National information
Official Name: the State of Lorragen
Shortened Name: Lorragen
Requested Location: the area bordering NRZ and SBA
RP Population: 19.71 Million
Culture and Ethnicity: A real world equivalent would be WASP (excluding the P). Lorragen is quite homogeneous, with 92% of the population being white Lorragenians, and another 3% being white non-Lorragenians. It's a very religious country, with a high church attendance rate, most of the country being Catholic. The main language spoken is English, though in some rural areas of the east, Latin is spoken as a first language by around 800,000 people, and in two southern High Councils (the highest administrative division), the Agenian language is taught and spoken by around 1.1 million people.
Government Type: Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy
Head of State: King Julian III
Head of Government: Prime Minister Garret Marston
National Overview: Politically, the nation is made up of three branches - Executive, Judicial and Legislative. The Executive branch, known as the Royal Council, is headed by the King, the Cabinet, and the governors of all 14 High Councils. The Judicial Branch is headed by the Supreme Royal Court, and below it are the various High Council courts. The Legislative branch is made up of the Parliament, comprised of the Royal Congress (Upper House) and the Royal Senate (Lower House). The Prime Minister is appointed by the Congress, and the cabinet is appointed by the Prime Minister. They both need to be accepted by the Senate however. Lorragen has only been a constitutional monarchy since 1879, before that while there was still democratic election, it was effectively an Absolute Monarchy. The country has been ravaged by separatist movements and war, the Civil War from 1810-1817 between Republicans (the Commonwealth) and Monarchists (Loyalists), and the Strafford and Drayton separatists proved this. In 1923, socialist revolutionaries threatened the country and started a second civil war, and as a result the government stayed right-wing for another 40 years.

Official Name: Grand Republic of Monteria

RP Population: ~97,000,000
Culture and Ethnicity: Lusitanian
Government Type: Federal Republic
Head of State: President Santiago Valentino
Head of Government: President Santiago Valentino
National Overview:

The Grand Republic of New Lusitana is a Federal Republic located in Asteria Inferior. It is bordered to the northeast by two nations, those being Thurne and Parche, respectively. New Lusitana is a rather developed nation when compared to other former colonial countries found in Asteria Inferior and Coius. New Lusitana rose out of political revolution much like their neighbors to the north, Asteria, where much of their inspiration for revolution came from. Seeing that a colony could successfully revolt against their colonial overlords emboldened the peoples of New Lusitana to fight their own revolution against Lusitana. The revolution lasted from 1802 to 1811 when the last of the Lusitanian soldiers were pushed off the southern lands of what New Lusitana claimed to be their own.

The Captial of New Lusitana is Bolivaria located on the northern coast of New Lusitana. New Lusitana is an up and coming nationstate but is not without her own strife. Deep in the heart of the Jungles of the Venazu Island the fires of another revolution has raged since 1939. Soon after the Great War the nation of New Lusitana had greatly overextended itself in the war by providing as much support to their ally, Asteria, and poverty mixed with a famine had caused much pain on the island of Venazu. These pains would lead to a socialistic revolution exploding across the island, which New Lusitana claims was given outside support though they have never been able to prove this. But now in 2017 the fires of the revolution have slowly smothered and only small parts of the island are still under rebel control and it seems that peace is on the horizon.

National information
Official Name: The Federal Republic of Arteaga
Shortened Name: Arteaga
Requested Location: In the red. (I edidted the coastline a bit, if that's alright)
RP Population: 72 Million
Culture and Ethnicity: Hispanic and Mestizo
Government Type: Unitary Parliamentary republic
Head of State: President Gustavo Sainz
Head of Government: Prime Minister Teresa Gálvez
National Overview:

'Arteaga' prior to unification was a series of colonial states under the administration of both Lusitana and Anterria. In the late 1780s revolutionary sentiment among the colonials of the eastern coast began to flourish as admiration grew for other revolutionary movements on both the Asterian continent and in Euclea. The idea of "Fraternidad" surfaced in the mid 1790s after being coined by Governor Adrián Lain of Salvador. Lain's ideology advocated for a united state on the northeastern coast of Asteria Inferior, primarily focused on the Salvadorian peninsula. Lain's revolutionary ideas were backed by renowned writer Marco Moya and artist/etcher Talía Dengra. From the 1790s onward the trio released a slew of works advocating for their movement. A group known as the Hermanos de Salvador or Brothers of Salvador sprung up in 1796 and served to further the ideals of Lain, Moya, and Dengra. The revolution began in 1799 after the Alcorta Convention put forth the Arteagan Deceleration of Independence; claiming the colonial states of the Salvadorian Peninsula and the neighboring colony of Rubino as an independent entity from the Lusitana and Anterria. Though the addition of Rubino into their claim was highly debated at the convention due a series of complications, both legal and linguistic,representatives of Rubino believed that 'tagging on' to the revolutionary movement on the Salvadorian peninsula would perhaps (in their eyes) be their only chance for independence.

