OFFICIAL REQUEST OF MIGRATION TO ATLAS
A request made to the Founder, Executive President and Minister of Recruitment to allow the below nation to enter the region of AtlasGeneral National Information
Formal Nation Name: United Federation of Orion
National Demonym: Orionan
Nation Population: 123,585,141
Please give a brief description of your climate and geography: The climate is similar to southern Cascadia and the northeast of the United States, geography is fairly similar to southern Cascadia and the northeast of the United States.
Please give a brief description of your national ethnicities and culture: Orion is a melting pot mainly composed of American, British, Irish, and Norwegian culture. Jewish and German culture is involved in the melting pot, and many other cultures are also involved in the melting pot due to relaxed immigration standards. Ethnicities vary, and the vast majority of Orionans have more than a few ethnicities in their family tree.
Please give a brief description of your national history: Orion was founded in the 1820s by what I'm imagining to be a group of settlers. The present system was introduced in the early 1830s, and Orion had a period of high population growth and immigration from around 1870 to 1940. I'm imagining Orion was more or less neutral in the Great Wars, though in the Second Great War it might have had limited participation and could have sent an expeditionary force during the middle of the war. The current government was elected in 2013. Orion could have had a few border skirmishes or problems with its neighbours depending on where it is located, though I have a fairly good idea of where I would like to locate Orion.Government & Economy
