Beltinia, officially the Federative Republic of Beltinia is a country in Padroba that shares borders with Briyat, Ceedonia, Gadope, and Hesperia. Its capital and largest city is Akitroi. Other major cities include Sigjung, Yahatari, Edinburgh, and Fogavalu.

Etymology
The origin of the name "Beltinia" is believed to originate from the Old Tularian word "balt" which means "high" or "elevated". The island possesses an abundance of hilly and mountainous terrain.

Prehistory - 1897: Prehistoric Beltinia
Prior to colonial contact, Beltinia was home to several Metropacifican civilizations, mostly the Tularians, Matorans, and Vicnorans. These groups had their own distinct cultures and ways of life, and were organized into small, autonomous communities. They engaged in hunting, fishing, and agriculture, and had developed their own trade networks and social structures.

1897 - 1925: British and French colonization
The British and French colonization of Beltinia between 1897 and 1923 was marked by economic exploitation and political control. The two colonial powers established separate spheres of influence in the country, with the French controlling the southern region and the British controlling the northern region.

The colonial period was characterized by the extraction of natural resources, particularly timber and rubber, from the country. The native people were forced to work in exploitative conditions, and their traditional land use practices were disrupted by the introduction of cash crop plantations.

In addition to economic exploitation, the British and French also exercised political control over Beltinia. They established colonial administrations, which were responsible for governance and law enforcement in their respective spheres of influence. The native people were largely excluded from these institutions, and their traditional systems of governance were undermined.

Despite these challenges, the native people of Beltinia resisted colonial rule through a variety of means, including armed resistance, labor strikes, and political mobilization. These efforts eventually led to the establishment of an independent Beltinian state in 1925.

1923 - 1977: Formation of Beltinia
The State of Beltinia was established on February 20, 1923, following a long struggle for independence from British and French colonial rule. The new state was led by President Luka Lefu, who was elected in the country's first democratic election in 1926.

During its early years, the State of Beltinia faced a number of challenges, including the need to build infrastructure, establish a functioning government, and maintain stability in the face of internal and external threats. Despite these challenges, the country made significant progress in areas such as education, healthcare, and economic development. Throughout its existence, the State of Beltinia maintained close ties with its neighboring countries, including Jörigen, which had also achieved independence from Germany in 1917.

The country also pursued a policy of non-alignment in the international arena, seeking to maintain neutrality in the face of Cold War tensions between the United States and Soviet Union. However, the State of Beltinia also faced internal political instability and social unrest during the 1960s and 1970s. This period was marked by protests, strikes, and demonstrations, as well as government repression and human rights abuses. These tensions eventually led to the overthrow of President Tati Tasana in a military coup on January 8, 1977, bringing an end to the State of Beltinia.
