[hr]

The Kingdom of Zobkhazia, commonly called Zobkhazia, is a constitutional monarchy located in the North American region of the Caribbean. It is bordered on all sides by the Caribbean Sea, but it is located south of the American states of Texas and Louisiana and east of Mexico. Zobkhazia covers 550,766 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 309 Million people. Zobkhazia is divided into 12 districts, 2 autonomous territories (with their own regional languages), and one capital territory which is the nation's capital city, Kingston.

The Zobkhaz Islands were originally inhabited by Native and Indigenous Americans, who set up their own communities in what is now modern-day Zobkhazia, Cuba, and Florida. When the age of European Exploration began, Zobkhazia fell upon the rule of the Spanish Empire. The nation finally won their independence when nationalism surged and erupted into The Zobkhaz Freedom War against Spain, which resulted in a Zobkhaz victory. After WWI, Zobkhazia had made a small empire of their own, which consisted of the Yucatan Peninsula, the island of Hispaniola, and the Leeward Island chain in the Caribbean, however this empire would fall by the early 1950's.

Today, the Kingdom of Zobkhazia is a rather developed nation, with a strong economy worth $17.2 trillion and a GDP per capita of $56,755. The nation also ranks in the top 16% when it comes to Economic Freedom and in the top 5% in Industry jobs like Pizza Delivery and Insurance. In terms of outreach, Zobkhazia is an ally to many, and is even in global organizations and groups such as 10000 Islands and the famed World Assembly.

[b][u][size=150][anchor=Ety]Etymology[/anchor][/b][/u][/size]

The name "Zobkhazia" originates from the "Zob" royal house, the house that has always historically been in control of the nation. The name can also be attributed to Zobkhazia's only river, the River Zöl, which flows through the capital city, Kingston.

The standard way to refer to a citizen of Zobkhazia is as a "Zobkhaz" or "Zobkhazian."

[b][u][size=150][anchor=Hist]History[/anchor][/b][/u][/size]

Zobkhazia was first inhabited by Native American communities who settled down in the island's northern regions and the island's peninsula. Most of these communities were settled right by the River Zöl which helped them survive for centuries. Writings from around the 10th to 11th centuries suggest that the Native Zobkhaz peoples had built up an empire that lasted for a long time, all the way up to the 15th century.
