Geography and climate of nation: Fonualei's interior consists mostly of dense tropical rainforest and is sparsely populated. Nearly the entirety of the population lives on the coast, in the towns of Nukupule and Te'emoa. The coastline is primarily flat and swampy with many lagoons. Inland, the country's landscape is characterized by a rocky, volcanic mountainous region. Off the southern tip of the peninsula, there are several volcanic offshore islands including the township of Sapa'ata- the southernmost settlement in Fonualei.
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): Fonualei is an elective monarchy, with the Paramount Chief (king) of Fonualei being elected from the rulers of the several traditional chiefdoms on the island. I think this has potential for future worldbuilding and RP with the possibility of events such as a succession crisis and inter-tribal violence. this will benefit the Savaian region greatly as it opens the possibility for a regional organization to develop and we get to worldbuild fun things like multinational peacekeeping

Language(s): Veleazan, !Quechua, !Aymara
GDP per capita (USD): $15,039 (PPP); $8,717 (nominal)
HDI: 0.752
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): Prior to colonization, Rocia was home to an expansive empire of the !Inca. Centuries of cultural achievements and developments flourished within the empire, but collapsed following invasion and conquest by Veleazan conquistadors. The Viceroyalty of Rocia was established, home to much of Rennekka's eastern coastline. Rocia was the premier Veleazan colony in Rennekka for over 150 years, providing the Veleazan crown with new found wealth and prestige. During the Rennekkan Wars for Independence, the loyalties of the Viceroyalty were split between revolutionaries and loyalists. Various Audiencias switched sides throughout the conflict, prolonging the duration of the conflicts which began in 1797 and ran unto the 1810s/20s. Upon independence, the Union of the Ailliacan and Rocian Republics, commonly known as the Aillaca-Rocia Union, formed out of the territories of the Viceroyalty of Rocia. For half a century, the Union had significant influence over Rennekkan affairs. Growing internal divisions and external threats resulted in the break-up of the Union in 1906, when the current Rocian state was established. It was governed by a mix of conservative, religious, and reactionary parties from independence until the 1940s when a relative wave of liberalism began. Prior to liberalism of the 1940s, Mestizos, Natives, and Black Rocians faced significant restrictions. Many Mestizos with clear Native backgrounds did not have full citizenship, while Natives and Black Rocians were denied citizenship entirely. Conditions improved and the economy grew between 1940 and 1960, but wealth was largely concentrated in coastal, "white" urban centers. A military coup in the 1960s ended liberal reforms and stiffled economic development. The military government faced insurgency among the Native populations in present-day Chawpisuyu. The military government fell in the 1990s and the country transitioned towards democracy. The insurgency was temporary suspended, but a right-wing government in the late 1990s reignited violence after a short period. The election of the left-wing Fernándo Ortolano in 2002 radically transformed the country, which saw a significant reduction in wealth inequality. A ceasefire was negotiated between Ortolano and Chawpisuyu in 2003. The rights for Natives also improved and a new constitution introduced in 2006 significantly improved their standing, making their languages co-official and reducing restrictions on citizenship. A corruption scandal in 2012 resulted in Ortolano's removal from office and the installation of a new right-wing president. This significantly altered the political situation, and pushes towards right-wing economics re-ignited insurgency in Chawpisuyu in 2012. The government has struggled to assert control over the break-away provinces, which have de-facto independence. The country is extremely polarized between the populations that view themselves as white and those that view themselves as Native, with many Mestizos caught between the two. There is still low-intensity skirmishes in contested border regions and the government controversially sponsors right-wing militias to counter the separatists. These militia groups have come under intense criticism for their brutality and violent treatment of rebel and civilian populations.

Despite this, the incumbent president, Guillermo Velazquez, a mestizo, has led the country since 2009. Ideologically a socialist and Batllist, Velazquez has re-ignited Aiyacan support for native resistance in Chawpisaya and has put Aiyaca at the forefront of geopolitical resistance against Rocia's right-wing government.

