Poster: 7a2id
Name: Demonym, Shorthand, Full name, Poetic Name (Native: Demonym, Shorthand, Full name, Poetic name)
Amians, SRA, Socialist Republic of Amia, The Land of The Roaring River (Òmì, MA, Maro Amì, An Bog Ipèd)
Symbols: Coat of Arms (warning: very bad) Animal : Siberian Ibex
Territory: Between the Aldan and Maya rivers in East Russia.

Government Structure: The government is a tripartisan social democratic republic, with a directly voted president and elected bicameral house. A system of checks and balances keep the congress from being more powerfull than the presidents and their houses.
Ideology/Policy: The government is communalist, with small cities having more power than the federal government,
Leaders: Legislative branch : Elected both proportionally and directly by the districts. The Chamber of Deputies (direct) and Hall of Representatives (proportional) both of an upper house, which elects the primier, the leader of the legislative branch.
Executive branch : Ran by one or multiple presidents, husband and wife or husband and husband or wife and wife (homosexual couples have been elected by the country before, and even in a few cases polyamorous relationships), and their individual houses.
Foreign Relations: Even inside relations are hard to maintain, with communal districts being seperated so far apart, maintaining foreign relations isn't something the government even works towards, with the surrounding countries being either apathetic or passive about the country.
Capital: The two capitals, Pè and Dì, lie along the seperate rivers, and are kept apart such that the presidents and their family and houses have no interaction with the congress aside from the accasional settling of a split decision

Demographics: The people, around a million strong, with a slightly red skin, are mostly native to the river valley, rich people are more common to live in urban centers, along with people who identify as non-mainstream, because the cities are known to be more liberal and progressive with their opinions.
Ethnicity: The ethnicity of the Amì people is barely spread out, which are mainly descendents of a spread out tribe in rl Mongolia.
Language: The Amì language is the main spoken and written language, with some languages required to be learnt in public schooling. The language is mainly written in the latin script, but a native logographic script exists.
Religion: The state is meant to be objective on matters of religion, being completely secular, and the religion of the people is mainly split between shamanism and animism.

Military Organization: The generals appointed by the presidents lead the military, with most soldiers being permenantly on reserve, and some used to defend political centers and town halls. Each district in the SRA has their own military rules, with some requiring citizens to remain in reserves for future drafting.
Army: The Army mainly exists of on-the-ground armed forces and weapons are still mainly primitive.
Navy: The Navy is completely privatized, with pirates protecting the land by rivers, and sailors are mainly merchants trained to defend themselves.
Air Force: The Air Force consists of only one jet used to get important people out of the land during a war time.
Space Fleet: There exists no fleet of extreterestrial forces, but a research team does exist, researching flight.

Economy: The districts are the main taxers of the people, using money to pay for health care and welfare for the poor.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure mainly consists of large city avenues made of a water-soaking asphalt and long stretches of gravel road in the country-side, which gets blown over by wind frequently.
Trade: Trade is mainly inside the country, with tarrifs placed on imports, and the main exports are of fish and the tusks of the ibex.
Currency: The state is run mainly on barter.
History: The government mainly got its power by a social, fiscal and economic uprising many years ago, universally, by the leading party at the time. They made a constitution which put in place civil rights, which don't allow discrimination on any basis, and communal districts.
Miscellaneous: N/A

Whoops, forgot to do a thing, so I'm back for a tick:

Finland SSR is now a manager. Prepare for despotism, tyranny, outrageous taxes, etc. His job includes providing feedback for apps, reiterating or explaining regulations or other stuff I've said, directing people to the places or people they need to go, coordinating people in other roles if they're lost, and other stuff of that general nature. Think of him as a 2/3 sized co-op (a vice director is 4/3 sized co-op, op is 6/3 sized co-op or 2 whole co-ops).

@7a2id, wrong era.

@Idaho, what I mean is that there shouldn't be social entities that big or complex; armies, governments, structures and so forth need to be shrunk or removed.

Europe of the day was fragmented, indeed, but in practise, only the Great Powers of the day mattered; and, even then, I would say that I expect a lot more than 5 powers, given there's 6 accepted and more on the way as reserved, and I do believe at least some of those who have currently applied will choose to go down to several-states-one-nation or NPC cloud road.

Again, Columbus was a nutjob. He was wrong about being able to reach Asia easily through the west, or he pretended he didn't know better (perhaps to make funding him more realistic; "voyage to India" sounds better than "voyage that will hopefully discover useful stuff"). Either way, especially considering grants made to him for revenue from newly discovered lands (does that sound like trade or colonisation?), his journey was chance, IMO. As soon as the ship technology becomes available, which would be much earlier I think, then a monarch who doesn't trust his court enough can provide funding for an off-the-side journey to whatever is westwards. In any case, the Vikings' descendants might well be making a return to Greenland; without a Columbus, IMO, we would have just seen Scandinavian-led colonisation from the north, the gradual establishment of a mid-Atlantic route, and a general top-down colonisation of the Americas. Which, incidentally, might lead to the Aztecs and Incas having more time to prepare, and thus surviving, if not indefinitely at least for longer than IRL.

See, newbie isn't a temporal state, it's a mindset; if you really want, it's possible to stay one forever :P

Going through apps now. IC est veniens.

Fun fact: I killed Columbus once.

I was a worldmod in /r/empirepowers, and it was around 1480. Genoa had gotten a permission from the Pope to establish hegemony in the heathenous India and SE Asia, and after taking over Goa, they decided to demand stuff from the Kingdom of Kotte (Ceylon). So they send a huge carrack to Colombo and place the young Columbus as a crew member there (which I'm not aware of). I resolve it with a roll, the ship hits reefs and the entire crew perishes.

I'm later told that I just killed Columbus, and I'm just like "Cabot master race".

Those of you who haven't (i.e. dirty barbarian heathen heretics who didn't read the whole OP), read regulations 3, 4, 5, and perhaps 7 and 8 (more important later on). It's very important. Have a free link.

Alright, now, goodnight.

South China is fairly rubbish at this point in time, and frankly, is conquer-bait for the better organised northerners. I won't stop you though. Though, you could consider taking the rest of urban northern China, roughly corresponding to the parts of Zhou Reatra hasn't taken, and that would be on par.
