BASIC DETAILS
IC name: Imperial Federation of Auroya
Population: Somewhere short of 200 million.
Language(s): Auroyan (and its dialects) is the primary and most widely-spoken language; its dialects are typically separated into several distinct groups: northern, upper, mid, lower, and western.
Main culture/ethnic group: "Auroyan", though this is an umbrella term consisting of a mulitude of sub-ethnicities and regional identities.
Capital: Imketia
Government type: Federal presidential republic (with a highly ceremonial vestigial monarchy, so perhaps "crowned republic")
Leader(s): Empress Cinya Iocir; Chancellor Aozor Akona
Nation description (at least a paragraph, please):Auroya is a federation, comprising a multitude of states on its home archipelago and several others further afield, the latter being primarily remnants of its attempts at a colonial empire. This federal structure has at its head - de jure, anyway - an ancient monarchy, on the throne of which sits (in the present day) Empress Cinya Iocir. But this is power in name only; the monarchy is a figurehead, politically entirely ceremonial. Auroya is a modern liberal democracy, and the head of the government is a Chancellor, elected by a nationwide vote. This chancellor acts in a role very similar to the US presidency, rather than being based on the British idea of a prime minister. Aside from them, there is a complex tricameral legislature, parts of which have evolved over a very long time and parts of which are much more new and modern, and then there is a judiciary.
Auroya predominantly follows a polytheistic, animist folk religion; a complex and ancient collection of mythology with regional variation, along with a focus on rituals and a diverse and deeply culturally-ingrained set of practices and festivals. This religion is generally referred to by the name Ibutism, and it also incorporates what one would call "magic" - supernatural forces, and the ability to influence them. Auroya being FanT means that these forces are real. Throughout the land, there is a large number of "magical societies" - oftentimes secretive (though not always) organizations dedicated to the understanding of the supernatural. A few of the most ancient have nefarious reputations, and the libraries of the most prestigeous societies are said to hold knowledge of both marvelous things and terrible things which man was not meant to know.
Auroyan culture is deeply interleaved with its religion due to its nature.
The archipelago has seen many stages of unification throughout its long history - though it was never fully unified until the early 20th century - and has historically been home to several powerful states and kingdoms, as well as temporary unions and federations of these. There has always been a vague "Auroyan" identity, but the modern state is the first to be able to lay claim to all of it.
Auroya made attempts at empire-building during the mid-to-late 19th century, and enjoyed a little success; though it was mostly a trade empire, a few of its posessions became settler-colonial efforts, some of which are states of the Imperial Federation today. During this time - as the precursor to the modern Imperial Federation began to integrate the majority of the archipelago - Auroya began to rise to prominence as a regional power, then later in the early 20th century as a world power. It would presumably have gotten involved in a few major wars, depending on what regional history is like; I'll do my best to work it into the regional history.
In terms of its economic doctrine, Auroya employs a fair few libertarian-left wing ideas; employee-run organizations are likely to be common, for example, all operating within a free market - a decentralized market economy (a mixed one, consisting of state-run enterprises, autonomous cooperatives, small-scale private enterprise, etc etc) with a small role for state intervention and macroeconomic planning. Ironically, Auroyans are likely to identify as "free marketeers", though disagreeing with most others on what exactly represents "economic unfreedom". Auroya's economic history is probably... interesting to say the least.
Since the 60s/70s, Auroya has also been running a very extensive space program, with both civilian and military aspects to it, at the cost of dialing back its military power projection capabilities somewhat and transferring resources.
Also, a part of its new military doctrine are ace-combat style flying ships.
Map claim: Here. I'd also like to look, if possible, into picking up a few small colonial remnant possessions around the world, thought I'd prefer to work that out once/if I'm actually in.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
What role do you envision yourself playing in international relations?:Generally, I'd imagine Auroya to be a significant economic and diplomatic power, highly interested in protecting its interests in its region of the world, but reliant on soft power first and miliary options last. It probably seeks to maintain a hegemony in its immediate region, and where possible will cooperate with other powers in furthering its interests.
That said, Auroya's modern military makes power projection and intervention capability (through naval and air assets) one of its priorities, and I expect it'd make use of it now and then. It's also likely to be a highly active participant in various geopolitical organizations and alliances.
Critically discuss the strengths of your nation (esp. military & economic) and how they may affect existing regional power structures:Well, it'd naturally mean that whatever blocs it associates with grow a little stronger; its various small holdings around the world may also create hostile relations with some states here and there.
Its most significant influence would probably be in its own region of the world, where it would actively seek to make sure that regimes hostile to it or its interests do not thrive. From a historical perspective, its own region of the world may also have quite the history of Auroyan intervention and imperialization.
Auroya would probably also be a leader in space militarization; I'm not sure in what way this would affect regional power structures, since I'm not sure that's a very significant theater.
Economically, Auroya is a powerful, modern, diversified economy; its existence will make the continent it's on more economically important.
If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?: Dialing back its power projection capabilities to a more appropriate level would be my first call.
OOC STUFF
How did you hear about Rostil?: I saw it mentioned here and there. Mostly linked in signatures.
Other NS accounts: I've mostly been active on this one.