The Arteagan War of Independence lasted until 1808 and led directly to the formation of the Federal Republic of Arteaga. Arteaga would focus on trade and establishing diplomatic ties with the other newly independent states of Asteria Inferior in order to forward economic growth. Throughout the 1800s the government would lead various campaigns advocating for immigration to the Arteagan States, primarily through accepting refugees of foreign conflicts. A forward stance on personal liberties, education, and national identity as a multi-ethnic nation would help the nation grow throughout the 19th and 20th century.

Today Arteaga is a considered a lesser power in the grand scheme of things, though with a growing economy and a transparent, open, and fair democratic process it is not one that is usually overlooked. Social policies such as Universal Healthcare, Education, and various subsidies and benefits implemented in the 1940-1950s have made life in Arteaga rather appealing. Wealth accumulated from natural resources helped the country steer itself through a period of unsure economic growth in the 19th and 20th century. Most of the manufacturing industry has since been outsourced leaving many rural, uneducated Arteagans with a questionable future as the younger generation seeks higher education to land a job in service/high-tech industries focused in the nation's urban centers. Economic inequality is rather high as is rural unemployment leading to a tense political situation in parliament.

National information
Official Name: The Socialist United States of Risorgimentia
Shortened Name: Risorgimentia
Requested Location: The plot above WCA
RP Population: 23 Million
Culture and Ethnicity: Mostly an Italian ethnicity and culture is very similar to Italian.
Government Type: Socialist Single Party State
Head of State: Umberto Barbosi
Head of Government: Umberto Barbosi
National Overview:

The early history of Risorgimentia (being a colony) remains very flexible for now

Risorgimentia was first inhabited by an Indigenous People with a variety of tribes each with distinct languages and cultures. Colonization began in appoximately 1690 and by 1750 the entirety of modern day Risorgimentia was under the sole jurisdiction of Caesana many of these colonists interbred with the native peoples of Risorgimentia, creating what is seen today by many as a distinct race, known as Mescolato, which makes up approximately 28% of the nation as of 2017. Risorgimentia was one of the last nations in Asteria to throw off her colonial shakles, having only declared independence in 1935 from her colonizers, after a marxist-led revolution.

Modern Risorgimentia is a politically tumultuous place, anti-communist partisans and protesters seem to be omnipresent, the Risorgimentian Mafia, with tendrils reaching deep into the central government, seems to be the most powerful organization in the country. Despite this, Risorgimentia retains a large core of fanatical supporters of Communism, a relatively formidable military in comparison to it's size, and an economy, which, while weak, seems to withstand all the calamities thrown at it, sputtering on like an old but reliable car.

In the future, Risorgimentia will seek to maintain it's precarious position, and attempt to update it's armed forces out of the 1980s and into the modern age, with significant local developments as well as increased imports from the CSS. Geopolitically Risorgimentia would attempt to keep it's independence, sharing an extensive land border with Marirana, backed up by the Federation and DITO, while backing up it's CSS partners wherever possible. A significant problem with drug cartels also infests the nation, potentially spilling out into neighbouring countries.

Requested Location: Sutanel, as we have discussed.
RP Population: 70 million
Culture and Ethnicity: :Not!Iraqi; ethnic groups. (etc, Anbar tribal groups, large divide between Shia Mumins and Sunni mumins, large :NotKurdish:
Government Type: Unitary one party Ba'athist socialist (loosely) state.
Head of State: President Abdul Bismillah Malik (picture source: Either young gaddifi or Saddam Hussein)
Head of Government: Prime Minister Ahmed Zahir
National Overview:
Sauibya is a Ba'athist state located in Badawiya. Sauibya has numerous oil well that it vigorously defends and invest's heavily in the oil industry. Sauibya is not part of PENB, and profited off of the embargo by continuing to sell oil to DITO countries, in order to gain more money for it's treasuries. The country is known as the "gilded cage of Badawyia" due to it's scenic landscape and the fact that the country is relatively wealthy, but deep down beneath the splendor and the secuarlist reforms, the country is a repressive military regime. Opponents of Bismillah and the Sauibya Sunrise party are typically found dead in a ditch somewhere. The country has a dark past with it's neighbors, particulary with Samastra, which the previous theocratic regime attempted to (unsuccessfully) invade along with another unsuccessful invasion by the Ba'athist government to invade Nuranz, which also ended in failure.

