The Imperial Autocracy of Uhuh-Topia is a nation in Uhuhland, bordered by Uhuh-Ropa, the enclave San Adriano near the Uhuh-Ropean border, the inland Sea of Uhuh and the Ropatopian Sea. Part of the Gnatanamo peninsula has been leased to the People's Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia but it remains territory of Uhuh-Topia.

History
Full article: History of Uhuh-Topia and Uhuh-Ropa
The origin of Uhuh-Topia lies in the Ropa-Topian Empire (RTE), one of the first great civilisations in Uhuhland, but there is almost no historical material about the period between the fall of the RTE and the early 1600s, so this is merely speculation.
The empire of Uhuh-Topia was founded in 1723 when Delmer the Conqueror conquered several small nations in Uhuhland and added them to his expanding empire. Under the reign of Delmer II the Uhuh-Topian Empire grew even further, but since then the nation hasn't had any major changes until the First Ropa-Topian War in 1910. When the war ended in 1917, the independent Kingdom of Uhuh-Ropa was established, but relations between the two nations haven't been peaceful until the end of the Second Ropa-Topian War in 1934.

The Uhuh-Topian flag consists of a horizontal blue stripe across a vertical red stripe on a white background. A phoenix in the center overlaps both stripes. The red symbolizes the (blood of the) people of Uhuh-Topia (and the former Ropa-Topian Empire), and the blue symbolizes the rivers and sea. The phoenix is Uhuh-Topia's national animal.
