Baixa Roma, officially the State of Baixa Roma (Cartadanian: Estado de Baixa Roma), is a state located in south-central Cartadania. It is the 22nd most populous Cartadanian state as well as the ninth-most extensive. With a density of 24.6 people per km2 (63.7 per mi2), it is one of the most sparsely populated states in Cartadania, ranking 28th among the 31 states. The state capital is Sastre, located in the states central valley. Greater Toratto is the most populous urban region, with about 1 million residents, comprising a quarter of the state's population. Toratto is Baixa Roma's most populous city.
Its name is derived from the Roma Region from which it was created, itself named for the Roma River that flows through both it and the state of Alta Roma. Baixa Roma was initially part of the State of Roma, along with Alta Roma, and later the Southern Territory, before its admission to the Union as the 25th state on 10 January 1995. It earned the nickname "The Magnolia State" early in its history due to its large groves of Magnolia trees, and the state was nearly named after the tree for its abundance.
Baixa Roma was so named due to a lack of serious interest in divesting a new name to the area. Because Congress wouldn't allow either state to retain the name Roma, the states divided in agreeance of Alta and Baixa. During the Luson Rebellion, Roma was a region under the direct control of Congress. It became a state amid the chaos and economic upheaval because the congressional leaders who held the most power thought the state's frivolous but fiscally conservative nature would work in their favor. Roma became the eighth state to ratify the first Cartadanian Constitution on 4 May 1683. After the Rebellion, Congress stripped the state of its power temporarily before returning it in 1740. During the early to mid-20th century, the state started to see economic progress as many textile mills and factories were built across the state. Following the Great War, Roma grew as the state's economy continued to diversify. The state's economy in the 21st century is based on management, automotive, finance, manufacturing, aerospace, agribusiness, mineral extraction, healthcare, education, retail, technology, and tourism. Roma's economic diversification would continue into the early 21st century when it was divided into the two current states.
The state borders Alta Roma north, Verona, by only about 4.2 kilometers to the northwest, Catania to the west, and Genova to the west and southwest.
