Theria is located on the continent of North America in the New England region of the United States. Currently occupying 4 small areas inside the US state of Massachusetts and a group of rock land near South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. Bordering Massachusetts and the Atlantic Ocean.

Theria's capital is the city of Súll with a population of 3 (1 permanent resident and 2 temporary residents) The whole population is 11 as of 2023 with 4 living in Theridian territory.
Etymology
The name Theria comes from the Greek word "Θηρίο" (Thirío) meaning "Beast". The prefix "-ia" means "land of". So, Theria means land of beasts. In Theria we treat animals equally to humans. The Republic of Theria bears no relation to the subclass of mammals "Theria" .
History
New Beginnings
13 January 2022, around the time the founder and president of Theria dissolved their past nation, Republic of Kalibia. They worked with the now President, Oosterman to form the Republic of Theria. A nation sought to create friendships and peace between other nations. The early days of Theria were slow and mostly consisted of the basics.
One of the things the presidents worked on was the flag. The flag consisted of 3 horizontal stripes of Yellow, Any shade of blue, and Black. Yellow symbolising the Sun and happiness, Shades of Blue represent Water and Life, and the Black represents the night, our moon, and determination. The Blue strip can be shown with any shade of blue but is usually shown as light blue. Therias flag is also known as the "Continuance of Life" flag. Another essential the presidents created was the Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms for Theria has had about 3 different versions with multiple tweaks and improvements. It has a unique shape of a hard rhombus shield.
Slavtria Concerns
In October of 2022 the Republic of Slavtria had concerns that Theria had stolen & changed their flag. This was not true, the leaders of Theria had not heard of Slavtria during the creation of Theria. As of now the concerns have been cleared up.
ANAM
On 30 November 2022 Theria along with several other nations created ANAM. Agreement of North American Micronations. The founding micronations are, Theria, Reektby, Dilland, and Firensia. ANAM was created for trading and peace across the continent.
Government & Politics

Environment
Flora
The Republic of Theria is home to many native plant species. Some such are both coniferous and broadleaf trees, such as the maple and pine. The majority of the ground is covered in grass, occasionally split up with flowers and bushes. Invasive species, deforestation, and wildfires are not issues in Theria as of 2023. Most flora retreats back into the soil during the winter season and regrows in the spring, following a yearly basis. New plants are sometimes imported from Massachusetts for decorative purposes, and do not usually leave the housing buildings. Plants also serve a significant purpose in a citizen's diet. Some things eaten are foods such as berries, grains, vegetables, and other plants. They have to be imported, however, because Theria does not have any farms of their own.
Fauna
Massachusetts Territory
There are also multiple species of native animals to Theria. The city of Kaliba is closely located to a forested meadow which hosts as a home for many kinds of wildlife. The most common to see are birds. The national animal of Theria, the crow, is a frequent sight in Theridian skies. Other kinds of birds are sparrows, blue jays, red-tailed hawks, american robins, starlings, chickadees, ospreys, turkeys, and mourning doves. Another common sight in Theria are gray squirrels, which are small tree-dwelling rodents with bushy tails. They often raid bird feeders and eat seeds and nuts for food. Larger animals that wander out of the meadow are white-tailed deer, red foxes, gray foxes, coyotes, striped skunks, raccoons, eastern cottontails, groundhogs, and opossums. The occasional reptile and amphibian are also native. The garter snake, snapping turtle, frog, or salamander are all native creatures. Theria also borders the ocean, so some small shallow saltwater fish such as the minnow are endemic species. Some domestic animals such as dogs or cats also occasionally enter Theridian territory.
Livian Island
Livian Island, being close to Antarctica, has a variety of unique marine animals. Some are fur seals and king penguins, as seen on the coat of arms, as well as a number of birds such as the skua and albatross. There are also macaroni penguins, elephant seals, and antarctic prions.
