BASIC INFO:
IC nation name: State of Rouesia (OR) Rouesian State
Capital: Viemau
Leader(s): Klaus Vayeaux, as Chief of State (since 1982), Jaque Du Martel, as Prime Minister (since 1982; Chief of State 1961-1982)
Government type: Authoritarian dominant-party corporatist state
GDP per capita (USD): 11,480

DEMOGRAPHICS:
RP population: 48.3 million
Ethnic Group(s): Rouesian, Rohstian, Torchino, High Velon
Language(s): Rouesian, Rohstian, Alian, Cirensch

GEOGRAPHY:
Brief background of nation (or link to iiwiki page): Rouesia first emerged as a number of city-states, small republics, and minature monarchies on the collapse of the Velonian Empire in the 470s(??). The most influential of these city-states was Milizano, a initially Alian tribe. Milizano was founded in 402, as Milazanus, and became a powerful city-state in 579. The first moves towards Rouesian unification began in 1437, when Cosimo Covarni was elected Ruler of the Grand Republic of Milizana. His elder brother, Johani, was Doge of Toranus, prompting a personal union which began to expand. The Covarni family spread to the leaderships of many Rouesian states. In 1439, the Muraine joined the union after a large trade deal. The following year, the Champaignes archipelago, now submerged, was aquired. Rouesia was divided between merchants that supported and opposed the Covarni union. In 1442, Cosimo proposed to the other Rouesian states, a trade league that would unite merchants into a single confederal nation. Over the next two years, states either joined or were forcefully added. The trade league became official in 1444, uniting most of modern Rouesia. Cosimo betrayed and murdered his brother, and his ancestors ruled the league for many decades. In 1509, descendants of Johani had Cosimo III brutally killed, beginning the Rouesian Turbulence. The period of civil conflict only ended in 1569, when Melcio Johann Covarni defeated the final Cosimians, and ended the 50 Years War. He proclaimed the Covarni Empire, and himself as Johani I. The empire lived up to it's name, taking control of most of the Gothic Sea. It wasn't until 1737 with the crowning of Augusto IV, that the empire began to decline. Augusto's disastrous policies lost much territory from the empire. By 1747 the Covarni Empire had all but ceased to exist. On March 13th, 1748, Medici duKaix, descendant of the Cosimos, together with a group of nobles, invited Augusto to a banquet celebrating 10 years since his coronation. While a toast was being held by Medici, 4 men dragged Augusto away from his chair and sat him down in front of Medici, who joined in with the spectacular and bloody murder of the young king. Medici proclaimed the Kingdom of Rouesia, and House of Covarni-duKaix, as well as himself as Rufus I. In this period, a newer dialect developed (RL Norman language), due to the exclusion of the Covarni colonies. The monarchy continued until 1872, with the Rouesian Revolution toppling the monarchy and executing Martin III. The republic continued in a democratic fashion until ((1940s???)) when the Rohstian Invasion caused the beggining of the Viemau Regime, which lasted until the end of the war. The regime continued on terms of friendship and support of Rohst. In 1982, Klaus Vayeaux became the 5th Rouesian Chief of State. He honorably appointed his predeccessor, Jaque du Martel, 8th Prime Minister.

GEOGRAPHY:
Brief background of nation (or link to iiwiki page): http://iiwiki.com/wiki/Torchina
Map claim (Imgur): Already on the map, south Vreya and north east Marazh
Geography and climate of nation: Torchina primarily has a warm summer climate, with a hot desert climate in the interior of Sudivestru. The climate of a majority of the nation is characterised by hot, dry summers and rainy winters. In the summer, cold currents prevent rain clouds from forming and cause the weather in the region to be very dry and stable. However, in the winter, the ocean currents shift and the water that has been warmed up all summer moves closer to land and often brings rain but keeps the weather mild. Snowfall in the lowlands of the nation is rare, but snow does fall in the mountainous regions of the northern interior of Maria proper. Whilst this snow does not fall in the coastal cities, stronger cold waves can easily carry the snow down from the mountains and into the hills, and on occasion even the coastal cities.

Summers in Gaviotia and Gillemi, as well as the south coast of Maria and the north coast of Sudivestru, are affected greatly winds from the interior of Arcola and are often scorching.

