[New Kvenland]

I understand there's a sudden influx of Atlasian nations right now, many of whom I am friends with, but please don't think I'm part of that. I've been looking for a suitable region for a while now, and finally decided on this one.

Edit: Nothing against them, I'd just rather not be associated with the drama there.

Real life culture of former colonizer: Akkitsukuni
Population: 3,421,857
GDP (PPP) per capita: $24,452
GDP (nominal) per capita: $21,004
Military manpower (active/reserve):
- 29,000 Active
- 37,000 Reserve
Language(s): Kven, several dozen minority languages, Korean
Nation description: Kvenara is a semi-liberal confederation forming a union between two nations: Kvenwutcko, a secluded archipelago, and Khalitaraķ, a nearly uninhabitable peninsula. Both are populated by the Kvenara people, and both were at near-constant war until they were colonized in the 18th century and forced to band together to regain their independence. They've since gained a very prevalent national patriotism, and are very skeptical of international organizations; to date, they've only joined [UN equivalent] and small trade alliances.
Are you willing to drastically alter your nation in order to fit with Tiandi canon?: Yes
Main nation on NS: New Kvenland
Main/puppet/NPC: Main, although I might replace it with a puppet in the future
Link to map claim (optional): Can't draw it on mobile, but I'd like the archipelago to the northeast of Akkitsukuni and the peninsula to the south-southeast of that. (Couldn't find the ethnic map, so sorry if I'm messing that up :S)
How did you find out about Tiandi? (optional): I saw Arumdaum on NSG and decided to stalk him for five minutes, and saw he made this region.

I can provide an RP sample, if necessary.

GDP (nominal) per capita: $8,367
Military manpower (active/reserve): 212,000 active, 380,000 reserves
Language(s): Amharic, Korean, (maybe)Japanese
Nation description: The United Hyeonguk Principality is an absolute elective monarchy. Hyeonguk was colonized by foreign aggressors in it's later, independent years, hardly resembling a NationState but a conglomerate of various tribes. Subjugated or forced into slavery, the natives failed to fend off the colonial powers, thus the influx of new technology and foreign conflicts created an array of much political fiction within the country. This is most prominent today, even as it has gained it's independence long ago. Foreign powers, with little knowledge or consideration for the wide range of complex miniscule geopolitics in the region, effectively drew counties, states, and more, throwing them into the hands of the instituted Hyeongukan Monarchy. The cultural and political clash within the country is strong, before the period of stability today, Hyeonguk was home to several mass killings due to state and county border wars within it's own borders. A small, but strong military attached to counter-terror strikegroups have minimized much of the conflict, but hardly through what is considered just means. United under the military, Prince, the country is stabilized. The Nam Sun Era has been marked with the coronation of Assefa Nam Sun, prophesied to be a long era of internal stability and growth...

NATION APPLICATION

Shortform name: Daeseong
Real life culture influence: Jeju
Real life culture of former colonizer: (if applicable)
Population: 75,000,000
GDP (PPP) per capita: 46,000
GDP (nominal) per capita: 48,000
Military manpower (active/reserve): 410,000
Language(s): 142,000
Nation description: Characterized as more laid-back, efficient, and hardy than their pompous and traditionalist Jeongmian cousins, the Dae people were historically Jeongmian peoples who formed various, small, independent Jeongmian kingdoms independent of the Empire. These small kingdoms resisted incorporation into the Jeongmian Empire through complex alliances, valiant military struggles, and integration of local Jurchen peoples. These kingdoms developed a reputation for being crude and violent in the eyes of the Jeongmian aristocracy, and they developed strong military traditions.

This would later manifest itself in the unification of the Dae kingdoms under [insert great general's name here] who called upon a rhetoric of pan-Jeongmian nationalism to amass a vast army from Jeongmi and the Dae kingdoms, overthrowing the respective warlord kings or liberating Jeongmians from foreign non-Jeongmian Empires in the 19th century. A united Daeseong sought to be united with Jeongmi, but political conflicts and Jeongmi's imperialism led to this initiative being stalled and eventually killed. Furthermore, it was argued that the Dae had developed their own, distinct cultural identity independent of Jeongmi, and merited its own nation.

The Empire of Daeseong was formed under Emperor [insert same great general] who took the new Dae crown with promises to modernize, strengthen, and unite the Dae people. Daeseong soon grow to be strong enough to match the power and influence of Meisaan and Jeongmi on the mainland, and while Daeseong was late to the colonial game, it soon began to embark on a series of aggressive wars against its neighbors, winning small concessions and gobbling up smaller nations.

