The Republic of Jezeraah (also known as ROJ) is an island country located at the confluence of the Maccabi River and Lake Morovia.
The main ethnic groups in the Republic are the Jezeri and the Israati.
The capital is Jezeraah City.
Etymology
Jezeraah means "island" in the local dialect, which is derived from a combination of Israati and Babki (essentially a stylized Arabic).
History
Originally established with other communities by settlers that formed the early Free State of Haifa, the island was populated by Babki immigrants fleeing Eura. A large number of immigrants also arrived from Afrikaana, helping to further bolster the population. The island came into conflict with Israati hardliners influenced by Pallisican and Bassarid imperialists. The left-leaning island government favored a more democratic government in Haifa, while hardliners pushed for a more nationalist government. After rigged victories by the hardliners many Jezerans fled north to Elijah's Rest in Natopia, only to return after the collapse of Caputia offered a renewed chance at a free Jezeraah. Currently the country is embroiled in the Haifan Civil War and is fighting the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union, which also claims the island.
Government
The Republic of Jezeraah is a republic with an elected President and a parliamentary Legislative Council headed by a Prime Minister.
Geography
Located at the confluence of Lake Morovia and the Maccabi River, Jezeraah consists of two small islands. The larger island is known as the synonymous Jezeraah, while the smaller island is known as Lazawi (Lazuli/Blue Island). The islands have a small land area but are very densely populated and highly developed. Very little arable land remains, and most of this is located on Lazawi. As such most food products are farmed from aquatic sources, such as fish, shellfish, and rice. At around 40 degrees the area boasts a warm climate with cool but not cold winters. The elevation is relatively low due to it being in a river valley, with the highest peak reaching only 350 meters above sea level.
Jezeraah Island has one major city, Jezeraah City. Several smaller suburbs populate the western reaches of the island. Lazawi has one small city, Azula, located along the northern coast.
Demographics
The country has a total population of 447,296 citizens.
The following was the ethnic breakdown of the country, according to the 2018 census:
- Jezerans: 221,857
- Morovians: 85,611
- Haifans: 97,272
- Afrikaanans: 24,115
- Pallisicans: 18,441
