LEAGUE OF ASIAN NATIONS (OPEN AND MAJOR WIP)

[Bohseon]

LEAGUE OF ASIAN NATIONS

<We are looking for an international flag/logo for the LAN! If interested, please telegram Bohseon!>

Who We are

The League of Asian Nations consists of exclusively East and South Asian direct, alternative, or inspired nations. Coming from diverse, yet similar and unified backgrounds and histories, the nations of LAN pursue to further preserve and collaborate on each nation's respective cultures and economies without the limitation of political barriers or military conflicts.

Our Mission

The League of Asian Nations work towards unifying the cultural and economic aspects of Asian nations. This means creating Asian banks, economic trade, economic collaboration of both private companies and government agencies, trusts, loans, and other endless economy-related unique actions. We also strive to create and preserve our great culture.

In the LAN, nations can collaborate on innovative technologies, explore and record information in fields of science such as space or natural environments, or introducing and showing off one's traditional language, music, customs, etc.

The only time military activity is related or present in LAN is when a LAN nation declares a state of emergency in a form of foreign aggression, invasion, or war. Nations are required to consider giving military aid, but are not required to take action. Peaceful alternative solutions are highly recommended. Aid in the form of material instead of military is a better and recommended solution.

Government Classification (Government type, not NS Classification): It is a hybrid government that evades classification of gaijin political scholarship. At the head of the state is the Emperor, having merely ceremonial role. The most important post is the Shogun, who is both de facto head of the state and of the government, overseeing executive branch - although with right to appoint his successor and ministers at will, his power is not absolute and is merely akin to that of US president. There are five branches of the government, examinative and auditive being added to the classical three.

The Nifonese parliament is tricameral, having one house representing the popular legitimacy and thus with universal suffrage, one house with hereditary membership of the nobility, and one where posts are awarded through the meritorious deeds.
What is your Asian nation based off or inspired by?: Shogunate Era Japan, Xunzi's confucianism, the thought of Three Pillars of Chinese Catholicism.

Full Name of Nation: Kingdom of the United Turtles, Mushrooms, and Men of TurtleShroom

What is your motive for joining the LAN? Cultural exchange and tourism promotion

Do you recognize other LAN nation's traditions and sovereignty as a nation? Yes

Are you willing to share one's cultural traditions? Yes

Do you agree not to bring the presence of one's military? Yes. We assume this means not to invade LAN members.

Are you interested maintaining a strong Asian trade alliance free from trade barriers and minimal foreign trade tariffs and taxes? Yes

Are you willing to trade with LAN nations REGARDLESS of their political structure? It depends on their attitudes towards capitalism, the Church, and non-Asians.

Are you interested in making a donation? TurtleShroom is willing to donate ten thousand barrels of oil to the LAN stockpile as a gesture of goodwill, and the equivalent of two hundred fifty million NSD/USD/Americalandese dollars.

Government Classification (Government type, not NS Classification): Theodemocratic constitutional monarchy (official), currently under military junta by coup d'etat

What is your nation based off or inspired by?

TurtleShroom is intended to be a mixture of my RL beliefs with humorous exaggerations of my beliefs, as well as some both idealistic and non-idealistic ideas. Since its initial inception in 2009 AD, TurtleShroom has grown from a simple premise of three sentient species (humans, turtles, and mushrooms) to a vastly complex and intricate government and society with a deep history and backstory.

Among other things, TS takes inspiration from:

• The Russian Empire, in political and social stratification and structure, as well as the nature of the voting populace
• The Confederate States of America, in cultural norms (outside of food)
• My previous works on older websites (particularly in how the government is set up)
• My own original ideas and creative work

---

TurtleShroom, historically, was founded by the Russian Empire as a place to banish Protestant heretics after the Time of Troubles in 1600 AD. Joined by Anglo-Saxxon Baptists, the colonists travelled inward in the Region and discovered the sentient non-human population, sharing the Gospel with them and winning them over. The nation unified in 1796 AD after the two indigneous Khanates crowned Jones Found, an Ukranian Orthodox monk, as the Khagan of Turtles Mushroom. He abdicated his throne to the Protestant supermajority, drafted a constitution, appointed the first Kings of TurtleShroom, and vanished without a trace.

