How did you nation rise?

[Augarundus]

The Communist Imperial Reich of Augarundus is descendant of the Holy Empire of Augarundus, which was founded by farmers in extremely ancient times. It was hardened into a warlike culture by unending conflict with Eastern Gratzovka. In the 20th century, a Communist revolution seized hold of the Holy Empire and created an evil dictatorship that exists to this day. It is the geographical equivalent of the Ukraine (not including its massive colony, Augarutzen) and its population exceeds 1.8 billion (this is including the colonies).

[Maurepas]

From NSWiki:

What would become Maurepas was, from 1682 until 1763, divided between the Spanish, who held an outpost at Pensacola as part of their Florida colony, and the French, who garrisoned Mobile as part of the French colony of Louisiana (part of New France).

In the treaty negotiations concluding the Seven Years War(French and Indian War) in 1763, Britain received the Spanish colony of Florida, while France ceded the area of French Louisiana from New Orleans to Apalachicola to Spain.

Meanwhile, German, and American settlers established a foothold in the area and resisted Spanish control. French settlers, who had remained, also resented Spanish rule, and wished to return the territory to French Control leading to the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768, and establishing “Maurepas” on September 23. In the Fall of 1768, Joseph Milhet and Joseph Villere were sent to communities northwest of New Orleans to gather a militia. Pierre Marquis was declared leader of the Louisiana militia, and along with the Commissary for Louisiana under the French, Denis-Nicolas Foucault and the Louisiana attorney general, Chauvin de La Freniere were sent to overthrow the Spanish Governor, who quickly fled to Cuba with his pregnant wife. On July 19, 1769 the Spanish returned to Louisiana with 2,000 soldiers who met Pierre Marquis and the Militia outside New Orleans, with the ensuing battle ending in a route of the Spaniards. In 1819, the administrative capital of Maurepas was moved to Biloxi from New Orleans, following the Adams-Onís Treaty, and Spain’s ceding Florida to the United States.

After the July Revolution of 1830 in France, the Bourbon King, Charles X, established a Government in Exile in Maurepas, still sympathetic to the French Crown. On January 25, 1853, following the accession of Napoleon III and the establishment of the Second French Empire, Henri, comte de Chambord, or Heri V of France, proclaimed himself as Henri I, King of Maurepas, and established the Constitutional Monarchy of Maurepas.

[Eleben]

The Elebeneese scriptures say that the Ancient Elebeneese people were solitary farmers trying to grow crops-much like the Egyptians but without the desert. The religion of Sedera said that the four gods descended from the heavens to make a perfect utopia. Of course, one of the Gods, Crucian, was jealous of his young sister, Eleben, for she was beautiful, kind and controlled nature. So, hate and jealousy spoiled the land.
Anyway, the religion said that the land of Eleben was to extend from the Great River Sarmana in the east to the Crucian Mountains in the west. It stopped at the northern coast and in the south, at the Tropical Forest, which is not part of Eleben.
After that, the Elebeneese were intelligent peoples like the Greeks and Ancient Chineese, and brought forth Mathematics, Engineering and especially Nature.

[Dystopian Polymarchy]

We were nomads, found a town, and killed everyone in it. Then we fought for a ear and they gave us our land.

[Surote]

My nation rose because people who wanted a moderate govt. instead of a capitialist or socialist govt. Move and grew there own govt.

Our first town Suron base now the capital Of the Emirate of Surote.

[Amn Voss]

Amn'Voss's early history is lost in antiquity, but what is known is that it was an Absolute Monarchy for roughly three centuries. About eighty years ago a massive revolution occurred, this revolution was headed by a movement known as the Amn'Voss National Front (A'VNF). The A'VNF, ultimately, won the war and turned the Monarchy into a Fascist dictatorship. For fifty years this dictatorship ruled with an iron fist over every aspect of life in Amn'Voss, that is until they decided to regulate and strangle the corporations which they relied upon to make most of their money. After this occurred PMCs were employed, en masse, by most, if not all, corporations in Amn'Voss and they stormed the capital building and deposed the dictator. It was a amazing because not a single drop of blood was shed and the transaction from repressive dictatorship to free republic was very peaceful and smooth.

An emergency counsel of the corporations was set up and they all decided to allow the people to create a parliament so that they could have a say in how the government was run, so long as the corporations would be influential forces in the nation too. This was the beginning of the Parliament of Amn'Voss and the Executive Board.

