Please post at least one RP post (can be link or written out there, you only need to do one, but doing more increases your chances of being accepted):
Diplomatic RP: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopi ... 5&t=367221 I'd just like to let you guys know I am kind of awful at these haha I've done a few but I think this may be my best.
Military RP: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopi ... 5&t=355107 <-- Probably my best so far. I sadly do not have much experience RPing but would live to get better. https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopi ... 5&t=360528 https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopi ... 5&t=365718

How much time do you spend on this account and NS?: Not really sure... while I was in an RPing region I'd say maybe 1-2 hours a day + getting on my phone to check and chat on the RMB.

If so, what is the link?: (This is so you can be added to the region’s wiki) I had one but it is very outdated and was a far-fetched idea me and my friends were planning out. It didn't last long, but I can create a new IIWiki page if needed.

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 Atlas

General National Information

Formal Nation Name: People's Republic of Bahtar
National Demonym: Bahtari
Nation Population: 30.9 Million

Please give a brief description of your climate and geography: Bahtar is a country dominated by endless deserts, a tiny coastline and savannahs in the center all areas. We have a warm temperature and a very arid climate and some parts of Bahtar suffer from lack of water. Heat-waves are not uncommon in Bahtar and happens quite often.

Please give a brief description of your national ethnicities and culture: Bahtar is predominantly an Afro-Arab nation with some Arabs mixed into the population. To put it into perspective, 87% of Bahtaris are Afro Arab while 10% are Arab inhabitants spread around the nation. The remaining 3% are the 'others' which are mostly Asian immigrants. Since Bahtar's official religion is Islam and Sharia Law is practised (though Sharia Law does not apply to non-Muslims) westerners are not a common sight in Bahtar.

Please give a brief description of your national history: Bahtar started as a tribe of Hunter-gatherers who bound together against other tribes and groups in 1020s A.D.. 120 years after the tribal federation was founded in 1140s, the tribes eventually settled down by the coast and founded a city called Kana'. Their small settlement eventually grew into a town and into a city, many, many years after the city-state was first founded. The city-state grew into a military power and started to attack and annex the tribes and independent towns that dotted near to their territory.

The small city state grew into a Kingdom which prevailed until 1968, when a Coup d'etat transformed the country into a democratic People's Republic which is what Bahtar is until today.

Hi,

All your stats look fine. The only thing I'm concerned about is the lack of a lot of rp samples.

However, if you complete this short prompt satisfactorarily, everything should be fine.

The long wars end prompt

The war had started so well: a chance to regain national pride, extend the borders, enrich the people...and for a while it had gone well. The nation quickly gained allies in various others: discontented minorities willing to fight their own governments made up a majority of them, but their were also states intent on the gaining of such things as land and oil that saw your expantionist cause as one they could cherish and participate in.
But then the tide began to turn, and the great powers of the world turned their wrath upon you, quickly driving your forces back.

What happened next isn't really important, because this is an rp prompt and not canon. However, the forces of 7 nations are camped outide your capital, a capital being fiercely yet hopelessly resisted by the remenants of your army and hastily armed citizenry.

I took it to mean that in the second question, he was counting reserve and active numbers as the same.

80+20+.4=100.4

He only states 100

Defensive Checkpoint 01
Central Kinsella

The African air brushed the face of Colonel Robert Mnangagwa. Mixed in the air was the smell of blood and fumes from the fires that raged all over the capital city of Kinsella. A few armed civilians and some soldiers stood on a makeshift barricade in the middle of the city. The coalition's forces were besieging the capital city and the last defenders were spread out thinly around the city. Destroyed Leopard 1 tanks were spread around the streets along with dead soldiers. The defenders watched out from their barricade made of mostly wooden furniture and some sandbags here and there.

Suddenly, a militamen brandishing a pistol tapped the Colonel on the back. "Colonel Mnangagwa! Get down!" he shouted. The colonel was about to speak when the sound of artillery firing made him get down. The shells hit and dirt, shrapnel and rubble flew about the streets. "They're coming!" shouted another militaman. The colonel got to his feet and saw a big cloud of thick black smoke in front of the road they were guarding. "What do you mean by 'they are comi-'" The colonel's question was cut short by the sound of shouting.

He glanced back and saw a coalition tank accompanied with a squad of soldiers break through the cover of the smoke! "Fire at will!" he shouted. Gunfire errupted all round the Colonel as militamen and soldiers fought a losing battle against the invading coalition forces.

Time started to slow as he saw the soldiers he commanded get shot to pieces by the machinegun of the tank. Many tried to run but were cut down by the enemy fire. No! No! This could not be happening! This is a dream! All of this is! He thought with fear, regret and sorrow. A tear began to run down his cheek. He began to cry. He began to weep for his once great country. At the corner of his eye, he saw the tank run through the barricade and soldiers accompanied it.

The same militiamen with the pistol from earlier bumped into the Colonel. "Colonel Mnangagwa! We have to retreat to the second line of defense, quickly!" he shouted. "No." The colonel said sternly. He knew that no matter what, Kinsella would fall. He brushed off the militamen and reached for an anti-tank grenade in his pocket.

