Gotland

Gotland (Swedish: Gotland, German: Gottland, Russian: Готланд, Gotland), officially the Republic of Gotland (Swedish: Republiken Gotland, German: Republik Gotland, Russian: Республика Готланд, Respublika Gotland) is an island nation in the Baltic Sea. The country's only maritime border is with Sweden to the west.

A vast majority (95.5%) of the country's land area is located on the island of Gotland, which is the largest island in the Baltic Sea. The country also includes the small islands of  Fårö and  Gotska Sandön to the north, as well as the even smaller Karlsö Islands ( Lilla and  Stora) to the west. Those are the five main islands of the country. The population of Gotland is over 80,000 people, 40% of which live in Visby, the capital and the largest city of the country.

Gotland is divided into nine provinces and one special territory - Gotska Sandön. It is the third-largest island of the country, but it has no capital, no local government   and   no permanent population. Instead, the entire island is occupied by a national park and is directly controlled by the Gutnish government.

Gotland is a federal semi-presidential constitutional republic. Every law in the Constitution is made and discussed by the State Parliament, which is elected every two years. The Parliament consists of ten representatives from every province of the country. Then the law is sent to the State Council and either accepted or declined. Then, if the law is accepted by the President, it will be added into the Constitution. However, the referendums in every province can make laws act or don't act in the province. For example, only in the province of Fårö and Gotska Sandon are the only places in the country where it is illegal for children under 16 to appear outside of their homes without parents or other people who is above 16.