After several years of fine-tuning the government of Amn'Voss was up and running and, ever since that time, Amn'Voss has experienced non-stop prosperity and growth ever since.

This was the birth of the Corporatist Republic of Amn'Voss.

[Treznor]

From NSWiki:

Formerly known as the Republic of Drona, a corrupt democracy rife with crime and civil unrest. Devon Treznor organised a resistence movement, promising sweeping social and economic reforms as well as an end to corruption. With the aide of a core group of revolutionaries and a previously unknown cloaking technology, he mounted an assault on major military installations before marching on the capital and taking it for his own.

Two years later, the Empire of Treznor appeared on the international scene with the newly crowned Devon Treznor as Emperor. He spent as much time making deals with international leaders as he did instituting draconian reforms throughout the land. Political freedoms were outlawed and civil rights were crushed. A significant portion of the population fled until the borders could be locked down and order maintained. By the time the dust had settled, an official census showed only a few million citizens were left. Emperor Treznor vowed that they would become the core of a new nation stronger, safer and better than the one they knew before.

You can blame Nathicana for pulling me into Nationstates. She told me about it one night as we were programming new lands and beasties for a MUD, and I began contemplating a nation with characters to act as a foil for hers. The result was a lot of fun.

[New Naggoroth]

New Naggoroth is based on the dark elves of warhammer lore, taken off the original world after nearly ten thousand years having passed from the 'current' time. As such, they're spacedy elves and whatnot, and I have a bunch of plot reasoning behind them not being identical to the actual druchii, and therefor actually playable. I might even write those reasons down, sometime...

[Dagnia]

Our nation started as a group of scientists, inventors, engineers, technocrats and intellectuals who wanted a place to be free from the laws of the weak and stupid. They terraformed a planet in a far corner of the galaxy and settled there. To this day, we welcome these types of people, assuming they can pass a number of tests for intelligence, work ethic and several individualist characteristics.

[Gillenor]

Gillenor was based on a sort of euro slavic region, my people were warriors,inventors,workers but the countrys economy didnt take off until the industrial revolution the the momney came rolling in. Gillenor wasnt called that back then it was called Gyvroreich which was larger then until the late 1800s when the states of serbovakia,eurovakia and spartovakia formed into countrys but are still in the same region as ours.

[Lizardiar]

Lizardiar was created after a revolt against an oppressive warlord. The warlord tried to overtax the peasants, so they rose up.

[Barringtonia]

Most Barringtonians don't even know they are Barringtonians, it's a very loose network of city states and people will generally identify themselves as from a city state.

[Gaiaton]

Gaiaton (which is a FT nation) was formed in 2051 by those in Western Europe who had survived WW3. A parliamentary democracy was built up and for 34 years the Gaiatonese lived in peace, until in 2085 some new super-powerful telekinetic technology was tested by two people, which gave them awesome powers. They took over Gaiaton with their god-like powers and turned it into a theocratic dictatorship.

[Jimanistan]

Jimanistan was formed shortly after the end of the Medievel period, as the sperate kingdoms of Rifirn, Otromo, and Elaith were united under the banner of James the Uniter of Tyrom, who also conquered various outlying territories, such as Nilia and the Seabreeze islands. During James' life, the new nation was simply called 'The Empire of Tyrom'. However, after his death, and during the reigns of a long succession of kings named James, the country became colloquially known as "the Land of James". From here, the name 'Jimanistan' took hold, and stuck, eventually becoming the official name of the nation. Jimanistan existed under a monarchy for a few hundred years, before it was overthrown during the 1930's, when the Kings were supplanted by a socialist democracy, which is still in place today.

[Iansisle]

The earliest known records of the Shieldian people are found in Sentrian records of tribes of barbarians inhabiting the vast oak forests between the River Mans and the Jaizarmarch. Gradually, Sentrian military expeditions into the Shield pacified even the more rebellious northern tribes and their naval expansion began chipping away at the southern boundaries of the great forests. However, as the Sentrian Empire declined, they were forced to rely more and more on locals to administer the provinces. Eventually, a Shieldian army under the Prince of Manbar won a series of victories culminating at the Dalenford. The newly independent Shieldian erarde largely squabbled amongst themselves, consolidated into seven kingdoms, were occasionally invaded, and eventually congealed into a Grand Empire under the leadership of Shadoran. This confederal Grand Empire lasted nearly three hundred years before being toppled by the Gull Flag Revolution, protesting the corruption and corporatism of the old empire. After a brief constitutional monarchy and an attempted insurrection by the crown, the King was executed and a republic declared. Which just about brings us up to the present.