"This is for the blood of those who fought to protect Bahtar!" he shouted as he ran towards the tank with the grenade in hand. BANG. BANG. BANG. the Colonel dropped on the road with the grenade in hand. Just several meters from the tank. The grenade exploded and the Colonel blew up into a mass of blood and gore. The coalition forces just walked past and continued fighting.

Presidential Palace
Kinsella Hill

The Supreme Leader watched as the air turned black with ashes and fire. Gunfire raged on below him in the city. Many people have died to bring glory to their country. Now it stands destroyed and dilapidated. he thought. This was all my fault. guilty thoughts raced through his mind. A palace guard walked into his office which was one of the still intact rooms of the palace. "Supreme Leader, coalition forces are getting ever closer to your palace. You should escape via the presiential helicopter!" said the guard.

The Supreme Leader sighed. "Take your men and escape. I have done horrible things, and I will pay the price." he said. The guard was taken aback by what the Supreme Leader said. But he nodded and walked away. He looked at the Supreme Leader for one last time before taking his men to the helicopters.

The Supreme Leader just sat there and wrote another entry into his diary before closing it and waited for the inevitable.

Is this okay? If it's not enough I'm willing to do more.

The same militiamen with the pistol from earlier bumped into the Colonel. "Colonel Mnangagwa! We have to retreat to the second line of defense, quickly!" he shouted. "No." The colonel said sternly. He knew that no matter what, Kinsella would fall. He brushed off the militamen and reached for an anti-tank grenade in his pocket.

"This is for the blood of those who fought to protect Bahtar!" he shouted as he ran towards the tank with the grenade in hand. BANG. BANG. BANG. the Colonel dropped on the road with the grenade in hand. Just several meters from the tank. The grenade exploded and the Colonel blew up into a mass of blood and gore. The coalition forces just walked past and continued fighting.

Presidential Palace
Kinsella Hill

The Supreme Leader watched as the air turned black with ashes and fire. Gunfire raged on below him in the city. Many people have died to bring glory to their country. Now it stands destroyed and dilapidated. he thought. This was all my fault. guilty thoughts raced through his mind. A palace guard walked into his office which was one of the still intact rooms of the palace. "Supreme Leader, coalition forces are getting ever closer to your palace. You should escape via the presiential helicopter!" said the guard.

The Supreme Leader sighed. "Take your men and escape. I have done horrible things, and I will pay the price." he said. The guard was taken aback by what the Supreme Leader said. But he nodded and walked away. He looked at the Supreme Leader for one last time before taking his men to the helicopters.

The Supreme Leader just sat there and wrote another entry into his diary before closing it and waited for the inevitable.

Is this okay? If it's not enough I'm willing to do more.

It's great.

Defensive Checkpoint 01
Central Kinsella

The African air brushed the face of Colonel Robert Mnangagwa. Mixed in the air was the smell of blood and fumes from the fires that raged all over the capital city of Kinsella. A few armed civilians and some soldiers stood on a makeshift barricade in the middle of the city. The coalition's forces were besieging the capital city and the last defenders were spread out thinly around the city. Destroyed Leopard 1 tanks were spread around the streets along with dead soldiers. The defenders watched out from their barricade made of mostly wooden furniture and some sandbags here and there.

Suddenly, a militamen brandishing a pistol tapped the Colonel on the back. "Colonel Mnangagwa! Get down!" he shouted. The colonel was about to speak when the sound of artillery firing made him get down. The shells hit and dirt, shrapnel and rubble flew about the streets. "They're coming!" shouted another militaman. The colonel got to his feet and saw a big cloud of thick black smoke in front of the road they were guarding. "What do you mean by 'they are comi-'" The colonel's question was cut short by the sound of shouting.

He glanced back and saw a coalition tank accompanied with a squad of soldiers break through the cover of the smoke! "Fire at will!" he shouted. Gunfire errupted all round the Colonel as militamen and soldiers fought a losing battle against the invading coalition forces.

Time started to slow as he saw the soldiers he commanded get shot to pieces by the machinegun of the tank. Many tried to run but were cut down by the enemy fire. No! No! This could not be happening! This is a dream! All of this is! He thought with fear, regret and sorrow. A tear began to run down his cheek. He began to cry. He began to weep for his once great country. At the corner of his eye, he saw the tank run through the barricade and soldiers accompanied it.

The same militiamen with the pistol from earlier bumped into the Colonel. "Colonel Mnangagwa! We have to retreat to the second line of defense, quickly!" he shouted. "No." The colonel said sternly.

A request made to the Founder, Executive President and Minister of Recruitment to allow the below nation to enter the region of Atlas

---

General National Information

Formal Nation Name: Achalana
National Demonym: Achalanian
Nation Population: 28,937,737 (estimate due to likely altered census data)

Please give a brief description of your climate and geography:
Achalana is primarily a plains nation, although there are mountains along one border of the country. The most notable natural feature is a massive lake that forms the border opposite to the mountains, and provides the country with minimal port services.

