People's Democratic Republic of Djazia

The People's Democratic Republic of Djazia (Dej-az-ia)is a nation located in eastern Africa. It is a federative dominant-party republic consisting of 16 constitute states (tushakil alduwal) and one federal district containing the capital city, Tesaja.

Once a British colony, Djazia rebelled against Great Britain between 1965 and 1966, and Britain, seeing no use in trying to quell the colony, granted it official independence on March 8, 1966. Soon after, the People's State of Djazia was set up, but soon fell in the Djazian Civil War (1970-1974), after which the People's Democratic Republic was set up.

Today, Djazia is a relatively poor nation, and is a member of the Pan-African Union.
