LONG-ANSWER QUESTIONS
For this section, please provide at least a paragraph for each. You may provide a link to a previous piece of writing in lieu of a writing sample.
Please describe your nation. Pohjoinen maa is a nation located on the Coast of the Sea of Njord, located West of Heria and East of Swastria, Pohjoinen maa is a Unitary Parliamentary Republic, with a small population but large timber sector. Pohjoinen maa in question was established following a decade long process of ''Unification'', of which was the unification of several nations along the Coast and farther inland. The nation that was established was known as the Northern land, or Pohjoinen maa. Despite a small population, Pohjoinen maa has a GDP Per Capita of $64,423.76, furthermore the population of Pahjoinen maa stands at 6,985,000, with it expected to reach 7,000,000 within the next decade. Despite a small population, the Government of Pohjoinen maa maintains a policy of Conscription, in order to fulfill the military doctrine of ''Total Defense'' or in other regards, Total War, which aims to deter any foreign threat from invading the country in the first place. Despite a small portion of the Armed Forces being in active service, the Pohjoinen maa Reserves are significant, with over 650,000 in the Reserve Pool. One of the largest and most traditional sectors, the TImber sector has been present for nearly two centuries, with the need of wood being needed for things such as cabins and now tools with wooden handles and etc.
Please provide a writing sample (recommended types: roleplay post, wiki article or news article). Dubbed the ''Pudasviisa'' Doctrine, the Pohjoinen maa adopted the Doctrine in the Late 50s as the standard doctrine of Defense, which in question maintains a three tiered defensive line system to hold against any foreign invasion. Through actions of delaying the invader, Reservists would have enough time to deploy and take positions at the Second and Third tier defensive lines, making an advance and attack on the Capital even more difficult. However, by the late 80s the Pohjoinen maa General Staff questioned the feasibility of the Doctrine, and adopted the newer and more adaptive Pudasviisa II Doctrine, which maintained a policy of Adaptive Counter-Attacks, and when need be, to retreat to acquire a more beneficial combat position.
