Lapody, officially the Kingdom of Lapody, is a country in Levantia. It is neighbored by Rhotia and Urcea to the west and Burgundie to the east. It also borders the League of Nations territory of Alba Concordia.

Lapody is a member of the Levantine Union.

Etymology

"Lapody", derived from "Lapodia", has been in use since antiquity in wide application. The easternmost coastal province of Great Levantia was called "Lapodia Maritima". The province, which encompassed roughly far northern Burgundie and eastern Lapody, was likely named for a tribe of paleo-Levantines living in the region in the 2nd century BC. "Lapodard", the name of the language, is derived from Lapodia/Lapody. The term was also breifly use in some sources to refer to the Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines as a shorthand before "Dericania" entered common use. Lapody as a geographical term fell into sharp decline in the 13th century, being largely survived only by the derivative "Lapodard" name. It was revived in the 20th century as a shorthand to refer to the southern three Deric States.
