Gabolonia (Gabolonian: gAvolOn gǎwolǒn [ˈgɑʋəlɒn]), officially the Republic of Gabolonia, is a country in northeastern Ystel. It is landlocked, located in the lower Renian Mountains, bordered by Tullachia and Hranloc to the north, Stratavar to the south, Saant to the southeast, and the partially-recognised state of Upper Stratavar to the east. With a land area of 13,756 square kilometres (5,311 sq mi), Gabolonia has a dry hot-summer continental climate. According to the 2018 Tullach census, Gabolonia has a population of 32,660, with Tukariw serving as both the capital and largest city.
Gabolonia's cultural identity began to take shape in the XXth century with the migration of Stratatvite-speaking people further north in the Renian mountain range. Gabolonian sovereignty and nationhood, however, emerged during the existence of the Kingdom of Gabolonia and Stratavar until its breakup during the Tetrification.
The nation then formed part of the Tullach Chieftaincies under the name of Gabolon until its sudden political collapse on February 2nd 2024, when the Gabolonian Regional Council, with the support of the separatist Rocnaian-led Rebirth Party and the Tullachian government, passed a law absolving itself from the union. Gabolonia is the only nation of the eight newly emerging countries not to be involved in any international territorial disputes.
