Fádalh (Fádallan: Páadtal, /fɐ̀:tɐl/), officially the Republic of Fádalh (Fádallan: whatever), is an island country located off the east coast of Boroso, east of the Fals Empire and south of the Joint Republic of Pthalk. With 9,870 residents in an approximately 365 square-kilometre (140.93 sq mi) area, Fádalh is both one of the smallest nations in terms of population and one of the smallest nations by land area.
Originally settled by colonists from the Great Dhweran Empire in 1215, Fádalh first gained independence in 1233, following the Great Dhweran Empire's collapse. Fádalh was left mostly undisturbed for the next 180 years. Towards the turn of the 1600s, Letzia began claiming a series of colonies along the east coast of Boroso, including annexing Fádalh. Largely unable to defend against Letzia, Fádalh remained under their control until 1853, when the uniting of the Fals Empire resulted in Letzia being largely driven out of Khaazland and their influence in east Boroso being weakened. In 1861, Fádalh declared independence from Letzia and has remained independent since.
Fádalh, though commonly referred to as a single island, is in fact a collection of small islands of volcanic origin. The volcanoes that formed Fádalh are extinct, and are estimated to have last erupted 200,000 to 60,000 years ago. However, the volanoes are still present in the form of numerous thermal springs scattered across the islands and in the surrounding waters. The springs, fed mainly by seawater, are high in salt and other mineral content, resulting in colourful deposits forming around them.
