Summary: Sierra (Spanish: Sierra, French: Sierra, Tondolese: 塞拉, Chinese: 塞拉, Vietnamese: Dãy Núi, Korean: 시에라, Japanese: シエラ, and German: Sierra), also referred to as Federal Sierra or the Sierran mainland, is a country located mostly in the North American West Coast with a population of eighty-seven million. Sierra is a constituent country of the Kingdom of Sierra, and shares this status with two other states (the Deseret and Hawaii). The term "Federal Sierra" is often used to distinguish the constituent part of Sierra from the Kingdom of Sierra. Federal Sierra consists of twenty-three provinces, ten territories, and two crown dependencies. It borders Astoria to the north, the Deseret and Brazoria to the east, Mexico to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Sierra's Yucatán territories shares land borders with Guatemala and Belize, and maritime borders with Cuba. It has a total area of 473,207 square miles (1,225,601 km2) and a population of an estimated 59.6 million (83.4 million as the Kingdom) inhabitants in 2020, making it the most populous member state in the Conference of American States and the 29th most populous country in the world when including the Kingdom as a whole.

Sierra is a federal monarchy and a representative democracy. Although Sierra is a constituent country within the sovereign state of the Kingdom of Sierra, it accounts for over 90% of the country's population and dominates the national politics and power structure. It is a member of the League of Nations and is a permanent member on the League of Nations Security Council. It also houses the primary headquarters of the League of Nations at its capital in Porciúncula. In addition, Sierra is a member of various other international political organizations including the Conference of American States, NATO, G8, OCED, Organization of American States, TPAC, WTO, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and more. Its $7.1 trillion economy, based on nominal GDP, represents the fourth largest economy in the world. It is a highly developed country with the fourth-largest economy nominally and the fourth largest economy by purchasing power parity. In terms of aggregate household wealth, it ranks fifth in the world. It is the third largest importer and exporter in the world. It has the fourth highest nominal GDP per capita and ranks very high on the Human Development Index. Its industries in Hollywood and Silicon Valley has made Sierra a global influencer on the economy, politics, entertainment, culture, finance, technology, science, fashion, medicine, and sports. Its services-oriented economy is driven by Sierra's involvement in international finance. The Sierran dollar is one of the world's most widely used currencies, and is used as one of the main reserve currencies. (more...)