POWER PROJECTION:
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): Torchina is a fading empire and one of the primary powers of the Republican Entente, the days of strong power projection are long since past but Torchina maintains a very powerful navy and its position within the Erdion grants it sizeable power projection within Southern Vreya. Soft power and cultural projection is also exhibited through its ties to its former colonies, eg. Khautsala and linguistic communities.

DEMOGRAPHICS:

Ethnic Group(s): Verheiter, Aitic
Language(s): Verheiter (German)

GEOGRAPHY:
Brief background of nation (or link to iiwiki page): Formerly an Empire until 1885, then a Republic, the Socialist Revolution of 1915 overthrew the bourgeois democratic government, installing a radical socialist republic in its place. Being a heavily industrialised and technologically advanced state even before the Revolution, Verheit avoided much of the violent industrialisation and collectivisation practices of other revolutionary states. Pursuing close and strong relations with the Soicalist Aitic Federation after its establishment, the VDR has established itself as a strong regional power in Vreya.
Map claim (Imgur): https://imgur.com/a/KNna8Gz
Geography and climate of nation: WIP

POWER PROJECTION:
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): While a strong state within Vreya, even with limited power projection capability, Verheit cannot hope to take on major hostile powers like Rohst on its own, and thus has strongly embedded its armed forces within the [Socialist Bloc]'s military structure. The VDR's main geopolitical disadvantage is its distance from the Socialist Aitic Federation, so in case of hostilites, the National Volksarmee must hold long enough for reinforcements to arrive.

IC nation name: Unified Republic of Maegenland
Capital: Olebury
Leader(s): Karles Bearjuveematr, President
Government type: Federal Parliamentary Republic
GDP per capita (USD): 6,986

DEMOGRAPHICS:
RP population: 27,181,366
Ethnic Group(s): Magsh
Language(s): Standard Magshan Folckish (English, but without "th"-sounds and the "r"-sound replaced with rhotic tap, also more Old Norse words), but non-standard dialects only retain limited mutual intelligibility with Folckish.

GEOGRAPHY:
Brief background of nation (or link to iiwiki page): Originally populated by continental West Germanic peoples, settlers from Westfolck triggered a linguistic shift in the 8th century. Increased trade consolidated power into a few core cities, who conquered the small kingdoms between them and feuded for control over the middle ages and renaissance. The Century of Turmoils further centralized control into just two kingdoms; Grasswander in the north and Sydernrealm in the south. Maegenland failed to unify across the 19th century, preventing it from becoming a colonial power and exerting influence. Grasswander allied to Rohst before the Great War, and invaded Sydernrealm while Westfolck was too burdened to assist the south. Even so, the war lasted three years and left a heavy toll on the country, especially hurting the south. The country was officially unified under the northern throne, but the friendship with Rohst and their authoritarianism was deeply unpopular. Some time after war’s end, the royal veto of a highly anticipated parliamentary act resulted in nationwide protests and a short inter-military civil war. It all culminated in the “Magshan Reversal”, where Folcker military was secretly brought in to backstab Rohst, and soon the official switching of blocs. Today, Maegenland and Westfolck are closely integrated defensively and economically, although the Magsh are struck with corrupt leadership, declining industries and an uncertain future.

Geography and climate of nation: A rich coastal plain covers the northern coast, which then ascend into the Great Maegers mountain range that runs across the middle of the country, reaching heights of 2500 meters. South of this, valleys and hills dominate, with farms and cities packed inside them near the coasts while the inlands are best suited for grazing. Land-based economies include coal mining, fishing, farming and great herds of sheep and cattle. The north’s climate is a typically rainy, temperate oceanic one, with tundra and glacial climates in the mountains. The south receives somewhat less rain than the north, but it comes at all times of year; the inland has a cool continental climate, and the coast a warmer seaside one.

POWER PROJECTION:
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): Maegenland, located right next to conflicting world powers, is too small and downtrodden to fly its own sails; nowadays, it sits as a piece in the puzzle for Westfolck to hold Rohst at bay in the continent, with its internal workings usually left alone as long as an invasion could be launched from it. But its people have a great sense of defiance, waiting to once again expel their masters when the time comes right.
If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?: Deleting my account
