Regional Map

Some notes:

1. You should not necessarily expect the first draft of your application to be final for your nation, it is likely that some changes will have to be made so your nation can fit better within the region.

2. The light grey 'nations' on the map are merely the nations that are 'assumed' to exist there when the land is not claimed. You are not required by any means to make your claim fit those 'nations', and are infact encouraged to create a map claim that is different from the haphazard, not well thought out pseudo-borders.

3. Previously we have had some issues with map space. Just note that your strength is not based on your size, and while the claim in my example application below might not look massive on the map, that is what would be considered a large claim.

General Information

Nation Name: United Kingdom of Dolphiland
National Demonym: Dolphik
Capital City: Dolphonburg

Map Claim: https://i.imgur.com/CxrCUF7.png

Short Description of National History: It's highly WIP, but basically, the Kingdom of Dol, an early predecessor of Dolphiland, begins in Western Traestan*, which spread across the sea into Dolphiland, and eventually became the Doltanic Empire, which dominated northern Andolia* and western Xackylvania*, which eventually collapsed due to wars with neighbouring empires and internal societal failure, Dolphiland then proceeded to be fought over by medieval kings for the next few centuries, before being re-unified (well, the eastern half anyway), sometime during the middle middle ages, it then proceeded to sit around and doing medieval regional powers things for the next few centuries until the middle ages ended and the Renaissance (or it's Kerbin equivelant) began, at which point it entered into a Personal Union with Sköttland sometime during the 1500s, Dolphiland then proceeded to build a colonial empire, before being hit by the Dolphik Civil War in the 1680s, during which it briefly became a republic before finally settling on a constitutional monarchy,. It then proceeded to officially annex Sköttland in the early 1700s, and added the Sköttish chevron to it's flag, before then losing most of it's overseas empire in a series of revolutions during the late 1700s/early 1800s, although it did manage to retain control of a few scattered islands, ports, and small colonies, it nonetheless remained one of the leading world powers during the rest of the 19th century, before suffering a period of instability during the early 20th century, and from there I'm going to wait and see what the overall course of events in the 20th century in this Kerbin incarnation was before deciding what Dolphiland's role in these events was.

Kerbin Application

General Information

Common Name: The United States of Kerthenia (most common), Kerthenian Congressional Republic (less common)
Official Name: The Congressional Republic of the United States of Kerthenia and Ithaka
National Demonym: Kerthenian
Capital City: Jebston, Cerima
Map Claim: Basically my current one in KC, but with the state of Dogenuttera very marginally grown to make it less ugly.

Short Description of National History: Kerthenia is a merger of three cultures: the descendants of the great ancient civilizations of Ithaka in the West and in the East, the renegade former colonies of Dolphiland along with the remnants of the Imik-miu native culture. Breaking away from Dolphiland in 1781 as a shaky alliance between the oppressed Ithakan and Imik-miu natives and disgruntled Dolphik colonists, the newly-founded republic was an experiment in freedom and fought a bloody, violent, and protracted revolution against the occupying royal authority. The Ithakan isles and the former colonial states consolidated into a nation after winning their independence, and though the relationship between East and West did not fully stabilize and the cultures did not truly integrate until the 1920's, the nation nonetheless went on to become a global powerhouse and a force for freedom (or at least their specific brand of it) throughout the world.

Government

Government Type: Federal Constitutional Congressional Republic
Head of State/Head of Government: President Vincent Davenport
Body of Government with Greatest Power: Congress

Economy

GDP: $18.4 Trillion
GDP per capita: $56,121.36 [Note: I kept the GDP, but raised the population so as to lower the per-capita GDP]
Economic System: Free-Market Capitalism
Currency Name: Kerthenian Obol (OBL/Δ̷)
Conversion rate into NSD: The Obol does not have an exchange rate to NSD yet, but it is 1:1 to the US Dollar because that's easy for me

Demographics and Culture

Population: 327,860,900

Official Language: Kerthenian Dolphik
List Regional Languages: Ithakan, Imik-miu
National/State religion?: N/A, the Constitution codifies that the USK shall not establish a state religion.

Short Description of Culture: Kerthenian culture is most influenced by that of the United States, but it draws heavy influence from Greece and Australia, with lesser influence on Ithaka by ancient Phoenician and Polynesian culture. The native Imik-miu culture is a blend of many, but its language is based on Inuit.

