International District [OOC, TWI]

[Valhapia]

The Republic of Valhapia is a democratic, parliamentary republic with a mostly ceremonial head of state. It is a strong proponent of free markets, a welfare state, democracy, and popular sovereignty.

[Nangelia]

The United Kingdom of Nangelia is a nation that has faced economic stagnation, corruption and public safety crisis since the early 2000s and nation-wide protests last year called for a change. And so, following the resignation of social democrat Chanceller in January, Bernardo Schmidt, and lack of consense between the parties, the King has interviewed multiple high profile candidates to fill the Chanceller role, he chose businesswoman and former Bank of Nangelia President, Theresa Magalhães, to assemble a new cabinet that would act as a caretaker goverment until October.

Nine months later, with the results of the 2022 General Elections, as much as 40% of Congress is composed of new faces, as investigations reveal a multitude of corruption cases involving MPs, Companies and Organizations, that's been going on for decades. Many candidates were elected under the anti-corruption banner and have praised the work of Theresa's Cabinet over the past months. And the government will need the support of it's newly reinforced base now more than ever, because it's time for economic and administrative reforms that are far more unpopular than fighting corruption, but are fundamental if the country wishes to continue it's recovery process.

[Buth Frenopia]

Hey I'm the Allied States of Buth Frenopia, as my nation is recently recovering from a civil war, I am looking for allies and trade partners in the area. My nation boasts large deposits of uranium, fish and cattle.

[Baumes]

Hello, I'm the Republic of Baumes, a tropical Caribbean inspired nation which heavily relies on the tourism and agriculture industry. I look forward to meet you all!

[Azataria]

Azataria, a nation positioned in Gael is a heavily industrial and hostile nation. It's history has been filled with civilwars, revolutions, and occupation. Azataria's government is a authoritarian dictatorship which aims at destroying it's political enemies, one way or another. It's biggest enemies come in the form of Christian Theocracies, Socialist States, and any other that is seen as a threat to the Taurzuz religion of Azataria and Azatarian independence. Azataria was a former battleground in the Cold War with the USSR and USA putting billions of dollars into proxy wars there.
During the Age of Imperialism, Azataria was a Spanish Colony. However it's people never submitted to the Spanish Empire and had adopted the Taurzuz religion with the thought that Azatarians were some of the many chosen people.
Now Azataria is an expansionist, hostile nation. American companies have found the growing Azatarian economy as a place to setup business. Azataria also produces a large amount of American and NATO weaponry for itself by using deals with the alliance as a way to gain rights to fabricate them.
When it comes to what I want for an rp. It involves a few things.
1. A War Over a Religious, Political, or Territorial Dispute.
2. Allies with similar ideas and close proximity to Azataria.

[Yemarnia]

Hello everyone!

I'm going to write my nation's (yemarnia) history here:
Yemarnia is a socialist country with a planned economy. It was first colonized by the United Kingdom, until it declared its independence becoming a far-right dictatorship. During the cold war it was an American ally until the revolution of 1981, when the current order was more-or-less established. After a brief skirmish with American troops stationed here, Yemarnia joined the Soviet sphere. The next few years Yemarnia struggled to recover from the banana republic era it was in, which it managed to do becoming a country which mostly produces its own goods. With the disolution of the USSR Yemarnia's planned economy struggled alot, however the country managed to recover and adjust to this post-cold war world.

As for roleplay, some ideas I have are to build public transit lines with my neighbours, as well as have some country embargo me and make an America-Cuba style blockade.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is enough ...Ainslie...

[Vacrus]

Hello, I might be late be here, but its better than nothing, right?

The Theocracy of Vacrus is a Far-Right Economy, but Far-Left Socially, Catholic Theocracy, and a Pacifist nation, the nation primarily focused on Spirituality, Education, and Welfare, and it relied on Tourism.

[Khishaurig]

_{Hello folks!}
I just returned to NS after almost a one-year break! I got interested in the lore aspect of the server and I love these kinds of servers! I'm new around these corners and we need to start somewhere right? Anyways let's hop to it!



