Ceylonia, officially the Ceylon Republic (Cartadanian: República Ceilonia), is a sovereign country in southeastern Crona. It is the southernmost country in Crona, located on a mostly flat plain of land. With a land area of 892,458 square kilometers and a population of almost 35 million, Ceylonia shares a land border to the northwest with Tierrador, along with a maritime border to the north with the Cape. Ceylonia's capital, along with its largest city, is Santa Maria, a coastal city located along the Bahía Roja towards the center of the nation. Other major urban areas include Nueva Sierra, East Sačia, Antakee, Canteja, and Saqauwee. Ceylonia is a member of the League of Nations and the CCDO, and contains one of the strongest economies in South Crona, with a nominal GDP of $1.5 trillion.

Throughout its history, Ceylonia's governance was mostly at the helm of other, much more powerful nations. During the 6th to 13th centuries, Ceylonia was a colony of the Qabóri Woqalate, being conquered in 677 AD. This time was relatively unstable for the colony, as the majority of the Ceylon people rejected the Qabóri government's policies. In 1411, members from the Qopakee tribe revolted against Qabór, beginning the Qopakee Wars, which lasted for nearly sixty years. In 1468, the colony was granted its independence from Qabór, under the condition that it become a vassal state, thus creating the Woqalate of Qopakee. The newly-founded vassal state was much more stable and technologically-advanced than the colony, taking a lot of political and economic influence from its former colonial power. The Woqalate lasted for 200 years, until the arrival of Sarpedonian settlers in the late 1600s. In 1701, Ceylonia was officially established as a Cartadanian colony, after settlers raided the Bahía Roja and establishing the city of Santa Maria. Ceylonia's modern history was heavily molded by Cartadanian colonization from the 19th to 20th century. It began with, and was for centuries limited to, coastal settlements and trading posts established starting in the late 17th century along the Sea of Orixtal, though it was considered to be the most important of Cartadania's Cronan continental territories due to its location. Unlike with Porlos in the 19th century, Cartadanian settlers had already established themselves in the interior of Ceylonia during the 18th century as geographic barriers like rivers had already defined neighboring territories, limiting the extent to which the country could grow. Thus, the borders of Ceylonia have remained largely the same since its establishment as a territory in 1704.

Ceylonia has vast mineral and petroleum reserves, and its economy is among the fastest-growing in the world, in part due to foreign investment and economic bolstering from Tierrador, Cartadania and Alstin. Ceylonia is considered a stand-out economy within the region due to its quick advancement throughout the 20th century, in spite of the standard of living remaining low for a large part of the populations of neighboring countries, Ceylonian people enjoy an average standard of living, heavily influenced by powers such as Tierrador and Alstin. In tandem, the life expectancy in Ceylonia is among the highest in the region at 78.2 years. Though its economy is still based rather heavily on agriculture (~26% of the economy), industry is rapidly growing, mainly food and beverages, chemical manufacturing, and aluminum and petroleum production, as well as the tourism sector. The country, though not a part of UNESARP, benefits from the economic output of the union and utilizes its currency, the Real. It is also part of the Community of Lusophone Nations, an international organization representing countries and regions where Cartadanian is a lingua franca or customary language, where a significant proportion of the population are lusophones (Cartadanian speakers), or where there is a notable affiliation with Cartadanian culture.
