Lilguay's economy primarily operates along non-capitalist lines, combining state planning in heavy industries with worker-owned enterprises operating within a market system. However, it also maintains 'special capitalism zones' in three port cities where more traditional privately owned enterprises are allowed to operate, albeit with some stipulations regarding union involvement.

Rich and decent history

It's an alternate history CSA, without the slavery.

The Junta allows for same-sex marriages, provided they don't interfere with its activities. They may be a brutal, repressive regime, but it's nice to know that at least they're not homophobic.

They have a long and storied history among their neighbors, most notably Orsean which seems to have played a major part in it's history.

The Roman empire has come back, and it may be a tad smaller but still just as strong
Nice

It is an island nation off the coast of western Europe.

That they are an island nation between the North Atlantic and Artic, with a Norse and Scandanavian culture and still practice both monarchy and feudalism.

In their demographics, they count Latin Americans as one unified group that is distinctly not white nor multiracial, which is honestly weird for any kind of demographic policy that isn't some variation of "one drop policy". With that in mind, 63% of Lilguay is Mestizo (do we count German-English multiethnics as Mestizo? No?) while 10% are white, 9% are Black, 6% hail from Asia or the Pacific Islands (how do you group all of them together), 6% are as said above Latin American and the final 6% are indigenous. One other thing, unlike the ethnic composition which (other than the Latin-American thing) sounds very much like your average Latin American country, religious-wise Lilguay is weird because while there's clearly some evidence of colonialism, the majority religion is Amorprana and every Abrahamic faith is just bumped together as one very small minority.

I appreciate the feedback, I am going to need to modify some of the categories, add a few more categories, and change some of the percentages. I also really need to get started on the history, which will explain why there was minimal colonialism and how even despite that Amorprana remained the dominant religion in Lilguay (though maybe 77% is too high).

Reza Pahlavi didn’t become a monarch like in real life history but became the first president of Iran. The Islamic Revolution seems either failed or doesn’t exist.

The Aquaria is the term for the entire region which its namesake country inhabits. It is derived from the name of the goddess "Aqua".

The hintiwan commonwealth has around 20-30 provinces. With it's capital being a proveince

For a period of some three years, they were ruled by a group known as the Hugsburgs, who I can only guess are like the Habsburgs, but more inclined towards physical displays of affection…

Experina is the result of two nations uniting, then falling into civil strife, and then a dictatorship taking place promising freedom (?). That's a hell of a ride

AN: Caleshans are highly efficient peoples. The State will take advantage of just about anything to exert control over the people it rules, including social media. This efficiency is also translated to the daily life of the average Caleshan, who aim to optimize every action they do in every day both as a way to improve themselves and compete with other Caleshans. This also means they highly repress themselves, with angry Caleshans opting to become isolated and reserved instead of being, well... angry.

Between 990 and 1000 AD (who's the Domini in question?) the Laguairian Archipelago went through a period of steep depression and as the exchange between natives and foreign traders resulted in the death of more 87.1% of its total population, which probably paved the way for Hoterallian colonization a short period afterward.

Brazil was a literal ideological cesspit during the cold war with Integralists, Monarchist, Japanese nationalists and somehow coalitions formed between the conservatives and liberals, ending in a military coup in 1964, which started a civil war because nobody liked the military which ended when democracy was reestablished in 1979.

The Siege of Lamenting lasted 55 days and was one of the most important battles of WW2 in Imperial Japan's Perikuresu campaign. It ended in a Perikuresu defeat and resulted in an orgy of atrocity being committed by the IJA against the Apalanaluan civilian population.

Apanalua has an incredible level of geographic diversity. While it’s primarily made up of tropical rainforest, each state in the union has its own specific conditions that create different biomes within them. From the fertile, forested rivers of Northern and Southern Zhengguo to the Kaulike mountain ranges, the level of biological diversity within this nation is astounding.

Hintuwan is technically ruled by a monarchy, but for all intents and purposes, is a republic. The 1955 Restoration of Titles Act reinstated this monarchy soon after the Commonwealth had been formed, showing the world that Hintuwan was, once again, a united nation.

They say that their current year is 1582, though I do not know what system of reckoning is being used. I see very little real-world references, so I can only presume that year 0 correlates to some event that has not been detailed. I hesitate to assume A.D., as I don’t see Christian references anywhere so far.

Thanks for reminding me to write that calendar factbook, but uh, to make a very long story short; year 0 is when this world’s equivalent of the Sea People (noted for their lost starring role in the Bronze Age Collapse), called the Skyface Culture, wiped every other sedentary civilization off the map. It has been 1,582 years since then. Have fun with this useless packet of info!
