[Apalachea]

NATION APPLICATION

Shortform name: Apalachea
Real life culture influence: Muskogee Creek/Seminoles
Real life culture of former colonizer: Korean
Population: 9,513,227
GDP (PPP) per capita: $10,536
GDP (nominal) per capita: $3,252
Military manpower (active/reserve): 20,000/60,000
Language(s): Korean/Mikasuki
Nation description: Apalachea is a nation that recently (within the last century) broke away via violent revolution from its colonizer after centuries of colonial rule. The fledgling nation is unstable as it finds its footing, develops its economy from a colonial one to a self-sufficient one, and attempts to establish diplomatic relationships of its own. The economy is largely agrarian, and citrus and cotton are major exports, but the nation is in the process of industrialization. The population of Apalachea still remembers the revolution and is battered and war-weary; a large proportion of the adult male population remains part of the army, and the state is very wary of internal threats to its legitimacy. Apalachean culture has heavily syncretized with Korean culture as a result of its long colonial rule. The Republic is attempting to emphasize indigenous Apalachean culture and remove Korean influence where possible, but the mark is indelible—most of the population itself has Korean blood in its veins, to say nothing of the language, cuisine, writing, arts, et cetera. The battle to forge a powerful national identity and functional economy will be an uphill one for the people of Apalachea.

Kiri was home to several different Indo-European peoples and was colonized by Nukigurun during the 18th century.

The Culu people originally inhabited eastern Nukigurun, and there are still Culu who live in the area. During the 16th century, they were placed into Nukigurun's banner system and their society was completely militarized, as every male was made a soldier. By the time that most were transferred to West Yoju to guard the borders of the empire, they were speaking Nuki. Nukigurun also settled smaller groups of other peoples there, but they were assimilated into the Culu group. These people were settled along the Kiri river, and was administered as part of Barthia.

When Barthia gained independence, the Culu declared independence as the Republic of Kiri, easily defeating the Barthian military in combat and seizing the Baisa highlands, which long remained a contentious issue in the region. Despite being landlocked, Kiri is the wealthiest nation on a per-capita basis in West Yoju.