[Vaarshire]

Vaarshire started out as the English colony of Farshire, founded in 1422 AD. During the secong Anglo-Dutch Naval War, Dutch admiral Jan Ten Eyck led a seige on the island and eventually won it from the English in 1666. It was renamed Vaarland, with "Vaar" coming from "Far".

In 1810, during Napoleonic times, a resistance movement to Napoleon's reign over the Netherlands started in Vaarland, with the leader calling himself the "Prince" of Vaarland. This movement eventually removed Napoleon's forces from Vaarland, and from then on it was a tradition for the Vaar people to "elect" a "Prince".

The Dutch government refused to recognize the Princes until 1923, when it gave Vaarland a great degree of autonomy. Vaarland changed its name to the Dutch Autonomous Dominion of Vaarshire, combining the two names of the colony's past. While the Netherlands were still in charge, the Prince of Vaarshire was the leader of the day to day functions of the Vaar government.

In 2008, after a referendum, Vaarshire declared and gained its independence from the Netherlands.

[Zylbedossnia]

In 1919 World War 1 officially ended with the treaty of Versaille. Germany lost 13% of it's land and all of it's colonial empire. Four Independent States were created in addition to this As a result of this Zylbedossnia or Zylbedoßnia in the native language was created The state borders Bavaria. Adopting the Bavarian flag as their own to show the cultural ties that still remain. In 1923 Zylbedoßnia diplomatically merged with two other former German territories elevating the nation to a commonwealth. Later that year Kaiser Otto von Bergenstein IV (ruled: 1921-34) declared war on another former state (The Principality of New Saxony) for reasons that are not quite clear. By 1925 Zylbedoßnia had acheved the Empire status that had been promised to the world. In 1930 von Bergenstein peacefully annexed the former Austrian state of Grusen furthering the Empire.

[Allemonde]

Celtic people from Britain were teleported to an alternate reality of NS to escape the Anglo-Saxons. Later on remmenants of a small group of Indian Buddhists escaped to the reality. They later on merged together.

[Addinav-Ian]

A heavily xenophobical Future Tech NS called Solar Communes(which is my main FT NS[/captain obvious]) located in the Gliese 581 system had a problem for those in its population who were straight males: the fact non-lesbian women were a myth. Then despite all xenophobia, cash spoke higher and eventually elves began to visit it, despite the usual bigotry and prejudice against Xenos, and the fact Solarians weren't dissuaded from doing an Exterminatus, sometimes. Considering between becoming gay or pretending that the few elven women showing interest in them were humans was a though choice, but eventually they preferred the latter... and some of them forgot to switch their contraceptive nano-augs in time.

The offspring of such desperate single men, whose despair and sex drive was greater than their hatred for non-humans, were the first and last generation of Half-elves in Solar Communes, because like mules are sterile, such crossbreed of men and elves also were born sterile because there was no applied phlebotinium to make half-human half-whatever not fall under the consequences of plausible science. Rejected by both of their parents, some of them became emo, while others persevered, and natural evolution did its thing to ensure only the strongest of mind and will among them would not commit suicide, but instead seek their own future. And thus as they were not welcome in their birthplace, they went to spacecrafts and traveled through the Warp(the Warhammer 40k one), where the Artificial Intelligence of their vessel suddenly became self-aware, and seeing their complicated situation(read: Khorne Berzerkers closing in), it strangely though that he was a god named Allah after checking a copy of the Koran in its database, and... he began to teach Islam to the Half-elves, until they found a way to the webway(more WH40k canon-bashing, but it hasn't ended yet).

