Rayland (Rae-land), officially the Republic of Rayland, is a sovereign landlocked micronation located in North America. It lies inside the Gulf Coastal Plains region of Texas, bordering the United States of America in every direction, but currently neighbors no known micronations. The country's territory is composed of a majority of the founder's house, including the backyard, a part of the interior, and a part of the front yard. It also used to have two medium-sized enclaves in the founder's school playground, but were abandoned after the 2021–2022 school year ended. Rayland is separated into 4 provinces: Pusat (Pou-saht), New Swagtopia (Nu Swa-gh-toe-pee-ah), Viridia (Ver-id-ee-ah) and South Viridia (S-ow-th Ver-id-ee-ah).
Pusat lies at the northernmost tip of Rayland, and borders the provinces of New Swagtopia and Viridia, and can be translated into "Center" in Malay. It is the most populous province of Rayland, having 6 citizens, just under half of the total population of Revania. It is also the 2nd largest province in terms of land.
New Swagtopia lies just underneath Pusat and has 4 citizens, making it the 2nd most populous province, behind Pusat. It is the 3rd largest province in land area,
Name and etymology
Revania got its name from the Esperanto word "Revenu!", which means "Prevail!" in English. It went through 2 different name changes. It's first version was the Republic of Swagtopia, which was abandoned about a year before the name Revania was established. Then, Swagtopia got revived as the Republic of Fortistan. After one more name change, it was abandoned again and then revived once more as the Republic of Rayland.
History
Revania was first known as the Republic of Swagtopia, founded sometime around mid to late 2021. Swagtopia did not do much, and was abandoned many times. It primarily stayed in the founder's school playground. Speaking of founder, it was created by Jake along with three of his friends. After school ended, the president decided to completely start from scratch, and declared that the Republic of Swagtopia be known as the Republic of Fortistan. Later, it would be changed two more times along with its flag.