You may be asking: why is a nation dominated by Slavic whites and non-humans interested in a League of Asian Nations?

There are many reasons.

First, prior to 1550 AD, the human population in TurtleShroom was wholly Asian. Mongoloid invaders stormed the country and enslaved the non-humans in the early 1200s AD. They imprinted Mongolian (therefore Asian) culture, language, customs, and political structure on the non-humans, as well as introducing the Tengri religion, a definitively Asian faith which still exists in TurtleShroom today. These Mongoloid humans were killed off by a combination of disease, bad weather, and non-human uprisings in 1550 AD, leading to a fifty or so year period without humans in the area. Without humans to enslave them, the non-humans set up Khanates of their own, in the Mongolian style.

Secondly, one third of TurtleShroom's human population is of Asian descent. The primary Asian demographics are Tsao and Japanese (from Greater Evil Imperial Japanese Dystopia), with other Asians from GEIJD holdings.

Third, TurtleShroom has been a member of all-Asian alliances in the past. TurtleShroom was in the Steele Pact and Dragon's Fury Pact, as well as being a trade member of the Japanese Dystopian People's Huangudist Pan-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.

---

The cultural oppurtunities and tourism boosts are limitless. TurtleShroomian culture has always been at home in the Asian settings of conservatism, family and ancestral loyalty, and rigid traditionalism. TurtleShroom would love to be a part of such a noble endeavor as the LAN. We have an abundance of weaponry and resources that we can present to the LAN if needed, including military aid.

What is your motive for joining the LAN? Well, it seemed interesting, and East Asia is primarily Asian (as the name would imply).

Culture
Do you recognize other LAN nation's traditions and sovereignty as a nation? Yes.
Are you willing to share one's cultural traditions? Of course, although many would find East Asia's often incredibly liberal standpoints somewhat discerning. Cultural revolution is a thing here, and has been going on (the 3rd just ended).
Do you agree not to bring the presence of one's military? (This DOES NOT include military police) It depends on whether or not other nations are doing so as well. Do note that East Asia's military police is basically equipped in the same manner as the military.

Economy
Are you interested maintaining a strong Asian trade alliance free from trade barriers and minimal foreign trade tariffs and taxes? Possibly, although this is questionable. We are somewhat wary of capitalist intrusion into our economy.
Are you willing to trade with LAN nations REGARDLESS of their political structure? Possibly. WE for one, however, will be incredibly wary of right wing nations .
Are you interested in making a donation? (If so, please redirect to the donation application after the membership application is submitted We will donate $50 billion NSD upon entering the LAN.

Housekeeping Statistics
Government Classification (Government type, not NS Classification): East Asia is in all definitions a one-party communist dictatorship, although there is an elected worker's congress of representatives and a sizable "opposition" (misc. socialists, a few capitalists). The nation is highly federalized, mainly due to the many ethnicities the UASR (Union of Asian Socialist Republics) contains, with individual SRs (Socialist republics) having a considerable amount of power when it comes to decision making.

What is your Asian nation based off or inspired by? Partially off of Maoist China, along with a bit of the USSR and 1984's EastAsia. With plenty of technocratic and scientific elements as well. Also includes plenty of FUSION and nuclear energy (as I'm a huge fan of nuclear power), along with quantum computers and free wifi.

(Note: TurtleShroom is not on a RL continent.)

Although you claim that "TurtleShroomian culture has always been at home in the Asian settings"
Your factbook contradicts that claim saying;
"TurtleShroom is a nation with the culture of the Southeastern USA and the political and social structure of Russia (both Imperial and post-Soviet, but never the USSR). TurtleShroomers, like most Slavic-influenced people, expect strongmen and willingly elect those who exercise hard power (think kinder, gentler, more lazziez-faire mini-Putins)."
CURRENTLY, your nation is barely asian influenced. Although your other past experience looks VERY promising indeed, but unfortunately, it's too much to fit in the alliance.

