Ofiussia

Ofiussia, officially the Republic of Ofiussia, is a sovereign country located in the west of the Iberian Peninsula.

It was founded after the collapse of the short-lived Third Portuguese Republic following the independence of Southern and Northern Portugal. Ofiussia was established as a non-alligned buffer state, and is ruled by the Socialist Party, leaded by Prime Minister Mário Soares.

Etymology
The name Ofiussia comes from Ophiussa, the name the ancient greek gave to the territory near the mouth of the River Tagus. It means Land of Serpents.

It was chosen in 1978, one year after its foundation, to symbolize a new start for Portugal.

Geography
Ofiussia borders Lusitania to the north, Alentejo and Algarve to the south, Castille to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

Despite being an unitary state, Ofiussia is divided by Districts, each with his Civil Governor and Legislative Assembly.
