Formal Nation Name: The Greater Remnant Cooperation Sphere
Shortened Nation Name: GRCS
Demonym: Remnant
Capital city: Olympia, URA, GRCS
National Population (RP): 1,467,483,381
Form of Government: Federal Republic
Is your Government by the people?: In most cases, yes.
How do you describe the political atmosphere of your state?: Varies between individual states, so Center
Head of State: President Gabriel Drake
Head of Government: GRCS Council

Brief History of your nation: The GRCS has its roots in the 1995 election of Gabriel Drake to the presidency of the United Remnant Avtarkiya and the subsequent revival of the Remnant economy and national consciousness. Soon after, the War of Remnant Expansion and occupation of Zhangua, and the grant of limited independence to Pragmata and Alenterra created the prototype of what would later be called the Greater Remnant Cooperation Sphere. Over the next quarter-decade, Nongea, Canaam, Namavar, and Modeno all joined the GRCS as well, either voluntarily, or through political, economic, or military pressure. At this time, the GRCS is currently in the process of consolidating the various cultures, economies, and military forces while those same differences threaten to stagnate or even dissolve the nation that has spent 25 years attempting to become a regional power.

Got a few things that need clarification:
1. What exclusions apply when referring to the Right to Equality?
2. What are the restrictions to "Freedom of Expression?"
3. What are the restrictions on "Freedom from Arbitrary Detention?"

1. A certain ethnicity has been banned wholesale from the country and will be detained and deported to literally anywhere else upon being discovered. Also, as such, while some of the cults say they're a religion, they're violent cults and don't get to be treated equally on the grounds of religion.
2. Referring back to the cults, you can express your beliefs up until you start harvesting another person's organs or mutilating people who didn't ask for it.
3. I guess, upon reflection, it's not an "arbitrary" detention if you're a suspected cultist, terrorist, or -insert banned ethnicity here-, it it?

Why is an entire ethnicity banned?

Wait. Ethnicity or nationality?

Because Azens caused the worst coordinated terrorist attack in the history of the GRCS, and they were such a relatively small population already that it was fairly easy to tell them that they all had to go anywhere else just as long as they didn't stick around.

Then we told them and their friends not to come back. Ever.

Terrorism problem solved.

1. Is your government by the people?
2.What is the reason for your nation joining the IFC?
3. Do you agree to abide by the terms and conditions set forth under the Charter in IFC legislation?
Answer these three questions and resend your application so it can be properly reviewed.

On a different note, some members show some apprehension on your prospective delegate to the IFC. Most of this apprehension is based on the age of your foreign minister, and how realistic it is to have a 17 year old male decisions at an alliance level, not to mention a supposed lack of experience that only comes with age and higher education.

What's the difference between the two?

• Population: 320 million

GD is, well, GD. Palmyrion-GD refers to the Palmyrian continuity in Greater Dienstad. (Let's not get into the ramble between SACTO and GD.. That would only be an unproductively messy thing.) KY is an RP group that Cuscy is thinking of forming composed of deeply flawed states. Palmyrion-KY refers to the Palmyrian continuity in Cuscy's proposed RP group, and is a much more dystopian version of Palmyrion-GD.

Palmyrion-GD's stats are in IIWiki, but Palmyrion-KY's stats are roughly as follows:

• Population: 320 million
• Nominal GDP: $3.2 trillion (GDPPC of $10,000)
• PPP-adjusted GDP: $4 trillion (GDPPC of 12,500)
• Military and defence

Palm your country better be stable this time around, you can’t just have tons of terror attacks going on all the time. Also we’ll probably discuss canon stuff later.
