Government Type: Enlightened absolutist Monarchy but there are parliamentary elections with political parties but the Monarch has the absolute final say in every matter
Head of State: Krol Fryderyk I
Head of Government: First Minister Eliasz Malinowski
Requested GDP Per Capita: 22,295
National Overview: Ionland for most of its existence has been led by a monarch of many types. One of the biggest events which drastically changed Ionland was the introduction of Hanguk pilgrims which were attempting to find a safe haven. Over time both ethnic groups saw each other as brothers and sisters and ultimately aren't seen as different people in contemporary Ionland. In the 17th and 18th century Ionland attempted various means of expansion abroad to make itself an empire. But due to the campaigns abroad there was a stagnation domestically in the 19th and early 20th century. There has been a minor share of internal struggle in Ionland, the biggest of which happened in 1914 when the Ionite War of Succession and Republican Revolt broke out which led to the rise of the Rominski Dynasty which has led Ionland for the past 100 years.
Military Overview: The Siłyobronne or internationally named Ionited Armed Forces is responsible for the protection of Ionland's sovereignty and to protect the safety of the people internally and internationally. Very rarely does Ionland involve itself in foreign conflicts so the most the armed forces do is move around and aid the the government with various public projects and the rare emergency situation. Military service is mandatory to men ages 18-28 for a year with an optional second year added on with a bonus pay raise. Ionland possesses no nuclear weapons but does hold a chemical weapons arsenal which some of which is held in secret. The Ionite Navy has one aircraft carrier which was made in the 1980s. Totally there are close to five million in the Armed Forces. 900,000 of which are deployed in various public works, the rest are kept in reserves.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Due to Ionland being very religious, public opinion on the minority group is unfavorable and any media reflecting the group is outlawed
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Most Ionites find other religions to be blasphemous but do not hold any sort of ill towards other believers. The Ionite Orthodox Church, the main faith of Ionites teach peaceful conversion so many Ionites follow that tenet. There is also no restrictive laws against minority religions.
• General population's view on atheism: A majority of Ionites hold that atheism is a joke but when dealing with atheism in the public they treat it like any other religion.
• General population's view on abortion: Since the term has been a thing, Ionites have held extremely negative views on abortion and the laws have long banned abortion in Ionland. The Ionite government has long held adoption campaigns within the country to find children homes.
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Under Krol Tadeusz in the late 1950s there was a racial purity campaign held to maintain Ionite and Hanguk purity which held popular support for a few years but ultimately fell through a few years after his death and was ultimately erased from any sort of governmental speaking points under Krol Władysław in the mid 1970s.
• Any big prejudices in your nation: Due to Ionites as a whole being very isolationist, Ionites do not like having any foreign influence within the country as they see it as unnecessary distractions within various parts of Ionite culture.
• View on immigration into country: There is no legal way for a foreigner to gain Ionite citizenship, the only way to gain a thing nearest to a citizenship is to attain a yearly rotating work permit which is issued by the Ionite government at the sponsorship of a company within Ionland.
• Women's Rights: Women in Ionland are held in high regard, due to the importance of the Queen in public and governmental matters women are seen as just an important factor in society as men. Women in Ionland have long held completely freedom in both public and private life. There is also a holiday which Ionites celebrate women on December 29th.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs:

Tobacco use in recent years have seen a sharp decline due to a success in governmental campaigns to curb the habit in order to promote a healthier society which started under Wladyslaw's sports programs under his reign. Alcohol is popular amongst Ionites with pilsners and vodka being the favorite alcoholic beverages. In the 1980s there was a major problem with alcoholism due to stagnation and a relative depression in Ionland. Other than medicinal marijuana all drug uses is completely prohibited and carries heavy fines.

National information
Official Name: Republic of Garambura
Shortened Name: Garambura, historically East Riziland
Requested Location:
Requested Population: 8,635,881
Culture: Primarily veRwizi (Shona) that developed a sort-of seperate cultural identity to Rwizikuru after the 1970s/80s due to the presence of other cultures and a desire to distance Garambura from Rwizikuru.

• Ethnicity: veRwizi (Shona), Sisulu (Xhosa), Njinji (Chewa)
• Religion: Sotirian Catholicism, Irfanic minority
• Languages: The country has six official languages: veRwizi, Sisulu, Njinji, Gaullican, Weranian and Estmerish. veRwizi, Sisulu and Gaullican are taught in schools and are the most widely understood.

Government Type: Unitary presidential republic
Head of State: President Muzukuru Chiyangwa
Head of Government: Vice President Zivai Mushohwe
Requested GDP Per Capita: $1,884 (nominal), $3,462 (PPP)
National Overview: Modern Garamburan history can be traced back to the land being part of the veRwizi Empire between 1157 and the 1650s, when the empire collapsed. Whilst the empire was under its golden age, the coastal cities of the empire, now in Garambura, flourished as pan-Bahian trade was established, bringing wealth into the cities of the coast. This established the first real economic divide in the country, with the veRwizi of the south enjoying a luxurious, wealthy lifestyle, whilst the Sisulu and Njinji peoples of north still led rather primitive and impoverished lifestyles compared to their southern neighbours. This divide formed the basis of the Sisulu Revolt in 1636, where an estimated 300,000 Sisulu and Njinji people revolted against the oppressive rule of the veRwizi Empire. The revolt itself failed but its occurrence was one of the events that led to the eventual destabilisation, and conquering, of the empire by the neighbouring Wopoto Empire for a short-lived time, before the lands of Garambura fractured into various tribal states.

Tribal conflicts between the allied Sisulu and Njinji peoples against the veRwizi were fought until an armistice was signed in 1652 that ceded various lands of the northern remnants of the veRwizi tribal state to the newly-formed Sisulu-Njinji Empire. Gaullica established its first trading outpost in 1656 as Saint-Germain (now Mambiza), various coastal forts were seized by the Gaullicans throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, and by 1840 the entirety of modern-day Garambura had been absorbed into the Gaullican colony of Terre-Noire, with Saint-Germain serving as its capital. The Gaullicans were quick to implement cultural reform, but did not forcefully stamp out the colony's native languages until the beginning of the 20th century, where cultural repression began occurring across the colony, picking up specifically after Duclerque's national functionalist party took power in 1919. With the Gaullicans having such a strong presence in the colony, many natives were conscripted into regiments that contributed heavily on the Bahian front of the Great War, against Riziland, scoring a major victory in the 1933 Battle of Mekatura which led to much of eastern Riziland coming under occupation of Gaullica. An estimated 140,000 veRwizi, Sisulu and Njinji people died fighting for Gaullica in the Great War.

After Gaullica lost the Great War, the southern portion of the Terre-Noire colony was absorbed into the Riziland colony of Estmere, where growing calls for independence in Rwizikuru led to the colony of Riziland declaring independence in 1946, with one unified state constituting modern-day Rwizikuru and Garambura existing, with Garambura being referred to as "East Riziland". Separate cultural identities and general neglect of the region led to the Garamburan National Front (Garambura Nyeka Mberi; GNM) forming in 1968 and unilaterally declaring its independence from Rwizikuru under Kuziva Midzi on February 16, 1969, while Rwizikuru was at war with Nasana over the region of Yekumavirira. A major victory for the GNM was scored at the Battle of Mambiza, forcing Rwizikuru to retreat and beginning a counter-attack into the country. Surrounded on both sides by invading armies, Midzi met with Mambo of Rwizikuru Izibongo Ngonidzashe to discuss peace terms, and on April 30, 1969, the Republic of Garambura was declared, recognised in full by the Kingdom of Rwizikuru. Garambura was admitted to the CoN in 1971, but relations with Rwizikuru did not recover until the ascension of Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe to the throne of Rwizikuru in 1979, as Izibongo had a personal vendetta for Garambura, as he saw their declaration of independence as a betrayal to the veRwizi state and people. Diplomatic staff were exchanged for the first time in October of 1979, marking a new era between the two nations - with relations remaining favourable since then.


Military Overview: The Garamburan Armed Forces are comprised of three branches: the Army, Navy and Air Force, although the latter two are extremely small. The Garamburan Army consists heavily of guerrilla remnants from the independence war, with 63,000 active soldiers and 110,000 reserve troops. The army is trained mainly in guerrilla tactics and uses the AKM and PC-9 ZOAF (both supplied by Zorasan) as its main arms. Its navy consists of 2 torpedo boats and 3 patrol craft, while its air force consists of 3 Mi-17 attack helicopters, 10 transport helicopters and 4 transport planes. Much of the Garamburan Armed Forces' equipment was manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s and a lot of it has been donated from other countries.

[Masyarakat Watan]

National information
Official Name: Masyarakat Watan/Communauté de Ouatan (Gaullicization, sometimes used in Euclea and the Asterias)
Shortened Name: Watan/Ouatan
Requested Location:

Requested Population: 78,863,514.
Culture: An amalgamation of !Malayic groups united around their system of animist and shamanistic beliefs and ancestor worship. Also influenced by Euclean - especially Gaullican - culture.

• Ethnicity: 54.8% Orang Sungai, 28.2% Urang Chek, 7.6% Pelancong Sungai, 6.1% Yi, 2.3% Xiandongese, 1% Others.
• Religion: 88.4% Kebiasaan Kita (literally Our Customs, the set of native folk beliefs), 7.8% Satyist, 3.1% Sotirian, 0.7% Others. The numbers may be sketchy here, as there is much syncretism.