Sauibya has a strict foreign policy with it's neighbors, and has warmed up to both Kaxakh and the Federation, but in recent years as leaned towards the Federation and DITO (though it refuses to officially join and the government continues to hold a negative view of "Euclean imperialists) due to it's cooperation with Roselle. Sauibya is, despite it's election of a secularist government, is still a very religious country, and many of it's government figures are devout Mumins. Sauibya is not part of any of the major power blocs, but generally has a favorable view of PENB and tolerates DITO.

National information
Official Name: Teslauchatski National Republic
Shortened Name: Teslauchatski
Requested Location: Location of Teslauchatski.
RP Population: 20 million.
Culture and Ethnicity: Belarus/Albania
Government Type: Socialist Single-Party state.
Head of State: General-Secretary Pytor Rykesk
Head of Government: Deputy-Secretary Ivansky Rykesk
National Overview:
Teslauchatski is a CSS-aligned nation located in Southern Euclea. When a communist revolution in 1919 installed a communist revolution, the young, idealistic Ivan Holoimiv was installed as Premier of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Teslauchatski. Upon getting into power, Holoimiv slowly turned how to be a insane megalomaniac, regularly doing strange and indescribable antics, that mostly made Teslauchatski a embarrassment to the CSS. Holoimiv slowly become more and more detached from Kaxakh. In order to "defend" against "Kaxakh aggression" built a total of 6 million (the population of Teslauchatski at the time) small man-sized bunkers on the border of Teslauchatski, putting Teslauchatski into massive debt. He also had thousands of houses in the capital, Saint Holomivburg in order to build the massive Palace of the Parliament.

Holoimiv's insanity was finally ended when he died on 1972, paving the way for his hopefully more sane successor, Andrei Ravonsky to take power, and then promptly country into a libertarian capitalist playground for himself, having lied to Holoimiv to gain the favored spot for successor, overtaking a officer named Yuri Nikolev. Shortly after, Kaxakh spetnaz units assisted Yuri loyalists to depose Andrei, and place Teslauchatski back into the CSS's sphere. While Teslauchatski's government became more professional for a few years, it quickly became apparent that Yuri was completely and utterly moronic and insane just like his Holoimiv. Yuri was not as insane, but was a "massive ham" and loved making large declarations, constantly ranting about subjects he felt offended by. This would all end in late 2015, where forces of the "Objectivist Army" would rise up, causing chaos around the country. Yuri would in a panic flee the country with his closest advisors, as the country would fall to chaos, with army units and rebels fighting.

This ended abruptly when Kaxakh invaded the country alongside Petrovisk-loyal TVA army units. Bringing the rebellion to heel, Kaxakh installed former Admiral Pytor Rykesk, who in turn installed most of his family members in high positions in order to ensure that Teslauchatski would have a unified government. For once, the government turned out to not be insane, and the current government is intensely loyal to Petrovisk and Kaxakh.

Current Teslauchatski is a surreal place. While the current government exercises control is most of the country, most of the country's military is typically off doing training drills and fighting the remaining rebel groups, who are not overly powerful, but do generally require the military's attention to crush. It is not uncommon to see people in cities aside from the capital calmly walking alongside the street as bandits (who may or may not claim to be "democratic partisians) try to break into stores whose owner's are long dead. Teslauchatski is, as of now, fairly stable, as rebel groups are pushed back into the coastline, getting deadlocked.

National information
Official Name: The Republic of the Nine United Counties of the Hennehouwe
Shortened Name: Hennehouwe, the Hennehouwe, Henneland
Requested Location: Ummm...where it was before?
RP Population: 17,100,000
Culture and Ethnicity: Well, this is where things get complicated. The Hennehouwe is a mono-ethnic state. The people are racially the :NOTdutch of Kylaris. However, culture and language-wise the different counties are diverse. This is reflective of the many large influences at the Hennehouwe's borders.

The most historically powerful group of people are the Hennes, who inhabit the Henneland region. Henneland consists of five marshy counties along the northern coast (two proper counties and three free cities.) They are, in order of population, s'Hol, Zilverzee, Broome, Tulpland and Azuur. The Hennes are an urban people, and traditionally formed the political and economic elite. They followed the Reformed Sotirian faith established by Jan Okes in the mid sixteenth-century, the role of the church has been diminished in modern society - however it is still important.

Another closely related ethnic group to the Henne are the Pal'bauer, who inhabit only one county, called De Paling Eilanden or just De Eilanden. De Paling Eilanden is a small, low-lying and marshy chain of islands known for its tradition of seafaring, piracy and whaling. Many of the United Counties' most famous sailors were from De Paling Eilanden. The Pal'bauer retain their Solarian Catholic faith to this day. The Pal'bauer speak a sister-language to Hennische.

