National information
Official Name: Kingdom of Andurne
Shortened Name: Andurne
Requested Location: The land to the south east of PRC or preferably the island further to the south west
RP Population: 36,753,900 but I might raise it depending on how land I'm claiming is.
Culture and Ethnicity: If you can imagine a mix between post-apartheid South Africa/Rhodesia, Australia, and Guyana then you're on the right track... There are influences from Britain, native Amerindian culture, and former African slaves.
The only official languages are English and Adurna creole. Uniquely among south American countries a large white minority exists from the age of colonization. This does not come from just the slightly above average number of settlers between discovery and release, but also the unfortunate fact that a lot of natives died off from diseases they had no defenses from. Additionally a large number of freed slaves emigrated back to Africa or neighboring nations that did not have apartheid. Ethnically the population is made up from 20% White (mostly British), 50.5% Black (mostly descended from freed slaves), 20% mixed race (White/Amerindian or white/black for the most part), and around 9.5% Amerindian.
Government Type: Federal constitutional monarchy.

Unfortunately it was just applied for but the other blank spaces near it work fine for you, I assume. Only problem is that it's the !New World, so !African influences would have to be by slave trade type stuff or by some weird hashing of the natives.

[Adurnak]

Ah okay, I'll edit the Africa stuff
New world as in the Americas or completely new world?

[Lunas Legion]

Ah okay, I'll edit the Africa stuff

Americas.

[Alleniana]

Hmm, that's two recent apartheiders...

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Influences from Bahia would make sense in a lot of places in the Arucian and Asteria Inferior, as a lot of them had cash crop economies and in turn pretty extensive slavery (or so we would assume, based on climate, resources typically available, and real world application).

So that would work out well, and it can easily explain the oppression of the former slave class. That's been a struggle in a lot of the Americas, so that could be an interesting thing to see RP'd.

My main thing is the name, personally. Something a little more Anglicized along the lines of Adurne, Adunria, Adurna, etc. would be preferable in my view.

To add, would you like to be an Arucian Isle or on mainland Asteria Inferior? I would also like to add that island is still open, as Waz's app for it was not accepted.

Official Name: Republica Socialistă Sulâră | (In Estmerish) The Socialist Republic of Sulare| (In Kaxakh) Социалистическая Республика Сулаpe
Shortened Name: Sulâresca | Sulare
Flag:

Requested Location: The current location of Chescera
RP Population: 22 million
Culture and Ethnicity: Romanian is the real world equivalent in all mentioned cases
Government Type: Single Party State with a Syndicalist Legislature.
Head of State: Premier Andrei Vasile
Head of Government: Director Marin Nicolescu
National Overview: The Socialist Republic of Sulare, founded after a union-backed revolution on June 18th, 1921, is a Federal Republic in its structure, but a massive bureaucracy in practice with the Congress of Syndicates electing it's Director every six years and the Premier every ten years. All parties besides the Uniunea Socialistă Sulâră (Romanian Socialist Union) are restricted from participating in elections, though some interest groups, chiefly unrepresented unions can endorse candidates. A national referendum can be called with two thirds support from the Congress of Syndicates, allowing all Sularic citizens to vote, provided that they are over twenty years of age. There are two years of mandatory service before citizens are entitled to higher education between the ages of 18-20. The nation has nationalized all significant industries, and while individuals can open small businesses, they are legally considered property of the state. In foreign affairs the country is heavily aligned with the Revolutionary Socialist Republic of Kaxakh, being a member of the CSS, and had opted in to the Alliance of its own will on October 19th, 1926. A notable oil producer, the Sularic government has a law in place ensuring that all national oil needs are met before exporting, with a trade preference leaning towards CSS member states and Socialist countries, or, to a lesser degree countries with a Socialist party in power, however, this law is often ignored for being vague when more profit can be made from exports to other countries. The average Sularic person tends to be pro-government, especially at a younger age and as Sularic citizens get older as it provides universal healthcare, education, and social securities to all citizens. The country also zones areas as historic sites, research sites, and nature preserves and protects them highly, this is partially due to the National Zoning Committee being run historically and presently by environmentalists since the 1990s, but this has led to industry in the country being slightly restricted, and the country having highly concentrated industrial areas, that are in stark contrast to the natural preserves in their appearance, being urban jungles with only occasional parks and typically no beaches. The economy is fairly well developed and growing, but falls behind in certain technological sectors. The Sularic people are obsessed with space travel, and for many of them the space race has never ended, however, they are restricted in resources, so while they have a decent number of satellites in space, and in the 1980s and 90s conducted two successful manned space flights for scientific studies, they have been unable to progress much further on their own and rely on Kaxakh resources and technology to help themselves whenever they run into logistical problems.

