With the many Past Tech Nations cropping up latley, we decided to make our selves more known ot the world. As we slowly come out of isolationism, and open to the international community, we are happy to share our fact book

Region: Xanadou
Motto: Family is what Unites
Offical Language: Kurma
Capital: Sonomi
Currency: Kuromian
Leader: Princess Tomoyo Mikanu http://************/ayeq7
HISTORY: Kurona was founded about the mid 1900's by a mass of various refugees. Mostly fleeing from War, Famine, poverty, corruption, or inmoral nations, many came seeking religous freedom, or safty. Some just came because of it's rich soil, it's protection by the large and often stormy Xanadouien Sea. But by the 1930's the nation entered into a power struggle. As a Royal Government organized it, more and more power was seized. However the Government was generally unopprssive, and really matched the ideals of the people. Soon enough elections we're no more, and the Princes had all controll.
Up untill 1950 all ruling Princes had been male. But soon a Female Princess took over. She was the first to be selected by the RAVEN ORDER, and at that time the only. Sadly she died of the flu about 14 months after she took office. After that a Male came back into the order, he had very diffrent ideas on how to run the nation. He came from a fiercley religious family, and was very conservative. "This nation needs not to deal with the corrupted outside world." Soon enough the borders we're sealed, and no one except certian refugees we're allowed in.
For A Long time Kurona remained in isolationism. Untill Prince Mako Mikanu took the throne. He felt Kurona was struggling for too long and sought to end the isolationsim. Not fully embraced by others. As a compromise to the RAVEN ORDER, he agreed to do it very slowly. Sadly death strikend him and his wife, as Mason's Syndrome was spreading. Because his only daughter Tomoyo was 12, the R.O. Took controll of the country untill she would reach the age of 13, in which she could rule. (That was order to only give to the heir or heriss is part of the Kurona Delceration of 1947)
Since then Tomoyo has been keeping her fathers work, of brining the country out of isolationism. By associating with freindly ally, progress is being made.
SOCIAL ASPECT
Life in Kuorona is diffrent. While the rest of the world continues to move ahead with the times, Kurona has always stayed behind. This is to keep their stirct moral intact, and their country free from scourges of greedy capitalism. This is also why they like to keep to theme selves, but they do interact with the international community. The major industry is agriculture, 1800-1900 style farms are spread out all over the nation. Ligthed by lantenrs, candles and fireplaces, electricity barley exists. However, they do have good indore plumbing and running water. Religon is devided right down the middle. 50% are Catholic, and 50% are Shinto. It's rare to fine an atheist or someone of anyother religion. Public schools are competly intergraded, and acedemics are taught to life. Crime is almost nonexistant in most areas, but the weak economy often get's people desperate. With Transportation, you are most likely to sail, or horse pull your self to your destination. Large wooden sail ships sail the high and often stormy seas. There have been incidents where large ships sink in storms, or wind up limping into the nearest port. Small passanger boats also take to the highseas. The major emphasis is on Family, and Family bond. The Divorce Rate is really low. Capitalism is not encouraged, and is more fround upon. With prisons, even though crime rates are low, you are still likely to get a very sever punishment, for sever crimes. Failure to pay taxes, murder, rape, or any other crimes of can land you in jail for lengthy periods of time. This has led to overcrowded prisons, which has led the Government resorting to shipping you off to deserted islands.
CLIMATE :
Under normal circumstances Kurona's climate is a wide buffet of conditions. It's stratigic location right dead center in the Xanadouien Sea makes it subjected to all weather conditions. In the North, winters are cold and snowy. Summers are generally mild and cool. In the south summers are hot and wet and dry and winters are mild and rainy. The center region generally receives both ends of the stick. It's not uncomon for large storm systems to pass through the entire nation. However this proved to be a frighthing thing when Kurona became Nature's Shooting Gallery. Terrible weather bashed the nation for so long, things we're only getting worse. Finally the storm cleared, and the weather calmed down.
GOVERNMENT
The Government is run by the Princess and her Cabinate. There are no elections, you are elected by bloodline, family, and the RAVEN ORDER. The Government tries to balance Democracy with Morality which can prove for some tight laws. The Government usually likes to keep to it's self, but is willing to get into international affairs, if they feel they must. It was Tomoyo that emphazized joining the newly formed Leauge of Nations, and Small Regions. However after the "Nature Incident" Tomoyo withdrew Kurona from the League of Small Regions, because very few nations came to the aid, and the leauge did not head Kurona's calls.
MILITARY
Kurona's force exists mainly for Defense of the Nation. It has NEVER fought Any war in the past, but has had to fight a war against the Soviets. When a N-Submarine washed up on it's shores, it lead to a heated conflict.
The Military has some pretty modern stuff, like Machine Guns, artillary shells, and other weapons. But nothing extreemly fancy.
Kurona's clostes ally is Kanami. But as Kanami is a more modern nation, they have been looking for more nations like them. (PT)