  Government Type: Unitary multi-party presidential constitutional republic
  Head of State: Ketua Dian dari Raharjo
  Head of Government: Ketua Dian dari Raharjo
  Requested GDP Per Capita: $10,942.
  National Overview: Thousands of years ago, !Malayic peoples migrated from nearby islands into the Sungai-Sungai Kembar (Twin Rivers) plains, establishing multiple villages by the seashore and along the rivers. Throughout centuries, they assimilated the local !Sinitic peoples, sometimes through continued trade and cultural exchange, sometimes through force. They formed intricate clan structures - which sometimes had a presence multiple villages - which were central in their shared set of customs and beliefs, forming the basis of their common identity. Some of these clans gathered great amounts of prestige and influence over a region through inter-clan fealty oaths, effectively forming dominions of their own, becoming tuan of a ketuanan. But still, familial rivalries and political tensions ran hand in hand, and caused many wars among the Orang Sungai, the peoples that lived on the Sungai-Sungai Kembar plains.
  A semi-legendary account of the first Agung Tuan of Ketuanan Sungai-Sungai Kembar, Kuwat dari Daya, tells that he managed to unite the plains under his dominion by carefully using the rivalries between one tuan and another, secretly promising them both to protect one from the other in exchange for their fealty - they only hadn't expected him to do so by ruling over them both and commanding them to leave their rivalries behind and not attack, lest the united armies of Ketuanan Sungai-Sungai Kembar would raze their lesser ketuanan. But it worked. Through a combination of force and wit, the Orang Sungai were united.
  Throughout the ages, then, history saw Ketuanan Sungai-Sungai Kembar separated and then reincarnated in many occasions, as well as under foreign occupation. One of the most frequent threats to the Ketuanan were the !Sinitic peoples that still lived on the mountains to the south and west, where the Sungai-Sungai Kembar had their nascents. This conflict was only put to an end when the Anek-Anek Danau - a people which was linguistically related to the Orang Sungai - came en masse as exiles from their homeland, with its exiled monarch pleading fealty to the Agung Tuan in exchange for refuge for its people. With the exiled royal court's armies as reinforcements, the Agung Tuan carefully planned a campaign to conquer the mountains for months while the reinforcements recovered. At last, when they had succeeded, the refugees were resettled in the newly conquered regions, and came to be known to the Orang Sungai as the Orang Gunung, but started calling themselves the Urang Chek.
  For the following centuries, Ketuanan Sungai-Sungai Kembar lived its golden age, seeing progress in the sciences and the arts. However, in the 19th century, Nyoman dari Wibawa, the half-brother to the then Agung Tuan, Setiawan dari Wibawa, sustained that the marriage between their father and Setiawan's mother had been invalid, and thus, Setiawan's claim to the throne as well, leaving Nyoman as the rightful ruler. After a failed coup, Nyoman retreated to a coastal city, but there, he was contacted by an envoy from Gaullica and struck a deal with the Euclean power. In exchange for being militarily supplied and formally recognized by Gaullica as the ruler, he would grant them a concession on a port. And so, he ousted his half-brother, Setiawan.
  What followed were decades of further demands from Gaullica, which used its economic leverage and gunboat diplomacy to enforce their interests. Little by little, the once glorious Ketuanan Sungai-Sungai Kembar was turned into a protectorate of Gaullica. Nyoman, by then suffering from advanced age and numerous health issues, watched helplessly as his own dynasty would become puppet kings for Gaullica for about a century. During this time, anti-monarchic resentment slowly grew among the country's elite.
  Following the Great War, in which the Ketuanan had to fight on Gaullica's side. A circle of intellectuals and army officers managed to ride the wave of popular opinion against Gaullica and its puppet kings, disseminating a republican and nationalistic revolution in the country, speaking of their ideal of Watan, the motherland. This gave rise to a three-year long conflict with sporadic but severe hostilities. The movement was spearheaded by Guntur dari Cahaya of the Gerakan Kebangsaan Watan, or Nationalist Movement of Watan, but there were multiple other organizations at work, even religious ones. After a failed first attempt at a peace negotiation with Gaullica and the Royalists, another Congress for Peace in the Sungai-Sungai Kembar Region was held, at which the opposition finally accepted the Watanian terms, recognizing the new republican government and withdrawing their troops. During this whole period of national uprising, the standard form of the Watanian language was developed from the lingua franca of the region.
  Guntur was elected as the first Ketua, or president, of Masyarakat Watan. The first decade of the republic was chaotic, as the many armed groups and political movements that took part in the Watanian Liberation had plenty of disagreements on the direction that the nation should take, and radicalism was much more frequent. Not rarely, they pursued their goals through covert criminal actions. Then, a political party called Gerakan Pembaruan Kebangsaan, led by Wahyu dari Asli, gained political momentum, with a discourse that Watanian society hadn't moved away from external influences enough, especially Euclean influences. For two decades, they ruled and abused their power to suppress political rivals, the media and whatever they deemed as un-Watanian (which included the persecution of foreigners residing in the country and, arbitrarily, the Pelancong Sungai nomadic ethnic group), going as far as making multiple amendments to the Constitution to support their actions.
  After this period of isolation and failed economic policies that attempted to increase Watan's autonomy, the country's economy suffered from heavy inflation and unemployment, leading to great discontent. This, added to corruption scandals and the reaction against political persecution by the regime, caused nationwide protests, strikes and even mutiny by the armed forces, culminating in the renunciation of the then Ketua and a new constitutional assembly. The Masyarakat received new systems of checks and balances, including the foundation of a constitutional tribunal, and prejudice based on ethnicity, nationality and religion was largely condemned.
  The country took a hard progressive turn in contrast to the period of virtual dictatorship it had lived. Internationally, it started to espouse a socially progressive, anti-colonialist, democratic agenda. A monetary reform was passed and an emphasis on infrastructure, technology and education was given, along with fiscal incentives, to attract investments from multinational corporations. This helped fix Watan's economic issues, but other issues still ran deep: the influence of secret societies in the country's politics, the activity of organized crime groups, among others. Watan has now, for decades, attempted to reconstruct its image whilst dealing with its own skeletons in the closet.
  Military Overview: The Watanian armed forces are not big, instead there being a focus on the specialization of these forces and the implementation of high quality technology in their operations. They are frequently used in border control and in operations against piracy and international trafficking, but are also used in rescue operations in case of natural disaster and sometimes deployed in international peacekeeping operations. Their tracking capabilities and mobility are particularly renowed.
  
  Social views:
  
  • General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples and gender transition are legal. Discrimination based on sexual or gender orientation is criminalized. However, some prejudice is deeply ingrained into society, especially in rural areas, and "flamboyant" behavior may be met with judging looks and gossip. Frequently, the public opinion on the LGBT is "it's alright, but I hope I don't have any in my family". The LGBT population still has little protection in cases of more subtle discrimination and regarding discrimination inside their families.
  • General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Other religions are often syncretized with Kebiasaan Kita, and the non-Watanian ethnic groups' right to practice their own religion is firmly respected, but for Watanians, it's viewed as somewhat disrespectful to not observe at least a degree of Kebiasaan Kita. A few pockets of radicals advocate a "purer" form of Kebiasaan Kita, however, and won't accept elements from other faiths.
  • General population's view on atheism: Once again, for non-Watanians, people don't pay much mind. To the Watanians, however, fully renouncing Kebiasaan Kita is seen as unrespectful with one's ancestors. All-out atheism is uncommon in Watan, and even those who consider they don't believe in any deities still practice some folk customs.
  • General population's view on abortion: Legal for the first 1/3 of the pregnancy. Some people consider it bad luck to reject "the gift of life", but most are understandable of a decision to do so, citing how it is preferrable to do so than to raise a child in poor conditions, be them financial or psychological ones.
  • View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): The Orang Sungai, Urang Chek and Pelancong Sungai are informally considered to be the three pillars of Watanian identity. Other ethnicities are not, however, barred from attaining citizenship. In fact, sizeable populations of Yi and Xiandongese reside in the country, and the government has made a policy of making these groups feel more as a part of Watan. In general, they are well seen and at most their customs are met with some strangeness, but some in the oldest generations equal that strangeness with a feeling of impropriety.
  • Any big prejudices in your nation: Watan is a nation filled with deeply rooted, subtle or veiled prejudices, but few outspoken ones. When it comes to politics, domestic or international, Watanians can be quite fond of using stereotypes for humorous effect. States and leaders viewed as un-democratic, neo-colonial or self-absorbed tend to receive a particularly stingy treatment. The government, however, tends to play it cool and not let those perceptions show (too much).
  • View on immigration into country: Since the reformation of Masyarakat Watan, Watan has opened up quite a lot to foreigners coming in, in contrast to the persecution they faced whilst under the Gerakan Pembaruan Kebangsaan regime. As a result, only part of the oldest generations and some of their political descendants view immigrants poorly, whilst the majority of the country consider openness to immigration as part of their republican ideals.
  • Women's Rights: Women are equal to men before the law, but there is an underlying higher social expectation regarding how they conduct themselves. Situations of structural sexism at work are not unheard of and, although the Watanian justice system firmly condemns this, some occurrences fly under the radar due to a lack of proactivity on the matter by fellow workers and the higher-ups.
  • Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Alcohol, tobacco and marijuana are legal, with the latter being given some religious usages. Synthetic drugs are illegal and have a general stigma of uncleanliness associated to them.

[Caphtor]

National information
Official Name: Caphtorite Republic (Gaullican: République Caphtorite; Caphtorite: Kalenirbubi Keptiyorag)
Shortened Name: Caphtor (Gaullican: Caphtor; Caphtorite: Keptiyu)
Requested Location:

This group of islands in the Lumine Ocean, off the coast of Asteria Inferior

Requested Population: 1.4 Million
Culture: Very loosely based on !Polynesian cultures with a Gaullican colonial presence.

• Ethnicity: The native people of the islands are the Caphtorites (Gaullican: les Caphtorites; Caphtorite: Keptiyoren), whose native ethnonym has been lost to time. The moniker applied to them by Gaullican explorers, les Caphtorites, comes from the name of an unidentified ethnic group mentioned in the Soterian bible. The Caphtorites, who make up about 71% of the Islands' population, are a seabound people, the descendents of adept sailors who originated somewhere in southern Coius around 3000 BCE. Their language is considered an isolate, as it isn't demonstrably related to any other in the Lumine Ocean or elsewhere. The remaining 29% of the population are generally the descendants of Euclean and Nuvanian plantation owners and businesspeople, who arrived in the late industrial era to capitalise on the exotic fruit and sugarcane markets. Mixed ancestry is very common.
  
• Religion: The country is dominated by the Solarian Catholic Church, to which nearly 90% of the population is affiliated. Traces of native religion exist, and revival efforts have been steadily growing, but this is mostly syncretic with a Solarian Catholic belief and identity. Smaller communities of Amendists and Atudites exist as well, drawn by the economic boom in the late industrial era.
  
• Languages: The Caphtorite language (Keptiyorag) is the language of the majority of the population, with about 70% speaking it as a first language. The remainder of the population speak Euclean languages, with Gaullican and Asteriaans (by virtue of Nuvanian capitalists) being the most common. Gaullican is co-official with Caphtorite and is commonly used by the media and organs of government where the Caphtorite language is considered to be lacking, although efforts are being made to coin new words in Caphtorite to make it suitable for 21st century government (an example of this is found in the nation's official endonym, Kalenirbubi Keptiyorag, where Kalenirbubi was coined from kalen "common, mutual" and irbubi "wealth" to replace the Gaullican loanword Repuliki).

Government Type: Unitary Parliamentary Republic
Head of State: President Tetepnedah Ishan
Head of Government: Prime Minister Kidinu-Marie Duquesne
Requested GDP Per Capita: $32,004 (nominal); $45,606 (PPP)
National Overview:

The story of Caphtor begins thousands of miles away in southern Coius, where the ancestors of the Caphtorite people first took to the seas around 3000 BCE. Genetic evidence shows striking affinities to the Yi and Qwehyongine peoples of the southernmost part of Coius, although the genetic makeup of the modern Caphtorite people is heavily mixed with other peoples with whom they made contact during their voyaging periods. It is generally considered that they remained in the area of southern Coius until about 1000 BCE, when between then and 900 CE, the Caphtorites relocated several times, leaving behind trails of archaeological sites on islands throughout the Sublustrian sea and the coastal islands of Asteria Inferior. The Sublustrian and Asterian communities were subsumed into other ethnic groups after the main body of the Caphtorite migration moved onward to the modern Caphtorite Islands, where they finally settled and remained sedentary until contact with Euclean explorers.



The use of the Crab-Claw Sail helped the Caphtorites cross vast expanses of open ocean

The first contact between the Caphtorite people and Euclean explorers occurred in 1711, when Johannes Botha, a Hennish explorer in Gaullican employ stumbled upon the northernmost island of the Caphtorite archipelago. Botha gave the archipelago the name Caphtor, the name of an unidentified region in the Soterian bible; by extension, he dubbed the people he encountered on his voyage Caphtorites. Botha and his crew spent several days surveying the northern part of the archipelago before continuing their voyage. Four men from Botha's crew remained on the largest of the islands as envoys to one of the tribal chiefs on behalf of the Gaullican crown, and Botha intended to return with a larger expedition, although financial concerns and the apparent lack of strategic resources on the islands surveyed led to a delay in the organisation of a followup expedition by nearly thirty years.