The four inland counties feel the influence of Werania and Gaullica, but still have a distinct culture. The people here are called the Moerasmen and were traditionally thought of as backwards by their rulers in s'Hol. This region (called Moerasland) is boggy like the rest of the country, but also heavily forested (a la Black Forest.) It remains this way to this day, and the four counties are sparsely populated and still intensely rural. A strong folk tradition flourishes here that contains a healthy suspicion of outsiders. Especially the Hennes, who are seen as snobbish. The four counties are Moersebos, Zwartbos, Mistgraafschap and Oudhart. They speak an odd creole of Gaullican, Weranian and Hennische. Religiously they follow a strand of Reformed Sotirianism characterized by much more conservative practices.

Government Type: Confederal Republic. Each County in the Hennehouwe has its own local government and are granted a great degree of autonomy.
Head of State: After the Hennische Revolution the various local Estates convened and drew up the Instrument of Governance which proclaimed the Hennehouwe to be a republic with the Archsteward of the Republic at its helm. However, it was understood that their was only to be an illusion of a republic. The Archstewardship was to always pass to the Count of Azure who was always a descendant of Jan the Loud, great hero of the Revolution. The de facto monarchy was eventually overthrown by its own government. Under the revised Instrument of Governance the Archsteward was stripped of all power and prerogative, which was all restored to the Estates of the Republic.

The Republiks Partie (pro-republic party) of the Hennehouwe does not support the position of the Archsteward. When the Republiks Partie is in power they refuse to elect an Archsteward, as is their prerogative. Often this means their will be no Archsteward. There is currently no Archsteward.

Head of Government: The Head of Government is officially called the Grand Pensionary of the Azure Chamber, often shorted to the Grand Pensionary. When their is no Archsteward the Grand Pensionary is styled as Grand Pensionary of the Azure Chamber and Regent of the Republic. Originally the Archsteward of the Hennehouwe held his court in the Azure Chamber (it was painted the colour Azure in honour of the royal House of Azure, for which the colour takes its name.) The Grand Pensionary was originally a civil servant in charge of the organization of court functions, with no political role. Over time the Grand Pensionary became a powerful role, serving as an unofficial prime minister. When the monarchy was dissolved the Estates moved to the Azure Chamber and they passed an act, codifying the role of the Grand Pensionary as head of government, and leader of the Estates. The current Grand Pensionary is currently Rupert Buys of the Republiks Partie.

National Overview: Traditionally Hennische politics was represented as a dichotomy between the pro-republican, mercantile-based, and progressive Republiks Partie and the pro-Archsteward, conservative, and aristocratic Azuur Partie. With the fall of the House of Azure in the Tulip Revolution that status quo destroyed. Various parties have come to fill the gap left by the Azuur Partie, most notably the fascist Patriots Partie during the Great War. Various smaller conservative parties now fill the gap of the Azuur Partie.

Current Hennische politics is characterized the dominance of the Republiks Partie, who do not conform to a specific ideology. Their ideology could be described as realpolitik (called Goedpolitiek in the Hennehouwe.) They still do represent republican ideals and are consistently more progressive than not. They also tend to represent the commercial interests of the strong Hennische mercantile class. They have held government uninterrupted for the past twenty years. They have their power base almost exclusively in Henneland. The cultural and political dominance of the Hennes has lead to an increase in nationalism in De Paling Eilanden and Moerasland.

The Hennehouwe loosely aligns itself with DITO, however international observers have noted the Hennische propensity to pick and choose the times they will lend their support. This is attributed to the pragmatic nature of the Hennische political establishment. The Hennehouwe was a founding member of the Euclean Community but still maintains its own bank, and currency.

Looks good to me Aden!

Quick question about DITO and EC membership:
-Is Henn in DITO or does it just offer diplomatic support occasionally?
-How recent would it have joined the EC? Currently, we have it penciled in as a founding state (this is obviously open to change). Would it have joined earlier in, say in the 1960s or 70s or more recently, say 1990s or early 2000s? And I know previously it was no a member of the Euclozone, I presume this will still be the case?

-I was hoping that it could be in DITO, but only offer help when it is convenient. If this is unrealistic I can have it so they are neutral, but tend to lean more to DITO.
-All the better if Henn is a founding state, I had completely forgotten about that. It will still be the case.
-I was just poking around the Euclean Community, and I noticed that the Treaty of s'Holle is mentioned in the founding of the Euclean Central Bank. Would it make sense for this nomenclature, considering the Hennehouwe isn't a member of the Euclozone?
