NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: Federation of Breyburg

National goals: To maintain the sovereignty and advocate for the independence and protection of the peoples of Indianum.

Nation's Leader: King - Gustaf Enrikkson II, Prime Minister - Simeoni Lehtola

National Government: The Federation of Breyburg has 4 branches; from descending power, the Riksdag (a unitary legislature, headed by a majority speaker), the Ministry (the executive branch, the Prime Minister heads this branch, runs the military), the Judiciary (takes and delegates legal cases across the nation), the Royal Family (has a Treasury, may fund projects across the nation, primarily takes a charity role, has partial control over the military).

National history:

Founded by ancient Viking tribes that hailed from the region in which Wargloria stands today, a tribe, the Breys, went on to colonize the north of modern day Breyburg. To the south of the Breys' territory, the Sudermenn Tribe, settled the southern coast of modern Breyburg. To their north, another Viking tribe settled the cold, forested lands, the Suoma, began attacking Brey hunting and exploration expeditions to the north. Eventually word of the Suoma insolence reached the Brey Chief, who decided to conduct a conquest of Suoma territory in retaliation. Suoma territory was swiftly annexed and placed under Brey rule. In 1789, Suoma territory was granted semi-autonomous authority, after Suoma delegates succesfully lobbied to King Filip Ekdahl, who was famously sympathetic to the Suoma cause and people. The Suoma Domain may conduct their own internal affairs, but are subject to the Federation's rule at any time and may not conduct their own international affairs.

Initially, the Breys and the Sudermenn were indifferent to each other, only coming in contact with each other on fishing expeditions and rarely crossing paths on expeditions to the west. Eventually, in the 1200s, Brey and Sudermenn territory officially met. Short and swift border clashes happened sporadically for 1-3 decades. The Breys monarch, Vilgot Ekman, and the Sudermenn Queen, Vilda Aarflot, met in Kalmaa, on the Brey side of the Brey-Suder border. They agreed to enter an alliance, titled the Kalmaa Treaty of 1237. This treaty stated that the Sudermenn and Brey were to enter a non-aggression agreement, and that the Brey and Sudermenn were to enter Mutual Defense Treaty. This, in turn, created cultural and political bridges connected the Brey and Suder people.

After threat from invasion by Rusk raiders, the Brey Queen, Elsi Enrikkson and the Sudermenn King, Lasse Bondevik, met in Kalmaa just as their predecessors did in 1237. This resulted in the Kalmaa Confederation of 1668, in which the Brey and Suder people agreed to elect a council of policy makers. This would in turn unite the two tribes under one banner. The two royal lines would not unite yet, and would remain independent, in charge of their respective regions of the Kalmaa Confederation, concerned with local and regional matters.

The Suder Kalmaa Monarch, Queen Edel Veirod, apparently sent by Odenn himself, in 1692, launched a massive military campaign to capture and annex much of the modern Western Lands. This movement was later dubbed by Breyburgians as the Great Subjugation. This period of history is commonly thought of as the darkest moment in Breyburgian history (so far) as many soldiers died of thirst, exhaustion, hypothermia, starvation and various other diseases including infectious types. Not only did so much of the military sent to capture the Western Lands during the Great Subjugation fall ill and die, but they also committed great atrocities to native peoples, typically regarded as relatives to Saamni and Suoma peoples. These subcultural ethnicities, the Laapi, Mermanskoa, and the Kvenn to name a few, were killed en masse, it is a miracle that a portion of their populations still exist today. Edel Veirod has since been condemned as definitively the worst Breyburgian leader in history. Today, the Laapi, Mermanskoa and the Kvenn are granted special rights within their respective provinces, however they are not granted the titles of Domain, and are subject to most provincial and Breyburgian rule aside from special cases.

In 1745, King Filip Ekdahl conquered the Saamni territory, placing it under Kalmaa rule, but instead of fully absorbing the land, he granted the Saamni semi-autonomous rights, founding the Saamni Domain. This decision was mostly due to the sheer distance between Lilleske and the Saamni Capital, Deatnu. Later, in 1789 Suoma delegates would use the Saamni Domain as an example that the Suoma could rule themselves.

In 1784, King Filip Ekdahl purchased a Southern Aclusian holding for 8 million Kronor.

In 1812, King Arvid Wikström tasked the military to colonize and conquer a Western region.

In 1834, a referendum was held across the Kalmaa Confederation, questioning whether the two Royal Families should unite. The referendum’s results were majority in favor of the nation being under the rule of one family, 78%.

In 1835, the Brey King, Carl Enrikkson and the Sudermenn Queen, Veronika Krag were married, uniting the two families. The Kalmaa Confederation was renamed to Breyburg, and the Council which had been active since 1668 was transformed into a legislative branch consisting of one House, the Resdag.

In 1889, the Breyburgian public voted in favor of reducing the Royal Families powers within the government. In turn the Resdag became the highest decision and policy making body in all of Breyburg. The Royal Family would retain a partial control over the Military.

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: Raad Sosialistiese Federale Republiek van Traansval; Council Socialist Federal Republic of Traansval; (RSFRT).

National goals: Rebuilding after the devastation of the Nine Years War via rapid industrialization, ensuring the security of the new revolutionary state against reactionaries and foreign opponents, and promoting the worldwide proletarian revolution.

Nation's Leader: Raayis van die Senuitkom Anton de Kom (De Jure); Voorsitter van die Volkskommraad Wilhelm Z. Synman.

National Government: The Republic is a Marxist Council Democracy, meaning that the basis of government is locally organized democratic councils in factories and villages. These councils make decisions by direct democracy, electing members to committees to handle administration, and send representatives to higher councils that govern more significant regions. The highest representative body is the Congress of the Republic, whose decisions are binding law and policy on the nation. The Congress elects members of the Central Executive Committee or Senuitkom, which exercises both legislative and executive power while the Congress is not in session. Its head is the Raayis (President), currently Raayis Anton de Kom, who is the official Head of State of the Republic. The Senuitkom appoints members of the Council of People's Commissars or Volkskommraad, the government of the Republic, whose head is the Voorsitter (Chairman), currently Wilhelm Z. Synman.

