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 seven 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.
