The New Republic of '''Saint Eva & Lepland''' is a country which participates in the Internatia Song Contest. It was formerly known as the Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands. It is an island group located in the Aeternum Ocean in northern Internatia, and its closest neighbours are Dulcet Ebullience, Irlandia, and Sunetti.
The Northern Kingdom of '''Saint Eva & Lepland''' is an island country located in the Aeternum Ocean in northern Internatia, and its closest neighbours are Carpathia, Dulcet Ebullience, Sunetti and Irlandia. It was formerly a territory of the Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands, but achieved independence after a revolution.


==History==
==Geography==
The Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands, as was the original name of Saint Eva & Lepland, was originally colonised by settlers from another continent. Until recently it was an absolute monarchy, but recent events have resulted in the implementation of a government (as well as the gift of Loran Island to the nation of Косма). Since the change, the economy of the country has been failing, up until the discovery of natural resources in the form of gemstones and precious metals on Saint Eva. This resulted in the establishment of the town of New Hope as a home for miners and their families, and it is believed that the discovery will revitalise the economy of Saint Eva & Lepland.
The islands are located in the Aeturnum Ocean. Lepland was the first island to be colonised by settlers, and three towns exist on the hilly island. Forests are present at both ends of the island. Until recently St. Eva was uninhabited, but explorers found deposits of gold and other precious metals and gems in the Heartache Mountains near Lake Arcanium.


==Internatia Song Contest==
Cars are banned in Saint Eva & Lepland, in an effort to minimise the country's carbon footprint. A monorail system extends between the three main cities on Lepland, and ferries can be booked to cross between Lepland and Saint Eva. Majority of transport into and out of the country is via Woodchester Airport, as the Aeturnum Ocean tends to be rough sailing.


===As Dysprosia===
==Early history==
Saint Eva was first sighted by Kosmanaut explorers in the early 18th Century. However, they approached from the east, and discovered impassible rock formations and whirlpools. More of the same was discovered to the south, so they gave up on the islands as inaccessible and continued south.

Famed Dysprosian explorer Emily Woods was exploring the region some years later. They approached the uninhabited islands from the north, and made landfall at what would eventually become Woodchester. The island was claimed as territory of the Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands.

===As Saint Eva & Lepland===
The territory was named Lepland, after the large amount of butterflies that inhabited the area (order Lepidoptera) - the Internatian Butterfly House is located in modern day Woodchester. Another nearby island was originally called Orange Island, after the monarch butterflies that were especially present on this island, but the name has been corrupted into Loran Island. Another larger island was soon discovered, and named after the Dysprosian Saint Eva, patron saint of explorers.

==Island Voices==
Queen Candice Wheeler was assassinated by a terrorist group, the Scarlet Hand, in 2015. As she had no children, she was succeeded by her newlywed husband Daniel Redman as monarch.
Saint Eva & Lepland's song for the third and fourth editions of ISC were chosen through the preselection Island Voices. Each edition of Island Voices had 10 songs participating. The artist and song that won Island Voices represented Saint Eva & Lepland at the next edition of ISC, with the second- and third-placing artists receiving a wildcard to the next edition of Island Voices. Due to SBC budget cuts, Island Voices was not used to select the Leplandian entries for the fifth and sixth editions of the Internatia Song Contest, with these entries being chosen by internal selection.
 
The national final was reintroduced on a smaller scale starting with the seventh edition of ISC, in which six songs would participate and only the runner-up would receive a wild card to the next edition of Island Voices.

The Northern Kingdom of Saint Eva & Lepland is an island country located in the Aeternum Ocean in northern Internatia, and its closest neighbours are Carpathia, Dulcet Ebullience, Sunetti and Irlandia. It was formerly a territory of the Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands, but achieved independence after a revolution.

Geography

The islands are located in the Aeturnum Ocean. Lepland was the first island to be colonised by settlers, and three towns exist on the hilly island. Forests are present at both ends of the island. Until recently St. Eva was uninhabited, but explorers found deposits of gold and other precious metals and gems in the Heartache Mountains near Lake Arcanium.

Cars are banned in Saint Eva & Lepland, in an effort to minimise the country's carbon footprint. A monorail system extends between the three main cities on Lepland, and ferries can be booked to cross between Lepland and Saint Eva. Majority of transport into and out of the country is via Woodchester Airport, as the Aeturnum Ocean tends to be rough sailing.

Early history

Saint Eva was first sighted by Kosmanaut explorers in the early 18th Century. However, they approached from the east, and discovered impassible rock formations and whirlpools. More of the same was discovered to the south, so they gave up on the islands as inaccessible and continued south.

Famed Dysprosian explorer Emily Woods was exploring the region some years later. They approached the uninhabited islands from the north, and made landfall at what would eventually become Woodchester. The island was claimed as territory of the Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands.

The territory was named Lepland, after the large amount of butterflies that inhabited the area (order Lepidoptera) - the Internatian Butterfly House is located in modern day Woodchester. Another nearby island was originally called Orange Island, after the monarch butterflies that were especially present on this island, but the name has been corrupted into Loran Island. Another larger island was soon discovered, and named after the Dysprosian Saint Eva, patron saint of explorers.

Recent History

The New Republic of Saint Eva & Lepland reverted to an absolute monarchy following a referendum.

Queen Candice Wheeler was assassinated by a terrorist group, the Scarlet Hand, in 2015. As she had no children, she was succeeded by her newlywed husband Daniel Redman as monarch.