National history:

Territory: There are nine Historic Regions of the Traansval, which have no political or administrative purpose but are historic geographic regions. Some of them, like Nordkaap, Gauteng, and many of the northern regions, are almost identical to the borders of administrative units known as Staats. Other regions have some of their territory organized as a Staat and some of it under autonomous regions known as OSRRs.

Language: Taalisan is the language of the Boers; descended from Proto-Rannorian, it has had centuries to diverge from their northern neighbors, including through heavy Morverni influence. The Moverni language is also popular as a lingua franca among the peoples of the south. Other official languages include the Aissini language Kola, standard Yorusian, the Biafran language Bo, the Hausawa language Twifa, standard Akan, and the Mahrebi language Towred.

National Religion: Historically the most major religion in the Traansval has been the ethnoreligious Unitarian Church, or Tevhidism in Taalisan. Tevhidism emerged from the blending of the old Batavian religion with the Church of the One and the Morvernian religion to form a monotheistic, syncretic, and esoteric religion based on the belief that the figures of the various religions are all prophets of the one true god. Tevhidism incorporates classical philosophy, particularly an emphasis on reflection of the mind, and beliefs such as reincarnation. The spread of Tevhidism is limited due to its ethnic connection to the Boer population; conversion is mostly only allowed for marriage and is discouraged though allowed. The single largest faith is the Morvernian religion, which is practiced by many either on its own or in a blend with traditional spiritual beliefs. While a minority, the traditional religions of the equatorial peoples are still practiced. They are characterized by polytheistic or pantheistic beliefs, veneration of their dead, and animistic beliefs. The largest still practiced is Vodun, practiced most within Yorusian communities, the Hausawa religion known as Bori, the Akan religion, and the Aissini mythology. There are also religious minority communities of Christians, Mastupians, and others, mostly among immigrant communities.

National Culture/Identity: Boer culture, due to the historically dominant position of the Boers, is heavily influential throughout the Traansval. It is a synthesis of the continental Nostrian cultures with Morvenian and some Afaarican influences. Traditional Boer music was often created for parties featuring dancing called Sokkies. Taking the nation by storm is a new form of music based heavily on equatorial peoples music known as Kwaito which features the heavy use of brass instruments in lively upbeat tunes, giving it the English nickname “jazz”. Boer dress is largely based off Nostrian customs and is followed throughout the nation largely supplanting custom clothing within cities. Women traditionally wore veils and long skirts, a custom that has fallen out of use except within rural and Morvernian communities.

National Pastime: The most popular sport is Rugby, which was invented in the Traansval during the early 1800s. Adapted from a similar Aissini game, Rugby became wildly popular throughout the Boer population, supplanting Football. Other popular sports include cricket, which was introduced by Aclusian immigrants and is popular among urban populations, and golf. Extremely popular within cities is boxing which, while not illegal, is frowned upon by the Communist Party and thus operates without official sanction.

National holiday: Evacuation Day, August 21st, established in remembrance of the devastating Warglorian evacuation. Victory Day, July 4th, to celebrate the end of the civil war. International Workers Day (May Day), May 1st, began as a show of solidarity for the 1886 Bloemfontein Massacre, it has become a day to celebrate worker power and promote the proletarian revolution.

Nation's Population: There are 115,829,000 Valian citizens. For much of the nation's history citizens were referred to as Boers, the name of the ruling ethnic group, but this practice has fallen out of favor by policy of the KPT, in favor of the term "Valian". Boers, related to the Rannorians, are the largest single ethnic group and historically were the ruling group. Other nationalities include the Khartari of the Oranje-River valley, the Mahrebi nomads of the Masriqi desert, the Aissini and Yerwa of the Veld, and the Hausawa, Akan, Yorusian, and Biafran peoples of the western coast.

Allies: Any Socialist or Communist nation

Enemies: Aclus, Wargloria, Arengin, and other members of the Western League.

Political issues: One group, however, is resistant to the policy of the KPT. Mahrebi, who live within patriarchal tribal structures that have sustained their semi-nomadic lifestyle, are coming into conflict with government plans to settle the Mahrebi and replace their political structures with new ones based on council democracy. The disunited nature of Mahrebi society means that the response to government settlement programs has been a very mixed bag ranging from embracement to armed rebellion. It is a pressing issue that threatens to break out into widespread conflict.

Chance of revolt: Yes

Greatest Victory: Operation Perseus

Most Embarrassing Defeat: The Nine Years War

National Government: (explain it's workings and set-up)

"Carriebean is a Dictatorship with all the bells and whistles of a democracy, and we oft ring them out, but underneath all that noise is a militant clique of officers, generals and the everyday idiocy of an infantryman weidling a bayonet at anything that moves that do whatever it is they deem nessecary for the 'security of the state'."

~ Carriebeanian General of the Empire Travis Revan to a member of Congress following President Marvin Washvelt's State of Anarchy speech to the assembly on March 5, 1913.

The government's head of state is traditionally reserved in the power of the monarchy. The Emperor may conduct 3 out of 10 political, economical and diplomatic responsibilities. The remaining 7 that are deemed to be the most vital to a functioning state are then allocated to the power of the Parliament. The Lord Privy Council and representatives of all three houses of the Parliament negotiate yearly to hash out any disagreements over the power-sharing agreements between the monarch and Parliament. This also means that, at the end of any given year, negotiations for portioned military mobilization may be utilized as a hefty bargaining chip by either side to extract concessions with the other political powers between the two branches of government.

