National Stability

[Ostronopolis]

How would you describe your nation's stability? Is it prone to war, conflict, revolution etc, is it peaceful, have there been any revolutions.....etc.?

We had a few civil revolts. One was consiedered a coup and was immediately crushed. The other was the people protesting the elections; saying that their "rigged" and with good reason (parliament used to control 30% of the vote). However, since parliament passed the bill that proposed free and fair elctions it seems that our country's crisis is resolved.

[Ken york]

The U.S.E is stable in everything except our economy which is recovering from a reccession.

[Conserative Morality]

Revolutions are rare. Civil wars... Less so.

[Gummi Glen and Ursalia]

We've had problems with organised crime in the past, but this has been brought under control. Today, even ordinary crime is extremely rare, while attempts at revolution, coups etc. are completely unknown.

[The holy Schnitzel]

Since the democracy-demanding protests last January the situation in the only "stability issue" the government has dealt with was crime.
Maybe because some of the protest leaders *disappeared* less than 24 hours after protests began.

[Fatatatutti]

The last real conflict in Fatatatutti was almost two hundred years ago when white traders tried to influence the king into doing things their way. The king was eaten by disgruntled subjects and the white traders lost interest in power for some reason. Since then, Fatatatutti has been very stable - no revolutions, no civil wars. But in case of trouble, the barbecue is ready.

[Rejistania]

Rejistania is like these dolls which you can push over but they stand up again. There was one Karelan coup, one Imdilan/Takilan coup, a province (Sumumusumu aka Communist Rejistania) seceeding and after a huge economic effup returning to the mainland, political instability* to the point of instating minimal term limit for the head of state, huge amounts of disvoting** to the point of destabilizing the government (even more than usual), one invasion, a split up into lots of tiny nations, another invasion (the Second Grand Blamage) and now a more of less stable federated government. Any questions?

* There are quite a number of Rejistanis who consider the kalesic system which led to it good.
**not marking any candidate on the ballot sheet

[Fisenesia]

Fisenesia is very stable and peaceful. There was one war, but we won fairly quickly....

[Lanarkhaime]

Ours is a fairly peaceful, stable nation, only its status is disputed, with some individuals stating it's a microstate (like Liechtenstein), others insisting it's a nation in its own right
(e.g. Denmark, Norway).

The status is the only bit that's really unstable.

However, despite our nation's small stature, the people are either descended from:

• English
• Scottish
• Finnish
• Danish
• Indigenous Australian
• Mexican-American

so, racially, we are quite varied, but there is no "Lanarkhaimian" shared culture as such.

Instability is geographical, not political.

[Cotenshire]

Revolts are frequent, but they rarely pose any threat to regional or super-regional governments due to the technological and organizational superiority of the Royal Armed Forces. It is government policy to employ disporportionate violence against insurgents and revolting factions so that examples are made out of them.

[South Lorenya]

Dragons are sensible, so the nation's been stable enough to last 60,000+ years. Occasionally some nut goes "Hey, they have no army! We can take their land!" and tries invading. They then find out that we don't NEED an army, as an uzi and an M1A1 are no match for a thick set of scales and fiery (or icy or holy or...) breath.

[Yannia]

Yannia is largely peaceful & stable, though occasionally there might be civil unrest, but that rarely lasts longer than a two months (the time required to organize a referendum).

[Maurepas]

We're pretty stable, noone really cares about the government apart from ceremonial stuff...

So, as a country, Id say we're pretty stable...however We're not exactly peaceful towards eachother,

[Allied Governments]

Vaar is a hotbed of long-existing anger over what had happened in the Unification Wars, Caldara is pretty much pacified since it wasn't completely destroyed.

Government wise, we are completely stable in every aspect.

[Goias]

Goias has been mostly stable ever since independence.

[San Guillermo]

The Kingdom, in the past as a Spanish possession, has been prone to the invasions of the British and Portuguese-controlled Brazil, especially during the early 19th century. Since independence, the only major change of power was when the monarchy was overthrown by a pro-Axis dictator during WWII, changing into a republic. It lasted for 45 years, until the May Revolution of 1985 when the monarchy was reinstated after the death of the dictator. Since then, we have greatly stabilized politically and economically.

Internationally, we were involved in the aforementioned WWII as a supplier and we became involved in the Spanish-American War after we found out the person who declared Cuba independent without any say of the Spanish was the King's first cousin, who established a monarchy there until Fidel Castro took over in 1959.

[Maraque]

The Kingdom has a strong, stable and excellent economy. Our GDP per capita is in excess of $48,000.

As for stability elsewhere; our country has never been involved in any major war, internal or external. We've never had any uprisings or civil strife. Throughout our 11,000 year existence, there was only one minor riot but that was many years ago.

[Emporer Pudu]

Everyone lives isolated and secure in seven-thousand compounds connected by subterranean rail. Outside the compounds, but within the outer wall garrisoned by the military, there are thousands or perhaps millions of armed revolutionaries. You know, they couldn't harm anyone... could they?

Really though, we periodically kill them off with slave-soldiers controlled by electric shocks.

[Chernobl]

The nation is very stable since the popular coup.

