RP Sample is good, however I would check the Lhedwinic countries that are colonials or hold external areas, most importantly Navack and Crylante. The brief background needs working to actually work within the bounds of our canon. For reference, I'd recommend taking more time to work out your canon. Also a recommendation to reduce HDI and GDP is recommended. I am ready to accept but because of the extreme difference in independent canon which contrasts with regional canon, I will withhold my acceptance until further notice.

IC nation name: Serene Republic of Veruza
Capital: Polstratis
Government type: Trade republic with theocratic elements
RP population: 52,380,000
Ethnic Group(s): Chalcian, Syrunian, !Etruscan, Berber
Language(s): Chalcian, Syrunian and !Etruscan
GDP per capita (USD): 14,598
HDI: 0.787
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): Veruza is first controlled by Iranic berber peoples, under a (((Caliphate))) throughout antiquity. It is then colonized by Chalcian city-states who colonize the coastal areas and settle down. It is later controlled by Fiorentinian Empire until it as overrun by these Irsadists around 450. They continued to dominate in several wars with former Fiorentine legions and Chalcian merchants, but a large genocide between 980 and 981 results in most being purged. When the crusades occurred the area of Cebragas/Veruza was controlled by holy orders and Asuran kingdoms, but by the time the crusades had finished Veruza and Cebragas became separate crusader states. Veruza continued like this, with evolving cultures continuing to dominate in the territory. It was added to Aquidneck in the 1600s, but it's independence remained de facto in place as a result of large crusader orders and traders continuing to own and rule the land. By the early 20th century Aquidish control had eroded, and while numerous nations attempted to grab Veruza at the time they failed. The Veruzan Principalities was declared in 1907, followed by Nationalist Cebragas annexxing the area. It gained independence as the Kingdom of Polstratis in 1934. In 1960, communists overthrew the government, but with the support of Cebragas and the international community, they were finally defeated in 1966. The modern-day Serene Republic, an intensely conservative government, came into power and ruled from Polstratis and Darethynes until now.
Map claim (Imgur): A sizable area directly east of Cebragas, as well as that little Sinai place across the Suez canal north of Kazhwir.

Geography and climate of nation: Hot, mediterranean coastlines, but deep within the nation is a vast, hot desert. Arid in the center.

Hi, Belad! I am personally ok with your current GDP, and varying it from 31mil to 30mil wouldnt be such a big change. Basically i agree with everything Sükh said, specially regarding the name. We strongly suggest you to consider changing it, but it is up to you. Anyway, here is your second approval! Welcome to Aeia (x2)!

Given that the islands are at the very core of what was the Midrasian colonial empire, I find it hard to see Newrey taking them at the time that the empire was at its apex, however if it were the other way around, originally being Newreyan, then conquered by Midrasia around the turn of the 19th century then it would probably work a lot better with mine and Newrey's existing histories.

Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): The Leidene Republic, as it is officially called, is normally shortened to Leiden. Leiden is a Constituent Federalist Republic made up of three different constituencies. The island of Leiden, the island of Borculo, and the island of Kijkuit are grouped together as the Leidene Archipelago. The Constituency of Bunschoten on the mainland make the second constituency. The final constituency is named Liefden, located in the Columbion Sea. The country is run by a federal republic where elections take place every six years without a renewable term. The history of the country has been somewhat tumultuous, as it used to be seen as a rich small country, and is now seen as a site of history and tourism, however has seen problematic administration. Geopolitically, it’s been at odds with its closer Alemannic neighbors across the strait, and has engaged in frequent wars over the sovereignty of Bunschoten, or as it is referred to otherwise as Ungerecht.

For the sake of public reference, I'm summarizing here the things I originally suggested to you:

The population of the application is a bit too high, even comparatively speaking. My suggestion was to reduce your population to below or around your neighbor Qyred's level. The closer to Qyred, the steeper the reduction in your GDPPC would be, while decreasing your population below Qyred would bring you closer to keeping your applied GDPPC.

This is a matter of preference as the overall result is still the same. Let me know on here when you get a chance to make these changes and I'll get back to you.

In terms of specific changes, given the points I made to you earlier (I'll post them below): if it's at all possible i'd like to shift my population to something similar to 107,345,000, only slightly higher than Qyred's while putting my GDPPC down from $24,500 to something similar to $13,500? How does all that sound?

