Sialia (IPA: /siʲɑ:liʲə/, Native language: Sjálâ, IPA: /sʲa:liʲ'a/), officially The Confederation of Sialan Emirates, is a country located due West of Laefevia, in the Dragon Sea, near the Šarkunen peninsula.
Etymology
History
Geography
Geology
Sialia is dominated by its volcanology. Formed by a series of shield volcanoes, it is composed of mainly basaltic rocks which give its cliffs a distinctive black colour. Some areas are still volcanically active, leading to the use of geothermal power in the magmatic fissures (see Energy, below).
Climate
Sialia’s climate varies with wind direction. It has an average temperature range of 10-35°C, with 725-974 mm/yr of rain. If the wind blows from the north or south, the climate is noticeably wetter due to winds over the sea. From east or west, Sialia is sheltered from the worst of the weather, creating a drier climate during the summer.

Imports
Exports
Aside from fishing and tourism (the five volcanoes which make up the islands are incredibly popular with holidaymakers), Sialia’s main export is the Sialian Turkey Crab. The crab tastes of something you have just scraped off your boot and even with proper cooking has the texture of a car tyre, however it is only found off the cliffs of one of the islands and so is incredibly rare, making it a global delicacy and so highly sought after. It was almost fished to extinction in the 1800s, however highly strict rules have since been put in place to protect it and numbers have bounced back.
Transport
Energy
Sialia has pledged completely carbon-neutral in its energy production by 2020, thus creating all of its power from geothermal and wave energy.