Please give a brief description of your national ethnicities and culture:
Achalana is ethnically very similar to South Africa, although with a larger white upper class. The white upper class lives in relative comfort, operating a thriving tourism economy based around resorts in the mountains and on the plains. The much poorer black lower class lives mostly subvervient to the upper class, and is significantly disadvantaged in economic terms. Needless to say, there are significant problems with race inequality, and this causes infrequent rioting.

Please give a brief description of your national history:
Pretty much, Achalana was colonized by somebody, who then opressed the native peoples into slavery. Foreign abolition movements eventually led to the abolition of slavery, although a state eerily similar to Apartheid did exist until relatively recently.

[Glanodel]

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 Atlas

---

General National Information

Formal Nation Name: Crowned Republic of Glanodel
National Demonym: Glenish (From Glanodel, language), Glen (People)
Nation Population: 2,683,900

Please give a brief description of your climate and geography:
Glanodel comprises the land north of the mountain range Norfeld and east of Skogkläddaberg. The rugged coastline, broken by huge fjords and thousands of islands, stretches nearly 83,000 kilometres (52,000 mi) including fjords and islands. Much of the southern regions of the country are dominated by mountainous or high terrain, with a great variety of natural features caused by prehistoric glaciers and varied topography, while the interior is mostly grasslands and fens (bogs). The most noticeable of its natural features are probably its fjords: deep grooves cut into the land flooded by the sea following the end of the Ice Age. Frozen ground can be found all year long in the higher mountain areas along Norfeld which stretches from the Northeast corner of the country to the southwest corner. The land is mostly made of hard granite and gneiss rock, but slate, sandstone, and limestone are also common, and the lowest elevations contain marine deposits. The whole of Glanodel lies in the boreal zone, characterized by warm summers and freezing winters. With coastal territories subject to both oceanic and gulf water currents and inland areas blocked from such effects by mountains, the temperateness varies considerably between the western and northern coastal regions and the east and southeast inlands, showing characteristics of both a maritime and a continental climate. Glanodel receives consistent warm currents along its coasts which combine with the moderating effects of the sea to the north resulting in the unusually warm climate compared with other regions that share the same latitude. The interior provinces receive mostly warm weather as well, which has a climate well suited for agriculture. The rest of Glanodel's climate is suitable for cereal farming only in the southernmost regions, while the northern regions are suitable for animal husbandry.

Please give a brief description of your national ethnicities and culture:
Like many far northern countries, Glanodel is an historically homogeneous nation. However, in recent decades the country has been transformed from a nation of net emigration to a nation of net immigration, which has resulted in its recent push for globalization. There are no official statistics on ethnic groups, but according to 2015 figures from the Census Bureau, approximately 88% of Glanodel's population was of direct Glenish descent, defined as having at least one parent who was born in Glanodel and has Glenish citizenship. Among the commonly accepted traits of those with the closest genetic ties to native Glens are having light-coloured hair, light-coloured eyes, fair skin, long and narrow skulls, and tall stature. One common trait among many native Glens which is even referred to at times as "Glenish hair" is having platinum blonde hair, or being "towheaded". In fact, the belief that most Glens have very light blonde hair is not entirely false considering roughly 56% of Glens have very light blonde hair, and around 20% have hair that is almost white. The second most common hair color being red or auburn. Freckles are also a very common trait among native Glens.

Glenish is the de facto national language of Glanodel and the official language of the Crowned Republic. A large majority (86%) of Glens speak a second language, though though secondary languages vary by region and the foreign cultures which they most frequency trade with. In January 2015, 27% of the population of Glanodel were members of the Church of Glanodel (Den Glensk Folkekirke), which is Forn Sudthr in tradition.

Commonly associated with its passion for the arts and cultural pursuits, Glanodel is often viewed as being in a constant state of cultural renaissance by many of the tourists who visit. Most believe that culture and the arts in Glanodel thrive as a result of the proportionately high amount of government funding they receive, much of which is administered by local authorities so as to involve citizens directly. Thanks to a system of grants, Glenish artists are able to devote themselves to their work while museums, theatres, and film institutes receive national support, along with support from private "arts institutions" which, themselves, are supported by both public and private funds. Perhaps the most recognizable cultural products that come from Glanodel are its literature, movies, and television. Glenish writers have earned numerous international awards and many have been given recognition around the world in several countries. Cinema and television have also flourished with the assistance of public funding and have, in recent years, received heavy public funding, as well.

