Nanakaland, in Association with New Genoa, Proudly Presents
.::The New NationStates Super Thread::.
This is a new idea, combining old elements - many of the old elements made by me. It is a "super thread" and will have national listings (my idea back in April), links, and many more sections and links. I will update it periodically. Hopefully, you will no longer have to go through dozens of threads to get what you want to know. The NationStates Super Thread is associated with the NationStates World Factbook (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74382), The Big Book of NationStates Tools (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=123699), The International Mall (http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/) and The NationStates World Fair - Port Nanaka, Nanakaland (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=120221). The NationStates Encyclopedia (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127331) shares some entries with this thread.
This thread is very much an international and interactive effort. You are able to submit links to threads that I may consider linking to, you are able to submit entries for your nation, region, and/or alliance, and most importantly, you are able to use this reference thread for your benifit.
This includes a section to help new nations and links to useful threads.

World War Three (Amerigan Slave War)
Archive: WWIII Archive (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30536)
Date: February 6, 2003 to February 21, 2003
Cause: The use of slaves by the nation of Amerigo.
Plot: The conflict began when the Republic of Syskeyia blockaded Amerigo for the latter country's selling of slaves. Soon theafter, anti-slaver nations, including Texarnica, Aerigia, Chimaea and Cucolo, joined in the blockade. Other, pro-slavery or pro-soverignty nations, inlcuding Melkor Unchained and The Water Cooler, sided with Amerigo and an undeclared naval war happened. There was one exception to this: the Empire of The Eternal Dawn. EOTED fought for neither side, but nontheless was involved; they fought an Intervention War, with small success, and parted the sides slightly for a brief period of time towards the end of the war - but only at sea. During this time, several attempts were made at peace, including Ineptia's unsuccessful attempt to buy all the slaves for emancipation, and an aborted peace conference at the port city of Liasa. Still, attempts at peace were made while forces escalated. Finally, Amerigo declared war on the blockading nations. Iesus Christi and the Reich struck first, initiating a campaign of terror thoughout the Pacific country. Soon therafter, join Syskeyian-Chimaean-Rastonian forces made their assault, stopping just short of the city of Jungle Falls. A kilotonne-range nuclear device is rumoured to have been let off in the Bay of Amerigo, towards the end of the war, either by EOTED or Tahar Joblis. It is unclear exactly which nation unleashed the nuclear weapon, although public opinion tends towards Tahar Joblissian usage.
Results: In the middle of the war, the Amerigan government fell (usually this means the end of the war, but oh well) and, after the Reich had sent all its troops (and numerous deported Amerigans) back to their shores, an Amerigan general seized power and abolished slavery as a program of Communism. The remaining anti-slavery forces subsequently withdrew.

Demonessian Civil War
Link: Demonessian Civil War (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1644)
Date: December 26, 2002 to January 1, 2003
Cause: The Empress of Demoness (the now deceased Jia Li) is only allowed to marry a priest, but she fell in love with her High Guard, Xel Nedia, who became a priest in order to be with her. However, the Council of Twelve (leaders of the Church of Demoness) refused to ordain him, and in retaliation, Jia Li fled the country. From various locations, including Meganekkonia, she made transmissions declaring that the whole system of government was a sham. The Council wanted rule for themselves, which is why they would only let the Empress marry a priest, and that she would like to start a democracy, etc.
Plot: Jia Li sneaked back into the country and contacted Xel with her plan. Unfortunately, the Council declared her a liar and presented another woman as the real Empress. She turned out to be Hikari, Jia Li's twin sister who was supposedly dead (but had no claim on the throne anyway). In order to salvage her plan, Jia Li challenged Hikari to a duel for the leadership of the country. On the day of the duel, a shot was fired by an assassin from Polynesian Free States, and chaos broke loose. Jia Li fled with Xel into the Catacombs while the country disintegrated around them. Akbar, Raevyn, Xen, Darkskye, and a few other countries sent in troops to help control rioting, but in the confusion, they were mistaken for invaders and the Demonessians returned fire. Jia Li somehow managed to regain control of the country and normality was restored.
Results: Over 100,000 Demonessians died alone; other casualties are unknown. Demoness closed its borders for a week and after reopening them, the Demonessians' appearance changed to that of Asian elves. A breeding program was started and other drastic changes in policy were incurred. Hikari fled to PFS, whom she later helped invade Demoness. Jia Li and Xel were married.

All Elves Conflict
Archive: All Elves Conflict Archive (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41705)
Date: March 21, 2003 to April 17, 2003
Cause: A Nation of Elves was growing powerful, and they were pissing Melkor off. Old Rivalries.
Plot: Lord Melkor, wanting to test the mettle of his new Sky Furnaces, and eager to flaunt the increased battle prowess of his flagship carrier, the Gothmog, launched a pulverizing strike on the nation of All Elves. A total of 35 million troops [mainly Uruk Hai] were unleased on the unsuspecting nation, who, lacking international help, was quickly crushed under the grinding gears of Melkor's war machine. Contributing to the effort was a stellar Naval battle won by a coalition force of The Empire of Kalessin and The Orcish Horde. Melkor's Navy held off the EOTED Navy for the landings, and the Gothmog was crippled by the IDAS Raven and the IDAS Si Ling I, before the aft railgun popped a 3-ton incendiary shell into its bridge. The Sky Furnace Dor Daedoloth, then the only Gravship in Melkor's arsenal, displayed its true power by turning the city of Gondolin into a flaming, charred crater. Ever since the war, there have been irreparable blights and bogs around All Elves.
Results: All Elves is no more.

