Iguvia

Iguvia is a sovereign island nation in the western Atlantic Ocean. It consists of volcanic islands and coral atolls, with Isla Grande as the largest landmass. The capital and largest city is Port Iguvia. The country covers about 9,000 square kilometers and has a warm tropical climate.

Its modern state arose from a colonial era, attaining full independence in 1837. Since then Iguvia has maintained a stable, multi-party democracy and regular peaceful transfers of power.

Iguvia is a unitary constitutional republic. The president is the head of state and the prime minister is the head of government. The unicameral National Assembly has 62 seats, elected every four years. The legal system is based on civil law with customary law recognized.

The economy is service- and resource-driven. Tourism is the largest sector, centered on beaches, reefs, and nature reserves. Fishing, cocoa and coffee production, and light manufacturing are important. The government promotes renewable energy, especially solar and wind, to diversify power and reduce imports.

As of 2023, Iguvia has about 1.2 million residents. Official languages are Iguvian and Spanish; English is common in business and tourism. The population is diverse, including Creole, Indigenous, Afro-Iguvian, and European communities.

Iguvia maintains several protected areas and marine reserves. The environment features coral reefs, mangroves, and endemic species. Climate change, tropical storms, and coastal erosion pose ongoing challenges.

Transportation relies on Port Iguvia International Airport and regional seaports. A network of roads connects major towns, with ferry services linking the inhabited islands.
