Ametà, officially the Crowned Republic of Ametà and until 1961 known as A metà, is a Meridan island country consisting of a large volcanic island bearing the nation's name, as well as several smaller, uninhabited islands. The capital city, and largest city, is Porto Ametà. The Ametàn people discovered and settled the islands around 3,500 years ago. They developed an Ametàn language and Ametàn cultural identity.
Ametà is a unitary parliamentary democracy with six administrative divisions. The nation is a member of the League of Serrian States and the Serrian Economic Cooperation Treaty as a full member. Because of the Ametàns' seafaring skills, pre-20th-century Western explorers referred to the entire people as the "Navigators.” The country was occupied by Yinshan from 1899 to 1935, and by a Serrian colonial administration until 1 January 1961, when it achieved independence.
In July 2014, King Giulio Janove became the head of state, succeeding King Franco Janove. President Ajiana returned to power after a landslide victory in December 2018, beginning a fifth term as President.
Name
Originally named A metà by Serrian navigators for its location, the island's people adopted this name after millennia of isolation and no formal western-style government. Serria, during its period of expansion and during its period of exile from its home archipelago, established trade relations for farming and fishing goods found near around Ametà's rich natural landscape. When the island nation recieved independence in 1961, it did so with the shortened name of Ametà to establish its own idenity.