Date: February 9, 2003 to February 15, 2003
Cause: The One Ring announces creating of concetration camps for elves.
Plot: Following Sauron's announcement, a loose coalition of nations including members of the Triumvirate of Yut, the Ctan, Cetaganda, EOTED, and Menelmacar formed to attempt to save the elves from the death camps. Other nations, most notably Kn-Yan and Melkor Unchained (in its first military engagement) sided with Sauron on the grounds that outsiders had no right to interfer. Initially a peaceful resolution was attempted, most notably in a conference aboard the Ctani carrier Killing Time. However, fighting soon broke out, and Melkor's delegation, lead by the Maia Alkanphel Ancalagon, attempted to destroy the ship. Killing Time was heavily damaged. Soon, an all-out air war was underway, with air superiority being narrowly held by the Allies. Major landings at the main camp of New Auschwitz were soon made by TYCS and Cetagandan forces. The camp garrison was caught unawares, and in the ensuing the camp was taken with light Allied casualties. The Allied forces then formed a defensive line around the camp while massive air campaign was launched. Heavy fighting began as the airlift continued, with Melkor's forces leading the effort to retake the camp. After the camp was evacuated, Allied forces quickly withdrew and began to make plans to take other secondary camps. However, before this occured, the One Ring detonated an IGNORE weapon on itself, ending the conflict.
Results: Several million elves were succesfully rescued, although estimates put the death toll as high as a million. Included in these refugees were several thousand children that were sent to the Empire of Kalessin by Koania, which had been supporting the Allied effort. Concern over these children lead to a confence between the involved nations. Inspection delegations were sent by Kn-Yan and Cetaganda. The official reports say that nothing was wrong. An unofficial Cetagandan report says otherwise; the Kn-Yan delegation's leader died mysteriously. While the issue has ended for most nations, there are rumors that Cetaganda has a delegation meeting with Prince al Vvishak of Kalessin regarding the children, first at his palace and now at Orm Embar.

Adderton (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Adderton), The Dominon of
A quaint and small country, it was mainly settled by two waves of immigrants: the Sang Saus and the Aboriginies. The Sang Saus settled along the coastal areas with the Aboriginies holding the desert areas. Several centuries passed with these two factions never really growing a good liking to each other until the rise of Chief Wiggin Watts, whom brokered the Treaty of Charleston Cliffs, which helped to establish the Dominion of Adderton.
Since that treaty, several changes have taken place within the country. The Aboriginies have switched from herding only mustangs to cows, thereby creating a ranching industry that gave a mighty boom to Adderton's economy. The Althing has evolved to the Parliment, with the House of Lords changed to the Barony House, in order to accomodate with the pace of the modern day. A system of railroads was established in the interior of the country in order to link up the two coastlines as one national econmy. There also has been a growth within the Aboriginie community as several wealthy ranchers and railroad barons founded the frameworks of the Union Party, which currently holds the majority in Parliment.
Athamasha (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=athamasha), The Flaxen Community of
A relatively old but fairly isolated nation devoted to pursuing internal perfection. Athamashan politics have been dominated by the Socialist Party since the nation's conception, although other parties certainly have had no small effect on the process of the Community. The name "Flaxen Community" reflects the ideological bent of the nation: Flaxenism, a home-grown philosophy based around older Neo-Sydicalist thought. The Community has an avowedly pacifist nature and absolutely refuses to participate in any armed conflicts unless attacked, in which case it will use its titanic nuclear arsenal. Athamashans come in a few different ethnic groups which have remarkably managed to attain a fair level of coöperation and unity despite their disperate origins.
Athamasha's UN Affairs Office also currently serves as the delegate for The Mediterranean.
The geography of the Community is fairly monotonous: flat, green parkland surrounding a few titanic cities. Despite the size of each city, no city actually has any power whatsoever, the whole government is run by Unitary Voting.
Famous Athamashans include Lev Feinstein, Flaxenist philosopher, Jane Gallagher, chair of the Socialist Party for dozens of years, Michael Horowitz, Free Democrat leader and acclaimed writer, Prc. Usao Pastecxoj, leader of the armed forces of Athamasha, and Rectorius Turris, creator of the Athamashan legal system.
Ongoing battles within the country include attempts to cut taxes and crime while deciding whether to remain isolated or branch out.
.:: B ::.
Bariloche (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=bariloche), the Community of
After a few decades of anarchy on what one day had been the territory of the Argentinian Republic, the people of the city of Bariloche and its inmediations started to spontaneously create communal groups of production.
With the passing of more than 50 years the relations became more complex and the territory involved covered more than two of what used to be argentinian provinces and even crossed the Andes involving several cities of the previously chilean territory.
When the population of all this areas exceded the 5 million inhabitants, and political estructures started to appear, a lider appear within the masses: Nicolás Bernal, he lead a movement that had as objective the creation of a government that would organize all the territory and with the passing of time create a direct democracy that would allow the communal structures to survive without the power falling in the hands of what could become to be a corrupt government.
Today, almost three generations after this events, the movement is still going and the current leader is Pablo Bernal, Nicolás grandson is striving to reach a more participative democracy. Bariloche has already more than 125 million inhabitants and has claimed territories beyond the original "de facto" borders. The economy is well, the government allowed all communal structures to continue, and the country has entered the international community by making alliances with other previously argentinian territories, entering the UN and also the Legion of Defense. Update: This nation has become a LoD Protector. [see also Legion of Defence]

