Bubblique, officially the Princessipality of Bubblique, is a sovereign state, located in Eastern Internatia. It is a landlocked country. Bubblique has a population of 5,726,398 inhabitants otherwise known as “Bubbles”. It is bordered by Pebbleland, Edoriada and Zephyrus to the west, Valdron and Kaledonii to the south, Caprika, Luzze and Hanzyuki to the east, and Tikata to the north. The country's capital is Burbuja, and its largest city is Bulle, which is located on the western side of Bubblique. The country comprises 72 provinces.
Bubblique's geography is diverse, with the Northern Highland and Western Upland along with a part of the Central Plain occupying the western part of the country and lowlands stretching to the borders of Caprika, Luzze and Hanzyuki, in which lies the Great Lake Luna. Bubblique has a second Great Lake to the North called Lake Khaleesi.
Bubblique is known as "Internatia's Candyland" because it is one of the nation's leading sugar producers, particularly famous for ice cream. Manufacturing and tourism are also major contributors to the country's economy.
Etymology
The word Bubblique originates from the name given to the Bubblique River by one of the English-speaking Internatian Native groups living in the region at the time of outsider contact. French-speaking explorers were the first to reach the Bubblique River. This name was later corrupted to Bullique by other French-speaking explorers, and over time this became the French name for both the Bubblique River and the surrounding lands. English speakers anglicized the spelling to its modern form when they began to arrive in greater numbers. The current spelling was made official by the legislature of Bubblique Territory.
The English word for Bubblique and its original meaning have both grown obscure. Interpretations vary, but most implicate the river and the huge amount of bubbles that appear at its banks. One leading theory holds that the name originated from the Middle Dutch word "bobbel" of onomatopoeic origin, a reference to the bubbles popping at the river banks. Other theories include claims that the name is related to the monarchy in Bubblique loving the word "Bubble".
History
Bubblique has been home to a wide variety of cultures over the past 12,000 years. The first people arrived around 10,000 BCE during the Bubblique Glaciation. These early inhabitants, called Paleo-Indians, hunted now-extinct ice age animals exemplified by the Boaz mastodon, a prehistoric mastodon skeleton unearthed along with spear points in southwest Bubblique. After the ice age ended around 8000 BCE, people lived by hunting, fishing, and gathering food from wild plants. Agricultural societies emerged gradually over the Woodland period between 1000 BCE to 1000 CE. Toward the end of this period, Bubblique was the heartland of the "Sparkly Unicorn", which discovered thousands of sparkly unicorns across the landscape. Later, between 1000 and 1500 CE, the Sunettian and Territrian cultures built substantial settlements including the fortified village at Cittàgazze in southeast Bubblique.
The first Internatian to visit what became Bubblique was probably a French-speaking explorer. He/She canoed west from Kosma Bay through the Great Lakes, and it is traditionally assumed that he/she came ashore near Bublina at Pink Banks. The explorers kept visiting Bublina, where they traded for fur with the locals. The explorers explored all of Bubblique's Waterways all the way to the Territrian River near Bulabula. French-speaking people continued to ply the fur trade across Bubblique through the 17th and 18th centuries, but the French speakers made no permanent settlements in Bubblique before Tonallan won control of the region following the War. Even so, French-speakers continued to work in the region after the war, and some, now settled in Bubblique permanently rather than returning to Pebbleland-controlled Taskvenny.
Bubblique became a territorial possession of Internatia in after a Revolutionary War. However, Tonallan remained in control until after the War of 1812, the outcome of which finally established a Spanish presence in the area. Under Internatian control, the economy of the territory shifted from fur trading to lead mining. The prospect of easy mineral wealth drew immigrants from throughout Internatia to the lead deposits located at Kupla, Bubblique and nearby areas. Some miners found shelter in the holts along the riverbanks they had dug and earned the nickname "otters" leading to Bubblique's identity as the "Otter Country".
Politics in early Bubblique were defined by the greater national debate over monarchies. A free state from its foundation, Bubblique became a center of attention when a monarchy was formed. The debate became especially intense after Ariana Rose was crowned queen and her husband, Lucius Bauer was crowned King. Ariana Rose helped slaves be free in Bubblique after many trials. She was able to declare the Fugitive Slave Law unconstitutional. And her family, The Rosenbauer's, was looked at as heroes and became the monarchy family of Bubblique.
Bubblique's economy also diversified during the early years. While lead mining diminished, agriculture became a principal occupation in the southern half of the country. Railroads were built across the country to help transport grains to market, and industries were founded to build agricultural equipment. Bubblique briefly became one of the world's leading producers of wheat during this time. Meanwhile, the lumber industry dominated in the heavily forested northern sections of Bubblique, and sawmills sprang up in all major cities like Afrizo, Bobelo, and Borrel. These economic activities had dire environmental consequences. By the close of the 19th century, intensive agriculture had devastated soil fertility, and lumbering had deforested most of the state.[25] These conditions forced both wheat agriculture and the lumber industry into a precipitous decline, and the planting and preservation of Bubblique's forests started.