Nation Name: The Republic of Iblania
National Demonym: Iblanian
Capital City: Potantius

Map Claim: Preferably the same place as before, or slightly different, as seen on this map https://i.imgur.com/bie3TVr.png

Short Description of National History: The region of Iblania is cold and mountainous. Before ~1600, the area was only occupied by a few native tribes and some scattered colonies. But in 1609, the famous Maypedley Expedition discovered large reserves of iron ore in the Wistaren mountain range. Most of the incoming settlers were from independent companies, and as a result, no single nation claimed Iblania - regardless, most nations were uninterested in the faraway mountain territory. Around 1658, the growing city of Potantius declared a new nation, and nearby towns quickly joined in, hoping for easier overseas trade. A large group of Potantius' citizens had originated from a dictatorial kingdom overseas, and as a result, they heavily promoted democracy in the new country. Early on in Iblanian history (~1700), there were several repetitive, bloody conflicts with the natives of the Concordia mountains. The resulting disgust and international reaction to these massacres caused the nation to adopt a pacifistic ideal which has survived to this day. Slowly, a network of small forestry and iron-mining towns spread over the lower parts of the nation, though the mountainous north remained mostly empty. Around 1810, the city of Burton experienced great growth, just barely surpassing Potantius in population. In the 1940s, major reserves of uranium were discovered. Later, around 1950 in a series of upset elections, the Council and government became increasingly aggressive and almost militant. The nuclear program in particular was greatly expanded, in an attempt to gain international respect. The government was deregulated, allowing some corporations to gain significant power and wealth that persists even today. This all culminated in a short small-scale war in the late 1960s, which effectively ended in stalemate. Afterwards, the nation mostly reverted to a pacifistic attitude. The Council building, long outdated and now slightly damaged in the war, was moved to a new location and rebuilt, in an attempt to demonstrate the new "reformed" Iblanian society.

Map Claim: https://i.imgur.com/0RK0VG3.png

Short Description of National History: The Jinruan people most likely came from the proto-Kerbs in Traestan and settled next to lake Tianhu. The Yinshan kingdom fought against the Puakhta, Dhagar, and Alka kingdoms fought against each other constantly during the ancient and medieval ages. In 1028, the Yinshan Empire finally defeated the last of the other kingdoms and united the region. In 1879, a military coup overthrew Emperor Sakha in a succession crisis and installed Heavenly Emperor Rudong as the head of state while the military also formed a theocratic autocratic government. The 1910's and the 1920's saw a wave of radical and democratic rebellions, but the theocracy remained intact. The government moved on to be an oligarchy in the 1980's after a power struggle between politicians and generals. In 2001, Emperor Tianlong removed power from the oligarchy as they were seen as ineffective in governing the nation. His son, Xiaolang, is hier to the throne and is known to have a short temper...

Alka culture is tge second most influential culture/the most developed and is based off of Tuvan, Altai, Mongol, Buryat, and other Southern Siberian cultures. Pakhatan culture is the third most influential and is based off of Himalayan and Southern Chinese cultures. Other minor unamed ethnic groups based off of Northern Siberians, Manchus, other Tungustics, and the Hui exist.

General Information

Nation Name: AFoB (Anarchist Federation of Barkadia)
National Demonym: Barkadian
Capital City: Corticis

Map Claim: (sorry that it's big)

Short Description of National History: The many tribes of the south finally decided to unite into one kingdom in 1732. It became a short lived absolute monarchy. After the liberalization of many powers, the monarch at the time allowed a parliament to be formed. Seeking to expand its wealth and size, the parliament approved the first expeditions north in 1847. Several clashes were fought with the remaining natives who did not emigrate to the kingdom. By 1877, the first explorers reached the ice caps of the far north. By 1902, the Barkadia known today was recognized with the last expeditions to the northeast. Cities and infrastructure began to be established in the north regions. The most north and coldest city, Acus, was established in 1927. The war with the natives continued for several decades. Many died on both sides. Attacks on Acus were almost regular. In 1972, both sides declared the war over, with natives gaining equal rights, representation, and forgiveness. There were other troubles, however. Ever since modern anarchism was thought up by a philosopher still unknown to this day in 1846, radicalism spiked in popularity. Many Barkadians called themselves anarchist. In 2005, after the parliament was exposed for rigging votes in certain parties' favors, the many staged a bloodless revolution. The monarch and the majority of the parliament fled east out of the country, into the unknown. Over the next 12 years, Barkadian society was reconstructed into a libertarian socialist one. Anarchism is popular with almost every household. Exploitation is no more. But can Barkadia stay this way, or succumb to reactionaries?

