The Kingdom of the Union of Caputia, known colloquially as Caputia, is a sovereign country in the continent of Keltia, with overseas possessions in Apollonia, Eura and Cibola. On Keltia, Caputia shares a border with the High Realm of Stormark and with the Greater Pallisican Trade Association. On Apollonia, Caputia shares a border with Jingdao. On Cibola, it shares a border with Treisenberg and Natopia. Caputia is the official successor state of the now defunct Commonwealth of Hamland.
Caputia is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. The monarch is Queen Elizabeth I, who has reigned since the founding of the nation after the end of the Hammish Civil War. The capital of the Caputia and its largest city is Zalae, now the largest and most populous city in the country. Other major urban areas include San Luis, Petrynsk, Keybir-Aviv, Gotfriedplatz, and Monoviaville. Caputia is composed of ten states - Hamland, Bridgemoor (formerly Skjargorod), Wakefield (formerly Scottania and Petrynsk), Northpass (formerly Schoenland), Anglia and Israat, the Isles of Caputia (formerly the Lordship of the Isles), Haifa, San Luis, Monovia, and Neo Patrova. It also has a Royal District for its capital city, the Royal District of Zalae. The largely uninhabited Elizabeth Isle in Eura is a Crown dependency with the Caputian Government directly responsible for its defense and international representation. Elizabeth Isle was ceded to Hamland, Caputia's previous incarnation, by Passio-Corum.
Before the Hammish Civil War, the country experienced a period of relative calm and renowned prosperity, driven by tourism, agriculture, commerce, and banking, with a population of 56,817,299. At the end of the war, Hamland was dissolved and Caputia was created to succeed it, with the new Queen beginning to work on reviving the economy and rebuilding the extensively damaged national infrastructure. In all, it is estimated that over 19 million people people were killed during the war, and another 1,746,000 permanently handicapped by injuries. Approximately 22,000,000 people, representing 38% of the pre-war population, were displaced from their homes, with at least 50% of the displaced resettling permanently elsewhere.
Etymology
The name of Caputia originates from its distant past, as the land it occupies was once part of an ancient nation called Caput Popularis. Use of the term "Caputia" rose from the many rebel groups during the Hammish Civil War, in an effort to differentiate themselves from the National Provisional Authority and the Council of State for the Salvation of Hamland which governed the country during the war.
Occurrences of the name have been found in different ancient texts prior to the founding of Hamland, when tribes of the Green first began referring to the area as "Caputia" as a general term.
