INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

The Waterlords' international relations are mainly based on military alliance with other nations, anti-pirate campaigns, expansion of territories,trade and diplomacy. The Waterlords is an active member of SNOM with a current regional influence of Auxiliary, and able to lodge message in the HQ at least twice a week. For an unknown reason, being the top rank in SNOM is hard to get and commonly defeated by New Bern99 in the ranking. Waterlords sits under top 5 of SNOM ranking and commonly place on 3rd. SNOM Chief Justice, Graphic Designer and current WA Delegate The Western Reaches helped Waterlords in creating its Epic Flag and edited its Coat of Arms.

Waterlords is the former Naval Deputy of League of Anti-Terrorism (LAT) and Naval Commander of a disbanded Band of Nation Against Terrorism (BNAT). Both aims to end of terrorism but the feud between the leaders and some members of both alliances has been proven too much for Waterlords and therefore loses his positions. This has greatly disappointed Commander Abner and has forced him to rethink his anti-pirate alliance plan. Though Waterlords is not anymore in an alliance involving anti-terrorism, its quest against terrorism especially pirates is still the same. Waterlords is currently a member of the World Anti-Terrorism Unit (WATU) where a position of an administrator is being considered.

Waterlords also have an informal and formal alliances with other colonizing countries in its Abnerian colony. The current conflict on the Western part of the island has been alerted to the Most Handsome Commander Abner and may use force to protect the people from Abnerian. This conflict also affect the Waterlords conquest in gaining another colony in the same island. Waterlords recently colonized New Jobert (derived from Admiral Jobert of WGNF) in the Meria ArisContinent. The continent is most hostile as of to date due to other big countries threatening small ones. New Jobert for now will not join the war as they still try to establish their colony over the land.

Waterlords is currently a member of Ancien Regime Alliance, Antican Alliance and Joint-World Defense Alliance. Which aims is to provide a military alliances with its member. Waterlords is willing to deploy its troop at any alliances request but only if Admiral Jobert think it is necessary. Waterlords is currently the observer of International Libertarian Alliance and a Full-Pledged Member of the Steel Pack.

ISSUES

From the start of the Golden Face Dynasty (Military Rule), the human resources are complaining about deforestation of rainforests thus some animals formerly living in that area are now extinct like bears, 5 kinds of birds and even our former national animal: Missile guided sharks. But the government denied all of these accusations, and claimed that Waterlords' rainforests are still virgin and still have tall trees as can be seen in this picture taken by a foreign journalist:

and the snow from Atlanticusis Oceanusis Eskemberli region is not melting:

Soldiers are said to be spying on people but these allegations are also tagged as FALSE.

"We assure to every foreign tourists in Waterlords that nobody are spying on them and they can always have a good time during your stay in Waterlords!"
-Admiral Jobert

ECONOMY

The Economy is controlled by the government, which is controlled by the military under the Golden Face Dynasty. Private corporations become illegal and the Waterlords' Economy become stronger and more stable. FAFW also achieved higher funds and the technology is mainly focus for the development of our forces.


GOLD COINS
The first monetary currency of Waterlords from its primitive era, Magwapohun's, pirates and until to the early years of the Golden Face dynasty. Having a gold coins make sense since Waterlords has been previously ruled by pirates and a barbaric king who gather other resources to create his force.


WATERLOO (W)
Due to the intelligent idea of Command Abner, he created a currency that separates us from our pirate ancestors. As we clearly know that only, i repeat, ONLY the Navies are the rightful masters of the seas. It also help our human resources to keep more money and all of our ships will not be having trouble of being overloaded due to golden coins our navies carrying. Waterloo currency can be written as "WLW" which stans for "Waterlord Waterloo" or a W.

WATERLORDS GDP

Thanks to government controlled economic system and 90% tax to human resources, Waterlords economy become strong and stable for the whole Golden Face Dynasty with a per capita GDP of W100,000. With the private and foreign corporations illegal, the human resources living in Waterlords therefore are forced to buy products that is made from the country. The Waterlords government enjoys its rich economy by giving much of its budget to the Forever Attacking Forces of Waterlords (FAFW), followed by Education, Science, Technology and Health are among the top 5 priorites; while all areas are still well funded. However, the problem with a government-controlled and anti-private corporations policy is that it hampers the Waterlords in its Economic relations with other countries especially with allied countries. There are no plans in uplifting its anti-private corp law as of now, especially Waterlords has been known for this law. But we do know, Commander Abner, the Commander-in-Chief of Waterlords is planning to raise taxes to gain more budget.