Carolina (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=-Carolina-), the People's Republic of
When South Carolina became fed up with the way the United States of America was being led, they, for the 2nd time in history, seceded from the United States. Shortly after, their good friend and neighbor, North Carolina, also seceded, at the advice of South Carolina. The two former states combined to form the country of Carolina, which has currently yet to find a home that can hold all of its citizens. The elections for president were fierce, with South Carolina governor Mark Sanford and North Carolina governor Michael F. Easley facing off. After the final vote was counted, Governor Mark Sandford had won by 2 votes. Now, he plans to lead Carolina to national prominence.
Chimaea (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=chimaea), The Commonwealth of
The Commonwealth of Chimaea is a nation, including various territories and autonomous regions, which lies in the Empire of Baron. Rich in culture and history, Chimaea continues to thrive as a democratic, multicultural society based on a high standard of civil and political rights and freedoms.
Its people come from all over the world; different ethnicities, religions and cultures co-existing peacefully under one flag and one name, yet retaining the unique aspects that set them apart.
The multi-trillion Sil Chimaean economy is on par with the best in the world, due to careful and responsible investments, trade and a modern, open market.
Chimaea is a strong voice of freedom and democracy in the international stage; an advocate of human rights and political freedoms, our constitution is based on a progressive and tolerant outlook. Along with other Baron nations Chimaea continues to provide aid, diplomatic and military support and a safe-haven for the cause of democracy.
Cyberutopia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=cyberutopia), The Unified Socialist Republic of
The beginnings of Cyberutopia date to the Feudal Ages of Japan. During the Era of the Warring Clans, Hokkaido, seeking it's independence and looking to follow the lead of the many daimyos of the larger islands, broke off from the empire to pursue it's own future. Seeing no current importance in the desolate island, it's rebellion was largely ignored. Hokkaido wrapped itself in isolation for the next 500 years.
The nation now known as Cyberutopia arose in the year 2009, and quickly rose in the ranks of technological might. According to Cyberutopian clocks, it is now 2092. Many nations and individuals consider Cyberutopia their allies. The nation excels in education and all forms of freedoms, along with medical technology, military hardware, and information technologies. The current population is 1.882 billion and growing. Cyberutopia retains a strong economy which is heavily controlled by the government. The government is presided over by the People's Representative, who has little power and serves mainly as a spokesperson for the nation. All issues are presented to the public, and are decided upon by them. A council of Arbiters make up the judicial and legislative branch, elected by the people of each region.
One event defines recent Cyberutopia history, known mainly as the Cyberutopian Incident. An unknown aggressor incited dissenters within the nation to stage a takeover. These rebels assassinated the People's Representative and the High Admiral of the Fleets. After taking power, they imposed a strict authoritarian regime over the nation with a certain Overlord Cortez as their figurehead, but their influence reached no farther than the capital outskirts. Beyond was pure anarchy. Several nations stepped in to halt the chaos, and Cortez retaliated in full force. A nuclear device was detonated within the capital, anihillating an Aelosian army and turning most of the capital into slag. Belem is believed to be behind the nuke, but to this day denies any involvement in the crisis other than "peacekeeping purposes". Eventually the rebels and the loyalists met en masse and a massive battle ensued on the outskirts of the capital. In the confusion, the Head Commander of the Agents, Agent Four, along with the Aelosian Colonel-Commander Elfira D'nan and Thelasian General Thellas (pretty sure this is incorrect, will correct later) penetrated the enemy lines and succeded in subduing Cortez, but not before he turned his own army into scrap along with the rest of the city, and threatening the entire western portion of Cyberutopia with a large quantity of fusion explosives. Cortez was taken in, and has not been heard from since. The former Head of Defense, Duo Migashi, took the office of People's Representative, and Cyberutopia has flourished in a Golden Age henceforth.

Drakonics (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=drakonics), Protectorate of
According to Drakonic historical records, the Protectorate of Drakonics was formed by the leaders of all dragon clans in order to govern dragon society as a whole. The remainders of the various dragon species left Earth by means of which are still disputed (several theories include spacecraft, magicks, and combinations of the two), after dragons were killed off almost to the brink of extinction by a growing human civilization. Dragons left Earth in one massive trip to another planet capable of supporting life but which was quite far from Earth itself; no more specific records of travel has survived the thousands of years that have passed since the Great Migration occurred. Dragon society itself was ill-equipped to handle the human threat; contrary to popular human belief dragons were not warlike and lacked the inherent aggressiveness of the human race. As a result of this dragons were not prepared to defend themselves, and were quickly decimated by hunters and "crusaders". Many of the evils apparent in human society are non-existant in dragon society; racism, greed, and hatred are among these. The Protectorate of Drakonics is run by a King (King Wartorne) and Queen (Queen Shel'Kael); although these two dragons hold supreme power over dragon society they also are advised by an Inner Circle of various Representatives which are voted in by Drakonic citizens. Drakonics are a mix of dozens of dragon subspecies; these include various main types such as Westerns, Easterns, Wyverns, and Anthromorphics, as well as many genetic mixes of all of the above and more not mentioned. The Protectorate of Drakonics takes pride in it's superior technological advances in medicine and exploration. (More specific information of any kind can be obtained by telegramming the Human Liaison via telegram to the Protectorate of Drakonics).
Drizzts Army (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Drizzits_Army), The Free Drow Land of
The Nation of Drizzts Army was formed in 1300 when a large group of drow renegades reached an island full of resources they need to survive in their new sancutary so they could grow the renegade drow peoples to escape the UnderDark of the World.
First Contact was made with the British Navy in 1756, and the ideals of Europe reached the island after a long period of isolation. The military became modernized again, and the studies of learning, science, and medicine have been introduced to the renegade drow peoples. Years after First Contact, they fought in the Napoleonic Wars, World War 1, and World War 2 when the islands were attacked for the first time by Hitler's Luftwaffe. They remember WW2 as the struggle for survival to the nation already at war for the first time. So after the war, Drizzts Army was again in Isolation with the NATO countries, forgeting the nation with the threats of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. But in the years following the fall of the Soviet Union, Drizzts army joined the region called The Zoogie Isles which suprisingly was next door to the island nation.
Today, Drizzts Army is a strong nation in the region and still comes on the defense against the terroist group LLF (Lloth Liberation Front) because they want to overthrow the goverment and restablish the Lloth ways and relgion in the nation which would destroy the freedoms.

