d) Were you recommended to Ajax? If so, by whom? Has any member of the region spoken to you about joining or applying?
- Long ago, by Fakolana (2019)a) Nation's IC name: Usezoya
IC Economics & Geography
b) Brief description of your nation:Usezoya, officially the Democratic Republic of Usezoya (Ludic: Демократическая Республика Узезоя), is a moderately sized nation located in northern Belisara. The country borders Ludvosiya and Velikoslavia to the west, Volsk to the north, with the southern and eastern border against the -TBD- sea.
c) Nation's type of government: Representative Democracy
Historically independent since the Popular Revolt of 1834, when areas under control of both Velikoslavia and the Mesogeian Empire revolted following the Thirty Years War between those two powers. The Popular Revolt, having been developed along ethnic and nationalist lines by the majority Zoyaks, would see the emergence of a militant, wary nation known as Usezoya. The initial leadership, under Hetman Fedir Vasylovych Velychko, would prove violent towards the neighboring Ludvisyo for its suppression of religion, with multiple raids and border skirmishes occurring throughout the 19th Century. The following decades would see a lessening in overt military action, though Ludvisyo-backed militias and terrorists would continue to plague the Usezoyak countryside. These would be countered by an emerging counter-intelligence system as well as several militant “patriotic organizations”, which proved an effective if paranoid vigilante system. Such activities largely died-out with the removal of the nationalists from the Ludvisyo government, though suspicion would continue to prevail for both citizenry as well as the national policy.
The nation today is a democratic republic, with a President (five year terms), a Vice President (five year terms), as well as a singular Senate. Regionalism continues to play a major part in the internal political life of Usezoya, as the Polky, legislative districts, are still generally controlled by native populations and are thus inherently independently-minded. Religious conflicts continue to plague the country as hardliner Old Ritualists, Rodnovers, and Orthodox Christian sects attempt to institute various preferential treatments, though the government has remained staunchly opposed to such laws.
d) What languages are spoken in your nation? Ludic (Official), Velik
e) What ethnic groups are present in your nation? Zoyak, Ludic, Velik
f) What are the major religions among your population? Old Ritualists, Rodnovery, Christian Orthodox
g) Briefly describe your nation’s military (including size, role, branches, etc.):The Usezoyak Armed Forces, an all-volunteer standing force of around 40,000 active personnel with 30,000 reserves, consists of the Usezoyak Army, Navy, Air Force, and Territorial Defense Force. Peacetime operations consist of participation in international operations and civil disaster relief. In wartime, the military forces emphasize the use of air mobile forces to maintain momentum in the war of maneuver, with the more heavily armed units providing bases from which they might pivot from. Naval forces are expected to engage enemy supply lines and disrupt amphibious landing forces, as well as provide support to ground units. The Territorial Defense Force operates as a mainly reserve branch intended to support civil disaster relief and national defense only.
j) Critically discuss the strengths of your nation (esp. military & economic) and what role you see your nation fulfilling in the region.
- Army: ~20,000 total employed personnel
1 air-mobile regiment, 2 mechanized regiments, 1 armor regiment, 1 artillery regiment, 1 air defense regiment, 1 engineer regiment, 1 logistics regiment- Navy: ~15,000 total employed personnel
6 diesel-electric submarines, 3 frigates, 2 corvettes, 3 large hydrofoil patrol boats, 13 hydrofoil patrol boats
2 oceangoing minesweepers, 16 coastal minesweepers, 2 minelayers, 1 signals intelligence vessel, 1 oceanographic vessel, 2 submarine rescue vessels- Air Force: ~10,000 total employed personnel
40 Combat Aircraft, 2 AWACS, 15 Transports, 70 Helicopters, 35 Trainer Aircraft, 11 UAV- Territorial Defense Force: ~25,000 total employed personnel
4 mechanized regiments, 1 armor regiment, 2 artillery regiments, 1 air defense regiment, 1 logistics regimentThe military strength of Usezoya primarily lies in its mobile land forces, comprehensive naval force, and large reserve force insofar as the Territorial Defense Force. Missile systems, while less developed than many others in guidance, often relies on doctrinal workarounds to provide for a surprisingly effective weapon, such as inertial waypoint guidance, laser designation by ground forces, and television guidance. Economically, the country’s main strength lies in regimented, generally efficient systems of organization, with vertical integration increasing overall productivity.
h) If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so?