The Free Land of Khishaurig is a tropical island in the bay of Bengal

I might have to change the location because the map is weird.

Here is a summary of this beautiful nation

This hidden oasis was found by pioneers who desperately wanted to leave their countries for a new shot at life, they did not expect to find something beyond their wildest dreams... These people went on to bring others to this land, these three men founded this country, ShaUrYa, KhIsHOr and riG.
The country was quiet for a while until the leaders decided to change for the better. They started implementing very strict laws to keep their environment clean, attracted tourists and made the tourism sector their main source of income. Although it was risky if it backfired the nation would have found itself in severe debt never having had a large sum of money before. The country then began diversifying its economy and exports to be more self-sufficient. Now the country is rich in culture and wealth. The people's satisfaction is also a priority for the great haven. The country is now in a stage of branching out, making allies and entering a new age of prosperity...

WITH PROSPERITY COMES WAR!!!

What I want:
<New economic relations to diversify my economy
<A new alliance which will benefit all parties in case of high tension and war
<This lovely community

The concept of my nation was a silly joke between me and my friends
The founders of this nation are pioneers who left Nepal, India and Sri Lanka. Khishaurig has expressed that it would like to try and unite all these territories, whether it is by brute force, a diplomatic meeting or just an alliance. Khishaurig has also expressed its intentions of growing exponentially, in all categories and enforcing what it's weak in, meaning it will get a bigger military, more land etc. It follows a similar government style to the ones used in Nordic countries, with lots of freedom for the people, good country all around except going for the twist of it being more extreme.


It's going to be fun to see how far we can go! Hope this will be a fun journey! Or is it? I hope is going to be a nice one

[Syrasia]

Welp, looks like I'm nation 450 <_<

Hola, for those of you who don't know me I am Syrasia. I have just moved from a past-tech RP region very dear to me, and I'm looking to really build a nation focused around my own political beliefs and also just to relax a bit!

The nation of Syrasia, I envision, will be an ex-colony, having become independent similar to the US/Canada/South Africa in the late 1700s/early 1800s, and through the 1920s would've transitioned to democratic socialism, but socialism with a very lower case 's'. It's similar to the NEP in Russia for example, but much more permanent and refined.

I'm just about to send my map app. now!

[Gre The Fren]

I have an idea for all smaller islands at south-west of the map to form a very large navy.

[Vrisland]

I'm trying to model the Kingdom of Vrisland something along the lines of a northern European/Germanic state. Not totally sure what exactly I'm going for yet. The two languages will be French and Dutch (or a TWI equivalent of them). It will have a relatively high standard of living, but there will be some ethnic tensions between the French and Dutch speaking parts of the nation. It's government will be relatively democratic and will take a non-interventionist approach to international relations. Everything else is TBD.

Definitely talk to Dormill and Stiuria Bout history, then. He's got a french/Dutch thing going on and you could work with him to get some history going and give you a starting Point.

[Eserol]

New nation the Community of Eserol, posting here for the purposes of the map and to relay what I hope my nation to be here at the Western Isles. The government of Eserol is a semi-democratic nation with a Governor that is elected directly by the population at large and the legislature is made up of a nobility class (The House of the Second Estate) called The Delegation and a voted in assembly (The House of the Third Estate) called the Commune. The culture will be loosely based on the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia but primarily Lithuanian. I want to make it loosely based though not a copy of it. The citizens of Eserol will hold Libertarian views in general but all political ideas are present, and also are avid fisherman, prize a good education and are avid sports enthusiasts. The economy will be a market-based capitalist system.

My god I love the amount of Monarchies joining us recently

[Nassovia]

My god I love the amount of Monarchies joining us recently

So you'll love Nassovia. Nassovia is intended to be a small monarchy by the sea, much like Monaco, or better saying, halfway between Monaco and the Serenissima Reppublica di Venezia. I think about it as a Naval Powerhouse despite the limited portions of "continental" land, ruling some islands. Tentative locations arethe north of the continent and the isles in Argean Sea or the Mesder Sea, Northeast and East to Havalland, however I'm open to changes, anyways, considering the RP relations that can be developed. Its history predate a little the concept of the Italian/Dutch Aristocratic Republics before the nation turns a proper monarchy. Focus in Seafaring, Naval Trade and Sailing Competitions. Also I'm willing to have a part in TWI F1, so I'm pushing to make it work before January 27, if possible.