Please give a brief description of your national history:
Due to both the harsh environment of the region and the migratory habits of the region’s earliest, permanent inhabitants, there is limited remaining evidence to provide insight into the early humans of prehistoric Glanodel. The Allerød oscillation, a warm period around the 13th millennium BCE which caused many ice sheets to recede throughout the world, allowed the rise of the first permanent inhabitants of the region, the Vafic culture. During the 5th millennium BCE, Sigva peoples (descendants of the Akkinn) learned pottery from neighboring cultures to the south and as this technology spreads to the northern cultures, the Hildga and Artag peoples, the Sigva begins to cultivate land and local domestication of animals begins. The region joined the Bronze Age relatively late, mainly acquiring the needed technology through trade. Despite this, numerous sites exist across Glanodel which present well preserved objects made of wool, wood, and imported metals (bronze and gold). After the death of a priest named Addindir in 475 just, his religious work known as the Thu'um ("The Voice"), would gain notoriety among followers of the common religious practitioners. By the 6th century, increasingly influential religious groups formed throughout the local region. By 554, an estimated half of the population had adopted the beliefs of the movement and by 580, the nobility agreed to adopt the new system of beliefs as the state religion. By the end of the 6th century, Forn Sidthr or the "Old Custom", had become the most commonly used among the Norvan people to refer to the religion. The 7th century saw the rise of the first ætts, or "clans", groups of multiple families with tenth generation familial ties or closer relations, as well as numerous other social structures in Norvan culture, such as its class system. By the 9th century, trade routes to nations throughout the Arctic Circle had become firmly established and efforts to establish regular trade routes with more southern countries were underway.

Though there is not an absolute consensus, it is believed that the concept of Glenìdæl as a blanket term for this region arose sometime during this period, probably between the 9th and 11th century. The origins of the term Glenìdæl are believed to be derived from a word commonly used by foreigners when in reference to the Norvan people, glenhilings. Roughly translating to "people of the valleys", most historians believe this term was popularized by the "???" people. This is because many ??? often used the term glenh ("valley") was commonly used to refer to Glenish fjords at the time. By the mid-13th century, the term Glenìdæl first appeared, roughly translating to "the dells of the Glens" (or Glenish People). The Glenish region would not be united, however, until the 15th century after a 113 years long conflict between 1292 and 1405 known as the the Rauðmál (international spelling: Rauthmál), or the "Red Era." Most historians believe the conflict was started by the jarls of the petty kingdoms in response to growing fear that the Kingdom of Glanodel was proliferating forces with the intention of invading its neighbors. While this has never been confirmed either way, the ensuing conflict resulted in the deaths of over 250,000 Glens in total before its end. The Rauthmál saw a rapid evolution of military technology and warfare in general. The war also precipitated the creation of the first standing armies in Glanodel composed largely of commoners, as well as numerous social and political changes such as the expansion of women's roles in Glenish society and the transforming of Glanodel into the unitary state it had become by the 1400s. The end of the Rauthmál saw the beginning of the Glenish Renaissance which lasted between the 16th and 17th century, whereby numerous cultural, political, scientific and artistic movements swept across Glenish society. Industrialization came to Glanodel in the second half of the 19th century. Since the 20th century, Glanodel has slowly transformed into the progressive, liberal, social democracy that it is today through the enacting of numerous social policies like the legalization of gender-neutral marriage, abortion, and social saftey-net policies.

Roleplaying

Both of these posts are from previous roleplays with other nations in another region that I just copied and pasted here. Hope that's ok.

President Storm had finally finished speaking, shaking hands, and having a picture taken with a citizen as each of the 3 expected delegates arrived at the hotel. He gave the citizen one last smile and waved to them as they departed his company, making their way over to the counter where most people checked in. The lobby was massive, at least the size of 2 football fields, and the President and his security detail were towards the upper right side, near a large set of stairs that led straight back into the building. Off to the left, at the center of the building was a similar, though much larger set of stairs, which most people seemed to using, but these set, behind the president, seemed only sparsely used, and each individual who was using them seemed to be of some importance, and did not have the hier about them that gave one the impression they were here for pleasure.

The security detail closed in on the area, sealing off the area for a moment, and motioning for the entire group of dignitaries and assistants to basically form a line in front of the president so that he could greet them all at once. Once he could see them all he smiled and stepped forward to shake everyone's hand, if that was appropriate for their nation's customs as he said, "Welcome, thank you for coming." Once finished shaking hands, he took a step back as he also motioned over with his hands to several people who were standing nearby. These people, all women, stepped forward and handed the primary delegates among the group (Amar Khaladiyya, Andrew Azad, Kegesha Malakto), and then turned to the president as if waiting. As they did so, the president spoke up again.

"Please take these gifts from our country. You are welcome to keep them after you depart from Glanodel, but for the time being, it will make it easier for not only our security team is always able to find you, no matter what happens, but it also has the plans for your stay here in our country," said the president as the 3 people who handed the devices over translated into the language of the person they handed devices to. The president held up his own device as he spoke, showing the screen to the group. The devices were all about 4 inches wide and 8 inches long, just a little larger than the average cell phone. They were completely touch screen, with the exception of a small button at the very bottom. What part of the device that was the slick, well polished, plastic, black screen, was sleek, aluminum alloy, giving the device a little weight to it, but no heavier than a few D batteries. "Additionally," added the president as he touched the button on his device and his assistants continued to translate. The device woke up to the touch and revealed a web browser page logged onto a website called "Book Me Now". "Here you can access any website regarding possible events you might want to participate in, such as the upcoming fodbold game or the Glenish Film Institute's film festival at Diana Park. The devices also have access to privileged access to certain reservations, giving you priority status when booking anything. Anything you do while here is completely complementary as well, and please, do not hesitate to ask for assistance. Also, the devices have GPS, so they can also help you find where you need to go."