The President of the Council of Ministers (also called the Leading Minister) officially heads meetings of the Carriebeanian cabinet on a day to day basis. He or she is selected from ex-offico heads of government, such as former Prime Ministers. The current Leading Minister, farmer party member (and a former Prime Minister himself) Marchiba Bantejø, was appointed by pirate party member and then Prime Minister Karl Felix Fragharglaøfir as a token symbol of "national unity" in the wake of enemy aggression in early 1914.

In serving in this role, he must maintain the support of the current cabinet, and 3 of the 6 current ministers can file a "petition against the incumbent". The cabinet then votes on either to remove the current Leading Minister and replace him with an interim appointee. This interim appointee serves until the President of Carriebean selects a candidate to succeed the temporary apointee.

Generally speaking, the powers of the head of government is concentrated in the Presidency of Carriebean. The Presidency has caught themselves thanks to vauge wording of their actual powers, to be responsible to few people other than the Emperor himself. This has meant a powerful executive branch that is able to effectively harass, bribe and "convince" Congress to pass various laws and legislations unoffically on the books. He then goes and "chats" with members of Parliament that is also needed to confirm legislation and sees to it that whatever concerns they have are ironed out, or he just kills them.

As for the Upper house of the Carriebeanian legislature, that would be called the Congress.
Whoops! Congress redirects here: did you mean No man's land or a Battlefield?

"Congress" is not two legislative bodies like a house of representatives nor an elected supreme tribunal, it is just Congress. It is the legislative branch that interacts most with the President. It is the sight of every major speech that the President deems is important enough to interrupt their "mandatory fun-cation to the plantations" in order to sit through the dribble that the commander spews forth from his lungs and mouth. It's unique powers among others are the only legislative body with the ability to "declare war and peace". Congress can only be asked to declare war on nations. Should Congress reject such a conflict, Carriebean then, "legally" is not 'at war' with any sovereign state or nationstate. It also may ratify any such treaty or treaties that are signed by Carriebeanian diplomats abroad, adding a sense of civilian oversight over diplomats that might be some army generals on behalf of the country. Budget Bills get final approval in Congress, completing it's starting journey in the House of Peasants.

Legislation completes it's journey here with a final vote. It's passed onto the President's desk for either a veto or his raccoon skin seal of approval. (oh, and like, his...signature, like what, normal countries do and shit like that.) Almost always, the Vice President of Carriebean also serves as the President of Congress, though with limited abilities to interject on debate. However, should the Vice Presidency refuse to show up or is absent, then a President-pro-tempore is selected via both the oldest currently aged Congressman and the oldest currently serving Congressmen, who can either fight to the death for the gavel, hold a duel with large pistols or demur to either for the position.

The Lower house of Carriebean (Parliament) is sub-divided into three separate classes within Parliament. These are the House of Nobles, House of the People, and House of the Peasants. Each of these houses is 2,000 individual seats for a total of 6,000 members of Parliament.

The House of Peasants is comprised of the poorest members of the nation. It is seen widely as the "people" of Carriebean, and are a rabble-rousing, ill-tempered mob of the general populace. If one was to look only at this house for Carriebeanian Democracy, one would be demanding an immediate military takeover for the safety of the state! As for powers this house holds, it may reject and attach recommendations to legislation passed by their far-upper neighbors in Parliament, the House of Nobles. Alongside this, every state budget is drafted with the input from the very begining of the House of Peasants, granting the popular masses their right to will what they deem necessary to the 'people'. Of course, the upper houses generally scrutinize such additions and take some of the more.... *expensive* amendments out of consideration. (Really, Smelly McGee of Yardsmouth, you want a mandatory sheep prison built-this, this isn't even going to be built in your district you idiot! GO BACK TO LOGROLLING SCHOOL YOU SORRY EXCUSE FOR A POLITICAN!)

As for the House of the "People", this is more of a refined wine in contrast to whatever soda pop the Peasantry drinks from. It's no fancy-ass wine that's for sure, but it's got the general feeling of "I know a little bit more of what I'm doing than those idiots in shacks down the street" vibe going for it, so that's something. The powers it wields directly relate to what their fore-fathers had fought for in the First Civil War of the late 17th century. This body has the power to propose new taxes and levels in order to bring up any budgetary shortcuts that happen (good lord, have you seen our accountants?). Alongside that power, it also wields the responsibility for send bills back to the House of Nobles. Should they pass the bill, it then gets tossed down to the very bottom totem poll of Legislative shit-flinging, the aforementioned House of Peasants.

Now, for the fancy-ass nobility of Carriebean with their fancy-ass mansions and plantation homes and thousands of slaves, legislating is often such a bore.. Although they have the responsibility for getting legislation and bills rolling, they often demur and ask for some sort of advice from the People house. As many members of the Peasantry lack the ability to read, they also must ask the People to dumb down a lot of what they propose into fanciful pictures with story telling abilities. The only thing this house likes about the House of the People is that they are NOT the stinky, smelly peasants that managed to win a legislative seat. Should their be a deadlock between all three houses, only the House of Nobles may ask for intervention from the Monarchy, who must be a 'neutral arbitrator' in discussion. However, given the fact that he's still stuck with only a few political abilities in his role, he's not going to be so 'neutral' rather than 'who the hell can I blackmail so that I get the good political powers?'.

Elections in Carriebean

Carriebean elects all 365 members of Congress in three hundred and sixty five single member constituencies.

State of Baja- 52 members of Congress
State of Cactus- 62 members of Congress
State of Steel-63 members of Congress
State of Tortuga- 61 members of Congress
State of Bartlow-60 members of Congress
State of Yoho- 64 members of Congress

Carriebean City-3 members of Congress

Elections for Congress are held every three years since the establishment of Congress in 1855. Candidates may be put forth by the people of Carriebean, with approval of the State Sensus Beaure (yes, I know it's misspelled, many people can't spell very well in this country). Should the SSB approve of a candidacy in a specific constituency, it is then organized with a "maximum" number of candidates that may run in a Legislative seat for Congress. This formula is usually based off of population, but is also a very, very handy way of "squeezing" out the hard candidates. This, in effect has made the State-Sensus Taker one of the most powerful behind the scenes figures in local Carriebeanian politics.