[Ezelis]

Official Name: The Democratic State of Ezelis
Shortened Name: Ezelis
Requested Location: Former Pwania
RP Population: About 160 million.
Culture and Ethnicity: The culture and ethnic groups of Ezelis are primarily based off of South Africa, but with the Otti (Estonians) taking the place of Afrikaaners and the Gaullicans the place of the British. Together, Bahians make up 74% of the population, significantly outnumbering white settlers in the region. The majority of the remainder are Otti, who make up around 13% of the population, Gaullicans at 5%, and mixed-race individuals, making up around 6%. For most of Vredlandia's history, the Otti were entirely unaccepted within the borders of the Vredlandian empire, and oppressed by the Weranian majority. However, in 1732 a government-sponsored expedition arrived in Ezelis and established a small colony along the coast. Soon enough, they discovered that nearby valleys provided the perfect environment for sugar cultivation, and recognized the potential for profit. Despite this, few Weranians held any desire to abandon their comfortable lives for an uncertain existence in a foreign land, especially while the native Bahian population, who already occupied these valleys, resisted any incursions harshly. Vredlandia, sensing an opportunity, conducted a mass deportation of the Otti population, seizing a large amount of valuable Otti lands for themselves while providing a source of labor for the new sugar plantations in the colony. Soon, however, Vredlandia began experiencing significant economic problems. In order to alleviate them, Vredlandia sold the colony to Gaullica, which proceeded to rule over it until granting independence it in 1952.
Government Type: Unitary Parliamentary Democracy. However, the nation struggles heavily with corruption, had only one major party until very recently (Though no bans were placed on other parties), only cast off apartheid three decades ago, and some of its leaders have exhibited authoritarian tendencies; thus, it is not entirely free. I'd give it somewhere around a 6 or so on the Democracy Index. Similar to RL Erdogan's Turkey. However, Vanhanin's Freedom Party has taken significant steps to combat this and is more committed to the ideals of democracy than earlier regimes, although it has failed to address either economic or de facto racial inequality.
Head of State/Government: Prime Minister Henrick Vanhanin.
National Overview: Ezelis is a third-world country currently in the process of reorganizing its economy under a more capitalist, liberal system. Under the administration of Henrick Vanhanin's libertarian Ezéli Freedom Party, the country has drastically stepped up exports with the help of foreign investment. There is significant economic inequality which has not been remedied since Ezelis attained its independence in 1936, a result of many kleptocratic administrations and a failure by the government to provide basic services to its people. Poverty is particularly rampant among the black population of Ezelis, who are less well-off than the white minority.
Factbook: I haven't finished one, but here's a very rough draft that I've started working on.

National Overview: The nation of Hennehouwe, as it exists today was founded in New Years Day 1379 in the city of Heinyis (Zilverzee isn't a good name, if you get butthurt tho I'll keep it ) by delegates from the 9 Provinces of Hennehouwe rebelling against the Gaullicans. Under the leadership of the Prince of Azure, Hans II, the Hennish Revolution lasted for 4 years, climaxing at the Battle of Sebaldburen, the final battle of the conflict which ended with the Gaullicans being expelled from Hennehouwe. However, the Republic constantly dealed with groups such as the Prinzists (monarchist, conservative supporters of Hans II) and the Staatists, the liberal, republican and pro-merchantist party. The Staatists held power for much of the early 1500's to the late 1600's. During this time, mercantilism policies existed in Hennehouwe and the nation even founded a colonial company, Koloniaal Overzee Organisatie van Hennehouwe, known more commonly as the KOOH or simply KOH.