Although if possible i'd like for the population to be just a bit higher than Qyred's — you mentioned that it be better for Main accounts to have higher populations or just be stronger overall (that's the vibe I got at least correct me if i'm wrong!), but if possible i'd really like to orient it so that this Multi is more of my "powerhouse" as opposed to Ovandera (I was planning on worsening Ovan's position actually after Wàhngjāu was implemented)

[The Solarian States]

IC nation name: Inistaria
Capital: Rosenburg

RP population: 9.219 Million
Ethnic Group(s): Lhedwinic, Asuran,
Language(s): Rosenian (Dialect of Swedish)
GDP per capita (USD): 39,721
HDI: 0.887
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): In 52 CE Human Settlers first arrived on the Island nation from Asura. They landed at Port Azure named after the continent of Asura. They regarded the nation as Mountainous with a humid temperature. They had imported Cows and Sheep which provided them with Food. They remained relatively uninterrupted for many years establishing a Monarchy and exploring the island. They were first contacted by a Lhedwinic Nation Who mapped down the island and left shortly after. This nation is unknown and remains disputed between nationals. The Islands were conquered by many nations such as Vrnallia but remained fiercely independent. By 1832 the Island was taken by the United Kingdom of Lhedwin. During the Great War the Solarian Partisans began a brutal resistance against Lhedwin. The Inistarian Uprisings were one of the most bloody resistance efforts during the war and thousands died in the struggle. After the war was over the nation was declared independent and quickly aligned itself with other Democratic Nations and form a Military. For the first decade the Economic Stability in the nation was disastrous and the North Demanded independence. This all culminated in the Rosenburg Incident. A man from the Northern City of Bjorgen was killed by a Rosenburg Police Officer. Outrage was sparked and the Secretaries of the Northern States excluding Vitburg declared independence. This in turn caused the Solarian Civil war (1910-1918). The war cost 100,000 lives and sparked hatred of the Northern Citizens. By 1918 the Northern States surrendered and the rebuilding period began. This lasted 30 Years to rebuild the Nation which is widely attributed to the 6th Prime Minister Joseph Stjellenkor. He introduced Liberal and Socialist reforms booming the Nations economy and for a short period the Solarian economy was the fastest growing in Asura. Since then the Nation has been prosperous and is considered a Social Welfare State. The Nation has since tried to integrate into Asuran Politics and build relationships around the world.

"Well thank you first of all Markus. To answer your question Immigration is a key strategy to boosting our Economy and Quality of life. In the next 10 to 20 years we will see our Native Citizen Average Age hit 62 higher then it has ever been.

How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): By no means a strong nation, the only strength Sephrane has is the relative stability it enjoys. Although it had troubles in the past, the solution to those troubles have largely stuck; and by all means, its the most successful post-colonial democracy in Arabekh. On the flip side, though, things aren't so cheery. The stability it has enjoyed was clearly built with a time limit, as year after year the republic is tested. These tests only grow in strength, while the republic in Iolias weakens; whether it be Irsadists, populists or the Monterrian minority, something will light a spark that will set off the whole powder keg.

