Previous post from Solarin is to be considered non-canon, as neither nation is on the map and accepting such canon would be a clear breach of map rules.

[Republic of Azea]

Azea here, I'm looking to RP as a nation inspired by the eastern and southern United States. Particularly the southeast. My nation has a long history and I hope to elaborate on it through RP and factbooks!

[The New Utopian Confederacy]

Hey there,
Just writing to prove that I can post on the forums
Hope this is what's needed

[Timatanga ho]

Ellasir, Welcome to Turrisia!

A left leaning democracy where equality and good living standards are top priority. Come and visit to see the beautiful city of Ugöikusai, the city of a million clouds. You’ll never run out of things to do here, come and explore for yourself.

[Labodiastan]

[EverythingIsALie]

Nations of NationStates,

EverythingIsALie is a newly found Commonwealth democracy, looking for ally nations. We believe:

1. Money is restricting and frankly should not have been created, but at the same time is essential to democracy. This means that we strive to create a world in which people may live in harmony with as little money required as possible

2. World peace rather than world dominion is the answer

We request allies (NOT followers; everyone is equal under our law)

[Democratic Republic of Treyland]

Hi, my nation recently canceled the autocracy policy. So I’m interested in roleplaying some kind of political discourse between 2 major political parties. Anybody interested?

[Rehaajl]

I have been working on a big empire with lots of county's in a alliance that's starting to fall and cause war.

More Details:
You can still be any type of county you want, but you start with communism and slowly drift away. (It's going to be called The Communist Countries Of The Western Isles (CCTWI))
I want the county's to form treaties, wars, and trade routes.
It would work better if a least 5 county's join.
You can only join if you have a map spot on The Western Isles.

[Oztotl]

How did you hear about The Western Isles?
Solaryia sent me a TG when I joined nationstates. Solaryia was also the only representative of any region to reply to any of my questions.

What's some information about yourself (hobbies, interests, country, etc.)?
I live in Iowa. I enjoy reading, writing, and watching fantasy and sci-fi. Play TTRPGs (mainly Pathfinder 1e). Do some PC gaming and board games.

What kind of nation are you trying to make?
One that takes care of its citizens and environment while allowing citizens their personal freedom. Oztotl is a nation of sophisticated (if relatively primitive) jungle cave-dwellers only recently discovered by the rest of the world. The nation is adapting quickly to the modern world, jumping straight from its iron age to embrace modern innovations in technology, healthcare, and education.

[Khe Teyaca]

Khe Teyaca is a rapidly developing nation, formerly incredibly reliant on oil and its derivative products as well as a large amount of agriculture, with a significant corrupt streak that shackled the nation down historically. Over the last two decades or so the new administration has been making huge progressive strides to clean up the nation's image and diversify its economy to attract foreign investment

[Norrs]

Norr is a semi-constitutional monarchy that is proposed to be put between the states of Nhoor and Belantica on the island of Raedlon. The monarchy serves as an executive branch, whilst Alþingi and the Grand Court serve as the legislative and judicial branches, respectively.

The industries are primarily aerospace manufacture, automotive manufacture, locomotive manufacture, refined/manufactured goods, limited raw goods (such as iron, copper, titanium), and tourism.

As for history, Norrs history is something I'd like to figure out after I've been placed on the map (if that occurs), as doing it without coordination with my neighbors would be rude imo.

Norr's government, as stated before, is centered around the monarchy and Alþingi.

The Monarchial succession is conducted via Matrilineal Primogeniture, or eldest female child. Upon ascending to the throne, the Monarch receives the title of "Queen" (or King if the monarch is male), as well as the titles attached. The Queen (or King) is responsible for most executive decisions, or for delegating the decisions to one of her Officers.

As of 2022, there are 10 offices, listed in order of creation they are;

• Ministry of State
• Ministry of the Interior
• Ministry of Defense (War at Founding)
  • Office of the Army
  • Office of the Navy
    • Office of the Naval Infantry
  • Office of the Air Force
  • Office of the Astral Forces
• Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• Ministry of Agriculture
• Ministry of Justice
• Ministry of Culture
• Ministry of the Sciences
• Ministry of Infrastructure
• Ministry of Energy
• Ministry of Finance
• Ministry of the Exterior (defunct since 2003)
• Ministry of Aerospace Research and Development

The Minister of State is responsible for managing the the other Offices as ordered by the Monarchy.

The Alþingi, or Parliament, is the legislative arm of Her Majesty's Government. It is responsible for passing all laws, which are then executed by Her Majesty's Offices. The Alþingi is made up of two floors, the Hús Höfuðsins ("House of Heads"), and the Öldungadeild ("Senate").

The Hús Höfuðsins serves as the Alþingi's upper house or upper floor, who's word is required to pass any form of legislation. It is comprised of the various duchies and lordships of Norr, meaning the size of the Hús Höfuðsins varies from time to time.

The Öldungadeild is comprised of elected officials, of which two are elected for each province. Unlike the Hús Höfuðsins, the Öldungadeild's approval is only required for Amendments and Major Laws. The Öldungadeild's officials, Þingmaður Öldungadeildar (ÞÖ), are elected every 4 years, which the "Upper class", of which there is one from every province, being elected 2 years prior to the "Lower class".

The judicial arm of Her Majesty's Government is the Stórréttur ("Grand Court"). The Stórréttur is comprised of 7 justices, elected by a council of royal courts across the country for life. The Executive and Legislative arms have no say in the composition of the Stórréttur, only the Rauði dómstóllinn ("Red Court").