Empire of The Eternal Dawn, The
The Empire of The Eternal Dawn is, from border to border, over three thousand miles in 'breadth'. The land is, however, 65% uninhabitable, due to the propensity towards mountainous terrain in the North.
The capital city of the Empire is - highly scenic - Nenya, situated in the nation of Ma-Nenya, and has a growing population of over 300million souls. Nenya nestles against the Bay of Turath in the South, and against the Lake Nenya in the North. To the North of the Lake are the so-called Forbidding Mountains, home to a small population of - modernized - nomadic 'towns' of Nenyans, whom live the way that Nenyans once did, pre-First Empire years. The Empire largely ignores them, allowing them to preserve their customs. Also in the mountains are the Western Sentinels, great two hundred metre tall defence towers that guard the western sea border. They were originally built to deter naval invasions.
Nenya is, by and large, the most beautiful place in the Empire. It is built into an ancient forest, and the city maintains a harmonious existance with the natural environment around it; indeed, one finds it tremendously difficult to even see Nenya on an inbound flight. This is partly due to the propensity of greens and browns; although the odd bronze-coloured building can be seen glinting in the Sun. This is also due to the ban on any building in Nenya being taller than two stories, a ban which extends Empire-wide following the Great Storms of the preceding century - storms which killed many thousands of people due to a combination of shoddy construction and over-bearing great tall behemoths of buildings which served only to be egotistical and categorically impossible to maintain.
The second capital is Tek, capital of Ma-tek, situated against the Eastern Shore of the Bay of Turath. Tek the smallest of the three 'capital' cities of the Empire; it only has a population of thirty-six million. Having said that, however, it is the second most densley populated, to Nenya. Tek is only thirty-nine square miles in size; that makes density level of close to one million people per square mile. Tek is largely bronze in colour, however, there are also grey and green buildings - these are mostly government buildings, however, and are also not open to the public with the exception of Imperial House (Ma-tek Division) and Citizens House (Ma-tek Division).
Turath is the largest city in the Empire, with more than 500million souls. It is also the largest geographically; it stretches along close to 1,000 miles of coast, from the upper tip of the Bay of Turath to the Sea in the South. Turath is highly industrialized, like all three capital cities, but is also the most economically rich of the three cities. It is not a tourist destination, however - unlike Tek and Nenya, which attract millions of tourists every year. The edge of the city is dominated by the 'Ag Lands', where hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of Imperial Citizens work during their 'agricultural service' of three years. Ag-service is mandatory in the Empire, and provides the food for all two billion inhabitants of the Empire of The Eternal Dawn (may it last forever!). The Ag Lands are, however, quite ugly, for the most part; fields after fields of corn crops and wheat, barley, cabbages, and cauliflower, and all manner of crops. There are also pastoral fields, of course; these are situated at the far side of the Ag Lands, but not at the edge of their domain. At the edge lie the Orchard Lands; field after field of glorious fruit trees, with lakes and canals linking them together. These are widely considered to be most beautiful, and can be seen on many a postcard sold in the Empire. The Southern Tip region of Turath is newly-built, due to a nanotech disaster in that area of the city a few years ago; the region of the city was entirely destroyed in that incident. Similarily - like the other two cities - the entire near-coast region is also largely rebuilt, following the Nargothrond Incident during the War of Survival against Morgoth and his ilk.
The Empire is, politically, a democracy. It is, however, what may be classified as a socio-imperialist democracy. That is, we have an Emperor; but we also have autonomous People-owned government in the form of Citizens House and Imperial House.
Citizens House has three Divisions; Ma-Nenya Division, Ma-tek Division, and Ax-turath Division. Citizens House is 25% elected and 75% selected by lottery from the population over 40 years of age, excluding Nenyans, who must be over 100 years of age in order to serve their Political Service. Political Service is mandatory at the whim of the Political Lottery. Citizens House is the Constitutional Branch of EOTED government.
Imperial House also has three Divisions, also Ma-Nenya Division, Ma-tek Division, and Ax-turath Division. Imperial House is 75% elected and 25% selected from the population over 40 years of age, excluding Nenyans, who must be over 100 years of age in order to serve their Political Service. Imperial House is the Legislative Branch of EOTED government.
The Executive Council (one Council, one Empire) is composed of: the Emperor; the Queen of Ma-Nenya; the High Lord of Ma-tek; the High Lady of Ax-turath; and the High Lord and High Lady of the Sol Orbital Colony of Vilya Elenosto. Any action taken by the EC must come via unanimous vote (seven 'Yea's).
The Judicial Branch is seperated into three disproportionate judiciary-only courts; the Environmental Court, Criminal Court, and the Economic Court.
The Imperial Environmental Court (or EnC for short, as it is generally referred to) is responsible for ensuring that EOTED industry does not encroach on the environment beyond the 'sustainable level'. 45% of the judges are elected by joint election by the Imperial House and Citizens House; the remaining 55% are selected by the Executive Council. The EnC may not pass new laws or adjust existing ones (that being the 'job' of the Legislative Branch); it may only enforce existing laws. It can, however, with a super-majority decision of 75%-for, request a change of law/adjustment of law from Imperial House.
The Imperial Criminal Court pursues matters of criminal punishment. There are only three CC judges; all are selected by the Executive Council. They don't have very much work to do. The CC may not pass new laws or adjust existing ones. It cannot change law, nor can it create law. It does not have the power to request adjustment/change of law from Imperial House.
The Imperial Economic Court oversees Imperial Trade Conglomerate policy. The Imperial Trade Conglomerate is responsible for all economic activity inside EOTED; the EcC ensures that the ITC (an autonomous corporation owned by the Emperor) does not act illegally, and acts only in the socio-economic interest of the Empire as a whole.
It should be noted that we do not have a Constitution; our 'Constitution' is underwritten via previous passed laws. It is, therefore, a highly complicated and complex system; this does, unfortunatley, make Citizens House' job very difficult.
The Emperor and His Executive Council possess the power of veto over all other branches of Government, but only with a unanimous vote.
The Emperor also possesses the power of Imperial Decree; an Imperial Decree may enact any law or action that the Emperor wishes, but, as a power-limiting measure, it may never be repealed (altered by Imperial Decree #221 (the first in Imperial history to be put to an Empire-wide referendum): an Imperial Decree may only be repealed with a unanimous vote of all divisions of the Two Houses AND the unanimous support of the Executive Council).
NOTE: Actually more than one nation; five paragraph limit doesn't apply.
Eredron (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Eredron), the Confederated Republic and Principalities of
Although the geographic region of Eredron has been populated by man for thousands of years, it was not until twelve hundred years ago that a distinct national entity arose on the Eredron mainland. Now known as the First Kingdom of Eredron, it was created by the uniting of the various tribes that inhabited the eastern coastline of Eredron by King Lehir. The First Kingdom lasted for approximately one hundred years, before disease left the empire in ruin; over seventy thousand people are estimated to have died, including King Lehir III.

