Blatopia(pronounced /bla-tope-e-ah/) is an island nation comprised of eight city-states. Once uninhabited, the island was discovered and settled in the late 1700s by a number of Germanic, Greek, Caribbean, and Pacific peoples, who built what are now Pacardia's city-states, which became united in 1840 under the rule of the House of Pacard, a now royal family with mainly British, Dutch, and Jamaican roots. In recent decades there has been a large influx of American immigration, making a large impact on Pacardian society.