Other (10%)
Language(s): Yen (primarily Xai), Newreyan, Tangkouan
GDP per capita (USD): 29,820
HDI: 0.818
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): The area now known as Lizhau was first controlled by native kingdoms believed to have formed around 1900 BCE. The next 750 years would be the known as the Xuduo period. Around 1150 BCE all the kingdoms east of the Qingche River united and formed the Nangfang Empire. The west remained divided and Tangkuoan tribes and kingdoms hassled these states at the time of Nangfang. The period of the same name continued until 209 BCE, when the Celestial Uprising started a radically theocratic Lizhauan Empire under the Lei dynasty. They proceeded to cross the Qingche starting the Almighty War with the western kingdoms between 202 and 78 BCE. The dynasty collapsed with financial chaos in 51 BCE, being replaced by the more merchant-orientated Weng dynasty. Trade with Qyredines began and relations with certain Yuhiulu factions began to arise and the stricken Empire was rebuilt. The port of Quxou was established in this time, and it's expansion resulted in the First Great Phase of trade in modern day Jiazo Region. But a materialistic approach by the Weng dynasty resulted in Cultural and theocratic nobility forming the Xinist Movement in 302 CE. The movement began a fierce civil war and eventually agreed to split the nation; any land west of the Qingche became the Glorious Xin Realm while the Weng dynasty remained in the east. In 563, the Weng dynasty fell after the Great Earthquake, and the Xin invaded to unify all of Lizhau under the Realm. This struggled seriously in the wake of the quake and the Glorious Xin Realm collapsed into chaos in 598. The Empire was restored under the Tsuo dynasty. During this time the Empire was rebuilt from the shocking disaster and trade helped recover the nation. A cultural revolution occurred between 600 and 900 CE, and the nation's culture and philosophy flourished. The Tsuo dynasty's last emperor died childless and his closest relative, a distant cousin, stepped up to begin to Ling dynasty in 1070. The nation was plagued with rebellions and trade became particularly bleak between 1080 and 1550. Corruption and governmental kniving occurred and Sukhbaataryn hoardes plagued Lizhau's north. The arrival of Asurans around 1250 changed Lizhau forever. Trade did not kick in until the latter half of the 16th century, after the collapse of the Ling dynasty. Mainly Vvardenian at first, Midrasian and Newreyan traders arrived and secured ports over the years. By 1850, Newrey, Vvarden, and even the Vestric Republic were warring with the Dangou dynasty over things like opium, goods, control of routes and colonial ambitions. By 1900 they had been mostly expelled; Midrasia still controlled a quarter of Quxou and Newreyan companies still controlled vast inland plantations and small ports. Rebellions and constant foreign and economic pressure put Lizhau under strain. Their participation in the World war?? was costly and in 1942, several generals forcefully removed the fledgling Jow dynasty. The junta was prosperous but short lived; with heavy USSR?? support, communists fought and won a civil war between 1945 and 1948. The People's Socialist Republic of Lizhau continued in extreme cruelty, poverty, and failure until suffering a bloodless coup in 1980. Governments changed through coups and "elections" for a decade, in 1990 reforms were introduced and a capitalist, democratic republic was formed.

Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): The United Federacies of Mahisialand also called Mahisia is a relatively large nation on the continent of Rennekka. 34 million Mahisians reside in the massive nation. The economy of the nation is small, but exports and oil is bringing in income for the nation. Mahisialand is a confederal constitutional monarchy under a head of state, the Hoykonge who is currently Gustav Olafsson III Mahys, and a Statsminister, currently Johan vun Bellik. The nation's roots are colonial, being discovered by Oscar de Xandri in 1505. First colonization efforts began under Brenzhem in the 1540s, eventually Lhedwinic settlements bested Brenzhemite efforts. Many wars were fought with Ayoubians, the umbrella natives. The nation is currently stable with most racial tensions dying down as the (apartheid) is milked down.

Geography and climate of nation: In the east, the nation is warmer and more temperate although winters are cold. Going south the vast Idaliakiak Land is frosty, plains, cold all year round and is very barren. In the south west the Van Dietrich mountain range which holds massive mountains which are cold yearound but thaw causing huge floods and valley lakes.
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): Military is small but decent and economy is strong enough. Not a world power, a middle or a minor state. Large, not powerful.
If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?: Lower population and size

[Gyldenport]

(Since I'm replacing Beoshire with this nation some of the application is partially reworded)
IC nation name: (The Free Republic of) Gyldenport
Capital: Gyldenport
Government type: Presidential/Parliamentry Republic
RP population: 5.8 million
Ethnic Group(s): Gyldenese
Language(s): Gyldenese Newreyen, Native Dialects (Recognised Minority Languages)
GDP per capita (USD): $38,000.00
HDI: 0.89061
Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): http://iiwiki.com/wiki/Gyldenport
Map claim (Imgur): https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=227

Geography and climate of nation: Gyldenport has been described by some as a 'tropical paradise', however this is an obvious exaggeration; to describe Gyldenport in a neutral manner it is a hot country with around 1000mm of rainfall in a year, being surrounded completely by a body of water (the Columbian Ocean), parts of the nation require boat or plane to travel to (such as Southpoint), with (extremely) small areas being remote enough that the indigenous people remain relatively separate from society apart from via their towns sole radio or when the town needs a fresh load of shopping.

