aequinnia (formal title) is a federation of twenty-four states located on large islands in the Delian Ocean. The nation was originally settled by colonists from Aequitum in the mid-eighteenth century. The tropical islands were, at the time, inhabited by native peoples who generally have generally coexisted in peace with the white settlers since their arrival. The three main islands (Ossett, Sheppey and New Man) were covered with tropical forests, which today are mostly farm and grazing land. Rolling hills and sprawling plains characterize the landscape in the countryside. Aequinnia's natural resources include coal and iron deposits, along with offshore oil pockets, and limited levels of diamonds in the larger mountains. The population of the country today is overwhelmingly composed of those descended from the original settlers. A small but substantial minority are the native peoples, and a tiny (but rapidly expanding) group are immigrants from other nations of the world.
The country today is considered a first-world nation with a reliable democratic process. Since the overthrow of colonial rule in 1834, the nation has been a republic which has never been replaced. People are free to express themselves in just about any way they please, as any kind of government action in the area of speech is viewed with great distrust among the populace. Aequinnia faces multiple long-term challenges to its heritage and philosophy. The prospect of a globalized world and mass migrations of immigrants challenge the nation's long-held isolationist and small-government beliefs.