The president then waited, watching the assistants finish translating. Once the assistants all stopped speaking and then turned to look at the president, Storm continued. "Now. In the devices, you will also see the itinerary. At the moment, the meeting is scheduled to occur at 10:00 am, local time, in 3 days, at the Offices of International Relations and Embassy Affairs, the headquarters of the Glenish Department of State. The meeting will, for the moment, only include you who are present, myself, my Secretary of State Keld Bloch, and my Ambassador General Mariane Henriksen. The location is programmed into your devices. Between now and then, you are all welcome to do as you please. Any food you order through room service or at the hotel will be complementary, and the devices can be used to cover any expenses you have outside the hotel. When you need transportation, simply call the front desk and let them know. They will arrange for a limousine to pick you up at the front doors. Are there any questions, comments, concerns before I have to ask to be excused?" he said, ending with a smile and look over the group, having a few meetings to attend to finish the preparations for the conference.

New Cypru Offshore Combat Zone, about 1,500 Kilometers off the coast of New Cypru; 1325 (01:25 AM), 3 April 2017
Admiral Hartmann stood at the bridge of the aircraft carrier CRVS Sumiholm, the flagship of the 3rd Fleet. "I want every bird we have in the air! I want subs in position for Infiltration," she barked as sailors ran about performing their duties and following orders. Infiltration, or more specifically referred to as Operation Infiltration, was the first major, in-combat use of the cyber weapons that Glanodel had based off of the technology used in AERSIP Program. Thanks mostly due to TerraSave's use of the program against its creator, Glanodel had to reinvent most of its security measures and even spent a great deal of time innovating the technology itself. Now it was time to see if it paid off.

The operation was fairly simple, though not necessarily easy. While it was assumed that all the communications between ships was probably satellite based, like most modern naval ships/fleets, this essentially allowed the fleets to operate on a closed, intranetwork, like the Glenish Navy does. This being the case, physical access to the network is required, as in they need to connect via a hardline into the network of the opposing fleets network. So, 2 squadrons of submarines, each consisting of five vessels, as well as 2 heli-wings, consisting of 6 combat helicopters and a heli-carrier, would aim for 2 different enemy vessels. Small, outskirting, and less armed ships would be the targets. Submarines would launch forces first, with "submer-pods" being released first. Once free of the submarines, they would inflate like an raft and float to the top. Once at the top, they would be opened and the 6 men inside would be positioned to scale the sides of the ships with specialized equipment. Once onboard, the infiltration units would first be tasked with covertly taking eliminating the main guns of the ships. After that, these infiltration units would move on to those manning all other offensive and defensive arms of the ships, eliminating those who fought back, and restraining and watching everyone who surrendered. As the other guns were taken, the helicarriers would approach the ships and paratroopers would drop down onto the ships. These units carried the equipment used to infect the ships networks. These units would meet up with the submarine units and then make their way through the ship and to the bridge.

Once the ships were secured, the specialists trained on how to use the newest cyberweapon known as AEV-DK 35 (Automated Electronic Weapons - Digital Communications Model 35). Once physical access to the network of the ships was established, all the teams had to do was plug into the systems aboard the ship, hack the firewalls protecting their network, and then inject the program. Once it was injected, communications would essentially cease as passwords were changed, server data was corrupted, and possibly, currently accessed satellites were infected, causing the satellites to no longer respond to requests for information. Anyone accessing these infected satellites would also become infected and the only way for onboard networks to avoid becoming infected would be to disconnect from the primary network, essentially cutting off the ability of each ship to communicate in any modern capacity.

This, of course, all hinged on whether or not the infiltration teams could get to the ship and managed to secure at least one of them.

But while all of this was being conducted, the rest of the 3rd Fleet was still more than capable of being a distraction and even a detriment to the rest of the Coop fleet. The remaining wings were quickly mobilized and met the jets of the enemy forces head on. The battleships of the fleet would prepare to protect the carriers as massive, explosive rounds were fired at any enemy ship in range. All the while, cover spray of several dozens of small explosive rounds were released almost continually to try and prevent enemy ships from landing a good blow. Within a few hours, Glanodel had lost 3 ships, and 2 more were rendered useless, only able to flee and hope to escape the battle, though its additional personnel were evacuated to nearby ships.

Fòsfòrowo Base, Eastern Coopanonva, Western Regica; 0315 (3:35 AM), 3 April 2017
Marhsal Lauritzen, both of the Special Operations Corps, and Fleet Admiral Johansen of the Glenish Navy were both evacuated from the Regican fronts almost immediately as news spread of the war, but Sergeant Major Haugaard remained to order the troops. The Corps was now ready to take the fight to the encroaching Coopanonvan forces.

