Iberian Republic

The Democratic Republic of Lusitania (Iberian Republic) is one of the Internal Republics (Nation-States) of the Atlantic Federation. It has 7 inner-states. The Iberian Republic is the Atlantic Federation's southern most republic. It is also the only nation in the Federation where the number of black and pardo people is superior to that of whites. There are strong signs of Portuguese and Spanish colonization, and despite the major progressivist revolutions in its northern neighbor, the Iberian Republic remains a majoritarily Roman Catholic and conservative nation with sincretic traits to Christianity that are similar to those practiced in Brazil and Angola. There are still Candonblé followers to this day, preserving a great African heritage elsewhere inexistent in the Federation. Located on the east coast, the State of Sevilla is a cultural treasury for the Federation. It is the only place within the AF's borders where Spanish is the official language above all others and the majority of the population are also Spanish speakers. On top of that, the city of Al Shadur can be found in the southern part of the state, a city where the majority of the population speaks Arabic instead of Spanish. Spanish and Arabic traditionally have strong ties thanks to the occupation of the Iberian peninsula in the middle-ages. Expressions like "Ojala que..." literally mean "May Allah hear so...". Al Shadur is the hub of immigration from Africa, often illegal. In further oposition to the rest of the Federation, Sevilla features an astounding 41% of the population being muslims.
