Republic of Galiza

Galiza is an autonomous community in northwest Spain, with the official status of a historic nationality, this mod showcases the hypothetical situation in which this country gains independence from Spain right now.

Galicia is unlike anywhere else in Spain and is best described as similar to Ireland or Cornwall. The coastline comprises of tiny coves, beautiful sandy beaches, flanked by high cliffs and fishing ports and sheltered harbours. Inland the region is green and wooded, especially along the valleys where trees overlook lush meadows and orchards. Known as the land of a thousand rivers. Galicia is separated from the rest of the country by extensive mountain ranges on all sides and only the river Miño separates it from Portugal.



It comprises of four provinces: A Coruña, Pontevedra, Lugo and Ourense, named after their capital cities. Galiza's capital city is Santiago de Compostela, well know for having the cathedral where the tomb of St. James is located.

Galician it's Galiza's very own language and one of its main symbols, it is mainly spoken there but the language is also spoken in some border zones of the neighbouring Spanish regions of Asturias and Castile and León, as well as by Galician migrant communities in the rest of Spain, in Latin America, the United States, Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe.
Modern Galician is part of the West Iberian languages group, a family of Romance languages that includes the Portuguese language, which developed locally from Vulgar Latin and evolved into what modern scholars have called Medieval Galician or Galician-Portuguese. Dialectal divergences are observable between the northern and southern forms of Galician-Portuguese in 13th-century texts but the two dialects were similar enough to maintain a high level of cultural unity until the middle of the 14th century, producing the medieval Galician-Portuguese lyric. The divergence has continued to this day, producing the modern languages of Galician and Portuguese.
The language is officially regulated in Galiza by the Royal Galician Academy.
