The New Republic 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 known as the Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands.
History
The Kingdom of the Dysprosian Islands, as was the original name of Saint Eva & Lepland, was originally colonised by settlers from Australia, who were searching for a quieter lifestyle.
Until recently it was an absolute monarchy, but recent events have resulted in the implementation of a government. 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.
On 23 March 2013, the Leplandian government officially recognised Dutch as a minority language.
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.
