Brief background of nation (or IIWiki):The area now called Nathair was settled by a collection of indigenous tribes in the Tetelen family long before colonization, with a complex system of oral and visual traditions dating back hundreds of years. Although each tribe was individual and culturally distinct, the language shared between the groups remained largely the same. During colonization by, most of these tribes either lost their oral tradition or were pushed back into the lake area, known now as the Anguinth region. Cuirpthe took over the coastal areas of the country, effectively controlling the whole region, and began calling it Nathair, after the water-snakes common in the area. The colony provided primarily food to Cuirpthe, in the form of fish. During the Great War, Tagam Jular lead an armed rebellion from the Anguinth region, taking over the coasts and proclaiming neutrality in the war. During the postwar period, there was a period of rebellion by the coastal areas, followed by a crackdown and eventual reunification. Today the country is focused primarily on developing, using a secrete deposit of rare earth minerals as a tool to get this to happen.

Geography and climate of nation:Tropical, featuring bountiful lakes with wildlife enough to support the demands of the populous. Hot enough to grow cash-crops such as sugarcane and vanilla, but has very poor soil from overwork by the native population in order to support an armed rebellion. Filled with both rivers and lakes which
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): Nathair has a collection of rare earth metals held in a particular mine, which is undisclosed and fiercely protected. However, the economy of Nathair is extremely focused upon one source of rare earth metals, and were another nation to flood the market Nathair would likely collapse into starvation not unlike real world Venezuela. Additionally, Nathair does not have an extremely powerful military, so while it can hold its own peace internally, foreign attacks might prove it's undoing.
If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?:Reduce the concentration of rare earth metals, as this is the primary claim to any sort of successful statehood, increase the already sizable amount of corruption around those minerals.
