The historical roots of Naquarnia lie in a number of coastal trade-oriented towns with Arabic cultural influences, surrounded by poor mountaineous rural areas influenced by the Eetalijan culture. For a long time, there was no real central control, only an assembly of representatives of the different regions in Arnaq, the centrally located traditional assembly town, electing four "Duqes" as representants of the Naquarnian Alliance. Naquarnia joined the former Musogradian Empire on 1965.10.03, when the Treaty of Alte Ceccato was signed, but always maintained a level of autonomy within the Musogradian state and later the Federation.
Once dominated by both Traditional and Cathulic Muslim religion, today only 53% of the population follow these religions. Influence from Murwillumbah has led to a rise of Prosomism, a religion formulated in scientific terms, stating that the Universe is a simulation.
The northern part of Naquarnia is covered by the Ghibalni mountains; in the south, Naquarnia covers about 40% of the Djisr peninsula, bordering the former Sultanate of Djisara. The Republic is one of the poorest regions of the Federation, with limited agriculture due to lack of water and arable land. It has accepted a high number of Eetalijan refugees who left the Territorio Sovrano di Mondeo during the occupation and after its final abolition.
This migration has strengthened the rural Eetalijan culture in Naquarnia and led to a renaissance of the Eetalijan language in Naquarnia, pushing Murwillanian (itself a hybrid of Arabic, Hebrew, Eetalijan and Musosloviansk) and English into the background.
Old flag of the Republic of Naquarnia (until 2020):
On 2020-10-03, the 55th anniversary of the Treaty of Alte Ceccato, the official state name was changed to the Eetalijan version "Repubblika tal' Naquarnia", and the flag was changed, removing a religious element in the upper and the symbolic mountain range in the lower part of the flag, and inserting a white diagonal stripe instead, symbolizing openness, hope and the peaceful aspirations of the nation.
On 2025-06-04, the song "Noi siamo di Naquarnia" was declared to be the National Anthem of Naquarnia.
First stanza:
Noi siamo di Naquarnia
che cosa pensi tu
viviamo in montagna
e sul mare blu
Abbiamo molte radici
ma siamo uniti
Romani e arabi
muscani ebrei

Dall' pianura Djisara

che grande inoltre
Viviamo in paese