In 1740, four ships under the command of Jean-Luc d'Armagnac returned to the largest island to find that one of the four men of Botha's expedition was still alive, and that the members of the Botha voyage who had remained in Caphtor had assimilated into the local culture while priming the Caphtorites for conversion to Soterianity (while they had not converted yet, at least one of the men left behind was literate, and helped to translate certain passages into the local tongue). The chiefdom they had left behind was now a vast kingdom in control of all of the islands, in part due to the use of muskets and cannon traded away by Botha, and the advice of the four Eucleans to the King, Kidinu the First. Kidinu welcomed the Gaullican expedition and allowed them to set up a waystation for Gaullican ships exploring the Lumine Ocean and a Solarian Catholic mission, in exchange for diplomatic recognition, trading rights, and protection. Over the next century, Gaullican settlement was minimal, and the islands served as little more than a waypoint for traders headed for the Îles des Saints and a curiosity for missionaries and linguists. During this time, however, the Kings of Caphtor capitalised heavily on their trade connection with Gaullica, importing Euclean technologies and rapidly modernising their society and culture. What in 1740 was a primitive petty kingdom by Euclean standards had emerged by the mid 19th-century as a Eucleanised nation-state with a constitution and a parliament reminiscent of those emerging elsewhere at the time.

By the late 19th century, advances in food preservation and refrigeration led to a boom in Caphtor's exports of exotic fruits, for which a high demand arose in the industrialising nations of Euclea and Asteria Superior. The growing sugar industry also bolstered the Caphtorite economy — but these advances had the side effect of drawing land-buyers from Euclea and nearby Nuvania, who quickly emerged as a capitalist upper-class with a great deal of influence. These agricultural tycoons and business-settlers, despite being outnumbered by the locals, established control over the parliament with their influence. In spite of this uneven distribution of power, the growing economy and rising standard of living helped to maintain internal peace within the Caphtorite Kingdom through the Great War and into the 1940s.

In 1949, a sharp economic downturn struck, as the former staple crops of the Caphtorite economy were no longer in such high demand, as they could then be grown elsewhere in the world for less expense. Many ethnic Euclean families left the country, unwilling to ride out the recession, causing the economic crash to rapidly accelerate. The political turmoil that followed led to the abdication of three successive monarchs in the span of five years, and a takeover of the parliament by native nationalists. A new constitution was draughted and put into effect in 1958, abolishing the monarchy and establishing a Republic for the Caphtorite nation.

Following the dissolution of the monarchy, an attempt was made by the new government to salvage the tanking economy by promoting tourism in the paradisaical Caphtorite archipelago, especially with the advent of affordable civilian flights and the boom of international travel that occurred in the 1960s. Gaullican was retained as an official language in order to maintain business connections and to create a sense of familiarity for Euclean and Asterian travellers; in spite of this, conscious efforts were (and continue to be) made in order to revitalise the Caphtorite language for use in modern government and media, and to erode the necessity of a foreign tongue's presence in the daily lives of the native population.

In 2019, Caphtor's economy is bolstered by tourism, which contributes to nearly 42% of the nation's GDP. The GDP per capita is deceptively high, as the high cost of many basic goods that must be imported is often a hindrance.

Military Overview: Caphtor lacks a formal military, and generally relies on its economic connections with outside nations, particularly Gaullica, Nuvania, and Valentir for protection.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people:
  
  LGBT+ people are viewed with some suspicion and are the butt of many jokes, but homosexuality is legal, and unregistered de-facto cohabitation rights are extended to same-sex couples. Same-sex marriage is not recognised.
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one:
  
  A Soterian identity is very strong in Caphtor, and particularly a Solarian Catholic one. Other forms of Soterianity are tolerated but interfaith marriages are not common. A small Atudite community exists, and they are tolerated; other religions are often viewed with suspicion as being "foreign".
• General population's view on atheism:
  
  Even those who believe the least tend to cling to their religious community as a form of identity. Agnosticism or spiritual aloofness is not uncommon, but outright atheism is not common.
• General population's view on abortion:
  
  Abortions are legal upon request, but are a taboo subject.
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s):
  
  Eucleans are generally tolerated or at least considered unavoidable; other ethnic groups are tolerated as tourists, but not necessarily desired.
• Any big prejudices in your nation:
  
  Casual racism between the Euclean and Native populations isn't unheard of, even among friends.
• View on immigration into country:
  
  We don't really want them, but we also don't exactly have a lot of immigrants coming in anyway
• Women's Rights:
  
  Under the law, women are equal to men. Caphtorite culture is very Eastern-Euclean in this sense.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs:
  
  Alcohol is culturally rather discouraged, as most Caphtorites have very little tolerance for it and a high genetic susceptibility to alcohol addiction. Cannabis is legal for recreational use and not deeply stigmatised. Other drugs are very difficult to obtain, as they must be imported from overseas.

National Overview:
Banfura is a developing island nation in the Banfura Sea, off the coast of Coius. It has been recently steadily liberalizing its political process away from single-party socialist rule (though the All-Banfuran Popular Front, the socialist party that took power in the 1957 Revolution, remains the de facto ruling party, even if it now allows for some opposition in elections). Its economy is mixed but increasingly industrial rather than centered on agriculture (rice, palm oil, sugar, vanilla, and various spices being important crops), or resource extraction (aluminum and diamonds are two major mining commodities, probably along with some other metals), with growing textile and electronics sectors, as well as a historic and important aluminum smelting industry.