Until further more information, I'll have to deny your application
Sorry

I guess I wasn't specific enough. TurtleShroom's culture is very similar to the Southeastern USA, and its political system and socio-political culture is that of Imperial Russia, but it is in no way a copy of either of those. TurtleShroom is an unique culture of its own accord.

When I said that "TurtleShroomian culture has always been at home in Asian settings", I meant that the values and culture of TurtleShroom line up with the values of many Asian states. TurtleShroom has been in multiple Asian alliances (run by the Greater Imperial Japanese Dystopia, a definitively Asian nation which ruled most of its Region).
TurtleShroom, like any nation with a diverse population, enjoys cultural intermingling and enrichment from its Asian populace.

TS has had an Asian ruler and their highest ranking lawyer in the Prohibition courts is Asian. TurtleShroom's human population is one-third Asian. That is nearly three hundred million Asian humans in the country. Its military top brass are dominated by Tsao Asians.

---

As I explained in the application, the first humans in TurtleShroom were Asian Mongols, who left a permanent impact on TurtleShroom. Before the 1600s AD, TurtleShroom, the non-humans spoke Mongolian, worshipped the Asiastic sky god of Tengri, and had societal structure akin to that of the Mongols in every facet.

In addition, as I wrote earlier, TurtleShroom has long maintained close ties to Asian nations and was a full member of a varient of the Japanese Pan-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, which technically had similar requirements to LAN.

TurtleShroom does much of its business with Asian nations and would be a valuable addition to any Asian pact. TS has more Asians than some Asian countries have. (Not to mention, that Russia is an Asian country, spanning across the entire Asian continent and even controlling portions of Manchuria.)

[Daeseong]

When I said that "TurtleShroomian culture has always been at home in Asian settings", I meant that the values and culture of TurtleShroom line up with the values of many Asian states.

Though I'm not a Lyotardian cultural relativist by any means, this literally contradicts what you just said. Southeastern US. culture does not typically line up with any variant of Asian cultures. Granted, Asia is vastly diverse, but I cannot think of a single culture in Asia that shares many values as the deep south.

TS has had an Asian ruler

So has Peru. Does not quality Peru for membership in Asian Institutions.

TurtleShroom's human population is one-third Asian. That is nearly three hundred million Asian humans in the country.

Around a fourth of India's population is Muslim, and India has easily the 2nd? largest Islamic population in the world. Yet, few regard India as a "Muslim" country.

As I explained in the application, the first humans in TurtleShroom were Asian Mongols, who left a permanent impact on TurtleShroom. Before the 1600s AD, TurtleShroom, the non-humans spoke Mongolian, worshipped the Asiastic sky god of Tengri, and had societal structure akin to that of the Mongols in every facet.

Historically, Anatolian Turks, Bulgars, and Maygars also worshipped Tengri. I don't believe Turkey, Bulgaria or Hungary are considered Asiatic states to any extent.

In addition, as I wrote earlier, TurtleShroom has long maintained close ties to Asian nations and was a full member of a varient of the Japanese Pan-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, which technically had similar requirements to LAN.

The United States maintains very close ties with Asian nations. This does not make the United States an Asian country. Also GIDP was a semi-insulting rendition of Japanese culture.

TurtleShroom does much of its business with Asian nations and would be a valuable addition to any Asian pact. TS has more Asians than some Asian countries have. (Not to mention, that Russia is an Asian country, spanning across the entire Asian continent and even controlling portions of Manchuria.)

Russia is geographically located in Asia and seeks membership solely based on that criteria. This is different, given that Asia doesn't even exist on the NSverse. And to this length, the OP specifically states its criteria, all of which your nation does not meet. You are clearly not a full-on alternate history, are based on the deep south more so than you're based on Asia, inhabit a region with a Nordic name? and have nothing but a passable Asian influence.

I may lodge an application at some time. I'm not sure if I should apply, mostly because my nation exists in a closed-world vacuum, but I have been considering co-existing in both.

I might consider an app with this puppet...might. I like the idea. A bit sad though, I've been meaning to work on or change to a WWI-era Ottoman Empire nation, but....eh.

Anyways, I'm interested in this idea.