As news of the beginning of the Coopanonvan invasion of Regica spread across the small nation, the Glenish forces stationed at the Fòsfòrowo Base only a few miles east of the border was alerted. Being well within striking distance, the jets were mobilized and heli-carriers were in the air, loaded with several hundred paratroopers. The plan was to drop troops just behind enemy forces and use shocktroop tactics to cut supply lines and disable any heavy machinery/weaponry/vehicles bringing up the rear of the enemy march.

About 350 Kilometres off the coast of Regica; 15:32 (3:32 PM), 3 April 2017
Having spent all their time since arriving to the shores of Regica, Glenish forces had the area fairly well fortified and was prepared. Just as the Coopanonvan forces, Glenish jets screeched across the sky leaving trails of smoke as they swiftly approached their targets.

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 Atlas

General National Information

Formal Nation Name: Crowned Republic of Glanodel
National Demonym: Glenish (From Glanodel, language), Glen (People)
Nation Population: 2,683,900

Please give a brief description of your climate and geography:
Glanodel comprises the land north of the mountain range Norfeld and east of Skogkläddaberg. The rugged coastline, broken by huge fjords and thousands of islands, stretches nearly 83,000 kilometres (52,000 mi) including fjords and islands. Much of the southern regions of the country are dominated by mountainous or high terrain, with a great variety of natural features caused by prehistoric glaciers and varied topography, while the interior is mostly grasslands and fens (bogs). The most noticeable of its natural features are probably its fjords: deep grooves cut into the land flooded by the sea following the end of the Ice Age. Frozen ground can be found all year long in the higher mountain areas along Norfeld which stretches from the Northeast corner of the country to the southwest corner. The land is mostly made of hard granite and gneiss rock, but slate, sandstone, and limestone are also common, and the lowest elevations contain marine deposits. The whole of Glanodel lies in the boreal zone, characterized by warm summers and freezing winters. With coastal territories subject to both oceanic and gulf water currents and inland areas blocked from such effects by mountains, the temperateness varies considerably between the western and northern coastal regions and the east and southeast inlands, showing characteristics of both a maritime and a continental climate. Glanodel receives consistent warm currents along its coasts which combine with the moderating effects of the sea to the north resulting in the unusually warm climate compared with other regions that share the same latitude. The interior provinces receive mostly warm weather as well, which has a climate well suited for agriculture. The rest of Glanodel's climate is suitable for cereal farming only in the southernmost regions, while the northern regions are suitable for animal husbandry.

Please give a brief description of your national ethnicities and culture:
Like many far northern countries, Glanodel is an historically homogeneous nation. However, in recent decades the country has been transformed from a nation of net emigration to a nation of net immigration, which has resulted in its recent push for globalization. There are no official statistics on ethnic groups, but according to 2015 figures from the Census Bureau, approximately 88% of Glanodel's population was of direct Glenish descent, defined as having at least one parent who was born in Glanodel and has Glenish citizenship. Among the commonly accepted traits of those with the closest genetic ties to native Glens are having light-coloured hair, light-coloured eyes, fair skin, long and narrow skulls, and tall stature. One common trait among many native Glens which is even referred to at times as "Glenish hair" is having platinum blonde hair, or being "towheaded". In fact, the belief that most Glens have very light blonde hair is not entirely false considering roughly 56% of Glens have very light blonde hair, and around 20% have hair that is almost white. The second most common hair color being red or auburn. Freckles are also a very common trait among native Glens.

Glenish is the de facto national language of Glanodel and the official language of the Crowned Republic. A large majority (86%) of Glens speak a second language, though though secondary languages vary by region and the foreign cultures which they most frequency trade with. In January 2015, 27% of the population of Glanodel were members of the Church of Glanodel (Den Glensk Folkekirke), which is Forn Sudthr in tradition.

Commonly associated with its passion for the arts and cultural pursuits, Glanodel is often viewed as being in a constant state of cultural renaissance by many of the tourists who visit. Most believe that culture and the arts in Glanodel thrive as a result of the proportionately high amount of government funding they receive, much of which is administered by local authorities so as to involve citizens directly. Thanks to a system of grants, Glenish artists are able to devote themselves to their work while museums, theatres, and film institutes receive national support, along with support from private "arts institutions" which, themselves, are supported by both public and private funds. Perhaps the most recognizable cultural products that come from Glanodel are its literature, movies, and television. Glenish writers have earned numerous international awards and many have been given recognition around the world in several countries. Cinema and television have also flourished with the assistance of public funding and have, in recent years, received heavy public funding, as well.