The Red Commonwealth Forces (Rauðar Samveldissveitir) are the military forces of Norr, which enjoy the benefits of Norr's vehicle manufacturing economy. As a result, a lot of the Commonwealth Forces' equipment is domestic, with the exception of some outliers.

The Red Commonwealth Army, typically just called the Commonwealth Army, is sizeable but not too large, and utilizes an artillery-centric doctrine. Due to this, a lot of time and resources have been put into creating effective missile artillery systems along with normal ballistic artillery. The Army is further divided into the Red Commonwealth Army proper, Red Army Air Regiment, and the Militia Forces. The Army Proper and Air Regiments, like most of the Commonwealth Forces, utilize a uniform structure and equipment, whilst the Militia Forces are made up of civilian-made militias. The creation of a Militia requires proper licensing, approval, and oversight from the Ministry of Defense.

The Red Commonwealth Navy is a specialized green-water force with blue-water characteristics. Operating primarily destroyers, it uses its navy both for guarding its coast and for peacekeeping in the greater Mesder Sea area. The Red Commonwealth Navy also fields two Helicopter Destroyers, which allow the use of VTOL aircraft as well as helicopters. Additionally, the Red Commonwealth Navy is split similarly to the Red Commonwealth Army, with the Red Navy itself, Submarine Force, Fleet Air Arm, and the Militia Navy. The Militia Navy is primarily comprised of private civilian vessels that have signed up to perform search and rescue duties as well as requisition in the event of a war. Typically, these ships are able to be mounted with some sort of firearm if they are to be requisitioned by the Navy.

The Red Commonwealth Air Force and Astral Force are kind of one in the same. The RCAF utilizes aircraft that can be operated from airbases, hidden or otherwise, as well as highways, roads, and other unorthodox launch points. As a part of this, a lot of RCAF aircraft are able to be easily deconstructed, discretely transported by rail or road, and rebuilt. The RCAF is also paired with the Red Civilian Air Corps (RCAC), a very small "aerial militia" of private pilots who've signed up to provide reconnaissance and search efforts in the event that the air force requires them.

The Astral Force is the newest branch, and the only one that doesn't have a civilian militia. They are responsible for all operations dealing with space, including military satellites, satellite interception, and monitoring. Since 2021, they've also been responsible for planning and securing launches by the Ministry of Aerospace Research and Development as well as providing military security to MARD launch facilities.

Most of Norr's energy is provided by Nuclear Power or fossil fuels, with a minority of it being provided by solar and hydroelectric power. Norr utilizes two nuclear powerplants to provide power to around 75% of its population, with fossil fuels providing 15% of its power, and renewable energy providing the remainder. Norr's Ministry of Energy plans to build another powerplant to retire the remaining fossil fuel plants.

The Ministry of Aerospace Research and Development (MARD), is primarily responsible for space exploration, akin to Altera's ANSA. While not as large, it is responsible for the launch of most of Norr's missions in space.

[Furyland]

Hi,

I just started this game and joined the Western Isles.
My Idea is to set up a very free and liberal country but also protecting the enviroment. Social-security is very importent while actual security (e.g. military) isnt.
The goal is not to be as rich or influential as possible but to have pleased citicen who live a long and happy life on the green island of Furyland.

The most important foreign politiacal idea is to get a strong ally which garantees us freedom as the Furlandian Army is non existent.

[Aldatora]

Hi there! Aldatora here.

I'm not really certain which direction I'd like to take my nation in at this point. But I'd really appreciate some ideas or suggestions!

It's nice to meet you all!

Thanks!

Thanks!

You could take inspiration from the many members of TWI on the map. We have many different types of governments in TWI from liberal democracies, to monarchies, to dictatorships, to oligarchies. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I am sure there will be someone there to help.

Sounds like a very interesting idea! You might need to overthink the idea of not having an army though unless you want to leave your nation defenseless, which, for the sake of reality, wouldnt be very likely. Having a strong ally however is still something important. In that case I would direct you towards the many different alliances we have throughout TWI.

Ciao!

[Na Cealla Beaga]

Hello

Na Cealla Beaga will be a country which was first founded by travelling monks over 1000 years ago, due to this the country has a strong religious belief(Catholicism) system. Military service is very important and a lot of money is invested in the defence of the country.
The goal of the country will be to spread Catholicism throughout the world while also being the hub for pilgrims from far and wide.
Na Cealla Beaga will also value the environment and greenery of their lands.

[Geristokia]

The USSG will (hopefully) be a country, located in the Western Islands,standing out with a great fishing based Economy and a powerful military,both beeing well funded by the government. The socialist Country will be holding out of major conflicts,but'll always be ready to open trade routes,even with its biggest enemy.

[Azataria]

When it comes to Azataria, it's government makes many enemies. On purpose so that it can fuel it's massive propaganda efforts. It is an industrialized militaristic nation with a large tourism industry locked to the better looking cities that have more freedom by the coast. The nation is a large one located in the Western Isles on the island of Gael.
1. I'm looking for allies with a similar ideological ideas.
2. Looking for enemies in general, mostly ones with similar levels of power.
3. Looking to go to war with someone over a territorial dispute.

[Michelsoen]

Hello i am a new nation and just wanted to say hello and proof that i can write on the Forums i hope for a great time!

[Imago]

I'm new and just want to build relations with other nations for now. I'm not on the map yet, so I'm posting for that, but once I am, I'll try to befriend my neighbors.