The first great war in Eredron history arose approximately six hundred years ago, when Eredron colonists landed on the northern coast of Ariin and encountered the inhabitants of Ariin; a brief fight broke out, that led to the War of Supremacy. It was during this war that island of Ariin was declared a colonial possession of the then-Holy Republic of Eredron, with the Ariin government allowed to keep its position, with limited powers. Five hundred years ago, the Dominion and Principalities of Eredron was officially created. The Ariin government was forced to renounce any claims of sovereignty, and Ariin was forced to accept the Eredron Senate of Majorities as their Protector, with the Lord Consul Supreme acting as Lord Overseer.
Although minor independence movements continued to form for the next two hundred years, Ariin had largely been culturally assimilated by the end of the last century. The first Ariin senator was elected eighty-five years ago, although long-standing statutes prohibit anyone of Ariin descent to hold the position of Consul Supreme.
Today, the Confederated Republic now includes Eredron and four unincorporated principalities, and a growing faction calling for increased imperialism.
Essenia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=essenia), the Republic of
The Republic of Essenia, a relatively new nation, was founded by a group of settlers distressed over what they termed "capitalistic hate and imperialism". Its people swiftly moved to the Island of Free Freedom, where their ideals seemed to fit in. Taking a large stretch of land in between the Worker's Republic of Darranack and the Armed Socialist Republic of Militanar, they began the process of nation-building. Their philosophy is expressed acutely in Essenia's motto: "Peace And Justice For All Human Beings," the key world being all.
Some Militanarans thought the land was theirs, and the Government of Militanar, in a show of solidarity with the new nation, sold a long stretch of land in the far south of Militanar to Essenia. This, too, enraged many Militanarans, but the anger had no real effect on anything.
Essenia is a multiparty representative democracy, with a bicameral Parliament composed of the Senate and the Assembly. Both Houses of Parliament have 250 delegates. The Senate's delegates are elected from 250 districts re-formed every election to ensure equality of population. Senatorial elections are held using instant runoff voting. The Assembly's delegates are elected proportionally from party lists, allowing greater diversity of opinion than the Senate.
There are four major parties in Essenia: the Labor Party (left-libertarian), the Populist Party (left-authoritarian), the Libertarian Party (right-libertarian), and the Conservative Democratic Party (right-authoritarian). The UN classifies it as a Left-Wing Utopia, a classification that most citizens are proud of.
With the destruction of Essenia's embassy in the recent Militanaran riots, many challenges are expected to follow as Essenia's first major foreign policy venture - deposing the new rightist regime there - begins.
Euroslavia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=euroslavia), the United Freedom Forces of
It is the year 203 A.E currently (1 RL day= 1 NS year). Our calendar was changed to the creation of of our nation. In the year 135 B.E., persecuted Christians in the Balkan area were being mass exterminated. They decided to flee to what is now modern day Yugoslavia (the heart of Euroslavia). They banned together to form The People's Republic of Euroslavia. In a series of wars between the old republic of Greece and the people's republic of euroslavia, their freedom was threatened, but thanks to its new found allies, the Italians, they were able to repel the attacks, and the war ended around 2 B.E. The nation wasn't officially recognized until the year 1 A.E.
Since then, there have been a series of wars with the Croatians and Bosnians, and these countries were annexed into the Empire of Euroslavia. Peace was finally achieved between all three integrated nations around 100 A.E. and the name of the nation was changed to the United Freedom Forces of Euroslavia.
A revolution by former enemy Ulan Baator took place in 170A.E., in which a fake Sultan took the throne of Euroslavia, thus uniting both nations into a Communist Mongolian Empire. Euroslavia ceased to exist for the next 5 years, until it was freed from their rule by a coup d'etat put into effect by Euroslavia's former allies. Since 175A.E., Euroslavia has re-emerged as a world power, and continues to act as a mediator in many wars within a certain radius of the nation.
In the year 198 A.E., war was declared against the regions of GCON and A Corp for its foolish plan on destroying the UN. The war never actually occured, and a cooling off took place between all regions within the conflict. Relations were re-established with GCON in 201A.E. and the current President, Roger Lawrence, hopes that a final peace will come out of this. Euroslavia still maintains its Christian roots and is a powerful influence within its government.
The Evil Overlord (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=the_evil_overlord), the Dominion of
The Dominion is a large country located on the continent of Forlorn Hope- a continent the size of Antarctica in the central and south pacific. The entire country- including the citizen/shareholders- are all assets of an international corporation known as Evil Overlord Enterprises. EOE is wholly owned by the Evil Overlord, and all of the major government ministers are executives in the corporation.
Evil Overlord Enterprises closely resembles the old British East India Company. Trade is paramount, but EOE fields a massive military machine to ensure that trade remains free. The Dominion stays out of most international affairs (wars and the like), unless such incidents disrupt EOE trade. Even then, the Overlord prefers to use diplomacy and occasional intimidation rather than military force.
The Dominion is best described as a corporate autocracy. The Department of Internal Security watches everyone at almost all times, and citizen/shareholders are bar-coded and implanted with a bio-electric chip at birth. This makes the Dominion crime-free ... despite the fact that many things are illegal. Foreigners are not permitted within the Dominion- except at the Free-Trade Port of Amida Island- just off the southwest coast of Forlorn Hope. Any foreigners are automatically assumed to be spies, and any spies caught outside the confines of Freeport are usually summarily executed.
Despite the Overlord's isolationist tendencies, the Dominion is active in some international incidents- mainly disaster relief and international diplomacy. Several nations have embassies on Amida Island, despite the paranoid restrictions the Overlord places on such activity. The Overlord despises the so-called United Nations, and refuses to have any dealings with that organization.
Despite the lack of input in national politics and the severely-curtailed civil rights, would-be immigrants clamor for admittance to the Dominion, drawn by the high standard of living and exceptional health care. Prospective immigrants are required to undergo rigorous screening by the clinically paranoid Internal Security Department, and must also possess skills or knowledge EOE considers valuable.
Exonerate (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=exonerate), the Incorporated States of
The Incorporated States of Exonerate is a fairly new nation, that arose from a region of much strife and civil war. The current Enlightened Despot eventually united the region with a combination of diplomacy, manipulation, and military power. It has been 30 years since the establishment of Exonerate, and now possess a population of over 500 million people. The borders between various ethnic groups and cultures have all been dissolved, and now they stand united together.
Exonerate is generally classified as a Libertarian Police State, or Father Knows Best State. It is also a current member of the Kingdom of the Midlands, as well as being the Ground Commander of the Legion of Defense. [see also Legion of Defence]