Please give a brief description of your national history:
Due to both the harsh environment of the region and the migratory habits of the region’s earliest, permanent inhabitants, there is limited remaining evidence to provide insight into the early humans of prehistoric Glanodel. The Allerød oscillation, a warm period around the 13th millennium BCE which caused many ice sheets to recede throughout the world, allowed the rise of the first permanent inhabitants of the region, the Vafic culture. During the 5th millennium BCE, Sigva peoples (descendants of the Akkinn) learned pottery from neighboring cultures to the south and as this technology spreads to the northern cultures, the Hildga and Artag peoples, the Sigva begins to cultivate land and local domestication of animals begins. The region joined the Bronze Age relatively late, mainly acquiring the needed technology through trade. Despite this, numerous sites exist across Glanodel which present well preserved objects made of wool, wood, and imported metals (bronze and gold). After the death of a priest named Addindir in 475 just, his religious work known as the Thu'um ("The Voice"), would gain notoriety among followers of the common religious practitioners. By the 6th century, increasingly influential religious groups formed throughout the local region. By 554, an estimated half of the population had adopted the beliefs of the movement and by 580, the nobility agreed to adopt the new system of beliefs as the state religion. By the end of the 6th century, Forn Sidthr or the "Old Custom", had become the most commonly used among the Norvan people to refer to the religion. The 7th century saw the rise of the first ætts, or "clans", groups of multiple families with tenth generation familial ties or closer relations, as well as numerous other social structures in Norvan culture, such as its class system. By the 9th century, trade routes to nations throughout the Arctic Circle had become firmly established and efforts to establish regular trade routes with more southern countries were underway.

Though there is not an absolute consensus, it is believed that the concept of Glenìdæl as a blanket term for this region arose sometime during this period, probably between the 9th and 11th century. The origins of the term Glenìdæl are believed to be derived from a word commonly used by foreigners when in reference to the Norvan people, glenhilings. Roughly translating to "people of the valleys", most historians believe this term was popularized by the "???" people. This is because many ??? often used the term glenh ("valley") was commonly used to refer to Glenish fjords at the time. By the mid-13th century, the term Glenìdæl first appeared, roughly translating to "the dells of the Glens" (or Glenish People). The Glenish region would not be united, however, until the 15th century after a 113 years long conflict between 1292 and 1405 known as the the Rauðmál (international spelling: Rauthmál), or the "Red Era." Most historians believe the conflict was started by the jarls of the petty kingdoms in response to growing fear that the Kingdom of Glanodel was proliferating forces with the intention of invading its neighbors. While this has never been confirmed either way, the ensuing conflict resulted in the deaths of over 250,000 Glens in total before its end. The Rauthmál saw a rapid evolution of military technology and warfare in general. The war also precipitated the creation of the first standing armies in Glanodel composed largely of commoners, as well as numerous social and political changes such as the expansion of women's roles in Glenish society and the transforming of Glanodel into the unitary state it had become by the 1400s. The end of the Rauthmál saw the beginning of the Glenish Renaissance which lasted between the 16th and 17th century, whereby numerous cultural, political, scientific and artistic movements swept across Glenish society. Industrialization came to Glanodel in the second half of the 19th century. Since the 20th century, Glanodel has slowly transformed into the progressive, liberal, social democracy that it is today through the enacting of numerous social policies like the legalization of gender-neutral marriage, abortion, and social saftey-net policies.

Roleplaying

Both of these posts are from previous roleplays with other nations in another region that I just copied and pasted here. Hope that's ok.

President Storm had finally finished speaking, shaking hands, and having a picture taken with a citizen as each of the 3 expected delegates arrived at the hotel. He gave the citizen one last smile and waved to them as they departed his company, making their way over to the counter where most people checked in. The lobby was massive, at least the size of 2 football fields, and the President and his security detail were towards the upper right side, near a large set of stairs that led straight back into the building. Off to the left, at the center of the building was a similar, though much larger set of stairs, which most people seemed to using, but these set, behind the president, seemed only sparsely used, and each individual who was using them seemed to be of some importance, and did not have the hier about them that gave one the impression they were here for pleasure.

The security detail closed in on the area, sealing off the area for a moment, and motioning for the entire group of dignitaries and assistants to basically form a line in front of the president so that he could greet them all at once. Once he could see them all he smiled and stepped forward to shake everyone's hand, if that was appropriate for their nation's customs as he said, "Welcome, thank you for coming." Once finished shaking hands, he took a step back as he also motioned over with his hands to several people who were standing nearby. These people, all women, stepped forward and handed the primary delegates among the group (Amar Khaladiyya, Andrew Azad, Kegesha Malakto), and then turned to the president as if waiting. As they did so, the president spoke up again.

You are welcome to keep them after you depart from Glanodel, but for the time being, it will make it easier for not only our security team is always able to find you, no matter what happens, but it also has the plans for your stay here in our country," said the president as the 3 people who handed the devices over translated into the language of the person they handed devices to. The president held up his own device as he spoke, showing the screen to the group. The devices were all about 4 inches wide and 8 inches long, just a little larger than the average cell phone. They were completely touch screen, with the exception of a small button at the very bottom. What part of the device that was the slick, well polished, plastic, black screen, was sleek, aluminum alloy, giving the device a little weight to it, but no heavier than a few D batteries. "Additionally," added the president as he touched the button on his device and his assistants continued to translate. The device woke up to the touch and revealed a web browser page logged onto a website called "Book Me Now". "Here you can access any website regarding possible events you might want to participate in, such as the upcoming fodbold game or the Glenish Film Institute's film festival at Diana Park. The devices also have access to privileged access to certain reservations, giving you priority status when booking anything. Anything you do while here is completely complementary as well, and please, do not hesitate to ask for assistance. Also, the devices have GPS, so they can also help you find where you need to go."