Beginning in the 1890s, farmers in Bubblique shifted from wheat to dairy/sugar production in order to make more sustainable and profitable use of their land. Many Bubbles carried ice cream-making traditions that helped the state build a reputation as "Internatia's Candyland." Meanwhile, conservationists helped reestablish the country's forests during the early 20th century, paving the way for a more renewable lumber and paper milling industry as well as promoting recreational tourism in the northern woodlands. Manufacturing also boomed in Bubbliqe during the early 20th century. Industries in cities like Bulle ranged from brewing and food processing to heavy machine production and toolmaking, leading Bubblique to rank 8th among Internatian states in total product value by 1910. The country's economy also underwent further transformations towards the close of the 20th century, as heavy industry and manufacturing declined in favor of a service economy based on medicine, education, agribusiness, and tourism.
Geography
Bubblique is bordered by the Narcissus River; Lake Luna and Khaleesi to the north; by Lake Luna to the east; It is bordered by Pebbleland, Edoriada and Zephyrus to the west, Valdron and Kaledonii to the south, Caprika, Luzze and Hanzyuki to the east, and Tikata to the north. A border dispute with Luzze was settled by two cases, both Bubblique v. Luzze, in 1934 and 1935. The country's boundaries include the Bubblique River and Pinkwater Rush River in the west, and the The Rogue Princess River in the northeast.
With its location between the Great Lakes and the Bubblique River, Bubblique is home to a wide variety of geographical features. The country is divided into five distinct regions. In the north, the Lake Khaleesi Lowland occupies a belt of land along Lake Khaleesi. Just to the south, the Northern Highland has massive mixed hardwood and coniferous forests including the 1,500,000 acres (6,100 km2) Champagne National Forest, as well as thousands of glacial lakes, and the country's highest point, Timber Hill. In the middle of the country, the Central Plain has some unique sandstone formations like the banks of the Pinkwater Rush River in addition to rich farmland. The Eastern Ridges and Lowlands region in the southeast is home to many of Bubblique's largest cities. The ridges include the Olive Escarpment. The bedrock of the Olive Escarpment is dolomite, while the two shorter ridges have limestone bedrock. In the southwest, the Western Upland is a rugged landscape with a mix of forest and farmland, including many bluffs on the Bubblique River. This region is part of the Driftless Area, which also includes portions of Kaledonii, Edoriada, Valdron, Pebbleland and Zephyrus. This area was not covered by glaciers during the most recent ice age, the Bubblique Glaciation.
Overall, 64% of Bubblique's land area is covered by forest. Lagrima Province has a soil rarely found outside of the county called Jeret Silt Loam.
Areas under the management of the National Park Service include the following:
-Les rives du lac des îles apôtres along Lake Khaleesi
-Edad de hielo camino escénico nacional
-Landschappelijke spoor van het noorderland.
-Bubblique National Scenic Riverway
There is one national forest managed by the Bubblique Forest Service, Champagne National Forest.
Bubblique has sister-country relationships with Territrius, Keohretcha, Kaeros Islands, Sunetti, and Irdminia.

Demographics
The Bubblique Census Bureau estimates that the population of Bubblique was 5,742,713 on July 1, 2014, a 1.0% increase since the 2010 Census.
Since its founding, Bubblique has been ethnically heterogeneous. Following the period of French-speaking fur traders (known as the original Bubbles), the first wave of settlers were miners, many of whom were Territrian, who settled the southwestern area of the country. The next wave was dominated by Kaministiquian migrants descent from Kaministiquia; they dominated the country's heavy industry, finance, politics and education. Between 1850 and 1900, large numbers of other internatian immigrants followed them, including the countries of: Pebbleland and Kaledonii, and smaller groups from Zephyrus, Nicolas' Neighbour, Aonach, Kosma, Eriod, Irdminia, Sanlyona, and others. In the 20th century, large numbers of immigrants from Tonallan and Kaeros Islands came, settling mainly in Bulle; and after that came an influx of immigrants from DPR Jindalea.
According to the 2014 Census, the racial composition of the population was:
86.2% White Bubbles 6.3% Black Islanders 1.0% Native Bubbles 2.3% Jindalean Bubbles 1.8% Multiracial Bubbles 2.4% Other race Bubbles
The six largest ancestry groups for non-Bubblique natives in Bubblique are from: Territrius (42.6%), Kaministiquia (10.9%), Irdminia (9.3%), Kaledonii (8.5%), Pebbleland (6.5%), and Zephyrus (6.1%). Territrian is the most common ancestry in every province in the country, except the provinces of Mallory, Tiberius and Viserys. Bubblique has the highest percentage of residents of Irdminian ancestry of any country (besides Irdminia). The various ethnic groups settled in different areas of the country. Although Territrians settled throughout the country, the largest concentration was in Burbuja. Kaledoniians settled in lumbering and farming areas in the north and west. Small colonies of Zephyrians, Aonians, Kosmanauts and other groups settled in their particular areas, with Eriodians, Sanlyonians, and Irdminian immigrants settling primarily in urban areas. Kaeros Islanders came to Burbuja, especially from 1940 on.

Residents of Bubblique are referred to as Bubbles or Bubbliquians. The traditional prominence of references to sugar farming and ice cream making in Bubblique's rural economy (the country's license plates have read "Internatia's Candyland" since 1940) have led to the nickname (sometimes used pejoratively among non-residents) of "sweet tarts".
Numerous ethnic festivals are held throughout Bubblique to celebrate the heritage of its citizens. Such festivals include Bubblefest, Pebblefest, Irdminian Fest, Festa Sanlyona, Eriod Fest, Territrian Days, Kaledonii Day, Sunfest (to honor Sunetti), Jindalean Days, Kaeros Festival, Kaministiquian Summerfest, Style Fest, and many others.