How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): Gyldenport is a small island nation when described on the international stage Gyldenport's strengths are:
Gyldenport's Economy - Thanks to Gyldenport's low taxes both corporate and personal it has become what critics describe as a tax haven but the nation itself sees as 'beacon of economic freedom'. As a result some transnational corporations have chosen Gyldenport as their 'base of operations' purely for tax purposes. Due to the Vestric Cold War many of those who would otherwise have faced the ire of new Communist Regimes have found a safe home in Gyldenport, some even becoming citizens, after donating to various orginisations within the nation of course… *wink wink*
Gyldenport's Liberalism - Gyldenport sees itself as a beacon of liberalism, with LGBT and racial equality as well as legalisation or decriminalisation of most drugs and prostitution, this has resulted in booming tourism and immigration.
Gyldenport's Environmental profile - Gyldenport is a country which prides itself on it's environmental laws, of which are the most restrictive aspect of the Gyldenport's otherwise lax legal system.

On the other hand, weaknesses would be:
Gyldenport's Military - Under Gyldenport's constitution the Gyldenese Defence Force is limited to 2% of the population (roughly 116,000 people) in combat-ready roles outside of war (including reservists), this 2% is shared between both the Army and Navy, furthermore the nations air capabilities are jointly controlled by these wings, the closest to a combat role that is excluded from this cap is the Military Police. Furthermore, the military is limited to the role of defense only, many in the legislature and judiciary, this definition includes intervention if it is believed that the conflict could overflow into Gyldenport, as seen in Newrey's Civil War which the Supreme Court ruled was at risk of overflowing into Gyldenport with it's large Newreyan immigrant population following a request by the President for a consensus on a theoretical intervention following a debate in the HoN.
Gyldenport's Population - Similar to it's military issues, Gyldenport has a relatively small population and as a result of this the country is much more limited in it's actions when compared with Midrasia or other powers within Aeia.

If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?: I would either reduce the military cap, have the nation reeling from a national disaster (hurricane), reduce the GDP or add any number of internal issues such as a firearm crisis, drug crisis or agricultural issues or any mix of the handicaps mentioned.

How did you hear about Aeia? I saw it whilst browsing the region list

Roleplay sample (Optional, though required for claiming a more powerful role): Unfortunately I'm unable to provide any examples from NS as this is my first experience Roleplaying on Nationstates, in the past I've roleplayed on several games (one of which I might be able to find some roleplay or someone within a moderating position who can vouch for me) both virtual and tabletop, I imagine and hope that Gyldenport's position will make this a non-issue though.

Accepted, though you may want to reduce your HDI slightly.

Accepted.

Seems good, though I would advise reducing the overall size of your claim. I'm going to accept you, though its likely your land claim will be reduced. We can discuss this over discord.

Accepted.

[Rythene]

IC Nation Name: Mezoria
Capital: Uváros
Government Type: Semi-Presidential Republic
RP Population:14.08 Million
Ethnic Group (s): Mezorian, with possible influences from bordering nations such as Brilliania, Veleaz and Dreyvisevich.
Language Group (s): Mezorian
GDP Per Capita (USD): 17,864.45
HDI: 0.798

Brief Background of Nation (or IIWiki): Before the ninth century, Mezoria consisted of multiple tribal clans and petty kingdoms, until several of the more influential leaders met in the then capital, Sźental, and unified the nation. Through rigorous debate, a King was appointed, and the Kingdom lasted nearly a thousand years with authoritarian rule before the people’s rebellion of 1796, which resulted in the establishment of an elective monarchy.

Mezoria partook in the Great War, and was defeated in the closing months by the Grand Alliance. After the war, a democratic government was established, and an early draft of the modern constitution had been ratified. Mezoria was a part of the ASU, before formally breaking away in 1979 two years before its dissolution.

Map Claim: South of Brilliania, in red.

Geography and Climate of Nation: Similar to real world Hungary, Mezoria has a continental climate, resulting in extremely dry summers and harsh winters. Based on earlier topographic maps in Aeia, Mezoria would be predominantly mountainous in the north, with the south comprising mainly of flat grasslands.

How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure (strengths/weaknesses): Being a landlocked nation, Mezoria’s weakness would primarily constitute of a lack of naval power, which would prove troubling historically, and more than likely affect trade with nations outside of Asura. However, what Mezoria lacks in naval power, it makes up for in other military aspects.

If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?: Military power could be reduced (not too drastically), and just about anything economically could be changed. Just about anything could be lowered, within reason.

How did you hear about Aeia? Aeia has an embassy with Levilion, the region which my main account is located.

What other nations do you use on NS? Rythene, and Rythene II.

Any other info you wish to add (Optional): Seeing as I forgot to add my capital on the map claim, Uváros is located just south of the river, away from the border with Brilliania.