The Gothic Underworld (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=the_gothic_underworld), the Constitutional Monarchy of
The Gothic Underworld is a young country initially named Atros, but rich in recent history. When it was first formed, the government tried to lead the country by the ideals of democracy, but the unruly people soon made a mess of the politcal situation. Faced with imminient collapse, Atros as a country needed a miracle, which it gets, but not quite in the way intended.
Around this time, a 2000-year old vampire, whose name was never quite known although there were rumors of his name being Louis. In any case, he saw that this young country needed a miracle, a supernatural blessing only one such as he could provide. In any case, what happened next came both as a blessing and a curse. With his small vampiric force, and his ability to charm mortals which is prized even amongst the undead, he wrested control of the government of Atros, and to the horror of many, imposed a military dictatorship. Many historians will come to denounce his move, but only he knew that this was neccessary to restrain the wild natures of the people of the defunct country of Atros, and prepare them for true democracy with responsibility.
Soon, the underground society of vampires had heard of the Vampire Revolution, and many migrated there, expecting the long-prophesied haven of the undead. But this was not what the leader-vampire, by this time known only as the King Vampire, wanted, for he knew what this would entail: a destruction of the society far outweighing the damage he caused in his quest for power. The Civil War of Atros thus started, and by the time it ended, the King Vampire was victorious, and he renamed the country of Atros the Gothic Underworld, for indeed, although he kept the evil vampires out, a small society of vampires with good hearts are allowed to remain.
The reeducation scheme launched by the King Vampire to reeducate the people the meaning of responsibility, took many years and resources, but in the end succeeded. Soon after, one of his human ministers, also a descendent of his when the King Vampire was still human, asked him to give up his power, for he has accomplised his purpose. The King Vampire agreed. However, the people of the Gothic Underworld, used to him for so many years, were not happy to see him go, and asked him to stay as a source of inspiration. Thus, a political deal was struck.
Today, the King Vampire still holds his position as head of state of the Gothic Underworld, but retains only power similar to that of the monarch of the UK. He still remains active in the affairs of the Gothic Underworld, pledging his substantial wealth to the development of military aircraft, which constitutes the main defence force in the nationstate today, and helping out in the matters of the region of South East Asia, where the country is now based. The King Vampire is also the creator of a proposal for a new council which may materialize into reality. Now the King Vampire wishes to bring the Gotic Underworld into the new frontier of international diplomatic society.
The Great Space Fleet (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=the_great_space_fleet), the Nomadic Peoples of
After the destruction of a great civilization, only a handful of people remained. All of them were in the remains of a fleet in the region of Deep Space.

Linthopia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Linthopia), the United Socialist States of
The newly formed nation of Linthopia is the product of a group of communists and socialists who left their old homes in the north pacific and moved to the newly discovered continent of New Scandinavia.
Four nations were formed, but after only one year, these nations entered a union and became the united socialist states of Linthopia.
Linthopia today has five states, since it was decided that the capital city Marx City needed its own state, since it wouldn't be fair if one of the other states got to have the capital.
Linthopia is a socialistic country, classified by the UN as "Liberal Democratic Socialists". The country is well known for hard laws against private enterprises (in practice, they are illegal), and a very liberal personal freedom and civil rights system.
The flag of the nation features a red background, representing the nations political standing, a hammer and sickle, symbol of communism, centered in the middle of the flag on top of a golden star. From each of the stars "arms", a strip of white goes out to the end of the flag, each strip representing a state.
The president is Vladmir Iltjivich, a russian-in-exile, and the prime minister Sandra Kelvan, a canadian socialist, and one of the few female prime ministers. All posts in the government are elected by the people, except the prime minister, who is elected by the parliaments (Linthopia has five parliaments, one per state, each with 379 members).

Sancto (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=sancto), the Holy Christian Republic of
Founded by five Christian refugees a long time ago, Sancto now boasts a growing population of over 500 million citizens - mainly Christian. The nation became pacifistic at the start because the refugees had a negative experience with a war that forced them to leave their original homeland. The nation put laws to prevent the persecution of non-Christians and had a great government system full of checks and balances.

