The Dictatorship of Coruponia is proud to have just become a member of the Europa Region. The Dictatorship lead by his Divine majesty King Robert John Powell the First Will do whatever it takes to uphold the laws of the Region at the same time as fighting to keep its own civil laws in place.

Although Robert John Powell would like to keep his own Soverign laws intact, he is willing to bend and change a few to uphold a relationship with other nation states in the region of Europa. Below is an introduction to the nation and peoples of Coruponia.

The peoples:

TRURONIANS:

The Truronians make up around about 25% of the populous of Coruponia and revel in their divine heritage. Robert John Powell, is the most outstanding of the Truronians and is the leader of the country. Truronians can hold any position in business, the military, governmental positions within the dictatorship and civil jobs.

They get the best pay and are treated with the utmost respect. There are no Truronians below the upper working class and they have the best houses. They are stalwort citizens and respect their leader. No one complains. They have the most power if and when a political decision is sent out to the public for consdieration.

FALMOTHIANS:
The Falmothians make up around about 50% of the populous of Coruponia and are the main workhouse of the Coruponian state. Falmothians can only hold mid-level business jobs, low officer ranks in the military, and low ranking civil jobs.

They get a mediocre pay salary and are looked down upon by the upper class Truroians. They get to live in terraced houses and bungalows that are built at a medium cost to the government. They cannot own their own houses, have very little say in governmental decisions if and when they are sent out to the public. There are no Falmothians above the middle middle class and around 10% live belkow the poverty line.

VARIOUS OTHERS:

The Various others consist of a sub standard group of peoples and make up the other 25% of the population. These consist of immigrants, ex Truronians and Falmothians who turned to crime and were rejected by there own peoples, and a sub race of Coruponians called Homners. These various others can only hold menial jobs such as janitors, street cleaners, bin men, soldiers (who are badly treated) and contain the only unemployed in Couponia. These claim state benefit which is literally just enough to clothe, feed and house you.

These various others get the lowest salaries,are spat upon by the Truronians and looked down upon by the Falmothians. They live in over crowded tower blocks and cheaply built houses and cannoit own their own houses. They have no say if and when a political decision is sent out to public vote and are all lower class with 75% of them living below the poverty line with 10% living way below the poverty line and the other 15% earning just enough to get by.

The Nation:

The nation of Coruponia is split into 3 distinnctive sections around 3 capitals. There is Truro, the main capital and the center of the dictatorship. This is where the palace is located.

Falmouth is the municipal capaital of Coruponia and contains the military headquaters. This is where military decisions are made and when in place, marshall law is in force.

Hom, is the capital of the county of Greengarden and is where most business headquaters are situated.

The city names are where the different races names in Coruponia are derived from though that does not mean that all Truronians live in truro or come from truro.

The government is split the following way:

Soverign leader: his Divine majesty King Robert John Powell I
Advisor to the soveriegn Leader (and chief diplomat): Alex Harmer
Military Advisor to the Dictatorship (and Grand marshall): Giles Smith
Business Advisor to the Dictatorship: Phillip Pugh

Although the final decision on any law or act of war is the decision of his Divine Majesty King Robert John Powell I his advisors decide wether its a good idea to do certain things. Once the decision to go to war has been made, all further decisions in that department are made by the Grand Marshall Giles Smith. This includes the use of non-conventional weapons although at present Coruponia has no non conventional weapons or any plans to attempt to buy them or to create them.

It is the job of the Advisor to his divine majesty to report on what is going on in the country and on international relations. He doubles up has the chief diplomat and has the final say in any diplomatic decisions to be made. He can also give advice on wether to go to war with a country or not dependant on how relations with a country are going.

The diplomatic Core is laid out as follows:

Chief Diplomat (and advisor to his divine majesty): Alex Harmer
Diplomatic council: A council of the five top diplomats, chaired by Alex Harmer
Diplomatic Core: This core contains 5 sections each section controled by a diplomat on the council. Each section contains 50 - 100 diplomats who could each be working with 3 - 5 countries at a time once diplomatic ties are created.

The business Advisors job is to report to his Divine majesty how the economy is doing, which business' are failing and need to be liquidated or taken out by hostile takeover and which business' are making the most money for the country and need to be taxed more. Phillip pugh was chosen as the leader of Pizza2Go, the biggest chain in the pizza delivery service, the most promanant sector in the business sector of Coruponia. He always has to watch his back because if a nother business beats his business he will loose his position.

Environment

Coruponia is situated in a cold climate meaning there is rain most of the year round except the very height of summer (end of july, begining of august) where it is hot and sunny. Aswell as the height of winter (december/january) when it snows.

The populous wether poor or rich are prepared for these eventualities and have clothing to suit. Allthough the rich get access to better clothes and waterproofs etc.

There are many flood defence schemes in operation on the 12 minor rivers and 4 major rivers that flow through Coruponia although, there are no sea borders in Cooruponia, she is land locked. Her navy (when she eventually builds one) will be based on lake Corup, at the heart of the country where all four rivers flow from.

Although it has been known to flood in Coruponia in the past, the flood defence schemes mainly seem to keep things under control.

The land

The majority of Coruponia is flat with land levels ranging from its lowest point at approximately 5 meters above see level to its highest point at approximately 135 meters above see level. Although most of Coruponia (approximately 68%) is 15 meters above see level.

MT Corup, on the western edge of Lake Corup is the highest point of Coruponia and has a snow coverd peak all year round. It is believed that inside the mountain is the underground source for lake Corup.

Only 25% of Coruponia is arable land for farming but, since the methods are intense and extremly modern, enough food is produced for everyone with the Truronians getting more than the Falmothians and they in turn getting more than the various others.

25% of the land is forest. This used to be a lot higher but the forest is being stripped to provide building materials for housing for the various others and the poorest Falmothians as well as for fuel for log fires and to create more land to build on and farm.

25% of the country is coverd in water a massive 20% of which is Lake Corup herself. The other 5% is the various major and minor rivers in Coruponia.

Finally the last 25% is urban sprawl which contains the three major cities of Coruponia (mentioned earlier) and some 20 other areas ranging from large towns to small villages.

OCC: I think you might want to capitalize Sovereign and Majesty. It sounds and feels that your leader is the son of God or God. Just a suggestion.
