Republic of Rhodea is a federal republic located at the American East Coast. The small country is surrounded by the United States of America, which Rhodea refused to be a part of in 1776. Rhodea broke out from the British Empire in 1775, and fought together with other states for independence. When the American Consitution was signed in 1776, Rhodea formed its own federal republic, on the same basis as its big brother in north. Rhodea has refused to be an additional state of USA several times, but maintains a strong and friendly relationship to the States. Rhodea is member of the United Nations, NATO and COFR.