San Texario (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=san%20texario), the Commonwealth of; Controlled Territories (CCT) of
A young nation, unified 108 years (from compiling of this information) ago.
... [Full Entry in NationStates Encyclopedia] (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2816739#2816739)
San Texario was partof Solarius for seven years, until it helped found the League of Small Nations with the Community (now known as the Topological Spheroid) of Zervok, and the United States of Citta Acqua. For the next thirtyfour years, they remained a figure of power in LSN. After the death of Tex Gruntis (I) in the year 37 AU, his son, Tex Gruntis II, ran for president, and won by a margin which was not kept in the history books. In the year 51 AU, a conflict engaged with GCON (Global Coalition Of Nations) which lasted two years. At this point, a second district area was founded, Articolia, and sent as a spy in GCON. At this time, the CCT became part of the Kingdom of the Midlands (see Kingdom of the Midlands)
Over the next thirty years (roughly), conflict went on and off with GCON. It was in the year 85 when the treaty was signed by San Texario. This was the year after Articolia revealed itself and re-united with San Texario.
Around the time of the first GCON conflict, Texco. Industries became an independant district. Also, fishing boats to collect food and make fres water in the sea were governed by themselves, but became part of the CCT.
In the year 86, the cities had expanded so much, that the nation became a large city. A large space/air port was created, and a wall and dome surrounded the entire CCT, as funds were gained by the selling of orbital satellites. Since this time, no major conflicts have happened.
Geography:
The CCT is a vast, desertous land outside the city. Inside, there are two rivers which have canals spreading out in rectangles to supply water. The wall surrounding has four gates, which all lead to the two freeways, and there are three gates at the space/airport, which open each into three docking bays (Bays six and seven house planes, and bay five houses air force fighters/bombers.). A plan is being created to dig underground in hopes of creating more living space, as well as finding minerals. Projects begin in thirteen years.
The Silver Turtle (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=the_silver_turtle), the Ineffable Imperial Dominion of
Once a small, beautiful nation in the South Pacific, The Silver Turtle is now a sprawling economic powerhouse near the north pole. It has been lead for countless years by The Great Ineffable Bob, who rose to power almost 300 years ago, and whose power has been increasing ever since. The Ineffable Empire now spans mulitple nations, with TGI Bob as its emperor. He also founded the infamous GDODAD and The Underwater Bubble, and currently also presides over the Coalition of Evil. The Silver Turtle remains the capital of The Ineffable Empire, with it's capital city containing a 7km square palace for the Emperor. The Silver Turtle's military force is one of the best in the world, and it has military ties with some of those even better than it. [see also Ineffable Iraq, Leda Colony, GDODAD]
Super American VX Man (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=super%20american%20vx%20man), the Militaristic Federation of
SAVX (as it is usually referred to as) is an old nation, with ancient histories going back for hundreds of years. However, until the year 736, the region that would become the nation was primarily inhabited by numerous bickering tribes and city-states. The people were united under Graz Mallad to ward off large invasions, and the people remained united since. This ancient heritage has held true to this day, as the people of SAVX are more militaristic than the average person, and are not afraid to fight for what they believe in.
The governmental structure has been revised numerous times, with different styles of economy and government being attempted but never quite succeeding. The current Constitution that dictates the nation was accepted in Jan 30, 1736. This document dictated that a lightly regulated form of capitalism would be used for the economy, that certain services--most notably education, defense, and law--would be controlled and funded by the government through mild taxation (OOC: Whatever the nation page says isn't the way things are really run; the tax rate only ranges from 5-25%, depending on the income bracket), that personal liberties would be upheld to the strictest degree, and that a democratically-elected ruler (the Führer, currently held by Hans Müller) would govern from the time of his/her election until his/her death. Should said ruler ever make choices that anger virtually all of the populace (requires a 95% approval), the Elite Civilian Guard would forcefully remove that leader from power, and the state military would not stand in the way. To this date, such an incident has only occured once, when Milo Cathcart was killed as a result of his resistance to the will of the people.
The geography of SAVX is varied; 25% of the land is desert/wasteland, and much of the rest is covered in at least semi-fertile land, with many luscious forests and wildlife preserves. Mountains encircle 32% of the borders, with 27% covered by sea. Three main rivers run through the nation, supplying most of what is needed for the populace. (OOC: Parts in italics for future-tech only) SAVX also has many land claims in space, mostly in the form of asteroids owned either by the government or the primary corporations. Numerous space stations also exist, with advances in hydroponics, nuclear reactors, and recycling methods allowing them to sustain vast quantities of life. The government also owns multiple, some more secret than others, depending on their purposes. Other small planets and moons are being explored and researched to see if they can support life with the aid of terraforming.
SAVX has numerous allies, with the most prominent being Euroslavia, Nanakaland, Exonerate, San Texario, CornixPes, Drakoniks (for whom we are the primary defense force), Witzgall, Icentom, and anyone else in the region of The Kingdom of the Midlands.
SAVX is also the parent nation of The Syntec Corporation. Storefront here (http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/toxicvalley/products.html).

Torontonias was originally a Federation of allied states, all striving to bring the latest in modern technological advancements to all of its peoples. Eventually a rift started to develop between the three nations. The Capitalist Society and the Space faring peoples banned together to force the Communist Society to disband and amalgamate into the new nation, which became the Capitalist Oligarchy simply because the majority of the government is controlled by the larger corporations of the Nation, although a small, community elected Senate still reigns on most of the big decisions made.
Torontonias is proud of its small, but rapidly growing space fleet that has already gotten them to Epsilon Prime, the new administrative center of the Nation.

Wormia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Wormia), The Federated Stellar Republics of
An expansive and large spacefaring civilization, based on similar principles to Earth Western Civilization. Wormia was founded on a planet not unlike Earth, following a fifth and rampantly devastating fifth world war that crippled planetary industry and demanded union between the nation-states that occupied it.
The Federated Stellar Republics of Wormia then entered an isolationist period to last the better part of two hundred years, during which countless social, political and technological reforms would take place. This was in part due to the destruction caused by the nuclear fifth global war, most infrastructure had been decimated and cross oceanic communication was unfeasible for approximately 75 years. When 150 years between Wormia's foundation and isolation had passed, the government underwent a severe reform transforming from a democracy to a beneficiary dictatorship.
Wormia retained its Parliament to serve as more of an advisory committee to the dictator. The people retained few political freedoms, with the exception of the power to oust the dictator and elect a new one should he be deemed unfit for leadership. This event has occurred once during the disastrous and corrupt reign of Nathaniel Torrent. This governing system is in effect today, and has been wildly successful. The current leader is the somewhat centered George Thomas IV.
Following 175 years of isolation, Wormian leaders began to contemplate re-emergence into the world, but the idea was constantly voted down for the next 36 years, when Wormia built and sent the Great Chrome Fleet to seek out and make contact with various spacefaring nations. The Chrome Fleet was wildly successful with species who could percieve chrome as it is, a difficulty not anticipated prior to the launch of the fleet.
Since then, Wormia has been involved in the Covenant Wars and a brief skirmish with pirates in Cyberutopian space.