The island of Banfura formed during an enormous series of volcanic eruptions several tens of millions of years ago, and remains shaped by volcanism to this day. During the era of humans, its fertile soils, accompanied by heavy rain and a warm climate, have nourished large populations since the hunter-gatherer period, when people first arrived from the Coian mainland. Rice cultivation, and eventually bronze and iron smelting, quickly spread from the cradles of civilization in Southern Coius, brought by many new migrants who would largely subsume existing hunter-gatherer populations to become the ancestors of today’s Banfuran people.
Throughout antiquity, Banfura was divided among a number of small states concentrated in the flat, fertile areas along its rivers and coasts that were most suitable for agriculture (though this gradually shifted somewhat further into the island’s mountainous regions as terracing techniques improved). The island’s culture looked strongly towards the mainland, at Yi, Xiaodong, and Ouatan for influence, particularly as Satyism began growing influential on the island from around 100 BC onwards.
A gradual period of state consolidation occurred in antiquity, winnowing the many petty states down to a consistent number of four to six major kingdoms, which periodically absorbed or split from one another and warred against one another. In the 400s, an important king who I haven’t named yet from the region where the current capital I haven’t named yet is (which was the capital of that kingdom) unified the island, more or less, and over the next 400 years the peripheral kingdoms would try to break away a few more times and have a few last gasps until in the 800s, Banfura was consolidated as a single polity by another king I haven’t named, who declared himself emperor.
The new Banfuran state would wax and wane, having various civil wars, succession struggles, natural disasters, and expansionist periods, sometimes conquering areas of the islands or mainland coast to its north until around the 1500s, when contact with Eucleans became more intense and the slave trade started to become bigger business in Bahia. If Bahian players think it’d be interesting, I was thinking that Banfuran merchants and the Banfuran state could get in on the slave trade, taking over the islands to Banfura’s north to use as outposts for trading with Eucleans and waystations for slaves bound for the Asterias. This extremely lucrative and violent trade was accompanied by the arrival of increasingly sophisticated Sotirian missionary campaigns and increasing import of increasingly advanced Euclean armaments, and Banfuran society grew more violent, with the emperor and traditional nobility coming into increasing conflict with the growing overseas merchant class, and eventually with the imperial throne coming under the sway of these new commercial interests. Banfuran goods such as spices and diamonds also proved to be greatly desired by the Euclean trading companies, and Banfura’s favorable climate also meant that a domestic market for slaves developed as plantations for cloves, cinnamon, sugar, and other cash crops swelled.
The eventual end of the slave trade posed an issue for Banfura, especially when Estmerish ships began interdicting traffic around the 1740s onwards, eventually joined by other powers, and brought it into conflict with Euclean powers. Eventually, once Gaullica had abolished the trade and emancipated enslaved people in its empire, it came into conflict with Banfura over continued Banfuran engagement in the trade. First the island holdings to the north were seized and Banfura was made to pay an indemnity and open fully to trade and Sotirian proselytizing (which had been restricted) in the late 1700s, but the Gaullicans launched a second intervention in the 1800s, stamping out slavery and making Banfura a Gaullican protectorate.
The emperor became a mere puppet or figurehead of the colonial regime, which abolished slavery (though many former Bahian slaves were still stuck doing menial agricultural labor and remained deeply oppressed). Movements to fight for workers’ and peasants’ rights and the liberation of Bahian-Banfurans were largely suppressed during this period. Though the country still remained largely agricultural, its cities expanded considerably and became more industrialized, with textile factories, sugar mills, and aluminum smelting all becoming important industrial sectors.
During the Great War, tens of thousands of Banfuran soldiers and sailors were drafted to fight and die for Gaullica, and at the end of the war it was made an Estmerish mandate. The war was not popular, especially as Gaullican demands for resources from the colonies increased and Banfura came under repeated naval and air attack from the Allies, disrupting the economy and killing, wounding, and frightening people, but the change of one Euclean ruler for another at its end was also unpopular, though Estmere’s clear intentions to establish a short and clear path to independence and its lack of interest in reigning as an oppressive colonial master were more appreciated. The Estmerish established a plan for Banfuran independence where the emperor would reign as a constitutional monarch, with a parliament modeled along Estmerish lines. Estmerish authorities also tried to do away with some particularly archaic and oppressive Gaullican-era statutes, making efforts to grant more rights to Bahians and workers. More importantly, though, the Estmerish did not have the resources or the will to engage in the repression that the Gaullican colonial government had towards the simmering forces of social change on the island, nor was it willing to encourage (and incentivize or assist) local elites in doing so. Labor and racial unrest grew between the end of the war and independence, and the plan to install the emperor as constitutional monarch—seen as a sensible plan by many outsiders, viewing the monarchy as an important native institution—was unpopular, as the imperial family had come to be seen as little more than Gaullican lapdogs over a century of dominion.
Upon independence in 1939, the situation went from bad to worse. The country’s first prime minister was a prominent businessman, owning large sugar plantations and mills, seen as close to the imperial family, and allegations of corruption towards him and towards the royals soon began to swell. The government also began cracking down on civil society and activism, in the manner the Gaullican government once had, to bring things back into control. The All-Banfuran Popular Front, a small socialist party that upon the first elections after independence in 1941 only managed to elect two MPs, won almost 25% of the vote in 1944 elections on a platform that included strong workers’ rights laws, land protections for peasants, and racial equality. However, the government blocked them from joining Parliament after arresting several prominent party leaders, accusing them of sedition and insulting the emperor, and in 1945 banned the party altogether. The party’s agenda had become increasingly radical by this time in the face of government repression, and many members now supported the end of the Banfuran monarchy.
With the first prime minister ousted in 1945 due to the performance of the socialists and concerns about his age in the government, continued maneuvering among the Banfuran political elite led to a very unstable scene in Parliament. Banfura held general elections in 1941, 1944, 1946, 1947, and 1953, as successive governments either collapsed or chose to call snap elections to try to break parliamentary deadlocks. The emperor took on an increasingly large role in the governance of the country as prime ministers came and went or proved totally ineffectual.
After the ABPF was banned in 1945, there were initially protests, but these became dangerous as police sometimes used live ammunition and often tortured those who were arrested. Many senior party figures went underground, and in 1946 some decided to form the new armed wing of the party, the All-Banfuran Liberation Front (though some have characterized this as a schism, with the ABLF representing the radicals in the ABPF splitting off and choosing to pursue violent struggle). In any case, the ABLF began a nationwide campaign of sabotage, terrorism, guerrilla attacks, and assassinations. This campaign began in late 1946, around the elections (in December), when a series of ABLF bombings destroyed polling stations before they opened or after they closed on Election Day (mostly in the capital region), as well as striking the imperial palace’s main gate a day later. These bombings caused significant turmoil, and in the following months attacks would follow on several other important sites, including army and air force bases. The shock and uncertainty of this well-coordinated violence led to the eventual collapse of the government, triggering the 1947 elections, which would polarize the country and set the stage for subsequent developments.
The 1947 elections, though also marred by ABLF attacks, produced a very solidly conservative government supportive of the landed aristocracy, business interests, and the monarchy, and the emperor was said to have significant sway over the prime minister, who declared a “state of crisis”—importantly, not a state of emergency, but in practice still using this as an excuse to increase repression of the opposition and crack down on enemies of the state. Though the public’s view of the ABPF/ABLF had been somewhat tarnished by their violence (though not overly so, since plenty of violent agitation had been occurring before they emerged), the government crackdown was also very unpopular and led to a spike in ABLF attacks rather than a decline, though many ABLF or suspected ABLF militants would also be killed. The threat had helped push centrist and center-left parties’ vote share down in the ’47 elections, however, as the growing number of ABPF supporters generally refused to vote, and non-ABPF supporters moved to the right in response to the attacks. This meant that this government did not call early elections, but rather, as the security environment grew worse and worse, delayed holding elections as long as it could. The 1952 elections were cancelled due to security concerns, but public protest forced the government to hold them by 1953, when all hell broke loose.
In the leadup to the April elections, the ABLF significantly ramped up its already-considerable campaign, launching two assassination attempts on the prime minister in January, wounding the emperor in a mortar attack on the imperial palace (using mortar tubes smuggles onto the roof of an apartment building in the capital, a suicide mission) in early March, and most spectacularly, using suicide bombers to strike the parliament building and five separate ministries all on the morning of Election Day. ABLF guerrillas, who were increasingly present in the countryside, also attacked several military bases and took over a number of remote towns and plantations to shut down polling stations. The prime minister was re-elected and declared a state of emergency and martial law across the country, but in a surprising twist, was then forced to step down by the emperor and senior military leaders. The army chief took over as interim prime minister, with the emperor essentially in charge, and the period of Emergency Rule began, lasting until early 1956. This period saw, in essence, a massive guerrilla struggle slowly develop across the country, both in urban areas and in the countryside. In May of 1956, ABLF leaders launched full-blown uprisings in several cities and convinced some army units to mutiny, beginning the Banfuran Revolution. After eighteen months of vicious fighting, the imperial family and the crown jewels boarded a plane and fled to [some royalist/anti-commie country idk], and the People’s Republic of Banfura was born.
Postwar reconstruction, land reform, development projects, racial equality efforts – till ~1975
(Probably some repression of organized religion in there too)
~1975 recession and problems in 70s (esp late 70s)
1980-1990 some liberalization, threading the needle to avoid backsliding into tons of issues
1990-present, more liberalization and emergence of status quo (which basically consists of fairly chill 1 party rule with some kinda eh corruption, a somewhat uncomfortably strong military-security apparatus, and improving development/standard of living stuff and relations with neighbors)
In summary: things are like fine now pretty much
Military Overview:
Older equipment
Navy probably has a couple frigate/destroyer type things, maybe a couple creaky creaky old subs, a bunch of missile/torpedo/gunboat type things, some landing craft
Air Force probs has like rusty MiG-21s and lots of helos
Army will have some old tanks and APCs or whatever?
Probably a little on the big side, not fully modernized
Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Some more extreme Satyist or Sotirian sects are very disapproving, but most people are at least tolerant of LGBT sexual practices and whatnot. Civil partnerships have been on the table since the ‘50s probably, but marriage would’ve been much more recent of an adoption (socialist gov’t. doesn’t want to look like it’s stepping on progress, though, esp. since it’s sensitive to changing outside world, and is probably ahead of where a lot of social attitudes are on the issue in the country)
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Significant friction between Sotirians and Satyists, as well as between both religions and unbelievers (not helped by gov’t.’s historical policies of repressing organized religion, more strongly towards Sotirians but including Satyists as well), and within each religion between more chill sects and more extreme ones
• General population's view on atheism: The government and a large chunk of the population are on board
• General population's view on abortion: Legal without exception until the second trimester, when there are some more restrictions—like LGBT rights, some religious groups strongly oppose it, and while the population doesn’t oppose it or tolerates it, it’s still not seen as an awesome thing
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Ethnic Bahians and mixed people are still quite marginalized
• Any big prejudices in your nation: Racial conflict between ethnic Bahians/mixed people and ethnic Banfurans is probably the big one
• View on immigration into country: Not really a hot-button issue
• Women's Rights: People like them, still work to be done but not in too bad shape
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Alcohol and tobacco are legal, cannabis has a medical exemption and the state typically looks the other way, amphetamines are a big problem and hard drugs are illegal and socially stigmatized

  Head of Government: Prime Minister Tembeka Rubusana
  Requested GDP Per Capita: $2,005 (nominal) / $2,905 (PPP)
  National Overview: Since the latter half of the 11th century, much of Tabora had fallen under the influence of the veRwizi Empire, while smaller territories in the north of the country remained independent. This would remain stable until the arrival of the Weranians in XXXX, who steadily increased their presence through the construction of trading outposts at XX (modern day Mbiza) and XX (modern day Empembeni). Weranic dominance would culminate in the creation of XX in XXXX. Tabora would become a major source of gold and silver for Werania throughout much of the 19th century, while its vast fertile plains drew the settling of Weranic farmers. The Great War saw Tabora fall under Gaullican occupation throughout much of the war, where the functionalist regime extended its anti-Bahian culture oppression from neighboring Garambura. Following the end of the Great War and the return of Werania, Taborian nationalists led by the Imbube Yenkululeko declared independence, sparking the nine-year Taborian War. Using guerilla warfare and terror tactics against the Weranians, Tabora ultimately secured independence in 1950.
  
  In wake of independence, the various militias and rebel groups began fighting among themselves for post-war control over the country. In 1952, Thamsanqa Nzimande captured Ntendeka and stabilised the country. However, by 1956 intermittent clashes with rebel holdouts destabilised Tabora and Nzimande was overthrown by Butana Mdutyana who would rule Tabora until 1971 through violence and authoritarianism. In 1971, rebels under the Taborian Revolutionary Front overthrew Mdutyana's government and established the People's Republic of Tabora. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the country suffered from a series of low-level insurgencies, while the socialist government further undermined tribal identities, though some economic success was recorded with a modernisation of mines and agriculture. However, corruption, authoritarianism and growing health crises led to the overthrow of the socialist regime in the Taborian Revolution in 2002. The revolution gave way to a democratic presidential republic and a multi-party system. Since 2002, Tabora has experienced its longest period of peace and stability, with free and fair elections at all levels recorded. Since 2002, the Taborian economy has grown on average by 4-5% per year and numerous public health campaigns have aided development. In 2012, the first peaceful transition of power took place when Jonas Nofomela took over from Thulas Nxesi, the second peaceful transition occurred in 2014 when the National Jubilee Party defeated the long-ruling Party 2002 in that year's general election.
  
  Military Overview: The Taborian Defence Force consists of the Taborian Army, Taborian Air Force and Taborian Navy. The Army is the largest branch with 110,000 active soldiers and 150,000 reservists, while the Air Force and Navy are relatively small, with the former utilising at least 10 fixed wing aircraft and 5-10 helicopters for transport. The Navy consists of three cutters, two torpedo boats and one missile boat. The TDF has sought Euclean support in training, organisation and support, while also reaching out to Zorasan and Xiaodong for supplies. The TDF today is primarily used for internal security, the Dinokana Tribal Conflict and for peacekeeping across Bahia.
  
  Social views:
  
  • General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Generally accepted though discriminated against in rural communities
    
  • General population's view on religions other than the primary one: In rural areas there is common cases of religious violence between the dominant Catholic population and those who practice folkish faiths.
    
  • General population's view on atheism: Ambivalent, though viewed negatively in rural regions.
    
  • General population's view on abortion: Significant opposition among more traditionalist circles, though guaranteed under legislation
    
  • View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Generally very accepting, though there is negativity and controversy around rural communities who continue to practice tribal traditions or identities.
    
  • Any big prejudices in your nation: There is generally a wide-spread predujice against tribal communities, owing to long-lasting historic campaigns to end tribal identities for sake of a unified Taborian one. Predujices against other Bahian peoples is rare but reported.

National information
Official Name: Kingdom of Mabifia
Shortened Name: Mabifia
Requested Location: The spot currently occupied by Nasana as he has disappeared.
Requested Population: 47,982,681
Culture: (A brief summation of the nation's culture, language, and so forth. If it has a real-world equivalent or inspiration, be sure to list it here.)

• Ethnicity: Ndjarendie (!Fulani) form the majority, but there are significant !Dioula, !Mandinka, !Hausa and !Igbo plus some bantu group minorities plus some pygmies
• Religion: Irfan is the dominant and state religion, followed by around 90% of the population. Traditional faiths are still present in the more rural areas and make up approximately 7% of the population. While there was historically a large Sotiran population, they were for the most part killed or fled to Rwizikuru during the war.
• Languages: The official national languages are Ndjarendie and Gaullican, which is primarily used as an administrative language. There are 16 recognised national languages, most significantly !Dioula, !Mandinka, !Hausa and !Igbo. Aside from these 16, other languages are recognised depending on the local Karane.

Government Type: Somewhat Neo-Houregic elective semi-constitutional monarchy. The status of the monarch is best compared to Thailand, where despite not being hugely involved in politics he wields enormous power.
Head of State: Hourege Mahmadou Jolleh-Bande
Head of Government: Prime Minister Adama Buhari
National Overview: The Kingdom of Mabifia (Ndjarendie: Hooreejiteeri ko Mawbifiya, Gaullican: Houregerie de Mabifie), most commonly referred to as Mabifia, is a sovereign state in southern and western Bahia. It borders Zorasan to the west, Kaiye Tourie to the North and Rwizikuru to the east. It has a population of nearly 48 million, over 9 million of whom live in the capital of Ainde. It is divided into sixteen Karanates and twelve departments, which are futher divided into several types of administrative division.

