Republic of Burrasca

Burrasca, officially known as the Republic of Burrasca, is a Southern European island country consisting of several islands 115 miles west of the Greek coast, 375 miles North of the Libyan coast, and 135 miles East of the Italian coast. The country is just shy of 135 square miles with a population of 1.5 million on the main island and 23 million on the Greek mainland, making the mainland island the most densely populated "country" in the world. The Capital is the massive city of Burrasca itself, a densely populated and meticulously organized city that maximizes population density and comfort of its people. Burrasca, since its population is mainly urban and working in some form of business or manufacturing sector, has a balanced mix between Greek and English speakers.

Burrasca's location in the middle of the Mediterranean has historically made it a center for conflict in the many wars and empires that have taken place in the ocean. Its prominence as naval base for civilizations such as the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Moors have rules the islands.

It was a part of Greece until 2025, and even while a part of the country was fiercely independent. During the First Greek Civil War (2024-2027) Burrascan forces abandoned loyalist general Alkiviadis Stefanis after the disastrous defense at the Siege of Patras, where Stefanis' tactical blunders caused the deaths of several Burrascan generals and colonels along with the loss of a large amount of expensive defensive equipment of Burrascan design, heading back to Burrascan waters and land, defending against NATO incursions until the end of the war In 2027. During the Second Greek Civil War (2035-37) Burrasca again butted heads with NATO and Greece, and the Burrascan army exploited large fighting between the rebels in the loyalists in Thessoloniki and surrounding areas to win large chunks of territory in the west area of Greece, and keeping most of the land they took in the war in the treaty that ended it.

Burrasca is a Christian country, with an even split between catholic, protestant, and other religions in the country. it has no official religion, but religion plays a major role in day to day life on the capital island.

The territories gained in the Second Greek Civil war are governed themselves, but the territorial government is heavily influenced by Burrascan corporations which are rumored to have a stranglehold on Burrascan politics on the capital island, though the westernmost four Greek islands gained are close to being officially integrated as provinces.