Current Daeseong is an economically powerful nation in Sinju, with leading roles in the Sinju Union armed forces, central banking system, and diplomatic dialogue. It maintains a large military, with a proud military tradition, and especially to counter Akitsukuni. Daeseong, however, is more socially conservative and xenophobic than its other Sinju Union counterparts, and resents both forming the bulk of Sinju Union Armed forces numbers, taking refugees from Gungju, and being forced to bail out the poorer members of the Union.

NATION APPLICATION

Shortform name: Tungwan (Tùñwan)
Real life culture influence: Mongolian
Real life culture of former colonizer: Chinese
Population: 23 456 051
GDP (PPP) per capita: $7 893 USD
GDP (nominal) per capita: $19 936 USD
Military manpower (active/reserve): 41 096/93 465
Language(s): Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Altai, Chuvash, Tuvan, Tungwani (Same constructed lingua france used by Lupolska)
Nation description: Tungwan is a confederation of various Turco-Mongol tribes organised into ethnicity-based administrative divisions called ordatar (sg. orda). The federal government is minimal, and only functions as the nation's international representative government. The ordatar are generally ruled by theocratic military dictatorships, and since decolonisation these governments have fiercely promoted Tengriism and other native religions. Despite this, there is still a very large Confucian minority in the eastern portion of the nation. Tungwan is plagued by frequent internal conflicts between the ordatar, and has remained largely undeveloped due to this predicament.

How did you find out about Tiandi? (optional): I don't remember

Accepted. Arumdaum will review again, especially land claims. We are getting a lot of strangely large nations in that area for some reason.

While the concept is interesting, it could be problematic to integrate such an unstable nation into the international order. Please discuss on IRC.

Yeah, I agree with everything Aki's said here. I'll put it on the map with the smaller claim.

I thought that non-east asians was 25k? its not like 13k is excessive, especially when i have a fair amount of east asian influence and it was the gdp per capita i'd used last time i was in tiandi with abunya (i had to bump it down that time as well, so im not a fan of having to bump it yet again)
And sure, Meisaan sounds great, since it seems to be the chinese-esque nation.

Language(s): English, Yashimese, some Meisaani in the eastern bits
Nation description:
One of the three sovereign states in the Londrench Isles, Westrock is the most wealthy of the Londrench-speaking states due to an abundance of gold mines and some petrochemical reserves. The modern nation is a product of traditional Londrench feudalism and Sinju-led colonialism. The realm, which belonged to the House Lannister for centuries, was conquered by Akitsukuni in the 1700s during the Sinju conquest of the region, forcefully uniting the former kingdom and incorporating some traditional lands from the eastern Houses as well. After decolonisation, the Lannister lords retook governance of Westrock, implementing an absolute monarchy. Westrock is in fierce competition with the other two Londrench nations for political supremacy in the region, having already attained economic supremacy.

Akitsukuni is a major ally of Westrock and has bases in the country as their military foothold in the region.

Nation description: The Rajanate of Arjunalore is a constitutional monarchy situated on the Arjuni subcontinental landmass in southern Yoju. With a landmass of over 2.5 million squared kilometers, and a population of 252 million, Arjunalore is one of the largest nations in Tiandi by both metrics. Arjunalore is bordered to the north by [xxx], the west by [xxx], the east by [xxx] and the south by [xxx].

Despite being majority Telugu, Arjunalore is nonetheless comprised of several Arjuni ethnic groups, with culturally diverse and heterogeneous populace that comprises more than a dozen major ethnicities. The vast majority of Arjunis are devout Hindus, which is the official state religion. Arjunalore is considered the birthplace of the world's major religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

Arjunalore is a major world and regional power, being the only non-Sinju power in the G5. Arjunalore wields tremendous cultural and diplomatic influence. Arjunalore also has some of the fastest sustained economic growth in the world, with annual growth of 3.4% per annum over a decade. Arjunalore is also a major military power, with a robust military industrial complex and sizable military force.

Arjunalore derives its name from the first Emperor of the Royal Family, Arjun Swaminathan, who first united the disparate Arjuni kingdoms under his rule in the 17th century, just prior to the arrival of Sinju colonizers. The Rajanate's official state position on this etymology has shifted somewhat in the face of demands for pluralism and revisionist scholarship on the legacy of the monarchy, and has offered an alternative explanation including the mythic Vedic warrior, Ajun.
