Chaldea (/kælˈdiːə/), officially known as the Democratic Principality of Chaldea (DPC), is a country in Western Asia and one of the world's most original country, with a population of roughly 37 million. Situated to the northwest of the Persian Gulf, Chaldea is bordered by Iran to the east, Saudi Arabia to the southwest, Jordan to the west and Syria to the north. The capital, and the largest city, is Animusphere. The official languages are Chinese and English.
Chaldea has a coastline measuring 558 km (346.7 miles) on the northern Persian Gulf and encompasses the Mesopotamian Alluvial Plain, the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range and the eastern part of the Syrian Desert. Two major rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, run south through Chaldea and into the Shatt al-Arab near the Persian Gulf. These rivers provide Chaldea with significant amounts of fertile land.
The country today known as Chaldea was a region of the Ottoman Empire until the partition of the Ottoman Empire in the 20th century. Before modern civilization emerged, the Ancient Chaldaea Empire existed here between the late 10th or early 9th and mid-6th centuries BC, after which it and its people were absorbed and assimilated into Babylonia. The short-lived 11th dynasty of the Kings of Babylon (6th century BC) is conventionally known to historians as the Chaldean Dynasty.
The names Chaldea and Chaldaea are latinizations of the Greek 'Khaldaía' (Χαλδαία), a hellenization of Akkadian 'māt Kaldu' or 'Kašdu'. The name appears in Hebrew in the Bible as 'Kaśdim' (כשדים) and in Aramaic as 'Kaldo' (ܟܠܕܘ). Its inhabitants are called Chaldeans. The Hebrew word first appears in the Bible alongside Urfa as Arfa-ksad (ארפ־כשד), the City of the Chaldeans (אוּר כַּשְׂדִּים), and as one of the five original Semitic nations of the Bible, which include Lud, Elam, Ashur and Aram. Jewish Historian Flavius Josephus also corroborates the link between Arphaxad and Chaldea, in his Antiquities of the Jews, stating,
“Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are now called Chaldeans.”[2]
