Nation Application

Full Nation Name: Socialist Principality of New Zealand

Short Nation Name: SPNZ

National Symbols:
National Flag
North Island Flag
South Island Flag

Capital: Wellington

Territory: New Zealand

Form of Government: Communist Democratic-Republic
(Briefly how one part of it works, The masses elect a group of representatives (The Council) numbering up to 10 people, the elected officials then, after a maximum of 7 days of debate, elect a Council Chair. The masses can overturn this ruling with a 51% majority ruling (i.e. 51% of pop must go and vote to get it changed). When writing a bill/ law the Council will present it to the rest of the Council who will vote on it, the document must be approved by 3/4 of the Council. It then makes its way to the Chair of the Council who can either pass the document or reject it, passing it passes it on into effect while rejecting it passes it back to the Council. Both rejection and passation can be overturn the Council or Council Chair decision with a 51% majority vote (Same as with Chair of Council elections) These mass votes can take place for documents at any time within a 2 month time period from, while mass votes to change the Council Chair must happen within 7 days of election by the Council.)

Head of State: Council Chair Kate Q. Woolcott

Head of Government: Council Chair Kate Q. Woolcott

Population: 1,791,900

Military Description: 89,595 Brave souls make up the active Military of the SPNZ and another 53,757 in the nations reserves. Knowing that their military is minute compared to the ones of other countries. Because of this fact they train their military primarily in Guerrilla warfare, but that doesn't mean that they are unwilling to dig their heels into the dirt and fight. The stubborn, and sickeningly British New Zealanders have a knack for setting up, defending, and operating artillery. As for rifles, their military has acquired Type 38 rifles, and its carbine variant for their non-front line infantry/ its cavalry Along with the Winchester Model 1886. As for shotguns employed by their military, the Winchester Model 1912 is the one currently in use. The Hotchkiss M1909 Benét–Mercié is the MG that has been acquired by the government for this task. The standard issue sidearm for soldiers was the British Bull Dog revolver. Other infantry weapons used included the Kukri and the Jam tin grenade (A less improvised looking version). And as for their artillery, they used 4-inch mortars to a minor extent but used the QF 18-pounder Gun to a much, much larger one. (2 mortars for every 10 QF 18-pounders).

Economic Description: The economy is actually quite well off. There exist two kinds of currency in the SPNZ Tickets and Dosh. Tickets are given to everyone who works, Tickets are traded for food, power, water, and rent respectively. Dosh can be used in place of Tickets though. Dosh is a paper currency not much unlike the British Pound, except with different imagery on the bills. It is given in smaller amounts than Tickets (Annual salary for Middle class persons is about Ɖ 15, 000) Dosh is used for leisure and for non essentials (i.e. a radio). This system encourages work, the amount of both currencies received are relative to time worked and working diligence. Those who work receive rent, water, and power tickets at the end of the month regardless. Dosh is awarded at the end of the month as well, this is a set amount each month (Varies and depends on department manager). This system may be rather chaotic for the government, but it keeps workers housed, happy, and productive.

Ideology: The masses are the rulers and those in power are only powerful because of their people, All men/ woman are equal in worth and are free, Technological advancement is the path to our future and should be strived for by any means, and Those who work and contribute to their country should prosper.

Allegiance: None yet, is very friendly towards other socialist countries and is cautious of Britain and its empire.

Goals: Spread political ideals, buddy up with larger nations, provoke no one.