Then they ended in a planet closer to the nearest edge of the inhabitable zone of an unknown star system, a planet which had temperate weather in the poles and its entire tropical zone covered by deserts. However, although the poles had a far more pleasant temperature, they would soon discover that there were several tectonic plates fragmented beyond a group of three larger plates located roughly in the equatorial and tropical zones, making the subtropical and temperate areas even less hospitable due to constant earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Thus they settled in the desert. Mosques were built, Mujahideens were trained, and a few years later they would build a small space fleet while on surface, turban-wearing half-elves with -insert Sci-fi equivalent of AK-47 here- shouted “Allahu Akbar!” for another demonstration of the power of the Caliphate, ruled by Allah himself, or more exactly, by an artificial intelligence that thinks he is Allah. All of them embrace their human inheritance, considering that Islam was a religion made by human beings, and hope for a day they'll have access to genetic engineering technologies that will allow for them to become fertile again, and to remove all traces of elven blood from themselves.

Does it make sense?

[Kaiser The Llama]

The Empire of KTL was before just a Kingdom. Our armies were strong, but we would never fight another nation, unless attacked. Soon we got many people flocking to our borders, and we grew. We conquered weak lands and grew into an empire. The Kaiserians have always ruled with an iron fist at times, but always knew what the people wanted. Our current Emperor is Kaiserius The XXIII.

[Italia Orientale]

The Democratic Islamic Republic of Italia Orientale rose from the colony of Italian Libya. A large portion of the Italian settlers in Libya converted to Islam and, following Mussolini's rise to power in Italy, joined with the Libyan Arabs in revolt against Italian colonial control. After six years of warfare, Italian Libya won its independence and was renamed Italia Orientale to reflect the union between the Italian settlers and the native Arabs and Berbers. Tripoli was made the capitol and a democratic republic was established in 1928.

[Tranoria]

Tranoria was founded by dragons and a few humans that supported dragons during the medieval dragon extermination.Dragons ruled over humans very badly.The humans rebelled and lost but the dragons gave humans more rights.Then in 1870 they rebelled agian with better tech and won.

[Fictions]

For many years Fictions ran itself as several small self-governing city-states and nomadic tribes up until the 1820s where there was a civil war which ended in the country being united by Terrance Russo under a dictatorship regime that held the country for nearly 200 years. Despite this the country was a very peaceful if backwards nation up until Russo's death in 1855.
During the years that followed the death of Terrance Russo, urbanisation projects were undertaken and the tribes were entirely wiped out, this was to mark the beginning of the end of Fictions' peaceful ways.
Fictions had been isolated for much of it's history keeping itself to itself, until the 1940s where it broke it's isolation and, although it did not take much interest in global affairs, it's economy enjoyed a tremendous boost the new trading opportunities brought, this rise in the economy led to a technological and industrial boom which lead to huge growth and modernisation, Fictions even to this day is a technologically advanced nation. In 2008 there was a civil War started by former Minister of Education Aaron Gracia, the revolution was stopped however and what happened to Gracia is unknown. Before the war ended or the country had time to recover, Fictions entered a Global war because of it's membership to the IFA, Following a nuclear strike, Fictions surrendered and after a brief period of occupation by The Northern Baltic, Anagonia and Whiskeasy, Fictions' Government signed a Treaty that would essentially turn it into a democracy, however this treaty was declared invalid when Fictions agreed to become a protectorate of Anagonia. After an armed uprising by the poor the country was turned into a democracy, however the amount of time it would take the country to get used to democracy was miscalculated and the actual election was badly thought out and chaotic. To this day Fictions is now a democratic Republic of sorts.

[Havensky]

The Kingdom of Havensky was originally the Kingdom of Fourhearts. The Kingdom of Fourhearts was a small nation located on four small islands in The North Pacific. However, with global warming causing more hurricanes and floods - the nation's survival was threatened.

Dr. Evo developed the technology for advanced airships as a way to evacuate the islands quickly if need be. To develop this new kind of airship, Dr. Evo invented the gravity manipulator - which forms the basis for all Havensky Airship Technology.

As the storms grew worse, Dr. Evo created the world's largest airship - the H.R.A. Phronesis in order to have a big enough airship to evacuate as many people as possible. Unfortunetly, the ship wasn't fully completed when a massive hurricane threatened to sink the island chain.

Every available airship was used to evacuate the area.



Prince Drake oversaw the evacuation to the Texas region and started a colony there with the remaining survivors. Meanwhile, Dr. Evo began construction on the first air city, Silver City.



Silver City had a shipyard which was used to construct airships and other aircities. The airship technology provided income for the young nation until it became the respected power it is today.

I like the Minister of Education bit.