Nassovia is currently (and pro tempore) an Absolute Monarchy, since the elections planned for December 1-2 didn't happen yet, under the righteous but gentle hands of Her Majesty Queen Anna II of Nassovia, that looks a lot like Annabel Scholey in Medici: Masters of Florence (I was surprised by the similarity ). On this image, you can see her probably attending some reenactment of a Naval Battle, wearing period costume from the age of the Foundation of the Nation.

[Capitum]

The Republic of Capitum is a socially equal, strictly libertarian nation, where citizens are empowered to make their own decisions through direct democracy. We embrace freedom of choice in all aspects of life. Capitum taxes only income and at a low rate. All citizens are new to the area, coming by boat from mostly modern day America and Europe, or their TWI equivalents. The biggest allocations in the budget are for military and government subsidized auto manufacturing (cars, wheels, tires, body, metalworking, vehicle accessories-- all things cars), respectively. For the citizens, this is an at-your-own-discretion, don't-tell-me-how-to-live, respect-others'-rights society.

Looking to encompass a relatively small portion of the map, with at least one large port city to handle international trade and large cargo items. / Exports: all things farming, all things cars / Imports: Capitum is a self-sufficient nation but for the right price, nothing's off the table

You'll love the amount of absolute monarchies in the region, then.

[Galordia Minun]

So uhhh, funny story, I'm also an absolute monarchy. Hi I'm new.

Galordia Minun is a large absolute monarchy based (when outside of TWI canon) in current Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia Hungary and for some reason Austria. The queen, Queen Anastazjia IV, is believed to be descended from the Goddess Nebeska, meaning Sky-Mother or All-Mother. The queen, yes it is always a queen, uses the title Zeme, or Earth Mother.

I'm on my way back to that myself

Welcome to the region, mate. Where do you plan on applying for the map? I hope it's close. I love native religions to TWI.

[Sial]

Hi, I'm new to both NationStates and The Western Isles so I'm sorry if I take some time to figure out some stuff on here.
My IRL name is Choocky, but on here I'm Sial or TROS, I'm planning to play every 1-3 days or just whenever I can. I joined TWI because it seems like a fun place with experienced users who I can learn from. Again- I'm sorry if I take some time to figure stuff out here and I also hope that if anyone's able to, to maybe teach me some things that I need to know.
Thanks!

[Intelsia]

Hi there, I'm just getting started on both NS and this region. You can call me by my NS name, Intel, or koopy (which is my off NS name). I solely came here because I wanted to join a region with no offsite forum, because its a hassle, a nice community, a map not related to earth, and to roleplay. Besides that I enjoy being around nice members and other role-players. I'm active 7 days a week, Except on days where I'm going on vacation or needing a break, You can telegram me if you want to ally or just be friends. I also enjoy helping people that is just starting out on NS, even though I'm a starter myself. I hope i can meet lots of new people and friends here, and become a successful person here.

Oh, i almost forgot, if anybody is willing to tour me around this region so i can get to know it and the RP, i would much appreciate that.

And yes, my country is named after intel. I plan to use my other nation, obraitea, incase this nation isn't allowed due to its name having reference to an IRL corporation. If it is allowed please telegram me.

[Ardchu]

Hey, I’m kinda new to this, but I made a thing about the International Museum of Animal Culture going multiversal, to enclude ecosystems and non-human cultures from other countries not in Ardchu’s universe. I feel like it could be interesting. What I said to do if you wanted in was to either draw what your model thing would look like with labels and stuff, or describe it to me for me to draw. The model thing is like the miniature exhibits in Night at the Museum. The title is IMAC goes multiversal! so if your interested you can scroll
I know I can put urls here but I’m not in a place I can do that just yet