Language(s): Veleazan
GDP per capita (USD): 17,522
HDI: 0.845
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): History:
-Small native civilisation in the east, a small confederation of !Mapuche and !Chon cities. In the west it's more varied Andean civilisations until the !Incas begin to conquer that area
-Veleazan colonisation. Conquistadors initially take the western part due to !Inca empire falling. Shortly later conquistadors conquer the eastern confederation.
-Largely incorporated into the Viceroyalty of Rocia, though actual control of areas and native peoples is somewhat nebulous outside of forts and cities such as Valcheta. Numerous revolts, but disease and encomienda take their toll.
-Troubles in the 18th century between Mainlanders and Criollos in Rennekka also takes hold in Collicura. In 1781 the Viceroyal system fails and various juntas are formed, some loyal to Veleaz, some wanting more Criollo autonomy, and a few pushing for independence. By 1797 Veleazan control in Rennekka is very tenuous, and the majority of the juntas under the leadership of Lacas agree to Independence, which by 1800 for most juntas is recognised.
-From 1800 to 1906 the First and Second Republics of Collicura exist, largely confined to the eastern portion of modern-day Collicura. In 1906 they take part in a war against Aiyaca-Rocia and annex most of what is now western Collicura. President de la Cavalleria forms the Kingdom of Collicura, which lasts until 1928.
-From 1928 to the present is the current third republic, often known as the Veyenta Republic after the Treaty of Veyenta, which ended the war with Sisimut in Collicura's favour.
Politics and Economy:
Collicura is a Unitary dominant-party presidential republic, and has been since 1928. The Contubernio party (Contubérnio) has been in power since 1928, with allegations of election fraud, rigging etc. Any real opposition to the existing regime largely exists abroad, though opposition to Buhagiar's rule has been growing
The current President is Raúl Buhagiar, who has served since 1990.
Economically I imagine it is going through a slump. While relatively well-developed, it suffers from a great deal of corruption and an increasingly stagnant ruling party. Likely depends upon Sisimut, and now moreso Rocia, for ports and international trade. High income inequality, depressed wages, etc.

HDI: 0.704
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki):
The Sioyan Free State is named after the former largest native tribe that colonists first came into contact with. For millennia it was dominated by Carib native group.
In the 1500’s Veleazan colonialists came into contact with the land. Most of the native population was displaced by colonialists. However the colony was never much of a settler colony; instead the lucrative large sugar plantations that dominated the colonial economy resulted in a huge importation of black slaves into Sioya. For a short period the sugar and slave industry propelled Sioya into one of the most economically productive parts of Rennekka, However this wealth was monopolised amongst the slave-owning elite and Veleaz.
After living standards fell and with the growth of the slave population the few black intellectuals began agitating for independence, eventually leading a slave revolt in 1797 that declared the Sioyan Free State that was ruled by a coalition of mulatto's and blacks. The new state was unrecognised and embargoed as well as politically unstable. After a period of instability lasting into the 1850's the country eventually became dominated by a new black and mulatto landowning elite that created a far more oligarchic state. In the 1920's the elite became more black rather then mulatto but remained oligarchic in character. This remained the case until the 1960’s when after insurgency and peaceful action a mostly peaceful revolution saw the People’s Democratic Movement (MDP) come to power. Since then the MDP has dominated Siyoan politics as the country has embraced industrialisation and both socialist and populist policies. It is within Rennekka more closely aligned with Aiyaca.

Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): Alazor is named after the safflower, which was found extensively along the coast of Alazor. The plant was cultivated by Velezean colonists for its usefulness as a dye for the color yellow. Prior to Veleazean colonization, the geographic area of Alazor was inhabited by various Carib and !Amazonian groups.
Veleazeans arrived to the area in the 1500s. Conquering the native states that existed. Natives were largely enslaved or displaced by the colonists. Organized into the Viceroyalty of New Merida alongside Sioya and TBD. Participated in the Renekkan War of Independence, although the country itself was divided between Loyalists and Patriots. Early independent Alazor was politically unstable, with various strongmen coming into power over the course of the early 19th century. Civilians would first take power in 1874 following the bursting of the Renekkan economic bubble and the mutinies in several army units. This would cause the fragile civilian government to revert back to a dictatorship under the Presidency of Juan Sebastián Montreal, who ruled as president from 1878 until his death in 1904. Democracy was temporarily restored again from 1904 through 1930, before a military coup in 1931 installed Gen. Emiliano Maximiliano Velázquez as president. Velazquez suspended the constitution and ruled the country as a dictatorship. A democratic coup removed Velazquez from power in 1955. Since then, the country has been relatively stable.

Language(s): Veleazan, !Quechua, !Aymara
GDP per capita (USD): $15,039 (PPP); $8,717 (nominal)
HDI: 0.752
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): Prior to colonization, Rocia was home to an expansive empire of the !Inca. Centuries of cultural achievements and developments flourished within the empire, but collapsed following invasion and conquest by Veleazan conquistadors. The Viceroyalty of Rocia was established, home to much of Rennekka's eastern coastline. Rocia was the premier Veleazan colony in Rennekka for over 150 years, providing the Veleazan crown with new found wealth and prestige. During the Rennekkan Wars for Independence, the loyalties of the Viceroyalty were split between revolutionaries and loyalists. Various Audiencias switched sides throughout the conflict, prolonging the duration of the conflicts which began in 1797 and ran unto the 1810s/20s. Upon independence, the Union of the Ailliacan and Rocian Republics, commonly known as the Aillaca-Rocia Union, formed out of the territories of the Viceroyalty of Rocia. For half a century, the Union had significant influence over Rennekkan affairs. Growing internal divisions and external threats resulted in the break-up of the Union in 1906, when the current Rocian state was established. It was governed by a mix of conservative, religious, and reactionary parties from independence until the 1940s when a relative wave of liberalism began. Prior to liberalism of the 1940s, Mestizos, Natives, and Black Rocians faced significant restrictions. Many Mestizos with clear Native backgrounds did not have full citizenship, while Natives and Black Rocians were denied citizenship entirely. Conditions improved and the economy grew between 1940 and 1960, but wealth was largely concentrated in coastal, "white" urban centers. A military coup in the 1960s ended liberal reforms and stiffled economic development. The military government faced insurgency among the Native populations in present-day Chawpisuyu. The military government fell in the 1990s and the country transitioned towards democracy. The insurgency was temporary suspended, but a right-wing government in the late 1990s reignited violence after a short period. The election of the left-wing Fernándo Ortolano in 2002 radically transformed the country, which saw a significant reduction in wealth inequality. A ceasefire was negotiated between Ortolano and Chawpisuyu in 2003. The rights for Natives also improved and a new constitution introduced in 2006 significantly improved their standing, making their languages co-official and reducing restrictions on citizenship. A corruption scandal in 2012 resulted in Ortolano's removal from office and the installation of a new right-wing president. This significantly altered the political situation, and pushes towards right-wing economics re-ignited insurgency in Chawpisuyu in 2012. The government has struggled to assert control over the break-away provinces, which have de-facto independence. The country is extremely polarized between the populations that view themselves as white and those that view themselves as Native, with many Mestizos caught between the two. There is still low-intensity skirmishes in contested border regions and the government controversially sponsors right-wing militias to counter the separatists. These militia groups have come under intense criticism for their brutality and violent treatment of rebel and civilian populations.

Manuel Lacasa leads it and the Aillaca-Rocia Union for much of its early history before succumbing to war and breakup in 1906. Constitution of Aillaca drafted and adopted in 1907, establishing elections for the presidency every seven years. Name changed to Aiyaca in 1921 to disparage colonialism. Throughout the mid-1900s native rights gradually increase, with natives gaining full citizenship in 1965. Historically, Aiyaca has been one of the more democratic nations among the Rennekkan continent, however still struggles with high corruption and a white elite in much of its urban centres. Despite this, the incumbent president, Guillermo Velazquez, a mestizo, has led the country since 2009. Ideologically a socialist and Batllist, Velazquez has re-ignited Aiyacan support for native resistance in Chawpisaya and has put Aiyaca at the forefront of geopolitical resistance against Rocia's right-wing government.