Mabifia has been a site of continuous human inhabitation since the early neolithic era, with archaeological records attesting to development within the Gabima river basin from this time. Southern Mabifia, with its location on the southern coast of Bahia, was an early adopter of the so-called "Bahian village system" and the site of several key trading cities in the classical era. However, it was not until the spread of Irfan into the region and the Bahian Consolidation that Mabifia attained its prominence. The western regions of Mabifia, which are covered by the Fersi desert, saw the rise of the Founagé Dominion of Heaven. This was the first of the Bahian Jihad states which triggered the consolidation and growth of the Hourege system. These states managed to conquer almost all of the modern day borders by the 13th century, with the remaining territory being held by the veRwizi empire in the south-east and Kingdom of Kambu in the north. With the end of the golden age and Bahian collapse, Mabifia was annexed by the Gaullican empire. However, this control was never fully successful at submitting the Ndjarendie warbands which roamed the central harmattan plains despite their pacification in 1927 under the national functionalists and this meant that traditional Karanes still wielded large amounts of power. Independence was won following the transfer of the land to Estmere, but the independence movement was highly divided between Bahian Socialists led by Fuad Onika and the traditionalist Karanes. The first Mabifian civil war soon broke out, with the socialists winning power thanks to foreign backing. An authoritarian state was soon established, with collectivist policies which aimed to restore an idealised version of the Village System and persecution of traditional authorities. This new regime began to falter in the seventies, as economic action slowed down in the wake of the war with Rwizikuru. The traditional karanes, whose respect in the eyes of the populace had grown as the socialist regime lost relevance, soon called for an uprising, finding an unlikely ally in the student democratic activists in the more developed cities. This started a second civil war, which raged between 1973 and 1978 and destroyed much of the nation's infrastructure. The rebels won, with a new state set up that established a democratic state while legally enshrining the positions of the Karanes in the state.

In the modern era, Mabifia is a regional power. Its elective monarchy, while officially a figurehead, maintains major influence over society, while the democratic system is marrred by accusations of corruption and intransparency. Its economy is highly underdeveloped, owing mainly to corruption and regionalism which have decreased from the potential natural wealth of Mabifia. Much of the population is dependent on subsistence farming, with food insecurity rated as the highest in the world and food supplies further threatened by desertification. In international affairs, Mabifia is a member of the Congress of Bahian States and pursues close relations with its Bahian neighbours, but is highly dependent on Zorasan economically and politically.

Military Overview: The Mabifian National Armed Forces is the largest military force in Bahia, numbering at approximately 500,000 men. Despite this numerical advantage, it is highly weakened by severely outdated equipment, an extremely weak air force, and major clan-based loyalty issues which mean it struggles to operate as a cohesive unit.

Shortened Name: Temsei
Requested Location: here
Requested Population: 7.2 million
Culture: Temsei is primarily dominated by the Imaseygh (!Tuareg) people, with a significant Badawiyan minority. Smaller populations of Dardai (!Toubou) and other ethnicities exist.

• Religion: 88.4% Irfan, 8.6% traditional faiths, 3% other
• Languages: Tamseyit and Badawiyan are the two most spoken languages. Tamseyit is spoken by the majority of the population amongst the Imaseygh, but Badawiyan is used primarily as the language of administration. Dardai is also spoken in the far west of the country amongst the Dardai nomads.

Government Type: Unitary semi-presidential Irfanic republic
Head of State: President Moussa ag Acherif ⵎⵓⵓⵙⵙⴰ ⴰⴳ ⴰⵛⵀⵔⵉⴼ
Head of Government: Prime Minister Mohammed ag Ghaly ⵎⵓⵀⴰⵎⵎⴷ ⴰⴳ ⴳⵀⴰⵍⵢ
Requested GDP Per Capita: $3,952
National Overview:

Temsei's history can be traced back to its role in pan-Bahian trade, connecting South Euclea to the resource-rich east. The ports of what is modern-day Temsei brought the wealth of gold and slaves through the arid deserts to the fertile coast when trade flourished. Imaseygh towns in the deserts served as important centers of Bahian trade, exchanging the gold, ivory, and slaves with caravans that journeyed to the western entrepôts. Another effect of such trade was the introduction of Irfan to the Imaseygh tribes from the Badawiyan-dominated coast. Although extremely wealthy in the medieval era, the fabled 'cities of gold' quickly went into the decline with the introduction of faster and more efficient maritime trade routes. The lands that constitute modern Temsei were frequently fought over and conquered by various Imaseygh tribal confederations and sultanates over time.

By the late 18th century, the states and peoples of the region were greatly weakened, with a variety of economic problems and shortages of basic goods. This spurred a series of jihads against the traditional nations, with Imaseygh tribal rebellions aiming to set up Irfanic states. The resulting 'jihad states' aimed to counter the encroachment of Euclean colonialism, but by the 19th century, most of Temsei had been brought under colonial rule. Active resistance against the colonialists lasted into the 20th century, but colonial rule had been firmly established through the use of military force against the rebelling Imaseygh tribes. Temsei gained its independence in the mid-20th century, plagued immediately by a variety of socio-economic issues.

Independent Temsei was first faced with the issues of artificial colonial borders- under colonial rule, Temsei's borders had been artificially drawn thus bringing fundamentally different ethnic groups under the control of a single state. The Badawiyan-dominated fertile western coast was the nation's heartland and a vast divide between the prosperous coast and the undeveloped arid desert homeland of the Imaseygh to the east led to a period of strife and ethnic violence. The coast and by extension Badawiyans as a whole, as a result of their economic significance, came to dominate post-independence Temseian politics. The Patriotic Rally for Liberation, a primarily Badawiyan political party came into power after independence and consolidated their rule under a one-party state organized along socialist lines.

The economically and ethnically divided nation was characterized by policies favoring the Badawiyan minority and unequal representation of other ethnicities in government. A declining economy coupled with inter-faction fighting amongst the government led to a military coup in 1984, bringing the country under a transitional military government that lasted until 1992. A civilian, multi-party democracy was established, although today Temsei is still considered as a flawed democracy and human rights violations including its adherence to traditional Irfanic law has been questioned. Presently, Temsei remains regionally significant. The country remains under strict adherence to Sharia Law, and an economic divide between the coast and undeveloped west still remains.

Military Overview: The Temseian National Liberation Army is small, at around 7,500 active personnel and a further 4,000 reserves. The army has been criticized as being underpaid and underequipped, with a small air force and a navy too small to effectively protect its territorial waters.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Extremely negative. Stoning of LGBT individuals are not unheard of.
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Negative, other faiths are repressed by the Irfanic government.
• General population's view on atheism: Repressed.
• General population's view on abortion: Illegal, unless under certain circumstances such as rape.
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Ethnic tensions exist especially between the Badawiyans and the Imaseygh, largely due to the Badawiyan dominance of the economy and politics in a majority-Imaseygh state.
• Any big prejudices in your nation: Tensions between Badawiyans and Imaseygh due to the socio-economic divide, while Dardai herders frequently come into conflict with the Imaseygh over cattle herding disputes.
• View on immigration into country: Immigration into Temsei is quite unheard of.
• Women's Rights: Rather surprisingly, women are highly respected in Imaseygh culture. In the medieval era, it was not unheard of for Imaseygh women to become tribal leaders. Amongst the more religious peoples, women's rights are restricted compared to that of men.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Extremely negative, as all go against Irfanic law.

National information
Official Name: The Confederation of Adiris,( קונפדרצייתאדיריס In atudite) (اتحاد اداريس in !Arabic) (ikhud adirit In Betradrite)
Shortened Name: Adiris
Requested Location: http://i.icap.me/1091570065975c330.png
Requested Population: 37,600,054
Culture: Adiris calls itself the homeland of the peoples of the Covenant. The Covenant, of course, is referring to ancient atudite covenant of various ancient tribal peoples that would become the Betradite (Phoenician) Atudite!Edomite !Moabite and !Ammonite peoples. Of course, this "Homeland of the Covenant" contains other's not exactly fitting this description, such as the Badawiyan and Öroqic peoples along with the Descendants of Estmerish colonists. A similarity from there Tsbarian neighbors to the south emerges where the coastlines are much more urban and commercial in nature while the inland regions are much more rural. Besides a couple of cites and large towns and are much more traditional-minded.

• Ethnicity: Betadrite: 30%, !Edomite:25%, !Moabite: 15%. !Ammonite: 10%, Atudite: 7%, Badawiyan: 10 %, Öroqic: 2%, Estmerish: 1%
• Religion: The Confederation as per the rules set down in the Constitution does not recognize a state religion due to the sheer diversity and sensitivity that religion plays in the life of the average Adirite. As for the dominant religion, one might point to Atudism, far outreaching the ethnic group of its namesake. It is followed second by Sotirianity and finally Irfanic in third. There is also a segment of the population that follows the old folk religions, but this is a tiny segment.
• Languages: The Confederation has about three official languages, Estmerish, Betadrite, and atudite. Badawiyan is also a widely spoken language among the Ifranic population, but it is not considered an official language. Among the minor languages are various local languages spoken by the !Cannanite tribal peoples and the confederation has encouraged many to start trying to learn Gaullican to better connect the Confederation with the greater international community

Government Type: Representative Confederation
Head of State: Shufet Balthezar Ben-Hanno
Head of Government: High Councilor Samuel ben Osi
Requested GDP Per Capita: 19,000
National Overview: The lands that make up the Confederation have only been a united force rather recently in Grand Scale of Geopolitics, only gaining independence in the 1940s. The region, however, does have a very ancient history dating back centuries. For a brief rundown, however, the region before the rise of the Solarian empire was divided. On the coastlands, you had the Betadrite city-states, though they grew wealthy and influential through trade, fierce competition and rivalry prevented the Betradrites ever unifying into a single political unit. Inland you would find the various kingdoms of the !Cannanite peoples whose constant infighting and meddling from outside powers would prevent anyone king from gaining too much power. Though these peoples shared similar cultures and some would say similar religious views and even intermarried rather frequently the idea of them ever uniting, even by the sword was seen as an impossibility. Even the Solarian empire began their conquests of the region the nations preferred to fight amongst themselves than unite to drive off this threat was eventually subsumed into the empire.

What followed was a cycle for the region where an outside empire would conquer them, Regain independence and squabble amongst themselves, and then be consumed once more. This cycle did bring many changes to the region. Soltrianity and Iran came with the Solarian empire and the Iranic conquers. During the crusades, some of these states would even aid the crusaders with others who would attempt to stem their tide (Note this is what happened in the event crusades did happen). Though the religions and aspects of their cultures did stay, the empires never fully enforced their own culture upon the region, and the Atudite and folk faith's still held sway in the area for centuries to come

But you may ask, Atudism ? Isn't that an ethnic faith mainly practiced by the Atudities in what is now Tsbara and some diasporic communities, how would it become the dominant faith in this region? It is a rather complicated story but for the short version. Along time ago (At least according to Atudite Scriptures) Their was a great Covenant between the tribes that would become the Atudites, Betadrites, !Edomites, !Ammonites, and !Moabite peoples. Now whether this pact was a ceremonial one, or an actual political alliance, or more of a spiritual thing is hotly debated. Still, it undoubtedly helped the region embrace that faith along with the influence of Atudite merchants in the Betadrite cities. I encourage you to pay attention to the Covenant, for it is going to become important later on in our story.