Parliament holds elections for a fourth of the House (1,500 seats) These 1500 seats have 500 from each of the three separate classes. Candidates for Parliamentarian seats only have the restrictions of not being slaves, at least 22 years old (in accordance of the last parliamentarian election for the seat the candidate has chosen to run in) and must be a citizen of Carriebean at the time of tenuring their candidacy for the seat. Any number of candidates may choose to run, but at least 50% must be acquired in every Parliamentarian seat. Should a candidate fail to cross this threshold, then the top-two candidates run again the following Friday for a fresh election.

Presidential elections are held every 5 years, with the following process: Candidates are put strictly either from local level governments, members of the upper house or rich enough businessmen to weasel their way into the elite of Carriebeanian nobility. The main political parties in Carriebean: (Pirate, Farmers and Royalist) then put forth their candidates for the office. The selection process involves National Conventions in order to select a winner for nomination. A running-mate is also often chosen at this.

Following both major parties nomination convention, then the Carriebeanian Electoral College is organized. This is organized with the traditional number of Congressional representatives each state gets, plus the sum of both individual numbers.

...HOWEVER, each of these are treated like a math problem in their own right, which requires the usage of PEMDAS, or Please Entertain my Dumb Ass Slave.

State of Baja- 52 + 5 x 2 = 62 electors
State of Cactus- 62 + 6 x 2 = 64 electors
State of Steel-63 + 6 x 2 = 81 electors
State of Tortuga- 61 + 6 x 1 = 67 electors
State of Bartlow-60 + 6 x 0 = 66 electors
State of Yoho- 64 + 6 x 4 = 88 electors
Capital City 3 + 3 x 1 = 6 electors

This means there is a total of 434 electoral votes, of which a majority is needed to be elected President of Carriebean. Thus a candidate running would need to get at least 218 of the 434 electoral votes in order to win.

National history:
Carriebeanian foreign policy during the Nine year's War was partially fueled thanks to the rise of nationalism within Carriebean. Even as class divides got worse within the country between the rich and poor, the legislature failed to act on real policy changes thanks to steadfast opposition by the Nobility of Carriebean/ the royal family. These in turn drove up unrest and discontent throughout the country. In 1903, Carriebeanian Militia forces instigated several boarder skirmishes with the Breyburgians. Although many of these actions were horrifically one-sided against the Carriebeanians, the local militia members and communities of such towns and villages instead strengthened their adoration of the state. It was a source of pride for a country that was in the midst of the 'Panic of 1902'. While not perfect soldiers by any stretch of the imagination (and far from it), they still insisted on raiding local Breyburgian towns and burning down various villages/capturing slaves. When Breyburg got the messages, the Carriebeanian Foreign Minister soon delivered a message to Queen Sarah herself. In it, the Breyburgians demanded the raids stop, their citizens returned and the withdrawal of all Carriebeanian Forces from three to five miles from the boarder in order to establish a demilitarized zone. Carriebeanian patriotism was at an all time high, in spite of it's track history of monumental military and diplomatic failures as a nation-state. Carriebeanian Congress deliberated the response for less than nine minutes before inviting President Marvin Washvelt to declare war on Breyburg.

The Carriebeanian Front of the Nine Year's War had begun.

Almost Immediately, Operation Sourpuss was crafted overnight with the finest source of charcoal stencils and the occasional raccoon skin seal of approval by the head of state. It's overarching plan? To draw a line on the map and point the armies in the direction of their enemy, instructing them to either 'lure the enemy' ammunition out of hiding by shouting, whooping and making all sorts of noise so as to deprive the enemy of ammunition's when our main lines meet'. The force tasked with this noble goal? The Militia and whomsoever was unfortunate enough to be handed a frying pan, Rifle and some bullet and told to 'march forth' by their wife or whomever they love. Breyburgian defenders in their bunkers and trenches had a field day slaughtering thousands of Carriebeanians who had been slow-marched to lure their ammunition out of hiding. Unfortunately, as soon as the War began, Carriebeanian logistics completely collapsed. Some dumbass set a Nickle on the main train line that moved supplies from the Capital to a supply hub, this in turn derailed a full 23 car locomotive and killed over three thousand Carriebeanian Soldiers.

Carriebean afterward, opted to guard the railroad from sabotage with thousands of paid volunteers that were tossed a rifle, a saber (and if they were lucky, a bullet). As Carriebeanian logistics imploded upon themselves multiple times, Many Carriebeanian forces opted to waltz to the frontline in little organized fashion, often just family members trotting along the dirt paved (if you were lucky) roads before the April rains turned it into Liquid Carriebean. Although Damiyo of the Lords Partch Bently Sr. demanded a full scale offensive, he was forced to wait for months at a time as what little constituted reinforcements gradually trickled up. By the time 1914 ticked around, the Breyburgians had built up an impressive number of fortifications and defensive positions. General Partch was impatient and immediately began an offensive that February. This offensive, known as the "Winter Offestival" because of the large moral boosting festivals held intermitidely between each large scale offensive, was a monumental failure. Of the eighteen Carriebeanian divisions on the field (360,000) five divisions were completely wiped out, and twelve additional were so badly mauled by fighting that they were unable to form effective military units. Over 300,000 Carriebeanian casualties for... six miles of territorial gains. Carriebeanian high command was impressed at the military progress so far and so promoted Bently to General of the Empire and was given overall command of the entire frontline.

