Aquitaine (Fidem Pacis)

The Republic of Aquitaine is a sovereign state located in southwestern Europe straddling the Pyrenee mountains. Its mainland is bordered to the south by Spain and the Mediterranean Sea, to the west by the Bay of Biscay, to the north by France and to the east by Italy. Aquitanian territory also includes the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the Balearics.

Because of its location, Aquitaine has been subject to many external influences since prehistoric times. Prior to its emerging as an independent country in the 14th century, Aquitaine was the focus of countless wars between France and Spain regarding its ownership. It was an important source of influence to other regions in the early modern period, when it became a global empire that has left a legacy of over 500 million Occitan speakers today, making it the world's second most spoken first language.

Aquitaine is a democracy with a presidential republican form of government. It is a developed country with the tenth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and very high living standards.
