Rocnaia (Rocnaian: rokna rocna [ˈɾɒxnə]), officially the Republic of Rocnaia, is a landlocked country located in northern Ystel. It borders Mermelia and Llila and Lufasa to west, Saant to the south, as well as Thraquy and Varencub, though neither of these these are formally recognised by the nation. Through Rocnaia's unrecognise claims over Thraquy, Varencub, Ancorub and Hranloc, the country would also border Tullachia and Gabolonia. It has a population of 254,700. Its capital Volinsco is also the largest city within its administered territory.
Rocnaia gained independence from the Tullach Chieftaincies in 2024, claiming not only the lands of the Tullach region of Rocnaia, but also the entirety of Thraquy, Varencub, Ancorub]] and Hranloc, as these are all Rocnaian-speaking territories all once found within the former Kingdom of Rocnaia. These extra-terratorial claims almost quadruple its land area and triple its population, however they are not recognised by any other member of the International Congress and before a ruling by the Ystelian Community, previously prevented Rocnaia from becomning a member of local international organisations such as the Asuran Economic International Oceanic Union. Additionally, Rocnaia is the country with the most territorial disputes with other countries, with five, Tullachia being the fifth due to the joint Tullaco-Thraquian administration of Cnins and Sercns.
Culture
Language
The only official language is Rocnaian, native to 96% of the population. It is mutually intelligible with its neighbouring Thraquian and Ancoruvite languages.
Recognised minority languages include Tullach, Ohnaucan, Idian and South Jutean, however these populations have been dwindling since nationalist reforms promoted the single use of Rocnaian in public life. Legally, these languages are recognised in wards where the respective minority exceeds 15% of the population. Thraquian minorities are not recognised in Rocnaia; Thraquian speakers in Thraquy are listed as Rocnaian speakers.