Carriebean, for now, opted to play defensively. More fortifications were built up along the frontline and they dared Breyburg to launch an attack. Limited probing efforts by the Breyburgians netted some of the few Carriebeanian successes in the war, such as when a Breyburgian division was fired upon by almost a thousand Carriebeanian artillery pieces (20% of which hit their targets). However, this also marked up painstakingly obvious vulnerabilities in Carriebeanian battle tactics. Carriebean was preciously low on shells. Carriebean had 30,000 shells for all their artillery pieces stockpiled, figuring this would be enough ammunition.

Yeeah within the first half-hour of the Nine-Year's War, Carriebean was out of artillery ammunition. On the home front, Carriebeanian poop factories were refurbished into shell production facilities, competing in the race to supply the guns with enough shells for upcoming offensives, though many workers stationed there often hated this aspect, as they would only be granted one 4 second break and two 18 second breaks throughout their 9 hour shifts. This massive ramp up in production brought forth Carriebeanian farmers to the Cities, increasing the population of the Capital to hundreds of thousands by the end of the war. Warensach- Bresslaou Naval Architecture divested into the production of artillery into the Army, bolstering the ammunition stockpiles from a production of just 148,000 shells in the entire year of 1914 to producing over 150,000 shells every day by the year 1920.

thinking the initial border skirmishes during the 9YW could be started by your militias taking an increase in Breyburgian military activity on your border as an act of war

Territory: Steel, Cactus, Tortuga, Bartlow, Yoho.

Language: Newne Carriespeak, Olde Carriespeak

National Religion: In spite of the Japanese influences of Buddhism of the past century or so, Carriebean's main religion is still firmly one of two forces. You've got the elderly powers of the Catholic Church, these are comprised of more left-leaning members and are often among the ranks of the dirt poor people. Many of the local politicians that are some-how not bribed to be a protestant are willing members of Rome.

In contrast, much of the nobility of Carriebean still retains their anglicized and American root religions, and are very willing to experiment with Satanism, Sun worship, even dipping occasionally into the polytheistic treasure trove that are ancient Olympians and Egyptian gods and goddesses. Religion still plays an important role in crafting Carriebeanian society, often in the form of a religious justification to the "moral purity" that Slavery plays in Carriebeanian culture.

Carriebeanian religious and political fabric had been thrown through a loop thanks in part to Queen Sarah. The young teenaged monarch belonged to neither the Protestants nor the Catholics, but had sworn allegiance to the Methodist faith, preaching it as a 'balanced' middle ground. The Protestant nobility and Catholic peasantry soon found themselves at an uneasy alliance, forcing the abdication of Queen Sarah. In their haste of celebration, the peasantry forced their way into the Imperial Palace and championed the cause of the Queen's brother Michael, who was firmly a Catholic. He was so much a Catholic that the Nobility feared a whirlwind of reforms that would border the likes of the violent era of the 2nd Carriebeanian Civil War. So, in order to avoid a civil war, the Imperial Army led a coup d'état in 1908 that replaced "Pretender Michael" with the Queen's other brother, Michael-David, who to avoid confusion took the reginal name David, being crowned David III.

National Culture/Identity: A very... antebellum like nobility, complete with slaves and massive plantation homes. This is also with a mixture of Japanese into the nobility, with many taking Japanese sounding names. The poorer classes are vehemently a staunch white class, and holds a great deal of racist resentment towards their more successful neighbors.

National Pastime: Dying of dysentery, sometimes dying of the plague, and every once and a while we get a good influenza.

National holiday:
Festival of Saint East (or Eastern Saints)
Festival of the Saints Germain
Festival of the Sun God
Festival of the Sea

Nation's Population: 32,620,094

Allies: I don't fucking know...Jake from state farm at 3 in the morning. Probably.

Enemies: Manticore, Breyberg

Political issues:(if any)

Chance of revolt:(yes/no) There are still some bitter farmers and soldiers within the country that would rather shoot at the nobility than serve them. Mostly these people still hold a grudge over the "pretender" David taking the throne. More radical sections of these groups also advocate for the overthrow of the government, and there are various sub-factions and all sorts of crazies that are a part of the social clubs and ice cream whatevers that they partake in. Although Michael is still alive, he was generally given a light punishment (at least in terms of being the victim of a coup). Only one of his six mansions and plantations were seized by the Emperor, and he still retains a modest salary as a former member of Parliament back during his service in the 1870s. He wouldn't really be willing to risk his head on the chopping block for a rallying effect of putting him back on the throne, so he's content with sitting back, relaxing with some classical hill-billy music of his grandfathers while sipping on a bottle of whiskey, slowly dying of alcohol poisoning.

Marine Corps/Naval Infantry

Kyarībīn Kaigunhohei (Carriebeanian Naval Infantry, KKH or alternatively CNI) is the only main force of Naval Infantry within the Imperial Carriebeanian Armed Forces. These are often seen as the "Navy's Army" in blunt terms by any literate Imperial Army officer with a chip on their shoulders. These are often 'semi-trained' sailors of almost every role that a ship needs to function. These are expected to preform their duties alongside assisting with landing operations, boarding offensives and demolition services. These Sailors can hold their own in infantry combat should they be supported by juicy naval artillery, but if left exposed to enemy fire have little hope in suriving for prolonged periods of time without resupply. From a command standpoint, they are generally headed by the Naval Minister for Naval Infantry, though in practicality ultimate useage is either dictated directly from the top with orders from the President himself or through the actions of individual captains and their respective units fighting independently from a 'centralized command structure'.

Nation name: The Commonwealth of Reikland

Flag: My current nation flag

National goals: To secure the interests of her citizens and create a world safe for democratic and republican ideals.