New Cypru Offshore Combat Zone, about 1,500 Kilometers off the coast of New Cypru; 1325 (01:25 AM), 3 April 2017
Admiral Hartmann stood at the bridge of the aircraft carrier CRVS Sumiholm, the flagship of the 3rd Fleet. "I want every bird we have in the air! I want subs in position for Infiltration," she barked as sailors ran about performing their duties and following orders. Infiltration, or more specifically referred to as Operation Infiltration, was the first major, in-combat use of the cyber weapons that Glanodel had based off of the technology used in AERSIP Program.

Once onboard, the infiltration units would first be tasked with covertly taking eliminating the main guns of the ships. After that, these infiltration units would move on to those manning all other offensive and defensive arms of the ships, eliminating those who fought back, and restraining and watching everyone who surrendered. As the other guns were taken, the helicarriers would approach the ships and paratroopers would drop down onto the ships. These units carried the equipment used to infect the ships networks. These units would meet up with the submarine units and then make their way through the ship and to the bridge.

Once the ships were secured, the specialists trained on how to use the newest cyberweapon known as AEV-DK 35 (Automated Electronic Weapons - Digital Communications Model 35). Once physical access to the network of the ships was established, all the teams had to do was plug into the systems aboard the ship, hack the firewalls protecting their network, and then inject the program. Once it was injected, communications would essentially cease as passwords were changed, server data was corrupted, and possibly, currently accessed satellites were infected, causing the satellites to no longer respond to requests for information. Anyone accessing these infected satellites would also become infected and the only way for onboard networks to avoid becoming infected would be to disconnect from the primary network, essentially cutting off the ability of each ship to communicate in any modern capacity.

This, of course, all hinged on whether or not the infiltration teams could get to the ship and managed to secure at least one of them.

But while all of this was being conducted, the rest of the 3rd Fleet was still more than capable of being a distraction and even a detriment to the rest of the Coop fleet. The remaining wings were quickly mobilized and met the jets of the enemy forces head on. The battleships of the fleet would prepare to protect the carriers as massive, explosive rounds were fired at any enemy ship in range. All the while, cover spray of several dozens of small explosive rounds were released almost continually to try and prevent enemy ships from landing a good blow. Within a few hours, Glanodel had lost 3 ships, and 2 more were rendered useless, only able to flee and hope to escape the battle, though its additional personnel were evacuated to nearby ships.

Fòsfòrowo Base, Eastern Coopanonva, Western Regica; 0315 (3:35 AM), 3 April 2017
Marhsal Lauritzen, both of the Special Operations Corps, and Fleet Admiral Johansen of the Glenish Navy were both evacuated from the Regican fronts almost immediately as news spread of the war, but Sergeant Major Haugaard remained to order the troops. The Corps was now ready to take the fight to the encroaching Coopanonvan forces.

As news of the beginning of the Coopanonvan invasion of Regica spread across the small nation, the Glenish forces stationed at the Fòsfòrowo Base only a few miles east of the border was alerted. Being well within striking distance, the jets were mobilized and heli-carriers were in the air, loaded with several hundred paratroopers. The plan was to drop troops just behind enemy forces and use shocktroop tactics to cut supply lines and disable any heavy machinery/weaponry/vehicles bringing up the rear of the enemy march.

About 350 Kilometres off the coast of Regica; 15:32 (3:32 PM), 3 April 2017
Having spent all their time since arriving to the shores of Regica, Glenish forces had the area fairly well fortified and was prepared. Just as the Coopanonvan forces, Glenish jets screeched across the sky leaving trails of smoke as they swiftly approached their targets.

As for IC, I usually prefer to play the support role when it comes to global politics and military. At the same time, I like to be seen by other nations as like a center for culture, a prime tourist destination, and one of the economic capitals of the world.

I really hope the ORBAT for my military is ok? I've done anything that in depth on my military because its military prowess has never been a focus of my nation.

Your rp quality is extremely good, and so I feel no need to give you a prompt. Please could you provide us with Information regarding your previous nations and moderation history?
Moderation history refers to your history with the nationStates moderators: warnings, bans, nation deletions and such, rather than your experience as a moderator.

While I have no authority in this matter, I'd like to ask you a question on realism- why have Glanodel be equipped with biplanes when the rest of your military has modern tech?

Haha, yeah. I totally spaced on that lol. My bad. The only other nation I've played on is Villeron, but I don't anymore. I believe it's actually ceased to exist. As far as moderation history goes, I've never been disciplined by the moderators here or anywhere else in the NS community. I've never been kicked out a region or banned or anything like that.

To be honest, I was just basing it off of what it said in a wikipedia article about Sweden, but I think it was a historical account of their old ORBAT during WWII. So I'll be updating that later. They have a modern Air Force with fighter jets and all that. Like I said in the application, military isn't my nation's focus, so I've never paid that much attention to its specifics.
