NS PLAYER PROFILES

Yet again, the NS Player Profiles have been updated.
2 threads in the past, 1 by Pilot and 1 by Soviet Democracy, have gathered player profiles together.

So, continuing that tradition, please post your profile below, and I will add it. I will try to keep this a list of current nations, so if nations expire I will remove them. However, I will do that fairly infrequently, as it takes awhile to go through all the nations listed.

Notes:
1. Please put your nations full name at the beginning of your profile.
2. If your nation starts with "The," it will be under "T (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7156313&postcount=21)".
3. If your nation starts with a number, spell out the number and look under that letter. (ex. 6 would be under "s")
4. Please, do not telegram me your NationStates Profile. Post it here.
5. I will make changes, but NOT cosmetic changes to your nation name.
6. Please use this format: (look below for examples)

Full Nation Name (Put just your Full Nation's Name, not "Full Nation Name - 'Nation's Name'")