Nation's Leader: President Aaron Smith, Prime Minister Sarah O’Connell

National Government: The government of the Commonwealth is a Federal Semi-Presidential Republic. President Aaran Smith is the Head of State and official Head of Government. Prime Minister Sarah O’Connell is the leader of the majority party in Parliament, making her the de-facto Head of Government. Parliament is organized around a bicameral legislature, consisting of the Senate and General Assembly. The Senate is organized with three senators for every province in the Commonwealth, appointed by the provincial legislatures every five years. The General Assembly consists of representatives for each district in the Commonwealth, elected each year in instant runoff elections every five years.
There are two major subgroups of Parliament. The first is The Government, the political party or coalition that the current Prime Minister belongs to and, most commonly, holds a majority in both houses. The second is The Opposition, which is the largest political party or coalition in Parliament that are not in the Government. Typically, parties often ally themselves with other parties, either for ideological reasons or simply for reasons of convenience, forming complicated power blocs within Parliament that can often hinder the function of the legislature. Allegiances often change with each election, though some parties are known to switch camps on a dime or form their own camps.

The President, serving as Head of State and Head of the Cabinet, is assisted by several advisors, each of who is responsible for a particular department within the government. These advisors are Secretary of State Alfonso Ashburn, Secretary of the Treasury Charles McNair, Secretary of War Charles Lee, Secretary of the Navy Rachel Cummins, Attorney General Gordon Brown, Secretary of the Interior Edward Turner, Secretary of Agriculture Cornelius Peters, Secretary of Commerce Raymond Nichols, Secretary of Labor Son Smith, Secretary of Health and Human Services Ralph Mitchell, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alexander Isler, Secretary of Transportation Richard Westbrook, Secretary of Education Lawrence Holt, Secretary of Veterans Affairs George Sher, Office of Management and Budget Director Douglas Johnson, and Chief of Staff Rufus Heskett. In general, the President will primarily oversee foreign policy while the Prime Minister oversees domestic policy, though the Constitution leaves the exact division of responsibility up to the President.
The Prime Minister serves as the Head of Parliament and emergency Head of State if the President is ill and can also attend state functions in place of the President.
The Department of State is the diplomatic and foreign affairs arm of theGovernment, responsible for meeting with foreign dignitaries, negotiating with foreign powers, drafting treaties, and providing ambassadors and staff members for the Commonwealth's various embassies.
The Department of the Treasury controls the Government's money and regulates taxes, tariffs, and other facets of the economy.
The Department of War is responsible for ensuring the security of the realm as well as defending her allies and securing her assets abroad, specifically in regards to the Army and Air Force.
The Department of the Navy shares many of its responsibilities with the Department of War, though it specifically focuses on the Navy.
The Department of Labor is responsible for regulating businesses and preventing the exploitation of Reikish citizens for monetary gain.
The Department of the Interior is responsible for the maintenance of government buildings, government land, and national parks.
The Department of Agriculture regulates farming and ensures that the food that is sold to the Empire's citizens is safe.
The Department of Commerce regulates both foreign and domestic trade.
The Department of Justice is responsible for enforcing the laws of the Commonwealth, including the investigation and prosecution of crimes.
The Department of Health and Human Services regulates medical practice and helps to ensure that orphans and widows are cared for as well as victims of domestic violence.

National history: The history of Reikland begins with native tribes that sailed over from Indianum around 15,000 years ago. Several cultures are evident from archaeological evidence, though little is known about them in 1925. More modern native tribes suffered greatly from their isolation from the mainland, with upwards of 90% of the population dying to diseases brought over from the New World.

The earliest colonists from Nostria were Warglorian explorers, seeking an alternative route to the Aydinirian trading empire. They would be followed throughout the 15th and 16th centuries by Aclusian and Islander colonists, establish colonies along the coast of the continent named Reikland by the initial surveyor, Artur Reik. The colonies would fight several wars with the local tribes, expanding their holdings until they eventually controlled the entirety of the coastline. Competition between the Colonies would lead to several wars, eventually culminating in the dominance of Aclus over the continent. That final dominance, achieved in 1754, would be followed a generation later by the Reikish War for Indepedence from 1774 to 1780. The 6 year war would see Reikland, an Aclusian country following the Aclusian religion and speaking Aclusian but with a Warglorian name, emerge as an independent state, the Commonwealth of Reikland.

Over the next several decades, Reikland would expand to control the areas of Reikland the colonies had not yet dominated. This led to the near extinction of the native tribes in a series of genocidal campaigns, often led by wealthy landowners seeking to expand their holdings without waiting on the lengthy process of negotiations favored by Parliament.

However, in the process, the Reikish would find themselves embroiled in a series of wars with Aclus, with a total of 9 wars between 1790 and 1910. The 9th Reikish-Aclusian War would finalize the already longstanding Reikish policy of spending close to half their budget on the military, with a majority of it going to the Navy in an effort to compete with the Aclusian navy.

On the 28th of April, 1913, Reikland and her allies in the ARN entered into The Nine Year War, following increasing tensions between the ARN and the Western League, particularly over Skartenian intrusions. The war, which lasted 9 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days, resulted in initial ARN victories, especially in Terraria, though these were reversed quickly by Western League advances in Yorusia and Nostria. The Commonwealth Army achieved some victories in cooperation with the Traansval, though at significant cost in lives. At sea, battles between the ARN and Western League were indecisive and resulted in heavy losses to personnel and ships. By the time the war ended in 1921, the Commonwealth had conscripted 11.25 million men, of whom 2,010,200 were killed and 3,328,188 were wounded. The Navy lost 2 dreadnoughts, 3 battlecruisers, 13 pre-dreadnoughts, 29 cruisers, 62 submersibles, 74 destroyers, and 11 torpedo boats during the course of the war, taking nearly 40,000 sailors to the deep. Reikland would exit the war several months before its final end after a series of Western League offensives broke the ARN lines in Rannoria and Traansval, with the Whigs negotiating an honorable peace with the Western League, a move seen by the Centrists as a betrayal of Reikland's allies.

