Is your country a country?

Postby Australian rePublic » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:56 pm

Now, you're probably thinking, of coarse it's a nation. That's the point of this game. However that's not what I mean. Yes, you may have a country, but define a country?
Take for example French Polynesia, is that a country? That's a matter of opinion?
What about Kosovo? South Ossetia? The Cook Islands? Sealand? Aerican Empire? Taiwan?
Is the United Kingdom a single country or a collection of three (i.e. England, Scotland and Wales)
Well the answer those is that is it's literarily a matter of opinion
Are there any disputes which mean that your country is recognised by some people/nations but not others?
Are there any historical and/or peaceful reasons for this?
Is it disputable whether your nation is a single nation or a congealment of nations (such as the UK)?
Is your nation recognised as part of a greater nation but a completely autonomous region to the point where it's like its own country (such as Hong Kong)
Is your nation a micro nation?
Is your nation a colony?
Is there anything I've forgotten?
A FEDERATION IS CONSIDERED A SINGLE NATION BY EVERYONE


Australia is a fully recognised nation. It is not disputable whether or not it is a single nation or a congealment of nations, it is not a department (such as French Polynesia) whose national stance is a matter of opinion, it's not an autonomous region and it's certainly not a micro nation. Australia is a federation, but still one single country.
What about your country?

Aikoland is a sovereign state composed of three constituent countries; Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. They are mainly referred to as constituent countries due to the massive cultural and linguistic differences between the three of them. Any devolution of powers to them is extremely limited and mainly relating to them being able to print and do things in their national language. (Like they have the authority to coin and print Aikoland's currency, the din, in their national language)

AHSCA is a full and sovereign nation fully recognized by the international community. Originally AHSCA was an archipelago of no direct ties (save for some historical conquests of each other's lands) but during a full scale invasion of the nation the islands all came together to form a union, with one letter for each island name.

In the first few years of being a federation of states, recognition was slow and still under dispute with some feeling it still belonged to the war time conquers, but gradually it opinion began to shift.

Tödlichebujoku does not exist on Earth, so it doesn't fit the criteria listed in the OP.

Granted, it doesn't actually exist, as far as I know.

But in a Tödlichebujoki view of existence not yet disproved by science, that doesn't mean it can't exist, either.


Upon reading the OP further, it appears that Tödlichebujoku is indeed a nation under the outlined criteria. Recognized by all nations on its planet and by many nations beyond, it is certainly a powerful cultural and economic force.

The People's Republic of Wallenburg is widely recognized as a sovereign, independent country. However, the Empire of Wallenburg refuses to recognize us, rather declaring us armed revolutionary terrorists and traitors against the state. We don't really care, since we have never declared the Revolution complete and we hope to liberate the rest of the Empire in the future.

(The island of) Taiwan is governed by a state called the Republic of China. It has limited recognition, but recognition is recognition; its status as a country is indisputable. Arguably all states have limited recognition; even the PRC doesn't have perfect recognition, since nations that recognize the Republic do not recognize the People's Republic.

It was formed in the name of certain advocacies amongst a mass crowd and later organized into a single state system with claimed territories but has since evolved into a great nation. It is not an island, but it is theorized that the country's land was once separate from its original continent (like India but not theorized) by what is almost like a river but it always met its end. In the end we are united under one banner and one banner only whether we a considered a country or not.

Rhodevus has been considered its own sovereign country since 1717, but has gone through many different phases prior to this universal recognition. Earlier in 1600, Rhodevus was actually multiple colonies from various nations. It was more like a group of multiple close knit countries who traded and worked together in order to survive the horrible Rhodeve winters, and traverse across the wide array of Rhodeve landscape. Each colony was owned by different nations/tribes, and it was not until the failed war for independence in 1705, that the colonies began actually thinking of themselves as one unified country, instead of a large group of colonies.

But, ever since 1717, Rhodevus has been known as its own land

Torato has been an independent nation for a long time. Parts of it used to be British and American commonweaths, but it joined into one unified country in 1903. There is a central, federal government, ruled by a president, and state governments rule underneath it.So yeah, Torato is an independent unfied nation and it has been for about 112 years.

The Dominion was not original considered a country itself, before it's people recognized it as a sovereign state, it was considered a colony of the Roman Empire, although to the people's knowledge from hundreds of years of cut off communication from Rome, hadn't known that the original Empire had fallen, not until their first contact with Spanish explorers which had passed by the previously unknown archipelago during the Mid-16th century, even then 2 other islands in the archipelago were colonized by both Britain and France, both during the Early-18th century, the island of Robertson, named after the British Admiral that had come by the island, David Robertson, and Baudin island after the French explorer, Claude Baudin. Baudin island was forced to be given up to the Dominion as a rightful claim by the former Roman "colony", and Britain also agreed to give up Robertson island as a sign of respect for the people of the Dominion, who still carry on the many practices in religion and architecture, of the old Empire. Thus not just Latin is spoken, but French and English are considered second languages, thus it's not a nation in full unity, but more like a Federated state.

While internationally we are regarded as a single nation, people who live in the DRH tend to Identify with their province as their nationality. This is because at earlier points in history, each province was it's own nation. This makes for confusion because you could take two Hubyars and they could identify as Glisean and Zzahboan. Even more confusing is the fact that we own and inhabit several of our planet's moons, each with it's own unofficial provinces.

Postby Reloria » Fri Jul 03, 2015 1:26 am

The Constitutional Matriarchy of Reloria was originally formed as the Royal Matriarchy of Reloria, via the peaceful union of 12 smaller states under the Matriarchal Unity Treaty of 1305. The royal families of these 12 nations had cooperated peacefully for centuries and were almost all related to each other in some manner, and uniting the crowns was viewed as a logical step forward. The Rocca dynasty, of the most populous and prosperous nation of Nucélterral, led a new, united Reloria.

This occurred so long ago, and has been so stable since, that there are no real questions as to the legitimacy of the union, and the 12 'old nations' are now termed gramitaéusé instead, a word that translates most closely to 'counties'. Despite being little more than administrative divisions in modern Reloria, their prior 'statehood' forgotten by most entirely, a handful of people have joined independence movements. The largest of these is in the gramitaéuse of Pliégialato, which has always been a little separated from the rest of Reloria. Even here, however, the movement is considered to reside firmly in the fringes of politics.

Even if one of these independence movements gained any real traction with the public, the 1305 treaty did not include a process for secession, which would make it legally tricky for a government to accomplish.