The cycle of Independence and empires continued until the arrival of the Estmerish in 1862. Who after conquering their way through the Betadrite states and various!Canaanite nations had decided on dividing the region into multiple protectorates based on both Ethnic and religious lines in order the all too common issue of inter-religious and ethnic conflict that had come to plague Adiris. Though there were border disputes between these new states, the might of Estmerish arms and governance kept the peace. The Estmerish era was a transformative era for the region. Now there was a universal language that the people could use to communicate among themselves. The garrisons prevented the worst of the conflict that had plagued the people for centuries. The infusion of estmerish culture left a mark that can be seen in the coastal cities to this day in buildings that were built during this era. There also emerged a movement during this era. This movement was led by a group that believed that the peoples of the Covenant were to repeat the cycle of conquests and petty conflicts forever. Unless there were to unite into a single nation. This idea was regarded as a novel one at best and utterly foolish at worst, how would it be possible for such a nation, with barley any precedent in this history of the region to even be possible. Surely these men, who were educated on both the accounts of Atudite theology and Eculean republicanism, were just drunk on the idealism of such a concept could not even fathom the political impossibility of such an absurd idea. However, my friend's things were about to change. And what's the most considerable change of all than a World War?

Though a tragedy in many parts, including to the men from the protectorates who died serving in Estmere's colonial armies the aftermath of the war was seen as a great opportunity for the various independence groups in the region. The conflict had negatively affected the colonial powers greatly and was seen as a chance to eventually win independence. As it drew closer many different independence factions vied for control of the makeup of the independence of the Region, there were those who wanted to make the protectorates into independent nations, these were the traditionalists. While the Coventials desired a united Adiris based on the ancient atudite covenant. In the end, the Coventials won out and with Adirite independence granted in 1946 negotiations began into forming the government.

Forming a united Adiris of people that have never been united proved to be a difficult task, to say the least. The !Canaanites feared the Betadrites in their wealthy cities and coastlands would hold too much power, the Irfanic's feared that they would be pushed out of the nation as a whole, There where estmerish settlers who feared retaliation. There where many comprise in the end, one the Nation would be named the Confederation of Adiris, 2 it would be a secular nation that would respect the religions of all it's people and holds none above the other. The borders of the old protectorates would still stand and would be made constituent states of the Confederacy. All peoples would also be seen as equals under the law, The Government was set up with a Unicarmel legislative branch, with the provinces of the confederacy being granted rights of self-governance similar too one under a federation but with a little more leeway it was decided that only the Council of the Confederation, headed by the councilor would be the only one needed. The Council decides on legislation that would affect the states of the confederacy as a whole. The Head of the confederation is given the title Shufet, an old atudite word meaning judge. The Shufet is the overall leader of the Confederacy and is considered the supreme commander of the military forces of the Confederacy. Though the individual states have a lot of leeway in self-governance that still has to follow obligations to the confederation such as taxation, obeying legislation passed by the grand council, extradition of fugitives, etc.

The more modern history of Adiris has seen some very turbulent times. The design of the confederation was so that no one group would be able to hold power over the other. But a loophole in state laws allowed the State's to make their own state religions completely bypassing confederate law. Attempts in the Courts to overrule this matter failed however and still to this day while the confederate government might be secular a state could officially be Atudite or Irfanic or what have you. There has also been low level's of Irfanic insurgency's in the southern states that the government has been fighting on and off since the 1960's claiming that the Irfamic people of Adiris are being subsumed by the Atudite religious Majority and their Sotirian allies. The government has also been dominated by the Betadrites on the coast for a long time, using their wealth and control of the nations vital seaports the Betadrites have the economic power to push their wills upon the rest of the confederation. The government has also come under the influence of what is called the "Merchant Princes" a collection of wealthy businessmen comparable to Oligarchs, their support is Almost critical for any election campaigns both on a state and Confederate level. The Atudite ethnic group that has existed in the region with their "Cousins" has recently gained some more people from both the Collapse of the Draputine-Atudite government in Tsbara in 1948 and some arrivals seeking to flee from an increasingly hostile government. There have always been mummers for the ultra-nationalist sects that the Atudite's of Tsbarba should be part of a Greater Adirite confederacy with the holy city as it's capital. This talk has grown slightly louder with the news coming out of Tsbara recently. The current government under the Center-Left shufet Balthezar Ben-Hanno and the Adirite Liberal Bloc has blocked any talk of such a maneuver, but with the increasing power of the Oligarchs, attacks on Irframic citizens on the rise, calls for retaliation by Atudite citizens for attacks on temples by Insurgent's as well as threats from abroad will bring the government on nearing the beginning of election season on edge. Will the confederation pull through these tough time and the dream of the covenant be fulfilled, or will it end as it began..with petty Pickering.



Military Overview: Of all the duties given to the Confederate government, the maintenance and use of a national military have been one of it's strongest assets. Their main goals of the military have been the defense of the Confederation against hostile forces both internal and external. They have always attempted to keep a modern fighting force at the ready, especially with their neighbor to the south Tsbara who they suspect of funding the Irfanic insurgents in the south. The navy and the airforce serve much the same focus, with especially the navy receiving special attention from the Betadrites whom they refer to as the pride of the confederation. It is mainly an all-volunteer force tough registration with the draft is a national law. Current numbers have the Confederate Military at about 500'000 soldiers with about another 300,000 in reserve.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Adiris is considered one of the "Safest" nations in the region for the LGBT community. They are considered legally protected under Confederate law and the act of Homosexuality has been decriminalized for at least since the 1950s. Though even with protection there have been reports of attacks on members of the community whether it was verbal or physical especially among adherents of the more extreme beliefs in the nation. Though like most places the general rule is the cities are much safer for them than the rural communities.
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: The Confederacy is officially a secular nation, this is due in most part to the diversity of beliefs among the people. While states can declare their own religion it is generally practiced to leave no believers alone so as not to provoke the wrath of the confederate government. However, there is a general distrust among the religions but those matters can be set aside for matters of national importance. Of all the religions Irfram has been treated the worst as of late, being viewed as the oppressor's religion due to their association with the nation's past and the current situation in both the south and Tsbar as a whole. As a result suspicion between the religions and in some cases, religious extremism are not issues that the average adirite are not unfamiliar with. The most extreme example being the Irfamic insurgencies in the Southern states and reports of Atudites in the majority Iframic southern states being assaulted as well some persecution by the More extreme Atudites and Soltarian's against the Ifranic peoples. Though the states could say this is not a sanctioned persecution as they have no control over the actions of individuals. There have also been reports of extremist Soltarians attacking atudites and vice versa futher adding ti the disturst these religions view each other with even in the greater scale of Covenital unity.
• General population's view on atheism: Atheism in itself is not particularly a divisive issue within the general community. Though viewed with suspicion by many of the more religious-minded people in the country Atheism is generally regarded as barley a spec in the greater scale of things and is generally ignored. Though there is a greater hatred of them in the !Cannanite regions and attacks there are more common that the Betadrite regions.
• General population's view on abortion: Abortion is a very controversial issue that the Confederate government has left to the states to decide. Among most people, abortion is either a great evil or a necessary one in the cases where it would kill the mother or was the result of rape or incest or a matter of womens choice, the latter is, however, a not very prevalent view in society. Some states have fewer regulation others it is outlawed completely or somewhere in the middle but it is generally frowned upon to consider one.
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): The nation itself is described as a Homeland of the people of the Covenant, which means a home for the Betadrite !Ammonite, !Edomite Atudite, and !Moabite peoples. This covenant, when taken to a secular meaning, is meant to surpass ethnic and religious lines. The Badawiyan and Öroqic peoples, however, though technically citizens are not considered people of the covenant, which can make them targets for discrimination. Some view them as alien, descendants of invaders and reports of attacks are not all too uncommon, especially in areas dominated by recent Tsbaran Atudites. The estmerish are considered remnants of the colonials but are generally heavily protected by the government and left alone due to their statistically higher rates of wealth than the average citizen. Even among the Covenant, there is sill dysfunction, many view the Betadrites as having too much power and being greedy and decadent while the ! Canaanites are considered backwoods and traditional.
• Any big prejudices in your nation: The divide between the people's over their religious affiliation. Though a state that is supposed to be secular, a land of the Covenant where the act of Covenant should supplant all religious affiliation. This ideal is very hard to meet however with general distrust between the groups always coming in between social groups, especially among the Irfamic population.
• View on immigration into country: Generally immigration could be viewed with a rather neutral tone, the majority of the immigrants seem to come from members of the Covenants such as Atudite Tsbaran's moving in. Anyone not really following this trend besides maybe Estmerish is viewed with suspicion.
• Women's Rights: Women are enfranchised to vote in both state and Confederate Elections as decreed in national law. Though reproductive and other laws effecting them are generally decided by the states with view Confederate interference, except maybe criminal matters, this power is rarely used.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs:

The Regulation of Tobacco and Alcohol is really decided by the States, pot is also regulated by the states, while most have laws legalizing alcohol and tobacco some of the Irfamic states have actually declared a prohibition on both alchol. Pot is mostly illegal however except in a view Betadrite dominated states and only for medical reasons.

[Lemovicia]

National information
Official Name: State of Lemovicia
Shortened Name: Lemovicia
Requested Location: In orange in Euclea
Requested Population: Around 9.5 million as of the 2017 census
Culture: Lemovicia's indigenous culture would be a Tenic-based culture, which nowadays would be concentrated more in the centre of the country, and would speak Lemovician, or a Tenic language that would be more similar to Continental Celtic languages IRL than to the existing Celtic languages, and the Lemovicians would follow Episimialist Sotirianity. However, the majority of the population would be Gaullican-speaking Catholics who would either have assimilated into Gaullican culture over the centuries it was under Gaullican rule, or were migrants from Gaullica proper from its annexation into Gaullica until the end of the Great War. (A brief summation of the nation's culture, language, and so forth. If it has a real-world equivalent or inspiration, be sure to list it here.)

• Ethnicity: 65% of the population would be Gaullican, 30% Lemovician, and the remainder would be other minorities, primarily Amathians.
• Religion: 55% would be Catholic, 40% would be Episimialist (would have been the official religion of Lemovicia from 1936 to 1983), and the remainder would follow other religions, or are irreligious.
• Languages: The most dominant language would be Gaullican, followed by the Lemovician language, with both being co-official. A regionally recognized language in southern Lemovicia would be Amathian, and an unofficial language that is dying would probably be Gallo spoken in the northeast.

