The territory of Estuary

Estuary (later known as New Estuary) was discovered on the other side of the world in the year -100 NRA, by Lucas Hudson from Reyland, and Forrest Lafleur from Sya United, on a joint surveying voyage. Disembarking at Dona Ana, Forrest Lafleur stayed to explore and document the land, while Lucas Hudson returned home to reveal their discovery.
No country had formal claim, nor had the means to colonize and govern Estuary, so it was declared to belong to all nations. Volunteers comprising mostly of scientists from every country would take the pilgrimage to Estuary, and once a year all nations would take the trek across the ocean to trade for technologies that Estuary had been developing.
Estuary worked well to advance the world, but over time became defiant of the annual required trades. A revolutionist group; The People's Commonwealth led by First President, Kay Humphreys, rose into power, and denied all entry from other countries. With the world disconnected from Estuary, they quickly fell behind in the advancement of technology.
On the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Estuary, after many years of economical and political pressure, the world agreed to declare New Estuary a country of it's own, and to start a new age to commemorate the historic event.

Estuary had a diverse demography, with a mix of different ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds. The population was estimated to be less than 1 million people.