As a developing power with undeveloped technology sectors and a strong wariness of her neighbors, Usezoya would act as a point of instigation Ludvosiya, Mesogeia, and Velikoslavia as the country has fought against all three relatively recently. It would provide for a source of tension between it and Ludvosiya due to the terror attacks by Ludvosiya-backed groups ending only recently. Isolationism by many political parties, as well as religious fundamentalism, would provide for healthy amounts of internal strife, opening an opportunity for other nations to interact with the ongoing scenarios.
- Reduced statistics, namely GDP per capita or population
- Cuts to military capability. Usezoyak naval forces are pretty modern with multiple classes of high speed hydrofoil missile boats in service, as well as several submarines. The hydrofoil and submarine numbers can be decreased, with substitutions of less capable FAC/FIAC vessels. Aircraft and army forces can also be lessened, or airborne regiments turned into mechanized/motorized.
- Increased religious conflict. Instead of tensions and attempts by various hardliner groups to institute preferential laws, religious organizations and militias would be on the rise with armed conflict a likely possibility.

Applicant Informationa) Time on NationStates:
IC Nation & Lore
2 years on & off, mainly off though.
c) Other nations:
Nope! None Active.
d) Were you recommended to Ajax? If so, by whom? Has any member of the region spoken to you about joining or applying?
- Initially (2020) I was recommended by Ghant, however my first concept didn’t fit the setting too well, so I took time away and built a second tailor-fit (Kaojiang). This time around I bounced some ideas off my prospective neighbors, and brainstormed privately with Hierophant to ensure a good fit and thematic resonance.a) Nation's IC name: The Divine Imperial Federation of Kaojiang
IC Economics & Geography
b) Brief description of your nation: Kaojiang, officially, The Divine Imperial Federation of Kaojiang is a medium-sized nation in Eastern Ochran which borders Unzangazar to the North, and Seonko, Kwun Fong, and Tsurushima to the East and Southeast.
Kaojiang is a nation that is both a producer and a product of her surroundings. She is a harbor for cultures, with centers of great sophistication; however she is also home to a manufacturing core from which she gains most of her industry. Life within Kaojiang is decent, but certainly not lavish for most.
The nation is a federal monarchy ruled by incumbent Emperor Yuani-Tuendo-Kao I and Empress Consort Neizha-Mi-Kao. Each province of Kaojiang carries a monarch and elects a separate minister (or in the case that they do not have a monarch, simply elects a leader), who form the High Imperial Court. The Lower Imperial Court is formed by elected officials from every region within every province, of which there are 11.
Kaojiang’s landscape is laden with rivers and hills, resembling the Guangxi Province of China. She shares rivers with her neighbors Seonko and Kwun Fong, and uses these to facilitate convenient and frequent trade with them, exporting riverboats, ships, military equipment of all sorts, and raw materials. She imports raw materials and exports machinery, electronics, and military equipment to her northerly neighbor Untsan Gazar. Kaojiang is also a member of the Vespanian Exchange Institute and the Trans-Makrian Development Bank.
Kaojiang is the origin point for the Jiang’an script, which is used across East Ochran. It is a pictographic script and the primary writing system of Kaojiang. It was used historically by its neighbor Seonko, and is still used in written language by Tsurushima and Kwun Fong, amongst others. The script is also used in Kaojiang’s two official languages, Piadien Kaojiangan and R’dang. It is currently romanized according to the Ldieng-Drusus Index, developed in the late 19th century by Hong Ldieng (Kaojiang) and Aurelius Drusus (Latium), and with the blessing of the Emperor.
