The Confederate States of Bostopia is a semi-democratic Monarchy in the United Free Republics, with a population of 2.301 Billion people. Bostopia is comprised of two main islands, East Isle and West Isle, and also the Bostopian Arbad Islands, which lie around 1000 miles off the west coast of West Isle. The Arbad Islands are shared with Vladmiristak. Bostopia is known throughout the UFR for being the only country where the fabled 'Geesemonkey' may inhabit successfully, due to the large open spaces set aside for Geesemonkies.
Bostopia is a twin-cultural country, with Laquarists in the centre-west of East Isle holding onto their cultural background, and language, which is closely related to that of Old English. Overall, however, the Bostopian culture takes precedence over many aspects of life. Bostopians are not open to change, so Bostopia holds it's historic values to heart.

Independence: Bostopia has been independent since it was first settled over 1,500 years ago. Fort Boston was established as a homestead with barracks within 5 years of settlement, becoming the first permanent settlement in Bostopia. Colonisation of West Isle began 1,300 years ago, even though it had been sighted since the beginning of colonisation in the East Isle. However, early settlers believed Mount Bostopia's peak (the only part visable from a distance due to cloud cover) was where their gods resided, so they dared not step on the land. Laquar was settled by peoples from the south of Bostopia, with some people stating they may be related to the ancestors of Outer Sygonians. Laquar's independence was a major issue for Bostopia, who finally managed to incorporate Laquar into part of Bostopia as a semi-autonomous region earlier this year.
