[Nationalist Northumbria]

Short Name (e.g. "Germany"): Northumbria
Full Name (e.g. "The Federal Republic of Germany”): Northumbria
Requested population: 10 million
Major cultures/languages: Northumbrian

Please briefly (in one paragraph or less) describe your nation's concept: Northumbria only relatively recently gained its independence from an English-cultured nation, having undergone a cultural revival in the form of the 'Northumbrian Renaissance'. Although stereotypically a country of collieries and shipyards that has traditionally been hostile to socially progressive politics, the recent victory of the Northern Independence Party in the parliamentary elections points to broader trends in Northumbrian society...

Short Name (e.g. "Germany"): Erytheria
Full Name (e.g. "The Federal Republic of Germany”): Kingdom of Erytheria
Requested population: 12.3 Million
Major cultures/languages: Erytherian (Greek)

Please briefly (in one paragraph or less) describe your nation's concept: Erytheria is a stratocratic constitutional monarchy, with a bicameral legislature based on the Erytherian Archipelago made up primarily of Erytherians. Historically Erytheria has been a major center for commerce at the mouth of the Endothermic Sea as well as a seat of Naval Powers throughout history. During the classical period, Erytherian Colonies were established throughout the Endotheric Sea and up the Western Coast of Berea as far North as Sarrac. Following the conquest of Erytheria by Cambra Erytheria would grow to be a cornerstone of the empire. Following the dissolution of the Empire Erytheria would collapse into a number of vying Kingdoms with the eventual unifier and the strongest of the Erytherian states being the Kingdom of Symi. The Kingdom had a strong officer class which would grow into being the dominant political faction within the Kingdom and emerged as the dominant state eventually unifying them by the 1860s. Since then the military has actively been involved in the running of the state and the closeness of the two has resulted in a stratocratic state with several period of unrest in the 1890s and the 1920s resulting in the military enshrining itself in the Constitution reserving several seats in the legislature and other positions in government. In the modern era, Erytheria emerged as an important part of the Mageiros League and emerged as a leader of the bloc in Southern Berea, it also maintains a significant naval capability and the military of Erytheria maintains a strict hold on the government and society.

How will you contribute to the shared canon of Aurorum?

How do you think inactivity should be dealt with in Aurorum? Two week warning followed by a probationary period then an outright ban for multiple offenses
How do you think plagiarism should be dealt with in Aurorum? Banned barring a discussion with the offender
How did you hear about Aurorum? Heard about it through Posh and the recent occurrences
What aspect of Aurorum's canon interests you the most? The lack of a true ‘New World’ and the lack of a major presence such as the United States and the true multipolar aspect of Aurorum
What changes would you make to Aurorum's rules, if given the opportunity? None really

[Algarien]

Application done between Hifax and Slov, which will take cae of Constantia and Eblania respectively.

Short Name (e.g. "Germany"): Algaria
Full Name (e.g. "The Federal Republic of Germany”): Commonwealth of Algaria
Requested population: 15,859,994
Major cultures/languages: Hesurian and Cuthish, with the possibility of adding a common language that blends the two.

Please briefly (in one paragraph or less) describe your nation's concept: The oldest sovereign state in Alvinia, the Commonwealth of Algaria is a nation comprised of two constituent nations, Constantia and Eblania, which originate in the former Cuthish and Hesurian colonies that occupied its territory. The first colonial settlement, Port Alfred, was one of the first colonies in the Alvinian archipelago; originally founded by Christian separatists from Cuthland, it rapidly expanded and evolved into a formal colony, sparkling tensions with its Mascyllary neighbor to the north, and native Algonquian speaking tribes that were spread across the territory. Constantia and Eblania became a sole dominion of the Albian crown after the War of Cuthish Succession. Groups seeking independence became common at the start of the 19th century, emerging during 1815 against Aldian tax impositions. Algaria became the first sovereign state of Alvinia in 1818.

Its society has been shaped by both its colonial heritage and the subsequent migrations that followed to its independence and industrialisation. Tensions between the two Algarian nations exist, although there have been some cases in which the unity of the commonwealth has been strained, Algaria remains a unified and successful nation.

Requested map claim (Imgur, please include the location of your nation's capital): Exact location has been made known to mods.

How would you reduce the strength of your nation, if asked to do so? As negotiated the GDP per capita of Algaria will be decreased to fit its immediate neighbours. If necessary the reduction of any aspects of Algaria is open for discussion to maintain cohesion within the region.
How will you cooperate with others in Aurorum? We shall seek to cooperate through active RP through news posts and international coordination as well as the building of relations and shared history.
How will you contribute to the shared canon of Aurorum? We seek to help develop Alvinia (one of the less written about areas in the region) as a continent and build upon its history and modern structure as well as establish Algaria in the modern intricacies of the international scene in Aurorum.
How do you think inactivity should be dealt with in Aurorum? Insctivity should be countered with a collective regional effort to restore interest and a drive to add new members to create new ideas and areas of interest.
How do you think plagiarism should be dealt with in Aurorum? Plagiarism should not be accepted and those who plagiarise should be given a warning and encouraged to change their approach to worldbuilding.
How did you hear about Aurorum? Both of us are already members of the region
What aspect of Aurorum's canon interests you the most? The international stage and history
What changes would you make to Aurorum's rules, if given the opportunity?

Requested population: 15,257,931