GDP (purchasing power parity): W277.2 billion = $13.86 trillion
GDP—real growth rate: 3.1%
GDP—per capita (PPP): W100,000
GDP—composition by sector:
agriculture: 18.11%

EDUCATION

Education is regarded one of the priority of Waterlords even from the Magwapohun Dynasty where human resources study under a tree, primarily concerning naval warfare or some articles written by foreign or local authors. As years pass, school building has been built to give Waterlords a comprehensive education program. However, during the Water Nomads Dynasty, the education system is destroyed and schools have been evacuated as there are no formal government in the country at that time. But still, the Waterlordians tried to study in an underground education program with the help of the royal family. When the royal family came to power, the education sector has again rebuilt. With the education having the top priority of that time, school structures is created everywhere and both the economic and education sectors are booming. Waterlordians achieved a 99.8% literacy rating during at that time and considered one of the brightest citizen in the world. During the Golden Face dynasty, private schools has been prohibited and military academy has been given more priority than the civilian schools.

Today, Waterlords is reported to have a literacy rating of 97.2% with a compulsory education from grade to high schools. But still, some family tries to hide their children and want to let their child studies abroad thus leading them joining some foreign academy (threads). They are still acceptable to Waterlords as long as they can prove to the government that they can help the Waterlords in its development. According to the data of Waterlords Education Center W(EC), Waterlords Naval Academy, Fort Magwapohun is the top performing university while the University of Waterlords (UW) has the most number of enrollment.

TECHNOLOGY

Waterlords is currently under Modern Technology or MT. The following are the past and present technology that Waterlords have.

MILITARY DEFENSE

With most of Waterlords' budget given to the military (W20 billion), Waterlords has a budget of W500 billion for its improvement and maintenance of its military defense. Approximately 70 thousand military defense equipments including anti-air defense are currently positioned in some strategic and high priority areas. There is also a report that WMDs are being developed or already been created and the total number of these weapons are still unknown. Military equipments with some budgets from FAFW are also been created. As a naval nation, Waterlords military equipments and vehicles must be up to date. They are like other modern tech equips but modified to answer the Waterlordian soldiers need.

UNDERWATER CITY

As a Waterlords name as it is, Commander Abner has ordered to create a new underwater city that will help Waterlordians to conceal some of its WMDs and top secret military training and operations. As of now, there are only W1 billion budget for this great undertaking. It is said that Waterlords is now preparing to make the country to be classified as a Post-Modern Technology.
URGENT NEWS: The government of Waterlords halted its city program due to the leaked anomalies concerning its program. Suspected corrupt officials has reported that they will face court martial soon

SPACE PROGRAM

Waterlords has previously joined an intergalactic warfare before, but the expenses and maintenance of the space program is proved to be too costly leaving all space budget to only W100 million this year. W100 million is only enough for the program maintenance. It seems that PMT and FT dream of Commander Abner is put on hold.

TOURISM

Note: it is highly recommended for tourists to first know the rules in Waterlords before entering the beautiful country

Even with massive deforestation, Waterlords still offers eco-tourism due to their tropical climate and weather. Popular with its white beaches, thousand islets and rich virgin ecosystem (only in tourism spots). Tourists can also go to the most northern region of Waterlords if they want to enjoy snow. Adventurers can also visit the "Survivor islands" where they can try to outlast the condition there. Survivor islands contain the most dangerous wild animals in Waterlords, and other monsters like godzilla and other monsters do sometime visit the area.

Lots of beautiful caves, and rich in species of fish. However, lots of land and aerial animals, including endemic only to the Waterlords is now already extinct. With only few surviving species located in Waterlords National Zoo.

Waterlordians are naturally beautiful so they do attract some tourist buts there is a law in Waterlords (to protect their beautiful looking citizens) that they must not have an affair with tourists. Only soldiers on duty, specially in foreign country can have an affair with the locals but only if the country's law allow it. Culture and structures amazes all of tourists.

Shopping is also one of the tourists like about the Waterlords. Their products are both high quality and cheap. Waterlords national food are seafoods, many seafoods still intrigue tourists. Waterlords received almost 10% of its GDP from its tourism.