In Rennekka, it's a direct issue to Rocia and said model (notably the indigenous rights part) might cause indirect trouble to other countries.

GDP per capita (USD): 17,522
HDI: 0.845
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): History:
-Small native civilisation in the east, a small confederation of !Mapuche and !Chon cities. In the west it's more varied Andean civilisations until the !Incas begin to conquer that area
-Veleazan colonisation. Conquistadors initially take the western part due to !Inca empire falling. Shortly later conquistadors conquer the eastern confederation.
-Largely incorporated into the Viceroyalty of Rocia, though actual control of areas and native peoples is somewhat nebulous outside of forts and cities such as Valcheta. Numerous revolts, but disease and encomienda take their toll.
-Troubles in the 18th century between Mainlanders and Criollos in Rennekka also takes hold in Collicura. In 1781 the Viceroyal system fails and various juntas are formed, some loyal to Veleaz, some wanting more Criollo autonomy, and a few pushing for independence. By 1797 Veleazan control in Rennekka is very tenuous, and the majority of the juntas under the leadership of Lacas agree to Independence, which by 1800 for most juntas is recognised.
-From 1800 to 1906 the First and Second Republics of Collicura exist, largely confined to the eastern portion of modern-day Collicura. In 1906 they take part in a war against Aiyaca-Rocia and annex most of what is now western Collicura. President de la Cavalleria forms the Kingdom of Collicura, which lasts until 1928.
-From 1928 to the present is the current third republic, often known as the Veyenta Republic after the Treaty of Veyenta, which ended the war with Sisimut in Collicura's favour.
Politics and Economy:
Collicura is a Unitary dominant-party presidential republic, and has been since 1928. The Contubernio party (Contubérnio) has been in power since 1928, with allegations of election fraud, rigging etc. Any real opposition to the existing regime largely exists abroad, though opposition to Buhagiar's rule has been growing
The current President is Raúl Buhagiar, who has served since 1990.
Economically I imagine it is going through a slump. While relatively well-developed, it suffers from a great deal of corruption and an increasingly stagnant ruling party. Likely depends upon Sisimut, and now moreso Rocia, for ports and international trade. High income inequality, depressed wages, etc.

HDI: 0.704
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki):
The Sioyan Free State is named after the former largest native tribe that colonists first came into contact with. For millennia it was dominated by Carib native group.
In the 1500’s Veleazan colonialists came into contact with the land. Most of the native population was displaced by colonialists. However the colony was never much of a settler colony; instead the lucrative large sugar plantations that dominated the colonial economy resulted in a huge importation of black slaves into Sioya. For a short period the sugar and slave industry propelled Sioya into one of the most economically productive parts of Rennekka, However this wealth was monopolised amongst the slave-owning elite and Veleaz.
After living standards fell and with the growth of the slave population the few black intellectuals began agitating for independence, eventually leading a slave revolt in 1797 that declared the Sioyan Free State that was ruled by a coalition of mulatto's and blacks. The new state was unrecognised and embargoed as well as politically unstable. After a period of instability lasting into the 1850's the country eventually became dominated by a new black and mulatto landowning elite that created a far more oligarchic state. In the 1920's the elite became more black rather then mulatto but remained oligarchic in character. This remained the case until the 1960’s when after insurgency and peaceful action a mostly peaceful revolution saw the People’s Democratic Movement (MDP) come to power. Since then the MDP has dominated Siyoan politics as the country has embraced industrialisation and both socialist and populist policies. It is within Rennekka more closely aligned with Aiyaca.

Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): Linavia, officially referred to as the Republic of Linavia (NATIVE NAMES), is a sovereign state in western Savai. It borders Maerdki to the southeast and someone else to the east. Situated on the western coast of northern Savai, Linavia encompasses a large mainland and over 300 islands. The capital city of Linavia is Mahadungkan, which with 19 million inhabitants is also the largest city in the country. At INSERT km squared, Linavia is the largest nation in Savai and its population of over 359 million is one of the largest in the world.
Linavia has been settled by Torangese peoples since the neolithic era, with archaeological traces attesting to a very early presence of people who crossed to Savai from Catai in approximately 60,000 BCE. These peoples eventually developed into the Torangese ethnic family. The Torangese were expert sailors and initially settled primarily in the coastal and riverine areas. Torangese societies were organised into Barangays, a unique sociopolitical grouping based around familial and amical ties that centred upon longhouses and boats in a type of seabourne nomadism. These Barangays eventually grew, with several coming to form something closer to a polity. In the fourteenth century, Navdarism was brought to Linavia by Pouremanian merchants. The religion would spread amongst the peoples of the land, eventually becoming the dominant faith. Colonialism started in the seventeenth century, with trading concessions being set up by many Asuran powers. This eventually would turn to more direct imperialism, with land being annexed during a series of wars between the dominant Pulahayahay Empire and several Asuran powers most notably Liiduria, Veleaz, Atresca and Lhedwin. Despite several uprisings, colonialism would last until after the Great War, when revolutionaries under the Linavian All-People's Army waged a long guerilla war against the foreign powers. Facing massive opposition and losing ground fast, the Asurans came to the negotiating table and Linavia gained its independence in 1910. The LAPA established a multiparty democratic state, based upon principles of regionalism and native tradition which had been suppressed under Asuran rule. Linavia would emerge a united nation, despite several regional independence movements which plagued the state for the first 50 years of its existence, with large populations and material wealth helping to fuel industrialisation and urbanisation.
In the modern day Linavia is a global power in foreign affairs, with one of the world's largest economies and a strong manufacturing base in electronics, textiles and other light and heavy industries. A democratic state, Linavia's unique alignment towards the developing world has seen its formation of a so called "second global axis" with Tangkuo and its meteoric rise has led to an increase in soft power across the globe with its promotion of indigneous rights and self-determination. This has led to opposition from the CPIS and strained international relations. The current President of Linavia is Banjo Alamon of the Fighters for Social Justice.

Geography and climate of nation: Linavia has a varied geography due to its size, but it is dominated by thick jungles, open plains and the Tibu mountains . The climate is tropical, with a dry-wet seasonal cycle and monsoons.
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): Linavia will fill the much-needed role of a great power to counterbalance the currently overwhelming strength of CPIS, similar to the role envisaged for Tagamban but with a stronger nation and in a far less handicapped location. This will permit Linavia power projection and increase intrigue in international relations.
If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?: Lower population
How did you hear about Aeia? idk you tell me
What other nations do you use on NS? Tusing
Roleplay sample (Optional, though required for claiming a more powerful role): You have some
Any other info you wish to add (Optional): RIP Tagamban

Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): Linavia, officially referred to as the Republic of Linavia (NATIVE NAMES), is a sovereign state in western Savai. It borders Maerdki to the southeast and someone else to the east. Situated on the western coast of northern Savai, Linavia encompasses a large mainland and over 300 islands. The capital city of Linavia is Mahadungkan, which with 19 million inhabitants is also the largest city in the country. At INSERT km squared, Linavia is the largest nation in Savai and its population of over 359 million is one of the largest in the world.
Linavia has been settled by Torangese peoples since the neolithic era, with archaeological traces attesting to a very early presence of people who crossed to Savai from Catai in approximately 60,000 BCE. These peoples eventually developed into the Torangese ethnic family. The Torangese were expert sailors and initially settled primarily in the coastal and riverine areas. Torangese societies were organised into Barangays, a unique sociopolitical grouping based around familial and amical ties that centred upon longhouses and boats in a type of seabourne nomadism. These Barangays eventually grew, with several coming to form something closer to a polity. In the fourteenth century, Navdarism was brought to Linavia by Pouremanian merchants.