In the years since the war, the isolationist Whigs have taken hold of Parliament, pushing the Centrists and Progressives, who had championed the course to war, into a minority. How the Whigs can hold onto power, however, remains to be seen.

Territory: Red on Map

Language: English

National Religion: The Faith, a polytheistic religion that centers on deific families. These Families are the Heavens, the Earth, The Sea, the Underworld, and War. According to the teachings of the Priests, the Chief Gods gather around a large table in a great, stone hall. At the head of the table is seated Frodl, the God of Learning, the sky, and King of the Heavens and, by extension, the Gods. To his right is seated Thorunn, Goddess of the Sun, Warmth, and Justice and wife of Frodl. To his left is seated Moni, Goddess of the Moon, the Hunt, and Fire and second wife of Frodl. Next to Moni is her daughter, Fylle, Goddess of the Sea, the Tides, and Currents, patron of fisherman and Mother of the Oceans. She sits with Jolat, God of the Sea, Fish, and Ocean Storms, patron of seafarers and Father of the Oceans. Next to Thorunn sits Atix, daughter of Thorunn and Goddess of the Earth, Storms, Winter, Animals, and Mother of the Earth. Next to Atix sits Tyemis, God of Joy, Companionship, Spring, Agriculture, Commerce, Messengers, husband of Atix and Father of the Earth. Areia, Goddess of Battle, Shieldmaidens, and Fertility, the daughter of Frodl and Moni and Mother of War, sits next to Jolat. Next to Areia sits Tor, God of Battle, Soldiers, and Wisdom, husband of Areia and Father of War. Across from Areia and Tor sit Fyll, God of Death, King of the Underworld and Father of Frodl, and his wife, Neor, Goddess of Memory, Fondness, and the Guide of the Souls of the Dead. At the end of the table sat the only creature to pre-exist them all. Time.
The Priests tell us that Time, being alone and without companionship, sought to create for himself companions. He plucked from his body a rib, which he fashioned into Fyll, and a string of his heart, which he fashioned into Neor. Neor and Fyll, however, were more interested in each other than in Time. They came together and were familiar and, in this way, Frodl was birthed. Angered by their lack of interest, Time struck them, causing Fyll to lose his left eye and Neor to lose a lock of her golden hair. Fyll and Neor fled, taking with them the growing Frodl and time, overcome with grief at his actions, sought to atone. For this, he crafted Fyll's eye into Moni and Neor's hair into Thorunn. Time searched far and wide and eventually found Fyll and Neor, where he offered Moni and Thorunn as brides for Frodl, a token of his apology. Frodl was wedded to Moni and Thorunn, a sign of the Heavens acceptance of Time. As a further act of penance, Time crafted the Underworld, to house Fyll and Neor, where they could be alone. He then crafted the Sun, the Moon, and the Heavens, to be home to Thorunn, Moni, and Frodl. Comfortable and with a place to call home, Frodl and Moni bore Fylle, the Ocean Mother. But she was not whole and without a companion, she was consumed with dread. And so was crafted by Time, a new companion, this one of his heel. Fylle was introduced to Jolat and they were wedded, forming the Seas and bringing with them the many animals that would inhabit them. But Jolat was quick to anger and with his anger could bring terrible storms, soothed only by the touch of Fylle and the warmth of her embrace. Thorunn, jealous of Moni, came next to Frodl, begging for a daughter of her own. Frodl, not wanting to treat his second wife unfairly, obliged and so was born Atix. Atix, like Fylle before her, was alone. She saw her Mothers and Father and her Sister and her Grandfather and Grandmother and saw that they had companions and she did not. Frodl asked Time to craft her something and Frodl first made the Land, where she could live in joy. But the Land did not offer what Atix sought and, overcome with despair, Atix let the Land wither and wilt. Time realized his mistake and plucked from himself a section of his leg and crafted it into Tyemis. He placed Tyemis on the Land, where he greeted Atix. Atix, filled with joy at having a companion at last, brought forth a bounty from the Land and, with Tyemis, filled with all manner of plant and beast. But Atix was fragile, prone to bouts of despair, casting chill winds upon the Land, so powerful even Tyemis struggles to make it to her. But Tyemis always makes it, bringing with him the Spring. Try as Frodl might to be fair to his wives, Moni was his first and favorite. With her he fathered a third daughter, Areia. Like her sisters, Areia was lonely. But where her sisters sank into despair, Areia fought. First she went to her parents, demanding from them a companion. When they could not provide, she went to Fyll and Neor and made the same demand. Finally, she went to Time himself and demanded a companion. Time had learned from his prior creations. Moni and Thorunn, the wives of Frodl, disliked each other, necessitating that they live apart. Jolat was swift to anger, soothed by the calming touch of Fylle. Tyemis, likewise, served to balance the despair of Atix. But he could think of nothing to balance Areia. She was not angry nor did she despair. What she desired was different. And so, Time plucked from himself a part of his brain and forged it into Tor. Areia was pleased with her companion, for he was quick witted and confident, a perfect companion in her eyes. In this way, the story goes, did the Universe come to be. Throunn, Moni, and Frodl sired more children, the stars and other worlds. Areia and Tor made Men, forging them in their image. Strong, full of courage, and with keen wits to place them above the beasts of Land and Sea. But as consequence or perhaps by design, Men were filled with a desire for contest and conflict. This desire caused no small amount of grief to the Gods, save for Tor and Areia who, as parents should, sought to guide their children and lead them on the path to greatness. It is for this reason, the Priests tell us, that the Reikish became the favored children of Tor and Areia. It is from Tor and Areia that we gained fire, writing, a master of masonry, shipbuilding, metalworking, and other crafts. And it is also to them that we give the most homage. But, the Priests warn, it is unbecoming to refuse homage to the other Gods, who give us the bounties of their labors.

