FACTBOOK ENTRY: The Free Land of Salvinoria
Note that all dates are in real-time. This factbook lacks many details (like coastline, highest mountain peak, etc) but I must wait till I get any nice spot on Europa's map. It's considered permanently under construction.
Background
Overview: The Free Land of Salvinoria is a country dominated by scattered tribes that is build upon ruins of once fluorishing Arakarian Empire. Many months passed since the Dark Ages started. Locals are socially backwarded towards other NationStates' citizens. Anthropologists claim that salvinorians are part of great indo-european family but without any significant traces of greek or latin culture. They belive in magic, have little understanding of currency and have no codified law. Salvinoria is recognised as a political body since self-appointed Prince Kras gained control over 20% of lands and introduced himself to the international community. It occured on 7th May 2006. Salvinorians are diffucult to control and any attempt to suppres them didn't succeded. If forced, they start guerilla warfare. They lack of fuel-based vechicles but local groups exchange metals and fuels for weapons.
UN Dossier (http://www.nationstates.net/salvinorin): Salvinoria is a small environmentally stunning nation that is davout, socially progressive and safe. It is notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates and absence of prisons. Its compassionate population enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption."
