Ankuran (French: Anquorin;
IPA: /ɑːn•'kɒr•ɑːn/, /eɪŋ•'kər•ɪn/), known officially as The People's Commonwealth of Ankuran (French: La Communauté Populaire d'Anquorin) and historically as The People's Republic of Ankuran (French: La République Populaire d'Anquorin), is a small island nation located in the North Atlantic region known as the Sargasso Sea. Ankuran encompasses roughly 151,000 square kilometers (roughly 58,300 mi²) and has an estimated population of 47.2 million.Ankuran is notable for its keen interest in technology, lack of free market and prisons, and comprehensive policies in healthcare, welfare, and education. While known to foreign citizens for its cultured cities and breathtaking scenery--ranging from rugged mountains in the north to rolling steppes in central Ankuran to temperate marshlands to the southwest--Ankuran has gained international notice for its frequent use of privateers and mercenary forces to supplement--and oftentimes replace--its own armed forces.
Etymology
Ankuran rabbit refers to a large type of domestic rabbit or hare bred for meat and fur, commonly used by New Belgian explorers during the 19th century. The word ankuran is derived from the Turkish capital city of Ankara, from which the ancestors of Ankuran rabbits, angora rabbits, come. During the New Belgium Revolution during the first World War, Ankuran rabbits--particularly the jack-booted cottontail--became a common symbol of New Belgian self-sufficiently. For the same reason, the People's Republic of Ankuran adopted the jack-booted cottontail as an anti-monarchy symbol and, following its independence from New Belgium, its national animal.
History
Geography
The official language of Ankuran is French, with monolingual and bilingual francophones making up over 60% of Ankurani, and is a member of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. Ankuran English is the second most spoken. Due to Ankuran's liberal immigration and refugee policies, dozens of other languages and dialects can be found, including dialects of German, Arabic, and Spanish.
Religious diversity among Ankurani is high, due in no small part to national policies aimed towards promoting the arts, tolerance, and individuality. While religion is rarely taught as part of a school curriculum outside of purely religious schools, the Ankuran government's official stance on the subject of religion in school can be described as agnostic. In 1971, as part of the Ankuran government's spiritual reforms, the existence of the divine could neither be proven nor disproven, and Ankuran could "neither confirm nor deny the existence of [God]; and will not until a reasonable global consensus can be reached."
