He is usually seen wearing a suit and tie, with a fedora and sunglasses. He has green eyes, a scar over his left eye, effectively blinding him, some maroon hair and goatee with black and gold highlights. At times he has gold eyes and maroon skin.

The Ea Nasir Copper Foundry (ENCF) is a sham business that sells off 70% pure copper at ludicrously high prices of about 340 NSD per pound, it is notable for it's purpose as a money laundering scheme, and was used in 2015 to launder over 1.3 trillion worth of NSD after a gigantic heist.


I do sometimes wonder how the shade of Ea Nasir feels, knowing that he enjoys the rare privilege of his name echoing down the ages, but only famous for that one unfortunate thing. :P

In fact, you've reminded me of a two-sentence horror story I saw once...

"The damage to the time machine wasn't too bad - it looked like I'd be able get back home after all. I just needed to find somebody in Ancient Sumer who could sell me some high quality copper wire."

A common signature dish is Mnizut, often called Sagrean Stew by foreigners. Meaning "anything soup", the dish is varied depending on region, city, or even household, but the base ingredients include a meat (usually beef or pork), local vegetables, and sagrean peppers. The soup is often eaten when sick, as the peppers are believed to help against disease. - Sounds delicious

Despite its tourism industry, Portzania is one of the poorest countries in Europe, with corruption, political instability, poor infrastructure, lack of health care and lack of education cited as the main causes. Unemployment is high and many Portzanians seek to emigrate. Trade declined dramatically after the 2019 outbreak of cholera, and the tourist economy suffers because of this.

A nation on NS currently struggling with actual national issues besides things like war or other ideological pursuits? Like, not having the best economy or being attractive as a nation? Having realistic expectations for a nation that has undergone colonialism at the hands of the Turkish and British? And even if they're not third-world levels of bad, they would probably be dependent on loans or trade agreements similar to poorer EU nations like Greece or Ireland?
