Rustia

Rustia is a sovereign state located on the eastern part of the fictional continent of Eldoria. It has a temperate climate and varied topography, ranging from coastal plains to highland plateaus. Rustia is governed as a constitutional parliamentary republic. The capital and largest city is Aurelia, with major urban centers including Porthaven and Glinton.

Geographically, Rustia covers about 120,000 square kilometers. It borders the Varin Sea to the east, the Rusten Highlands to the north, and the Hintermere lowlands to the south. The interior features river valleys, dense forests, and rolling plateaus. Coastal areas support ports and fisheries, while highland regions host hydropower facilities.

Governance is headed by a president with largely ceremonial duties and a prime minister who leads the government. The unicameral Assembly of Rustia (120 seats) is elected every four years, and a judiciary operates independently, with the Supreme Court serving as the final appellate court.

Historically, Rustia was inhabited by the Rusti peoples and developed a centralized state during the medieval era. It attained de facto independence in the early modern period and joined the Eldorian Union in 1945. Since the late 20th century, Rustia has pursued political pluralism and economic modernization.

Rustia has a population of about 6.8 million. The official language is Rustian; Eldari and other minority languages are spoken among communities. The economy is diversified, with services, manufacturing, and agriculture. Major exports include machinery, timber, and agricultural products; the currency is the Rustian mark (RM).
