Radia

Radia, officially the Commonwealth of Radia is an overseas incorporated territory of the United Republic, located in mainland southern Crona bordering Pankara to the west, Galicia to the east, and Porlos to the north.

Geography
Radia is situated in between the Diego and Gamboa Rivers, forming the border with Pankara and Galicia respectively. The territory consists of a wide range of climates and terrain, from the humid Mediterranean climate of the coastal plains in and around Radiopolis in the south, to the arid mountainous climate of the Discosian Range that dominates the northeastern border with Porlos.

History
Radia was inhabited by the Cartesian people and their ancestors for several millennia before the arrival of Levantines. During the Age of Exploration, Radia was settled by a mix of Pankarans and Cartadanians from what is now neighboring Galicia and Porlos, leading to the development of a unique society that promoted the acceptance of diversity. Nevertheless, by 1910, the territory was firmly under the control of Pankara, due in large part of the loss of Cartadanian influence in the region, following the independence of both Galicia and Porlos.

Under Panakaran rule, Radia became the country's breadbasket, as its location between the Diego and Gamboa allowed for high harvest yields for a wide range of crops; Most notably wheat and corn. However, the local populace increasingly grew discontent throughout the 20th cnetury, as a result of their unofficial status as second-class citizens, as well as a lack of autonomy in regional affairs and the heavy-handed tactics of the Pankaran Stratocracy. During the Kartejyan War, Radian rebels assisted United Republic forces by sabotaging Pankaran military assets, as well as launching effective hit-and-run attacks against Pankaran patrols and supply convoys. As part of the Treaty of Dawsbury, which ended the war in January 2020, Radia was transferred to and annexed by the United Republic as an autonomous territory.

Its governmental structure and fundamental law are prescribed by the Radia Territorial Charter, promulgated by President Benjamin Ryder and validated by Parliament in 2020.
