OOC: I rushed this but i kind of feel like i went too much into detail.
IC nation name: Ulainesia

Ethnic Group(s): Predominately Ulai (genetically comparable to the real world Tibeto-Burmese ethnicity), with a sizeable migrant and indigenous population.

Brief background of nation (or IIWiki): The Savaian nation of Ulainesia was re-unified after a lengthy and bloody war for independence that saw the nation split East to West in a lengthy war of opposing ideology and influence from surrounding major world powers. The ancient Ulai civilization has occupied the Sa river basin for centuries.
The nation is emerging and is attempting to assert itself as a major regional player. The nation is strongly opposed to membership and influence by the CDN and maintains no proper relations with any of it's constituents and prides itself on at least "appearing" self sufficient. According to the "Supreme Guide" (The first 3 volumes of a book written by a female prophet, Susa) , the ultimate destiny of the Ulai nation is to be the religious center of the world and the Ulai people have been empowered by Susa herself. All other forms of religion are tolerated but "Invalid".
Map claim (Imgur):
Geography and climate of nation: A Mountainous, non arable upper region with a major river basin (Sa) that drains into the ocean in the south. Climate is tropical. Deforestation due to the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization is an ongoing issue
How will your nation fit within the existing regional power structure? (strengths/weaknesses): The nation is undergoing economic growth and the current government is keen on improving the national infrastructure. The country is heavily urbanized and the amount of arable land is less than 30 percent, as a result, imports are heavily relied on. The civil rights of the individual Ulai are relatively high. Tourism is a major industry, however, Ulainesia is a major place of origin for the illicit sex trafficking and weapons/drug trade. The national police are reckless and corrupt and can have been known to extort Western-looking foreigners.
The internal politics are equally corrupt and the country has been ruled for the past 40 years by a secretive administrator who has made no public statements or appearances. Border surveillance is high and drastic police measures are taken to counter dissent. The foreign policy is aloof and the country aims to remain non-aligned. Areas of land borders are heavily militarized certain air traffic is monitored by a mostly under-construction multi band radar network; whether the systems are completely operational is another question. In the armed forces, there is a major focus on mobility versus firepower, with a unique branch of service catered solely to strategic and tactical mobility, independent of the Air Force or Army (Mobility Support Force). National service was abolished and the military is experiencing a drastic reorganization and trimming. While undersized, the armed forces are heavily funded and well trained. According to the national constitution, NBC proliferation is forbidden. C3I, Electronic Warfare, and Special Operations Forces are major doctrinal focuses.
The nation is a known major financial and materiel supporter to a militant Susa movement who seek to establish worldwide influence by any and all means. Ulainesia has a separate and independent armed force that swears it's allegiance solely to the Holy Administrator, and by proxy, the Susa religion. (OOC: Kind of like IRGC and it's Qods Force in RL)
