OOC: I've been looking at NS for a little while now, and I've decided to try and join in.
IC: President Arnold Wagner looked out the window of the Presidential Building at the city of Neshneidaitz, the Capital of the Republic of Mazakia, Neshneidaitz was not a large city, nor was the Republic a particularly large nation on the whole, the only other settlements that were big enough to be called cities were Ashshawetteski, 2/3rds the size of the Capital, and Shebqua Claire, about the same size as Ashshawetteski, the first two were inland settlements, the third was a port, intended for use as a trade center when communications with the world at large were opened up, in all three cities there were no truly tall buildings, even the Presidential Building didn't rise very high up, which was to be expected for a young nation like this one, the average landscape was harsh, sort of like a cross between the less pleasant areas in Texas, New Mexico, Mexico, Arizona, and the Australian Outback, not a place you'd really wish to be unprepared, the nation had very few prisons, as they couldn't afford to lose valuable labor, they had Rehabilitation Centers instead, as well as a small number of Labor Camps for serious offenders, the Mazakian people were generally hard workers, they believed that if you wanted something done, you rolled up your sleeves, and just did it yourself, no whining, just working, for the purposes of defence, the Republic maintained the Citizen Force, their version of what many nations called a Militia, or a National Guard, they had no Regular Army, just Citizen Soldiers who worked civilian jobs unless called up, then they put on the Citizen Force uniform, and whent to work to defend the people, the Citizen Force made up 1% of the total population, and it was all Infantry, just soldiers in uniforms, with M-16s, and some other weapons, the current leadership was President Wagner himself, Deputy President Charles Broger, and Deputy President Chelsea Shannon, below them was the Presidential Cabinet, then came the Congress, made up of the Senate, and the House of Representatives, then there was the local governing bodies in the villages and such, the Congress had recently voted, declaring now was the time for Mazakia to be revealed, and opened to the rest of the world, so a signal was broadcasted out that evening, by President Wagner himself:
"Hello, this is President Arnold Wagner of the Republic of Mazakia, is this message being recieved by anybody?"