Requested Location: isthmus in asteria, as previously discussed
RP Population: 33,403,729
Culture and Ethnicity: Composed roughly equally of Italian, English, and Cherokee ethnic groups. The major culture is an English-dominated culture with Italian influences, while the Cherokee ethnic groups choose to isolate themselves and their culture from that of the settlers. The Italian and English speaking peoples speak with the Australian dialects of their respective languages.

History: The Council of Five arose to power in response to heavy foreign influence in the country as a result of its control of the Asterian Strait. The council rose to power after a bloodless coup of the former government and set up the system of government best suited in their minds to galvanizing national progress and patriotism. The nation has since expanded its military and forged an alliance with [tbd] to safeguard its sovereignty and its control of the strait.

[Ezelis]

Official Name: The Democratic Republic of Western Bahia
Shortened Name: Nyumbane
Requested Location: Former Pwania
RP Population: About 160 million.
Culture and Ethnicity: Overwhelmingly Bahian. The population consists of a mixture of !Swahili-speaking ethnic groups, divided into four major tribes.
Government Type: Mixture of a dictatorship and an oligarchy, with the President often vying for power with the Executive Council of the Bahian Workers' Party. Ideologically, it is pan-Bahian Socialist, with an ideology similar to that of Baathism IRL (Though not Arab).
Head of State/Government: President Tamrat Kayode
National Overview: Nyumbane is a third-world country that won its independence from Gaullica at the end of the Great War, when the Allies forcibly liberated Gaullica's overseas territories. Throughout the phoney war, it maintained close relations with Kaxakh, upon which it relied for its continued survival; Kaxakhi arms shipments and financial backing propped up the country against internal rebellion and allowed the Worker's Party of Bahia to maintain power. Upon the collapse of the first CSS, however, the Worker's Party quickly realized that placing all its eggs in one basket was an unwise strategy, and declined to enter the reformed alliance as a full member, instead becoming an observer. The country has spent the past few decades attempting to build ties with Songguo, and is an observer member within the QTO. Recently, Songguo and Kaxakh have been striving for dominance over Nyumbane, with the country's political leadership playing them off against each other in an attempt to gain political and economic backing from both.

National Overview: The nation of Zilava has been a single-party socialist governed nation ever since the formation of the Commonwealth of Socialist States in the aftermath of the Great War, in 1937. It's culture and entire society has in recent been affected heavily by the rule of socialism over the nation. Certain aspects of culture, in terms of say the culinary world have been intentionally impacted little, but have still been impacted due to other social and economic lack of goods and generally just natural cultural evolution. In terms of social life, a sense of communal strength is heavily pushed, as is the ideal that one should make sacrifices for the good of the group. Clothing choices for example remain unchanged throughout the decades.

This is cool. Only issues I can think of are

So how did a regime that relied on Kaxakhi arms and money survive the collapse of the CSS? That could use some clarification- was there a North Korea-esque period of difficulty or something and reforms, or what? Also, if they've been a QTO observer for decades, eventually QTO is going to get annoyed about the fact that Nyumbane is still trying to have its cake and eat it too in terms of blocs and start using a stick as well as a carrot. It's certainly very interesting and I'd be excited to see it play out in RPing.

On an unrelated front, how do you suppose your relationship would be with Hyndana, QTO's other principal power, which is governed by a communist party that has sorta gone down the path of RL China towards state capitalism? I imagine doctrinal differences might become a serious issue between the two parties, if you're trying to position yourself as a QTO observer, so that might be worth discussing with Hannover and considering yourself.

I would also like to raise an issue with the name "Western Bahia", given that the name is not geographically correct and in all honesty, I would prefer a more African based name.