Point of Divergence: 1854

History:
-The Right Honourable Sir George Grey was made Governor of New Zealand for a second term in 1854 by British Parliament.
-In the 1870s Sir George Grey began to feel uneasy about the state of the monarchy, and saw the act of martial law as an insult to her subjects freedoms.
-In 1875 Sir George Grey met with local leaders in New Zealand and the discussed seceding from the crumbling British empire.
-Two days later Sir George Grey, said local leaders, and a gaggle of local lawyers began the writing of "The Declaration of Self Sovereignty" in secret.
-1880 "The Declaration of Self Sovereignty" was complete and enacted by said leaders who were proclaimed the first Council and Sir George Grey its Chair. And the FIrst New Zealand Fighting Force is marshaled and hastily trained.
-In late 1881 "The Socialist Argument and The Code of Proper Equality" pass through the Council and are enacted.
-1883 The tuatara is named the country's national animal.
-1887 New Zealand Defense force marshaled for possible assault by British forces.
-Late 1898 Kate Q. Woolcott is elected Council Chair.
-Late 1898 The Right Honorable Sir George Grey dies as Council Chair, two hours before he is supposed to retire.
-1900 A rebel group defies on the northern tip of the north island, this eventually launches the SPNZ into a bloody civil war.
-1912 The rebel group known as the Sons of Freedom was stamped out completely.
-1914 Kate Q. Woolcott is now 38 years old and is still in favor with the people of New Zealand but a dark cloud is passing over the world and she can feel it, the tensions rising in Europe. And she is unsure if her home will be able to weather the storm when it hits.

Sorry for being so busy recently, I'm almost finished with the app and will post it tomorrow.

[Insaeldor]

Been noticing a lot of automatic weaponry talk that's been going around. My only issue is that this would give a horrendously historical and story telling disadvantage to a nations ability if they intend on doing such a thing. I'd at least suggest that the Soviet a union player give themselves some sort of handicap in order to even out the playing field if they intend of issuing an automatic infantry rifle.

[Tracian Empire]

Well, RIP Swabia

[Alsheb]

Executions huh?

Now you have my curiousity. What for exactly?

Crimes against humanity. Illegally executing Ceausescu without a real trial. Treason against the country.

Our former president, Ion Illiescu.

Intriguing. You definitely got my interest now

[Alsheb]

Balkan first post and actions regarding war in Romania coming up later tonight. Tonight in the GMT+7 timezone, that is.

[Tracian Empire]

Crimes against humanity. Illegally executing Ceausescu without a real trial. Treason against the country.

Our former president, Ion Illiescu.

Intriguing. You definitely got my interest now

I want to get rid of all of the commie politicians which escaped punishment and infiltrated the government after the revolution.

Iliescu is of course, a special case. He's the one guilty for most of our country's current problems, he's guilty of crimes against humanity in the Mineriads he orchestrated, and he was the man of the Russians all this time.

That's why I think that he deserves an execution in the exact same style he executed Ceausescu.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Well, RIP Swabia

*looks at IC*
I don`t see myself any more RIP than a few hours ago.

[Tracian Empire]

Well, RIP Swabia

*looks at IC*
I don`t see myself any more RIP than a few hours ago.

I only read the IC a few hours ago.

But hey, I wanted to have an alliance with you, before you turned against old Austria.

Now I might want to take a slice of the pie

[Zostra]

Just noticed that there's a little bit of Dobruja not taken by either side.

Just noticed that there's a little bit of Dobruja not taken by either side.

I left it so that Bulgaria can take it. My main objectives were the Danube Delta and the Constanta port after all.

About to post on my attempt on a military parade.

You'll get no opposition from me on the punishment of so-called communists who joined the Romanian post-1989 government. They are but traitors and quislings in my opinion.

Much obliged. I'll seize it straight away in the first IC post of the Balkan Socialist Federation.

Romania's main problem, compared to other former Eastern bloc countries, is that we never actually punished or gotten rid of our commies. Our Revolution was merely a coup d'etat made by the second rank communists who opposed Ceauescu, with foreign help.

For Romania's survival, those parasites have to be cleansed.

Im gonna invade Iran with Byz for its resources when the war starts

Fite me bruv
In actuality we probably won't get involved until we see which way the thing ends up going. A bit cowardly, but that's geopolitics for you.

[RNT]

Is it to late to make a country in the remaining North Africa?
