Originally a territory under the control of the RL United Kingdom, it received its indepedence via the Government of Blanchettia Act of 1921 and its withdrawal from the RL Commonwealth in 1924.

Geography
Blanchettia is on the western edge of the Indochinse peninsula, facing the Indian Ocean. The coastal areas and the northern part of the country are fairly tropical, with rainforests and mangrove swamps mostly covering this land area. Unfortunately, most of the rainforests and mangrove swamps are under threat of deforestation; as a result about 50% of the rainforests and 60% of the mangrove swamps have been, within the last 30 years, designated National Parks. In the central and southern interior, however, the climate changes completely. Along the areas bordering the tropical areas, a Mediterranean-type climate is located here. This area is mostly shrubland and Corsican-style maquis which has often been described as the 'most beautiful area of Blanchettia'. Once you get further away from the border areas the climate is mostly continental with deciduous forest, however, as you get further towards the eastern areas, it gets colder and colder. The area bordering the eastern region is mostly taiga. The eastern areas of Blanchettia are covered mostly in mountains. There are about 12 mountain ranges in Blanchettia alone. Among the more well-known mountain ranges are the Grampian Mountains, the Blue Mountains, and the Snowy Mountains.
Blanchettia has a distinct fauna unlike any other areas in the East Pacific. First off, snow owls and squirrels, although common in most of the East Pacific, are virtually non-exsistent in Blanchettia. The alouette, a native bird and considered to be Blanchettia's national animal, thrives in the country. Penguins are often spotted in the mountain areas of the country. In addition, trees shed their leaves instead of their bark.
