Zephyrus officially the Kingdom of Zephyrus (Flemish: Koninkrijk Zefirië, Zephyrian: Zépiriuxe Royealeas), is a federal monarchy located in North-East Internatia. Zephyrus is a landlocked country encircled by Monteverde to the north, east and south and by Edoriada to the west. Zephyrus covers an area of 33,139 square kilometres, and it has a population of about 2.6 million people. The main colours of this country are green and silver, and the national languages are Flemish and Zephyrian. Zephyrus is home to two main linguistic groups: the Flemish-speaking (which constitutes about 65% of the population), and the Zephyrian-speaking, mostly Green-Eastern population (which comprises 35% of all Zephyrians). The capital city is Dramaskus, which is bilingual.

Etymology

The name Zephyrus is derived from Zefirië, the official name used in the Flemish language. The word "Zefier" means "A cold and light breeze blowing from the west." An old myth tells that this breeze blew when the Zephyrian people conquered the land and thus has given the west landside of Zephyrus their silver color, while the west side could held their original green color because of the mountain Montè Boréalisse that separates the west side from the east side.

History

The land belonged for some time to two other nations. At first, there was Karuex and Qargering which settled in the unclaimed country in June 2013 and participated once in Internatia Song Contest in 12th edition, but they never managed to vote in the Semi-Final, so they withdrew and disappeared mysteriously. Karuex and Qargering was succeeded by Nouvelle-Acadie
