Zostas (IPA: /zostas/, Native language: Zostíž, IPA: /zostiʒ/), officially the Most Serene Republic of Zostas, is an island country and archipelago located in the Paršita Sea. Situated off the coast of Ekuosia, it shares sea borders with Veridia to the east and Rosland to the south. Zostas' territory consists of three large islands and a multitude of islets.
Historically linked to mainland Ekuosia, Zostas was one of the first territories to fall under the rule of the Letsatian Empire, becoming an integral part of it and one of its successor states, East Letsatia, until its collapse at the turn of the first millenium. The maritime republic of Zostas emerged during this time, where it would go on to rule for centuries over a large and rich trade empire. Falling under Letzi and later Veridian dominion during the 19th century, the republic regained its independence in 1951.