Government Type: Unitary constitutional monarchy, with the monarchy being an elective monarchy
Head of State: Rik (meaning King in Lemovician) Lúkás Mahoin
Head of Government: Or (literally meaning heir in Lemovician) Jean-Pierre Baillairgé
Requested GDP Per Capita: $20,820 PPP, $6,477 nominally
National Overview: The history in short would be Tenic tribes, Solarian Empire, Empire of Arciluco, Kingdom of Lemovicia, annexation by Gaullica (after some Gaullican King was elected to the Kingship of Lemovicia in the 1400s or 1500s), integration with Gaullica, rebellion during the Great War (maybe from 1932), independent not!Falangist state under Oin Maruari from independence in 1936 to his death in 1976, transition to democracy in late 1970s and early 1980s with equality for all, joining the Euclean Community in the 1990s, and here we are.
Military Overview: The Lemovician Army is small, with only 47,513 people being part of it, either in logistics or in the armed services, and has been at that size since the 1990s at the latest (1980s at the earliest). While historically, it had a large domestic role under the not!Falangists, its domestic role is nowadays mostly negligible, and mostly contained to guarding government buildings and what not. Internationally, at best, it would engage in peacekeeping operations alongside other states, but that's about it.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: While Gaullicans would be supportive of LGBT rights, Lemovicians and Amathians would be opposed to LGBT rights and LGBT people.
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: While the Epismialists would be suspicious of Catholicism, and vice-versa, they are generally pretty tolerant, especially among the younger generations and in the cities.
• General population's view on atheism: Younger people will be more supportive of atheism than older people.
• General population's view on abortion: Lemovicians, Amathians, and older Gaullicans would oppose abortion, and abortion would probably be only legal for specific reasons.
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Lemovicians would see Gaullicans as being "colonials who should have left post-Great War," but other than that, relations would generally be decent.
• Any big prejudices in your nation: Gaullicans would probably be looked down upon by many Lemovicians due to being "colonial masters" who oppressed the Lemovicians, but this is dying out as more and more old people die out.
• View on immigration into country: Many people in Lemovicia would be wary of immigration, especially the ethnic Lemovicians who are a minority in their own country. However, especially in the cities and among younger people, there is support for immigration.
• Women's Rights: Women's rights have been given huge strides in recent decades, with women only being given the right to vote, as well as to divorce, in 1982, and abortion would be legalized in the 1990s.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Tobacco and alcohol is a-okay here, but cannabis and meth and what not can fuck off.

National information
Official Name: Crowned Republic of Lehresan
Shortened Name: Lehresan
Requested Location: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png The three small islands in green
Requested Population: 3.133.641
Culture: (A brief summation of the nation's culture, language, and so forth. If it has a real-world equivalent or inspiration, be sure to list it here.)

• Ethnicity: A vast majority of Lehresani citizens are domestic Lehresani, with a large minority of people descending from former colonizers.
  
• Religion: Most Lehresani are Amendists, with a minority of Solarian Catholics.
  
• Languages: Most Lehresani citizens speak the Lehresani (Maltese) language. Estmerish (English) is understood as a conversational language due to its history.

Government Type: Unitary parliamentary crowned republic
Head of State: Princess Marie Tomasi
Head of Government: Prime Minister Kyrin Turcis, representing the Patriotic Appeal
Requested GDP Per Capita: $26,948
National Overview: Lehresan is a sovereign nation in Northwestern Coius, having strong relations to Euclea since its conscription by [possibly Estmere?]. The nation was also part of the Floren Empire.
Military Overview: The Lehresani army is a small and stable conscript force currently consisting of around 25,000 soldiers. Conscription is employed although civil service is allowed as an alternative. The army operates using mostly imported Euclean weaponry.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: The Amendist Church in Lehresan has officially adopted a policy of support and has introduced liturgy for LGBT+ people. The government legalised gay marriage in 2005 and a majority of Lehresani are tolerant towards LGBT+ rights.
  
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: The party Fuq il-Lemin (More to the Right) has campaigned for a ban of Irfan in the nation, although the party is relatively small. Most people are generally supportive of other religions.
  
• General population's view on atheism: Around 40% of the population is atheist; the younger generations are mostly atheist and the church has seen a major decline in popularity. The church still has influence on national politics.
  
• General population's view on abortion: Abortion laws in Lehresan are restrictive, as it is seen as a procedure which should only be performed in cases of danger. Instead, the government has embraced informative campaigns for safe sex. The major left-wing party, Flimkien, supports legalizing abortion.
  
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): The descendants of colonizers were often discriminated against, but this grudge has decreased recently.
  
• Any big prejudices in your nation:
  
• View on immigration into country: Both major parties are generally supportive of immigration, although the populist Fuq il-Lemin strongly campaigns against it.
  
• Women's Rights: Similarly to equivalents in Euclea, womens rights are very tolerant and discrimination is uncommon. Since 2013, quota's are enforced for companies and political organisations. For elections, at least 45% of the candidates on the electoral list must be women.
  
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Lehresan employs a restrictive policy on tobacco and alcohol, which are only sold in state monopoly stores. Marijuana has been semi-legalised and is also sold in state monopoly stores. Other drugs are illegal although punishments are low and rehabilitation is preferred.

[Cavunia]

Version 3.0 I guess

National information
Official Name: The Republic of Cavunia
Shortened Name: Cavunia
Requested Location: The draft given by the mods is completely fine with me
Requested Population: 27 million
Culture: Definitely fitting into Coian culture group. Formerly a loose federation of various nomadic tribes that wandered mountains and steppes, currently a proud nation with neo-tribal identities. One official languages, a few regional as well. Real world equivalent - Kazakh, Kyrgyz or Uzbek people, with Turkic-Mongolic influences. Currently developing a base for my language.

• Ethnicity: Kunak people are a predominant group and they further split intro sub-groups, what was once known as tribes. A total of 7 ethnic groups from the Kunak branch, as well as a few other Coian minorities. It might have not been a place of interest for Euclean people.
• Religion: Satyism or Tulgriism, a set of beliefs rather than a single godlike figure. Not very religious people.
• Languages: Again, Kunak languages branch is the most dominant one, with the Standard Kunak language being used on the official level. Several other Kunak languages are used throught the country.

Government Type: A democratic, yet corrupt republic. Most of the authority comes from the family clans, which tend to rule for longer periods of time. Decentralized country with some level of autonomy within its provinces.
Head of State: president Ari Maltykka
Head of Government: chief Ghyokso Hodonuglu
Requested GDP Per Capita: ~7'500 $
National Overview: People first settled in the area around 3rd century and started a nomadic culture that would last until 17th century. Due to harsh climate and natural bareers, the people were divided into different tribes that would often fight with each other, mostly for control over the freshwater sources or the steppes. The very first states were founded here around 10th century, after tribal chiefs (known as bani would unite several groups and raid neighbouring nations. Around the lake, the first cities were created in 12th century, becoming a hub of trade with southern Coian states. Often in the istory, parts of that is now Cavunia would become a tributary state of some more powerful kingdom. It was only until 1634 that bani Udoo would gather rule over most of the tribes and settle them, starting a banirai of Cavunia, a warmongering state that controlled most of the Coian steppe. Since the beggining of 19th century, Cavunia would collapse and unite more than one time, falling victim to neighbouring, more modern nations and seeking a way to maintain national identity. Maybe a bunch of puppet states in the late 19th century, that only gained independce after the Great War and, with help of eastern powers, would rise as an industrial powerhouse.
Military Overview: Historically, Cavunian bani were known as raiding lords and Cavunian cavalary was one of the most feared in the continent. Nowadays, the military power of the country is marginal. It has no naval military and only a few aircraft. Technology is later obsolete and military is used rather to keep internal peace than to be thrown into global conflicts.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: LGBT+ is not punished but is widely regarded as inappropriate. There are no laws protecting queer people and those individuals may face severe negativity from people around them.
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Cavunia is religiously tolerant. Religions played only a minor part of its culture, where family bonds and tribal tradition are regarded as the mayor fundaments of Cavunian identity.
• General population's view on atheism: Atheists may constitute as only a few percent of the population, however a lot of Cavunians does not practice any religion at all.
• General population's view on abortion: Abortion is illegal, though many clinics offer those services if one can pay enough. Doctors commiting the fact might be faced with a fine, while the pregnant women can be sentenced for up to 2 years. The punishments are rare, though, because of the high cost of the judical proceedings.
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Because of the ethnic diversity, most Cavunians do not mind other groups, especially those within Coian cultural group. Euclean people may be often perceived very stereotypically as "rich and arrogant".
• Any big prejudices in your nation: I don't think so. Prejudices rather come within the clans.
• View on immigration into country: Cavunia was more often than not sending immigrants rather than receiving them. Immigrants are welcome, at least until they do not interfere with any of the traditions. Easterners may be often a subject of intense staring and may find it hard to assimilate.
• Women's Rights: Women played a marginal role in the society up until the Great War. After froming of the republic, they gained voting laws and enjoyed an easier access to education and job positions. Currently, there's a significant wage gap between genders and some fields, like administration and education is male-dominated.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs:

Drugs are not legal, however alcoholism is a common problem, especially in the rural areas. Some narcotic plants used during the traditional ceremonies are perceived as a compulsory cultural element.

Requested Population: 64,785,900
Culture: The plurality culture is a bog standard religious conservative analogous to irl conservative Muslim countries.

• Ethnicity: Pashtun, Persians, Armenians, whatever ethnic groups are north Karz
• Religion: 94.5% Irfan, with a further break down of 90.4% Asha and 9.6% Hasawi; 4.29% Satyism; 1.21% Other or unaffiliated
• Languages: Dari Persian and Pashto are co-official with minority status granted to Armenian. Other languages aren’t recognised

Government Type: Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy
Head of State: Alamgir III
Head of Government: Grand Vizier Samander al-Arash
Requested GDP Per Capita: $10,600 (nominal), ~$24,000 (PPP)
National Overview: Government: Flawed democracy racked with corruption and periodic coup d’etats, the most recent being in 2012. These coups often accompany new constitutions with the 2016 constitution being the newest. This constitution reinstituted powers previously taken away from the shah (such as giving the monarch personal management during constitutional crises) and reinstituted lese majeste laws. The 2016 Constitution created a bicameral parliament with an appointed 150 member upper house and an elected 400 member lower house. A committee of 10 people select all of the upper house, with the exception of five seats which are reserved for the heads of the army, navy, air force, police, and supreme military commander. 300 members of the lower house are elected through FPTP while the remaining 100 elected through party lists.

Economy - would be considered newly industrialised with high ease of conducting business. Ideally would be considered one of the larger Hyndic economies. Manufacturing sector dominant with an expanding tertiary sector, largely in the form of tourism.

History: Pre-Colonialism history TBD. Unequal treaties begin being signed in the early 1800s, with larger concessions being forfeited to Etruria between 1890-1910. Constitutional monarchy introduced in 1921. GW history TBD. Solarian War sees Amardia retrake Etrurian concessions. Amardia would intervene on the side of the royalists during the Pardarian civil war. Contemporary history would be a mix of political crises and attempts to grow closer to Euclea.
Military Overview: Fairly average military with no outstanding or debilitating tendencies. Conscription is present but is rarely used due to high enlistment rates. Total size is ~0.8% of the population
Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Homosexuality remains criminalised under a variety of anti-sodomy laws. Consequently same-sex marriage is illegal.
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Non-Irfanic practitioners, while protected by the government, often face societal discrimination (i.e not being hired for certain jobs if there is an Irfanic applicant) and find it harder to fully integrate into Amardian society.
• General population's view on atheism: Atheism is, technically, outlawed under the 2016 Constitution, which equates atheism to the rejectment of the Irfani God. Because of this, most atheists are “in the closet.”
• General population's view on abortion: Abortion is illegal except in extreme cases (mother’s health or incestual rape). Abortion as a whole is typically looked down upon
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): !Turkic peoples are often seen as uncultured and lazy. Hyndics are considered to be hardworking.
• Any big prejudices in your nation: See above.
• View on immigration into country: Few immigrate to Amardia, and thus it isn’t seen as much of an issue on the national scale. Most are content with immigrants so long as they integrate into society.
• Women's Rights: Amardian society is, by its nature of being structured around Irfanic law, very patriarchal. While gender equality has improved over the last 50 years, there are nowhere near to the extent of Armadia’s neighbours and Euclea.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Tobacco usage is fairly common among all ages, as is alcohol consumption. Marijuana and other drugs are illegal and no distinction is made between “soft drugs” and “hard drugs.” This leads to fairly heavy sentences for drug users regardless of the type of drug they’re abusing.

