Szfasafi Union

Szfasafi Union, formerly known as Zfasafia, is a small disputed country bordering Beautania, and was formerly a state within Beautania. It is known for its value of intelligence, and has had a program since 2006 in which it will select people from around the world who the government has determined are geniuses and offer to arrange their immigration their for a very low price. 

Its official independence from Beautania was scheduled for August 19th, 2022, but has been put on hold indefinitely due to Beautanian soldiers still being in the Szfasafi Peninsula. It will become independent when all Beautanian forces are evacuated from the Szfasafi Union. 

It consists of three main regions: Szfasafia, the island which has its capital, Atla-Tau; the Szfasafi Peninsula, the mainland, which is contested due to the Beautanian claims that they own the land; and Rihion Erstadt, which is heavily contested and will still not be officially a part of the Szfasafi Union upon independence.