The national instrument of Kaojiang is the Shōfungxin, an instrument that nowadays closely resembles the accordion, but was traditionally constructed of an inflatable membrane such as a bladder, which was compressed from one end to blow air over reed pipes. The reeds were closed off by valves and air was pumped in order to play notes and chords. A plate is rested against the torso of the player, while the other is moved back and forth.
The national animal of Kaojiang is the Kaojiangan Ox, a majestic beast of burden famed for its antlers, which traditionally were decorated and/or etched while the Ox served and shorn in half as it was retired. It boasts many varied coats, but typically has lighter-coloured fur. Culturally it is praised for its strength and elegance.
c) Nation's type of government: Federal Monarchy.
d) What languages are spoken in your nation? Piadien Kaojiangnese, R’dang, minority Lingnamese, Mankut, Osh, Bayar.
e) What ethnic groups are present in your nation? 64% Pia-Dien, 23% Rdang, 10% Assorted Indigenous, 3% Other.
f) What are the major religions among your population? Kaojiang Pantheon, N’nhivara, Folk Religions.
g) Briefly describe your nation’s military (including size, role, branches, etc.):
The Imperial Kaojiangan Armed Forces consists of four major branches, which each divide into two sub-branches with the notable exception of the Imperial Kaojiang Naval Forces, which subdivide into four sub-branches. Kaojiang utilizes a 1-year term of conscription followed by a period of mandatory enlistment in the reserve forces during which servicemen may be called upon to serve at any time, although usually only in cases of war. In order to ensure quality, the officer corps and certain branches such as the Imperial Kaojiang Air Force, and the Imperial Kaojiang Cyber Intelligence Forces are volunteer-based, with only the ground regiments taking conscripts.
Kaojiang also makes use of Carabinieri (The Imperial Kaojiang Carabinieri, IGC) as a military force used within the civilian population as law enforcement. They are mainly prevalent in rural areas of the country. They also serve anti-terrorism duties and are more extensively armed than the primary police forces.
The main branches of the Imperial Kaojiangan Armed Forces are as follows: The Imperial Kaojiang Land Forces, The Imperial Kaojiang Naval Forces, The Imperial Kaojiang Air Forces, and the Imperial Kaojiang Territorial Guard.
Army: 60,000 Active personnel, ~340,000 Reserves.
Air Force: 18,000 Active personnel, ~29,000 Reserves.
Navy: 19,000 Active personnel, ~34,000 Reserves.
National Guard: 20,000 Active personnel, ~40,000 Reserves.
j) Critically discuss the strengths of your nation (esp. military & economic) and what role you see your nation fulfilling in the region.
- Kaojiang’s strengths come from its manufacturing base and its focus on guarding what it has. The weaknesses in this manufacturing-based economy are that it can be reliant on the import of resources.
Kaojiang’s military expenditure also puts a dent in financial resources that it could better use towards public expenditure. In addition, as a military with a large reserves force, the armed forces must constantly keep the reservists trained or risk fielding an unprepared force.
There are also regional imbalances within Kaojiang, with the coastal and capital regions owning more wealth than the rest, especially those rural regions which border its neighbor Uluujol, as they only enjoy tenuous connections to the major rivers that flow throughout the nation, hindering wide-scale waterborne transportation.
h) If asked to reduce the strength of your nation, how would you do so? Economically? Lower the nominal GDP / alter exports and imports.
Militarily? Shrink the military, and/or reduce military expenditure.a) Nation's IC GDP per capita: 24039
Roleplay History
b) Nation's IC population: 68,510,285
c) What does your nation excel in exporting? Machinery and electronics, along with military equipment.
d) What does your nation need to import? Materials required for production and manufacture, tourism.
e) What is your country self-sufficient on? Generally, military equipment and food.
f) What is your preferred location on the regional map?
