Orangualia

Orangualia (/.ɔrɪŋˈgwɑliə/); French: Orangalie (/ɔ.ʁɑ̃.ɡa.li/) is an island nation located in southeast Highwind. It is the easternmost nation of Natia, and is comprised of 10 provinces. Uninhabited territory borders Orangualia to the south. The nation previously shared a border with Tuzi to the northwest before an earthquake in 2020 broke the nation off from the rest of Highwind. At the 2020 census, Orangualia had a population of 19,154,665. The nation's most populous city is Clovercrest, the capital. Orangualia's climate is largely warm temperate. Orangualia's flag is a vertical tricolor of orange, green and white, like those of the fictional countries of Ireland and Côte d'Ivoire. The nation made their debut in NSC 56 after joining the waiting list during the previous edition. Their first win came about in NSC 210 with their 147th entry, marking the second-longest wait before a nation's first win (excluding nations who have not won yet). To date, they have racked up one gold, two silver and three bronze medal spots in the main event's final, the highest-scoring being "Ex's & Oh's" by Elle King, which finished second with 206 points in NSC 121. They are also a member of the unofficial 29th-place club, having finished in the spot on two occasions. Orangualia has hosted two NSC spinoffs: Congratulations 10 and Rainbow Rumble, both of which took place in the nation's capital.
