Kabaso

Kabaso (pronounced kuh-boh-so), also spelled Kaboso, officially the Nation of Kabaso (Spanish: Nación de Kabaso; Kabason Creole: Nicion do Kábaso) is a country that is mostly located in Western Europe, with an island in the Caribbean. It is bordered by France to the east and Spain to the south. The capital city of Kabaso is Goldston City. The state consists of 22 provinces.

Humans have settled in Kaboso since prehistoric times, and an independent Kabason state was created in September 1157. In 1492, the Spaniards had arrived to Kabaso and colonized 3/10 of its land. Later in 1634, the English arrived and colonized 5/7 of the land. In 1721, the newly-formed Russian Empire conquered the remaining 2/10 of the territory. After 468 years of colonial rule, the country was granted independence on 23 November 1960, with the British-ruled Caribbean island of Saint Matthew being transferred in 1962 as part of an agreement between the Kabason citizens and the British. The Soviet-controlled autonomous republics of Klatlov and Altaysk were also transferred to Kabaso in 1967. In 1969, as a result of the North Kabason War of Independence, the country was split up into two states, the partially-recognized Socialist Republic of Kabaso, and the internationally-recognized Commonwealth of Kabaso. After the end of the Cold War, the two states were reunified in 1995. The constitution was amended to end its status as a Commonwealth realm, replacing the British monarch with its own. The country's official name was also changed from the Commonwealth of Kabaso to the Nation of Kabaso.

Kabaso is a developed country with a high-income economy. It ranks 56th on the Human Development Index. It is a secular parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, with Maria VI as its sovereign head of state. It is a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and the European Union.