Government Type: Federal Single-Party Socialist Republic
Head of State: Tawadros Makarios
Head of Government: Menelik Maryam
Requested GDP Per Capita: $8,125
National Overview: At the crossroads of Coius, Badawiya, and Bahia, Djedet is home to several ancient civilizations. In the 4th millennia b.c.e. the Diwah (Egyptian) civilization developed along the upper Faras River, followed by the Medewi (Nubian) civilization to the south. Centered around Ninevah in Zorasan and Harran in Djedet, the !Assyrian Empire developed in the southwest. The region would be ruled by a succession of Diwah, Medewi, !Assyrian, and Habashan empires until the arrival Christianity in the 2nd century c.e.. The new faith spread rapidly across the region, leading the eventual foundation of the !Coptic, !Nubian, !Assyrian, and Habashan (?) Orthodox Churches. Djedet and its surrounding regions came under the control of the !Coptic Kingdom of Mina in the 3rd century c.e. before being conquered by the !Nubian Kingdom of Dotawo in the 4th century c.e. After the collapse of Dotawo in the 10th century the west bank of the Faras River came under the control of the Irfani Ghazi Dynasty. Eastern Djedet continued to be ruled by a collection of !Coptic and !Nubian states. In the 13th century the Second Kingdom of Mina overthrew the Ghazi Dynasty and re-established !Coptic rule over Djedet before moving north up to the Faras Delta on the Bahian Coast. Djedet, ruled by the Kingdom of Damiadi, was invaded by Gaullica and turned into a protectorate in 1880. Djedet declared independence after the collapse of Gaullican control in Coius and Badawiya in 1933. A nationalist military coup overthrew King Demetrios, leading to the proclamation of a republic in 1939. This resulted in a three-way civil war between monarchists, communists, and the nationalist government. The civil war ended when the communists took the monarchist stronghold of Souan in 1943. The Union of Djedet was declared on May 14 1944.
Military Overview: Generally on the level of Ethiopia.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: While homosexuality is not explicitly illegal, it is largely frowned upon, especially in the conservative countryside. However, while slow, the state of LGBT+ rights in Djedet has been steadily improving in recent years, though official recognition and protection is unlikely to happen soon.
  
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Although religious minorities are protected by the constitution, members of the Irfani community often face discrimination and harassment.
  
• General population's view on atheism: Djedet is heavily religious. Atheists are viewed with suspicion and hostility.
  
• General population's view on abortion: Abortion is legal, though there is a heavy social stigma against it.
  
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Although racism is an issue, religion is more important than race. !Coptic, !Nubian, and !Assyrian Christians dominate the government and religious and linguistic minorities are marginalized on a national level.
  
• Any big prejudices in your nation: Not at the moment, this will change as I develop my international relations.
  
• View on immigration into country: Immigration is welcomed, though immigrants outside of Coius, Badawiya, and Bahia are rare.
  
• Women's Rights: Women are guaranteed equal rights to men and are well-represented in education and the workforce, though they still face patriarchal attitudes common in many Middle Eastern societies.
  
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Alcohol, tobacco, and mild stimulants are legal.

National information
Official Name: Valerian Sotirian Realm
Shortened Name: Valeria
Requested Location: my claim =)
Requested Population: 70 million
Culture: Mid-1800s to pre-1945 American culture/identity is the primary inspiration with other elements of Europe thrown into the development as I see fit

• Ethnicity: Valerian (which I'd prefer to be a Nordic ethnicity if possible), and ethnicities of whoever borders me I suppose, immigrants from foreign lands who want to get down and boogy with a !christian theocratic republic
• Religion: Amendism and Solarian Catholicism are the two dominant religions in the nation. Minority religions are mainly Epismialist, Paganism, and Irfanism.
• Languages: Valerian is the official language and the rest can suck it

Government Type: Single-party presidential republic
Head of State: President Jorg Ostman
Head of Government: Prime Minister Jarn Hansen
Requested GDP Per Capita: $8,530
National Overview:Valeria is a landlocked nation located in the central area of Euclea. It has a population of 71 million, who are ruled by the authoritarian regime of the Valaerian Sotirian Front.

What began as a simple, absolute monarchy evolved into a bureaucratic mass of a kingdom. However, the !enlightenment began and reforms took place to reduce the powers of the King and place them in an elected legislature. A noble idea, but it was flawed from the beginning as votes were based on wealth, property, and social status. This meant that the monarchy effectively remained as the absolute leader of the kingdom.

In comes the age of industrialization and the side effects of it. The growing working class has had enough of the monarchy and the upper classes. !Marxism and radical liberalism become popular ideologies among the lower classes and they begin to organize and protest the government. The government responds in kind and shoots on a group of protesters which launches into a revolutionary civil war. After three years of fighting, the old monarchist government is toppled and a republic takes its place. It expands suffrage to all working-classes (men only still, this is the 1800s after all) expands upon civil liberties and work protections neglected by the monarchist regime. Some general filler stuff here up until the Great War where I Valeria sided against Gaullica, although in what capacity way remains to be determined.

Fast-tracking to the 1970s saw social instability that led to a broad alliance of left-wing radicals and socialists to seize power for a very, very brief period of time. Their hold on power was tenuous and the fragile alliance collapsed as internal factions competed for power. One of the few changes they managed to agree on was the implementation of state atheism. While not draconian in nature, several elements within the socialist government took draconian measures to enforce the new state atheist policy, essentially using it as an opportunity to be ruthless to Sotirians. This led to backlash and the formation of the National Legion of Christ, a paramilitary group that consisted of a vast alliance of Sotirian adherents, to combat the more savage elements of the regime. The culmination of these battles saw the overthrow of the socialist government after an embarrassingly short period of rule and the creation of the Valerian Sotirian Realm. The National Legion of Christ was reorganized under the Valaerian Sotirian Front (VSF) and set about to enact reversals of policies of the previous Republican governments. Sotirianism was made the official state religion and social policies implemented to form a more reactionary, conservative society. The leader of the VSF, Jorg Ostman, has led the regime since its inception and has managed to keep the various factions relatively united behind him.

Today Valeria is entering a new age. The older generation that knew life before the regime is dying off and the younger generation bears the torch of Christ. Factions within the regime recognize Jarn Hansen's ailing health and seek to capitalize on it after his resignation or death.

Military Overview: The Valerian Armed Forces consists of the Valerian Army, Valerian Air Force, Valerian Navy, and Valerian Home Guard. Currently the military is small and primarily focused on border guarding than anything else. It's equipment is Western European/American based with a doctrine that is to be determined. Presently the Armed Forces number no more than 200,000 in both active and reserves.

Social views:

• General population's view on LGBT+ rights/LGBT+ people: Homosexuality is criminalized and marriage defined between a man and a woman. All other forms of LGBT rights are non-existent.
• General population's view on religions other than the primary one: The state has decreed Sotirianity as the official religion of Valeria. Other religions are not actively persecuted by the state but do face discrimination from local governments and social pressures.
• General population's view on atheism: Generally disdainful. State propaganda has been painting atheism in a negative light since the socialist regime's failed state atheist practice.
• General population's view on abortion: Abortion is outlawed in all forms. However, there still exists the alleyway abortions and a problem of rising parentless infants being abandoned.
• View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): There are groups within the Front that harbor supremacist views and elements of society also believe this, but presently there is not widespread belief of superiority among Valeria.
• Any big prejudices in your nation: The typical anti-socialism/communism, anti-atheism, and anti-liberalism expected of a regime of this nature.
• View on immigration into country: Immigration is tightly controlled since the regime gained power and generally only reserved for those with specialized skillsets as needed.
• Women's Rights: Women gained the right to vote in the 1930s and their ability to enter the workforce and politics expanded in the 1960s. With the rise of the Ostman regime, they have been expected to return to more traditional roles, but it is presently not enforced in laws other than the restrictions on abortions. This is all subject to change if certain not-yet-named factions gain power after Ostman's reign.
• Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Alcohol and tobacco are permitted for use, but highly regulated, taxed, and restricted. All other drugs are prohibited and carry harsh penalties if caught in possession, use, or distribution.

Requested GDP Per Capita: U$D 65,627 (actual Singaporean GDP Per Capita)
National Overview:

THE COMMONWEALTH OF BRUMAH is a sovereign country located in Coius. Its capital, Mandalay, is the seat of the government and an important financial centre for the nation and the continent. The Commonwealth consists of a continental region (where the majority of the total 16,564,871 inhabitants live) and a group of several islands spread across Banfura Sea. Together with a recent economic development and a larger inclination towards services sectors, Brumah has experienced higher rates of urbanisation with a preponderance of urban zones across its territory.

Most of the Brumhese history is connected with its geographical conditions as an important connection for merchants. While the several islands of the nation have been known for centuries by Euclean and Coianan trade companies for its special conditions for the plantation of spices and tea, the continental areas have been vastly rich in precious metals; hierarchised societies are known to exist in the territory of what is today Brumah since at least the 7th century when the first naval kingdoms surged across the archipelagos. Rulers, highly influenced by its surrounding environment, started to rapidly absorb traditions and religious beliefs and it is believed that for most of this time, kingdoms across Brumah lived strong transformations as Buddhism and Hinduism settled its roots in the populations. The decline of most of these kingdoms happened between the tenth and thirteenth centuries, leaving behind several socially developed cities-states and trading ports. An advantage took by the [], a kingdom of Buddhists traditions that survived until Euclean colonisation.

Euclean colonisation was brought by the hand of several colonial powers that maintained their rule in several ports along the Brumhese coasts, however, it was [] that rapidly took control of the whole territory, setting a colonialist rule that lasted 347 years until Brumah declared its independence and this was ratified by [] a couple of years later, in 1950. It was during the first Euclean expeditions that Brumhese people were introduced to Christianity, a religion that still plays an important role in the society as the third-largest faith in the Commonwealth.

Although in previous times the relations of the Commonwealth with its previous colonialist power rosed tension, today Brumah maintains an extraordinary relation with [], as the country shares monarch which is represented by a Governor-General. The country has a liberal democratic political system widely recognised in the region for its stability. After several economic reforms that pushed the liberalisation of Brumah's economy, the country has lived an era of almost non-stop growth that combined with extensive political consensus over welfare has brought the nation to have one of the highest Human Development Indexes in the region; the country currently ranks high in women participation, economic freedom, education and quality of life. The nation enjoys good relations with almost all nations in Kylaris and representation in several intergovernmental organisations. The foreign relations of Brumah have always surrounded non-aggression, economic liberalisation and an important concern over environmental and climatical issues.

Military Overview:

As said above, the Commonwealth has maintained a neutral and pacifist position during conflicts, often acting actively seeking dialogue. However, its extense maritime condition has made Brumah maintain large and capable Armed Forces.
