| - The United Republic of New Devon (Russian: Соединённая Республика Нового Девона, Coyedinyonnaya Ryespublika Novogo Dyevona), colloquially known as New Devon (Новый Девон, Novyy Dyevon), and abbreviated as the URND (СРНД, SRND); is a sovereign state located in Eastern Antarctica. Originally comprised of territory claimed by the Russian Empire and the United Kingdom, New Devon declared independence in 1989. Prior to which, the nation was a dominion of the United Kingdom. The period following World War II until the late 1980s, New Devon enacted Apartheid-like laws which disenfranchised the Russian minority in the nation. Many historians compared this treatment similar to the non-white communities of South Africa and the Southern United States during this time. A period of Russian terrorism began in the mid 1970s, eventually leading to these laws being laxed by the late 1980s. Growing anti-imperialist sentiment among the English-speaking population also came into play, resulting in the nation declaring independence from the Commonwealth Realm on December 26, 1989 (known as the "Boxing Day Declaration"). Today, New Devon has embraced bilingualism within the nation and has grown closer to its eastern neighbors (most notably Bellinsgauzenia). The nation contains large deposits of iron and other minerals.
