}}'''The United Republic of Cappedore''', (often shortened to the '''U.R.C''', '''Cappedore''', or lengthened professionally to the '''Unitary Federation of Cappedorite States''', or '''U.F.C.S.'''), is a semi-presidential federal parliamentary republic located in Southeastern Yasteria, sharing an ocean border with the [[Free Pax States]] and [[Peregrinia]], and bordered in the east by the [[Pacific Ocean]]. Cappedore has a population of over 70 million within
Various native Cappedorite tribes inhabited the lands around the [[Driftwood Harbour]] since antiquity, and tribal kingdoms sprung up in the southwestern region of Cappedore during the middle ages before the [[Discovery of Cappedore|accidental arrival]] of [[Staynish]] settlers in 1609. Before its establishment as a republic, Cappedore existed as a tributary Archduchy state to the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]], with 5 of its 30 present day states existing as sub-duchies within Cappedore. The nation would eventually gain its independence from the Staynish in 1730, but for nearly a century failed to expand into the new lands, as native forces in the area were far too strong in numbers for the underdeveloped Archduchy of Cappedorite States to handle. It wasn't until 1812 when a revolution sprung up in Cappedore and with the help of other states managed to expand, leading to the creation of brand new states.
