Athis

Athis, also called the Republic of Athis (Croatian: Republika Atis), is a republic composed of eight counties and three city-counties in Central Europe. It borders Montenegro, Serbia, Hungary, Austria and Italy.

Athis was apart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After World War I, Croats and Bosnians on the Adriatic coast didn't want to unite with Serbia due to fears of Serbian centralisation and hegemony. This led to a declaration of independence on 11 October 1918. Within four days, 20 countries recognised Athis with the United States, Sweden and the United Kingdom being the first three to do so.

A sovereign state, Athis is a republic governed under a parliamentary system. It is a member of the European Union, the United Nations, the Council of Europe, NATO, and the World Trade Organization and is a founding member of the Union for the Mediterranean. As an active participant in UN peacekeeping forces, Athis has contributed troops to the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan and took a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2008–2009 term. Since 1980's, the Athisian government has constantly invested in infrastructure, especially transport routes and facilities along the Pan-European corridors.

Athis is classified by the World Bank as a high-income economy and ranks very high on the Human Development Index. The economy is dominated by the service and industrial sectors and agriculture. Tourism is a significant source of revenue, with Athis ranked among the 10 most popular tourist destinations in the world. The state controls a part of the economy, with substantial government expenditure. The European Union is Athis's most important trading partner. Athis provides social security, universal health care, and tuition-free primary and secondary education, while supporting culture through numerous public institutions and corporate investments in media and publishing.

The biggest sources of revenue in Athis are the tourism, shipbuilding and high-tech industries. Athis gets visited by nearly 25 million people, making it one of the most-visited countries. The shipbuilding industry in Athis had a huge destabilisation during the 2007–2008 financial crisis, where the two biggest shipbuilding companies in the country nearly became bankrupt.