National Culture/Identity: The Reikish are described as fiercely independent in the country, hardworking and humorless throughout, extremely patriotic and fiercely protective of their democratic traditions. They are devout in their worship and some are quite superstitious. Prior to the Nine Year War, Reikland had a notably aggressive bend, with the war deities often placed above the other Gods. Reikish soldiers will paint their faces with red and black face paint in simple yet striking patterns, believed to provide them with strength, protection, and fortune from the Gods.

Army

The National Defense Act of 1924, passed into law in February of that year, reorganized the Commonwealth Army into a force better suited for peacetime operations while retaining its wartime capabilities as a defensive force. The four Army Area Headquarters were replaced by 4 Field Armies, each Field Army responsible for three Army Corps as well as 3 cavalry divisions and a Tank Brigade. Each of the three Army Corps would be responsible for 6 Infantry Divisions and a Tank Brigade. Each Army Headquarters had a staff of 37 Officers, 21 Warrant Officers, 173 Enlisted Personnel, and 41 Civilians for a total of 272 men with a General in overall command. Each Corps Headquarters would have a staff of 45 Officers, 48 Warrants, 103 Enlisted, and 71 Civilians for 267 personnel with a Lieutenant General in command. Each tank brigade maintained its role and organization from the Nine Year War, totalling a battalion of heavy tanks and two battalions of light tanks, for a total of 1,869 men and 213 tanks. The 54 Infantry Divisions now authorized were reduced from 19,385 men and 2 infantry brigades of 2 regiments to 16,273 men and 1 infantry brigade of 3 regiments. Each Cavalry Division would be reduced from 7,463 men and two brigades to 6,207 men and three regiments. The second brigade's Machine Gun squadron was retained. There are a total of 12 Cavalry Divisions, 12 Tank Brigades, and 54 Infantry Divisions. However, most of these formations remained understrength.

The Commonwealth Navy organizes her combat power into squadrons, divisions, and flotillas, which are then combined into fleets.

The basic Naval element is the Division, a formation of 2 to 4 ships, depending on the type. Submarine and Destroyer Divisions contain 4 ships, with 3 Divisions plus a tender to a Destroyer Squadron and 4 Divisions plus a tender to a Submarine Squadron. Submarines and Destroyers are the only ship types which group squadrons into larger Flotillas, with 2 squadrons to a Submarine Flotilla and 4 squadrons led by a Light Cruiser constituting a Flotilla destroyer flotilla.
Cruiser divisions are more rare, consisting of around 3 Heavy Cruisers or 4 Light Cruisers if part of a squadron. Cruiser Squadrons contain 2 Cruiser Divisions.
Battlecruiser Divisions contain 3 battlecruisers, with 2 divisions to each Squadron.
Battleship Divisions contain 4 ships, with two divisions to a squadron. Battle Squadrons One through Four are made up of the new Averland and Mootland class battleships while Battle Squadrons Five through Eleven are made up of the older classes, with a single class making up a full squadron.

Under the Navy is the Marines, an amphibious warfare force renowned for their ferocity and ingenuity. There are two primary units in the Marines; The Marine Detachment and the Marine Defense Battalion. Marine detachments number 35 to 55 men and are aboard cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers. Marine Defense Battalions number 1,312 officers and men and are equipped with machine guns, anti-aircraft artillery, 5” naval guns, and searchlights to defend the Empire’s island territories and naval bases from amphibious attack. In total there are 92 Marine Detachments totaling 4,200 Marines and 8 Marine Defense Battalions totaling 10,496 Marines. Various other specialties and postings, such as embassy security, the Presidential Guard Company, and GHQM have the remaining 1,139 Marines.

Greatest Victory: Battle of Somursk, when the outnumbered rebel army, won against the superior Imperial Army

Most Embarrassing Defeat: Battle of Vincegrad, when the Somuriasian army is retreating just because of a fog caused by horses running in the field (they thought the fog is caused by guns or enemy cavalries)

Bio: Dimitry Nikolayevich Petrunov, is a 27 years old president of Somurias, which was elected by the people to become the first president of Somurias. His father, Semyon Leonid Petrunov is a farmer, while his mother, Nikolayeva Katarina Petrunova is a teacher. He was bullied by his fellow colleagues when he was 9 years old. When he reach the age of 13, he cannot continue his education, but that thing did not stop Dimitry from learning

He learned more about things, and then he learned about the history of the kingdom of Somurias. He then questioning, why did the monarchy exist? When he reach the age 15 years old, he's smarter than a people with the same age as his age. Although a war broke out, and Dimitry was forced to join the military. When the war is over, he hold the rank captain of the Imperial Army.

When he was 19 years old, he fought for the communist against the king, and succeeded. He achieved the rank general of the Red Army. Although a former royalist general had stole his attention. He listen to what the general said, and then he become one of the somurist supporter. Protest happened, and he was deployed to Somursk, to protect the government members from the protesters, but instead of protecting them, he and his army, joined the protesters against the communist regime

The communist regime fell. Someone suggested that Dimitry should joined the 1920 election, and he was elected as the first president of Somurias. He did several reformations, and constructing more factories, and lead Somurias to it's golden era
Quirks:

Right, so we feel that you're apping for a bit too much territory first of all, and also your history is rather barebones, some more detail would be nice and you can ask questions to our fellows if you want to know more about your surroundings and the geopolitics of the world.

Also, everyone, please note the new "RP Sample" section of the app that needs to be filled out. Here, as you probably already know, you link a previous RP or story or somesuch (it can be from any website, even outside of NS) that you were a part of so we can determine whether your previous behaviour and writing style is acceptable in the RP.

If you're new to RPing or don't have anything that you feel truly displays your writing style or experience, then you can substitute it with your own written piece—it can be a story you've written on the side, or a story sample you write on the spot.
