Apria

Apria is a fictional country part of name-generated countries. This small tropical nation is located over 600km southeast of Christmas Island and around 1,177km away from mainland Australia.

The country is made up by two small islands- Apria and Little Apria. The main island, Apria, is over 35,000 square kilometers in area. The country's capital, Cammle, is the main entryway into Apria via both air and sea. Cammle is served by General Robert Sawyer International Airport. A person from Apria is known as an "Aprian". As of 2020 demographics, the country has a population of over 520,000 people. The country is known for its vast abundance of tropical animals and sealife.

Tourism is the main economy of the island, taking up over 45% of the country's overall economy, apart from fishing and farming. The country has rigid mountainous terrain, with its highest peak being Mount Lynne at 1,605 feet. Apart from Mount Lynne, some of its iconic tourist spots are Wealdstone Field, Permitte House and Cowanlin Garden. The largest lake is Ridgeover Lagoon that drains via the Tyler River. Likew most tropical countries, Apria has an abundance of fauna and flora. Fishing is the main sustanance for people living on the coastline. A favorite dish for locals and tourists alike is the Aprian Tuna Steak, a dish mainly consisting of marinated tuna steak and side dishes such as potatoes and Welsh rabbit. World-renowned chefs have shown favor to the dish. Other national foods include seaweed, smoked chicken meat, and tomato soup.

The current flag of Apria consists of two horizontal bands of Yellow and White. A Lozenge stands in the hoist area facing vertical, which is split into two triangles. The top one is color green, while the bottom is color yellow. In the middle stands the picture of a 17th century ship. The brown triangle stands for the highest peak on the island (that being, Mount Lynne), while the lower triangle colored yellow stands for one of the sun's rays (symbolizing freedom and tranquility). The current flag has been used since 1965.

The second island, Little Apria, is only 980 square kilometers. It is only accessible via boat, with the two islands being over 54km away from each other. There used to be an airstrip on the island, but it was destroyed in 1945 after it was bombarded by U.S. troops during World War II. The rest of the airstrip was demolished in the early 50's, making General Robert Sawyer Intl' the only airport in the country. The island is where most of the country's fishing population resides. An immigration center also stands on the island. Apria uses the Aprian Jine (translated to 'money') as their currency, and they drive on the right side of the road. The people are mostly made up of the Kihne people at around 39% and Aborginal Australians at 20%. The rest include Indonesians as well as European and Indian immigrants. The official language, Apa, has been used for over 130 years now. In the 1880's, the language was taught in elementary schools across the country, though it was not an official language. It did not take until 1891 for it to officially be the national language of the country. The entire language looks similar to some European languages, though they have different pronunciations. For example, "Jine" is pronounced as "Hi-ne". The nation celebrates regular celebrations such as Christmas and New Year's, but they also celebrate some national celebrations. One notable example is the Nuanna festival, a festival that takes place from 24-26 August. This festival celebrates the declaration of democracy in the country when it was declared in 1978 (Nuanna means 'democracy' in Apa, so it literally translates to 'Democracy festival').
