Beiluxia (/beɪ'lʌksiːʌ/ or /beɪ'luːksiːʌ/), officially The Eternal Serene Republic of Beiluxia, is a sovereign state in 10000 Islands comprising of Beiluxia Isle, the Maolutianian Peninsula, and numerous minor islands. Beiluxia has a total area of 550,000 square kilometres, making it the world's 50th-largest country by size. It shares a common border with Maxtopia and two unrecognised secessionist states along the Armistice Demilitarised Border (ADB), which despite its name is the longest militarised border in the world.
The land that is now Beiluxia has been been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples, also known as Natives. Beginning in the early 17th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored and later settled the region's coast. The British created colonies along the southern coast and western plains of Baeluksia Isle, whereas the French mainly colonised along the western Baeluksian coast and northern Maolutianian coast. The population grew steadily in subsequent centuries, the territory was explored, and self-governing British crown colonies and French provinces were established. On 29 March, 1908, three British territories and one French territory federated, forming the federal republic that established Beiluxia. Subsequent decades saw the addition of nearby European colonies into Beiluxia as well as expansion outward to northern Baeluksia Isle and northern Maolutiania Peninsula. Years of conflict between neighbouring Maxtopia in Maolutiania Peninsula resulted in the Maolutiania Crisis of 1986 and ended with an armistice in 1989 and establishment of the ADB. Beiluxia is still de facto at war with Maxtopia since the two countries never signed a peace treaty.
Beiluxia is a federal constitutional elective monarchy under a semi-presidential system, with the Figure Representative as head of state and the Prime Minister as head of government. The country is officially trilingual at the federal level. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse nations. Four-fifths of the population trace at least part of their ancestry to non-Natives, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries around the world. With a population of 147 million as of December 2013, Beiluxia is the world's ninth most populous nation. Its advanced economy is one of the largest in the world, relying on both its highly developed financial and telecommunication sectors and its abundant natural resources. Beiluxia's long and complex relationships with Maxtopia, the UK, and France have had a significant impact on its economy and culture. Despite its multicultural and colonial heritage, Beiluxia isolated itself culturally, politically, and physically from the international community throughout various points of history; Beiluxia was often referred to as a hermit kingdom up until the latter part of the 20th century.
Beiluxia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world with the third-largest economy by nominal GDP. Beiluxia has the thirteenth highest human development index, tied with Iceland. Beiluxia consistently ranks highly in international measurements of education, government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, and economic freedom. The country is a recognised middle power in international politics and is a member of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), World Trade Organization, Commonwealth of Nations, Francophonie, and The World Assembly.
