Livaria (Livarian: Ліваря), officially the Regal Republic of Livaria (Livarian: Королівська Республіка Ліварії; Korolivs'ka Respublika Livariyi), and often referred to eponymously as The Regal Republic, is a unitary parliamentary monarchical republic in north-eastern Anaria. The nation encompasses the Cheltic Isles, namely Livarskiy, Belohor and Zolotar islands. The islands are sandwiched off the north-eastern coast of Anaria Major, the eastern coast of Thultannia and the southern coast of Stoldavia, controlling the strategic straits that lead to the North Settant Sea and the Stolvic Ocean beyond. The country shares maritime borders with Halland and Auresia to the west, Zelezmia to the south, Helreich to the east and the United Royal Provinces to the north. Rubizhne is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Rivnya, Zra-Rostyslav, Uzherehins'ke, Chervone and Andrushivka. The total area of Livaria, excluding its overseas territories, is 397,190 km2.

Livaria is the 11th most populous state on Gotha, with 123,816,597 inhabitants as of 7690, as well as the third most densely populated. The Greater Rubizhne Metropolitan Area, colloquially known as the 'Rubokruh', is one of the largest urban metropoleis in the world. The nation was one of the leaders of the industrial revolution of the 7300s and has since then remained a foremost economic power. Livaria has the third-largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in the world and has amongst the highest GDP per capita and standards of living on Gotha. Its economy is dominated by the services sector, but it has a large and highly developed electronics and manufacturing sector which makes it one of the world's largest importers and exporters. It also has a significant research and development sector.

The constitution of modern Livaria is governed by the Regal Compromise of 7XXX, which sought to reconcile the position of the elected king with other republican traditions, and transformed the country into a constitutional parliamentary monarchy. Some political scientists have described Livaria's system of govenrment as a crowned republic. The head of state of the Regal Republic is the King (or Queen)-elect, a noble elected to the office for life, while the head of government is the Chancellor, who wields de facto executive authority in the country. Livaria is governed under a bicameral parliament, made up of the Noble Assembly (the upper house) and the Council (the lower house), mostly known as the Rada.

Livaria is a Great Power and one of the Nuclear Five. It has one of the most technologically advanced and capable armed forces in the world, with a large blue-water navy and a number of military bases across the planet in the country's various overseas territories as well as allied nations. Livaria is a prominent member of a number of international organisations, including ICoN, OSSO and XXX.
