Form of Government: Absolute monarchy
National Leader(s): Emperor Oqlashi III
Population (Please remember our realism guidelines): 4,918,186
Estimated GDP: $2.002 billion (N$D)
Description of National Culture: The Itelviqq are a reclusive people. They are very set in their beliefs, with compromise being frowned upon, leading to the numerous civil wars throughout their history. They are also very traditionalist, not allowing many more progressive ideas to pass; arranged marriages are still common. The food is fairly uniform, with not many choices in a tundra archipelago.
Climate and Geography: Itelviqq is made up of over 2,000 islands, ranging from several hundred kilometres in size to only a few metres. The coasts are rocky and often made up of cliffs, with most exceptions being used for cities. The temperature is fairly standard throughout the year, rarely changing from the standard 0 degrees to 5 degrees Celsius.
National History: Itelviqq was only inhabited in about 1700, by Itelvians prosecuted in their previous home. With the exception of the first government, which was a democracy and only lasted a few months, Itelviqq has always been an absolute monarchy. The monarch changed much throughout history, as nobles wrestled for power. Itelviqq's history is riddled with civil wars; only about 41 years were without one, and there are currently several unrelated ones.
Description of National Economy (Major sectors, development, etc.): Itelviqq's economy is impotent and irrelevant in the international scene for the most part; however, it is one of the most popular places for ship registration, however, and its status of a flag of convenience is what makes sure the economy doesn't collapse.
Description of National Military (Please remember our realism guidelines): Itelviqq's military is puny. It is underfunded, underequipped, and normally splintered between whichever factions are fighting a civil war. It has about 180,000 people in total, although each warring faction controls a different portion of them.
Description of Geopolitical Role: Think Syria, but colder.
Roleplaying Example or Link (Please provide at least three paragraphs): Could I use a story I wrote recently? I haven't done any RPing in months, and I've developed a lot in that time...
Notes and Questions: N/A
What made you choose Pericles? Some of my friends and people who I generally think of as being 'good' are here.
Please list any active alts or puppets you may control: I've got New Kvenland, but that's it (I know it has Itelviqq in its application to Miyane, but I was going to change that )
Have you ever controlled a nation that was deleted for poor conduct: No.
Have you read and understood the guidelines on our OP: Yes.
Your estimated GDP for a nation of your population size is very very high. With these stats, your GDP/c would be approximately 407,060. Would you mind adjusting stats a bit?
EDIT: I'm not certain if you mean 2002 Billion or 2.002 Billion. If the latter case is true, then your GDP/c is actually very small. I'm not sure if that's by design.
It's meant to be $2.002 billion. And yes, it's very small - I intend Itelviqq to be a hellhole of a nation constantly on the brink of collapse, only still existing because of oil money.
