The Country
The Most Serene Republic of Bettia was formed as a breakaway republic from it's former oppressors. It further broke away when the government took the bold step of transporting the entire country from its former landlocked location to a cluster of islands knows as Atlantian Oceania, mainly for footballing reasons but also because the president fancied a bit more sunshine in his back garden.
The country is split into five counties - Gabalfa in the centre, Clodien in the south, Banastra in the East, Maghrib in the west, and Gogledd in the north.
The People
The vast majority of Bettians (around 93%) follow Islam, and have a reputation for being kind, charitible and a little bit eccentric. The main language is Bettian (which looks and sounds remarkably like English), with Arabic and Welsh also spoken in certain parts of the country.
The remaining 7% is made up of Jews and Buddhists, mainly refugees fleeing religious persecution some years ago and subsequently welcomed into Bettian society.
Of all the things that unites the Bettian people, it is sport (and in particular, football) which brings them together the most. Bettians are almost legendarily sports-mad, and this mania was certainly helped along when the Bettian national football team won their debut international competition, walking away with the Baptism of Fire Cup with a thumping 7-0 win in the final.