[Volzgrad]

The last real conflict in Fatatatutti was almost two hundred years ago when white traders tried to influence the king into doing things their way. The king was eaten by disgruntled subjects and the white traders lost interest in power for some reason. Since then, Fatatatutti has been very stable - no revolutions, no civil wars. But in case of trouble, the barbecue is ready.

OOC: Seriously, you have the most screwed up nation I have ever seen. Cannibalism and anarchy, combined into one unholy package? Makes my oppressively Fascistic and Orwellian nation seem heavenly in comparison. As a random side note, I find it amusing that I also insult my own nation, despite it being a reflection of my IRL political beliefs.

IC:

Volzgrad and the Empire as a whole is incredibly stable. This is largely in part by the harsh and dictatorial rule by the Imperial Military, which stamps out even the slightest hints of opposition. The concept of rebellion reviles Emperor Kavinkov II, and he has poured incredible amounts of funds into supporting and upgrading the Volzgradian Imperial Militia and Royal Commissariat. These two organizations act as the Reserve/National Police Force and Secret Police respectively in the Empire.

Another major factor in the Empire's stability is that children are taught from birth to love the Empire, Emperor, and Roman Catholic Church. Rebellion and questioning are seen as sins and are very taboo in Volzgradian society as a whole (not to mention such actions are incredibly dangerous, considering the incredible amounts of surveillance the Empire does on its citizens). Every Volzgradian citizen must serve at least two years in the Volzgradian Imperial Militia, Army, Navy, or Air Corps; and indoctrination is taken to even greater levels in the military.

[New Alberni]

In the New Alberni Republic, national stability is totally dependent upon the extremely pro-active and sensible government. The latest iteration of the government, the Democratic Socialist Green Administration, is led by the pragmatic and charismatic Louis Chet. Chet has served three straight four year terms, and it is coming close to the end of his final term. Before the Chet's presidency, the government and general tone was more liberal Democratic, but with the influence of the DSG, the federal government has significantly expanded, creating millions of jobs, and decreasing the existing angst in the country.
New Alberni was formed and established by a group of iconoclastic intellectuals in the early 1800's. With the roots of the country coming from the NW region of British Columbia, Canada, the nation was able to peacefully separate from Canada, without much haste. There have been no major political revolutions, as the focus of government has always been for the people. There have been a few cultural revolutions however, with the most significant being in the 60's and 70's, with "Counter-Culture." As with San Francisco in the mid 60's, thousands of denizens flocked to New Alberni's cultural capital, Buffalo Head, where the city still maintains an eccentric cultural balance, and granola life style.

Finally, historically the New Albernian government is staunchly democratic, leaning to the left, however, with the application of the past two decades politics, the country has transformed from an aimless, economic calamity, to a sophisticated, healthy, and open-minded socialist blueprint. The standard of the average Albernian, along the with averaged earned income, have increased by over 60% over the past 12 years. With the current trend, the future appears to be more of the same. You don't fix it if it ain't broke!

[Edvardus]

The Empire of Edvardus is relatively stable with no major civil unrest. The last revolution occurred nearly a century ago and was the one that established the current empire.

[Iansisle]

Iansisle has never been "stable" in the true sense of the word, but the intensity of the instability has varied greatly in different time periods. Before the unification, for example, when the Shield was a warzone between seven independent kingdoms, there was almost no stability beyond the most local of levels. Even after the King of Shadoran was proclaimed High King of the Shield, strife continued, albeit now in more refined forms such as political assassination and political maneuvering in the massive Combined Parliament. The largest problem during this period was the continuing nationalist agitation in the many non-Shieldian colonies, which was 'solved' by spinning out political control farther from the central government.

But the lack of central control left the country vulnerable to corporatist domination. Large monopolies with inordinate influence in the Combined Parliament sprang up. When the politicians tried to pass anti-trust legislation, the corporations took over. The so-called 'Corporate Yoke' marked the beginning of the decade-long Gull Flag Revolution. The corporations were nationalized, the Combined Parliament was abolished, and the rights of the king were severely limited. But, when a foreign invasion gave him the chance, the king slipped his guard and went to raise an army amongst the Foothillsmen. The constitution was amended to declare a republic and ban the royalist party from the National Assembly.

This army was severely defeated at the Wonwich Gap and the king was hauled back in chains to stand trial. A national referendum favored execution and the regicide was carried out in Gull Flag Square. But getting rid of the problems of the past could not prepare the new republic for the future -- the Director of War and the Director of Justice intensified their attempts to undermine the Premier and the Assembly, leading to a slow response to a developing economic crisis and one of the worst recessions in modern Iansislean history. At last, the most successful general of the revolution led a coup and forced the Assembly to write a new constitution giving most power to a single president -- and was himself then elected to that presidency on a platform of "Peace and Stability."

Which more or less brings us up to the present. Stability? He's doing better than the previous administration, though that isn't saying much. Peace? Not when there's an 'insidious threat' (read: helpless state with a conflicting ideology) on the border that needs to be crushed!

[Darclad]

My nations only stability problems have been the assassination of Rube Banner, former governor of the state of Bonrika, the assassination attempt on President Harvey Isuzaka, and minor protest over compulsory voting.