Map Claim:

Short Description of National History:The Official Government of The Marachnie Islands started about 120 years ago, when most of the federal groups of tribes started to band together, to form a more civilized, organized government. But, the real governing started 80 years prior, where the federal groups started to band together, you could call them alliances, but they all had small village capitols. They were formed of usually 5 to 6 groups of different tribes, who were all willing to put aside their differences. Since then, since 1946, a new parliament was formed, and the Chief lost most of his power, but still remained commander-in-chief.

Short Description of National History: Anderia's history begins with the unification of the Aаndic Tribes as a vassal of the Veznyev Empire, where they adopted Orthodoxy and many aspects of Veznyev Culture. When the Veznyev Empire began to crumble, the Tsardom of Anderia took their place. The Tsardom would exist in many forms throughout the centuries, however a series of revolutions against the monarchy from the 1700s onwards left a broken society ready to be reformed by a new force. That force was Stalinism, which eventually resulted in the new "Red Tsars" being overthrown in another revolution, which birthed Anderia in it's modern form.

General Information

Common Name: The United States of Kerthenia (most common), Kerthenian Congressional Republic (less common)
Official Name: The Congressional Republic of the United States of Kerthenia and Ithaka
National Demonym: Kerthenian
Capital City: Jebston, Cerima
Map Claim: Basically my current one in KC, but with the state of Dogenuttera very marginally grown to make it less ugly.

Short Description of National History: Kerthenia is a merger of two cultures: the descendants of the great ancient civilizations of Ithaka in the West and in the East, the renegade former colonies of Dolphiland. Breaking away from Dolphiland in 1781 as a shaky alliance between the oppressed Ithakan natives and disgruntled Dolphik colonists, the newly-founded republic was an experiment in freedom and fought a bloody revolution against the occupying royal authority. The Ithakan isles and the former colonial states consolidated into a nation after winning their independence, and though the relationship between East and West did not fully stabilize and the cultures did not truly integrate until the 1920's, the nation nonetheless went on to become a global powerhouse and a force for freedom (or at least their specific brand of it) throughout the world.

Short Description of Nation: Cadenza is a weak nation when it comes to military capabilities, however, is known for pioneering tech that is later bought and converted into military technologies. Since Cadenza doesn't like to wage war or spend all of their money maintaining huge militaries, they have significantly more to put into their research sector.

General Information

Nation Name: The Constitutional Republic of Qusmos
National Demonym: Qusmosi
Capital City: Auriteaux

Map Claim: South of my old claim, bordering Kerthenia.

Short Description of National History: Qusmos was originally a colony of Dolphiland established in the mid-1500s. After the Kerthenian revolution, Dolphiland lost control of many of its colonies, including Qusmos. However, contrary to Kerthenian values, Qusmos developed a far more mixed economy. This was due to stronger shared Dolphik culture as well as greater population density causing a stronger collective unity. This unity caused a stronger desire for welfare in society and causing the establishment of a highly mixed economy. After the fledgling direct democracy, which was formed after the release of the Qusmosi colony, showed an inability to pass legislation, a new concept for government was decided upon to ensure representation of as many views as possible while also streamlining the legislative process. Art in general is highly valued for the varied messages and interpretations it carries, but many citizens respect rather than admire most art.

Official Language: Qusmosi-Dolphik

Short Description of Culture: Qusmos prioritizes and values highereducation as a liberal republic. This means that intelligence is respected, and jobs in engineering industries are highly sought after because they are viewed as requiring high intelligence. Acceptance of minorities is commonplace due to the culture of camaraderie caused by the population density of the nation. Censorship is highly frowned upon in many cases, and civic participation in voting and other forms of civic responsibilities is common(Culture is drawn from many Nordic nations as well as France).