The awe-inspiring Empire of Baron is a strong coalition of powerful nations who have similiar ideals, or at least have the same interests. The many economic, political and military structures and the combined resources of it's member-nations allow it to weild a large amount of power, which it uses to protect and defend its interests both within its own region and elsewhere in the world.
With Regional togetherness comes responsibility and through majority vote, the Empire of Baron have created various intra-regional and international watchdogs, aid organisations, intervention organisations and defence pacts.
Amongst these are Baron Aid, a gathering of several major governmental and non-governmental aid agencies for the distribution of aid in Baron and overseas; the Baron Counter Terrorist Taskforce which was created with the intention of providing adequate intelligence and rapid-reaction to a growing anti-Baron terrorist threat and the Baron intervention Taskforce which has the duty of performing military and humanitarian intervention within and without the Empire of Baron.
The Empire of Baron has survived internal and external conflict, including a nuclear exchange, and numerous disasters. Throughout these, the peoples of the nations of Baron have held out and helped each other in the spirit of friendship.

This region has many resources such as a perfect climate for growing crops, lush forests, gold, iron ore, and has a top notch technology."
TKotM is a place that has been hostile with the GCON (anti-UN region) and the A Corp (anti-UN terrorist organization). The GCON and A Corp are both allies.

The G.D.O.D.A.D.
The GDODAD, or Global Dominion Of Dictators Against Democracy is one of the oldest, greatest, and most powerful alliances in NS history. It is a military alliance of dictatorships, at its basic levels operating on a policy of collective defence. Most members are a dictatorship of some kind, be it a monarchy, an empire, or even just rigged elections. It is dedicated to defending dictatorships from attacks by foolish democracies, and it has an ultimate goal of one day ridding the world from the time-wasting practice of democracy. It has close ties with other alliances seen as "evil", such as Arda, The Reich and the UOHN. AT a peak, it had over 100 active members, although now there are probably only about twenty now. However, most of these are over 1.5 billion, with the most senior of them including the leader The Silver Turtle having populations of over 2 billion. It has a reputation for warmongering, but this is quite undeserved. Although it has been embroiled in three world wars, it started none of them. WWIV, WWV and WWVI were all started by the nations on the "good" side, with the express purpose of destroying The GDODAD.
Yet they all failed, with The GDODAD remaining as powerful as it ever was. It has its own set of off-site forums, located here (http://s2.invisionfree.com/Coalition_of_Evil/).

A Challenge to Lady Sirithril (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113029)
I want my nation in the national listings. Here's the discription:
The People's Republic of Carolina
When South Carolina became fed up with the way the United States of America was being led, they, for the 2nd time in history, seceded from the United States. Shortly after, their good friend and neighbor, North Carolina, also seceded, at the advice of South Carolina. The two former states combined to form the country of Carolina, which has currently yet to find a home that can hold all of its citizens. The elections for president were fierce, with South Carolina governor Mark Sanford and North Carolina governor Michael F. Easley facing off. After the final vote was counted, Governor Mark Sandford had won by 2 votes. Now, he plans to lead Carolina to national prominence.
Je-sus man, can't you put it all in one post?
No. There are limits to how much information you can put in one post. I'm planning ahead and leaving empty space.

The Freedom Experiment
A corrupt Nanakan general once established a nation in a barren wasteland. Harold Robertson hoped to found a country with absolute freedom - an anarchy as some may call it. General Robertson, along with several dozen other soldiers, founded the nation and called it The Freedom Experiment. The promise of absolute freedom and no restricting laws attracted many from places all over the world - and even from outside the earth! For more on background information and a Freedom Experiment RP, go here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=115811).
I've been doing some updating. Hopefully it isn't as empty as it was yesterday.

World Factbook Entry (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74313)
New Genoa was established as a small nation after it and its surrounding colonies won their independence from the Pacifican Empire in 1870. In 1899, these four independent nations sent delegates to a meeting in New Genoa, New Genoa where the tirelessly drafted a universal Constitution that they would all agree to comply to. However, growing unity among the people of these nations eventually pushed the delegates to go one step further: an amendment was added to the Constitution which read, "henceforth from this day on [May 1, 1899] the sovereign states of New Genoa, New San Marino, New Rome, and Blaine be united in an official Union to be known as the Free Republic of New Genoa..." Since the unification of the four nations, New Genoa has prospered to become an economic and civil rights powerhouse.

The Silver Turtle:
Once a small, beautiful nation in the South Pacific, The Silver Turtle is now a sprawling economic powerhouse near the north pole. It has been lead for countless years by The Great Ineffable Bob, who rose to power almost 300 years ago, and whose power has been increasing ever since. The Ineffable Empire now spans mulitple nations, with TGI Bob as its emperor. He also founded the infamous GDODAD and The Underwater Bubble, and currently also presides over the Coalition of Evil. The Silver Turtle remains the capital of The Ineffable Empire, with it's capital city containing a 7km square palace for the Emperor. The Silver Turtle's military force is one of the best in the world, and it has military ties with some of those even better than it.
Leda Colony:
An offshoot of The Silver Turtle, this was originally a small colony used to further the Ineffable Empire's space program. However, the small colony on Jupiter's smallest moon continued to grow, and now encompasses several of Jupiters inner moons, and has turned the rest into military bases. From here, the Ineffable Spacefleets make their small but just noticeable mark on conflicts in space, and also serve the empire providing back-up for ground wars. It also has a large mining sector, based nearby in the asteroid belt, along with shipyards protected by fighter fleets based in the belt.
Ineffable Iraq
Located, as the name suggests in Iraq, this is another territory of The Ineffable Empire. Formerly owned by Drum Gods, who seized the territory a while ago, after the collapse of the Drum Gods empire their allies the Ineffable Empire moved in to ensure the country didn't collapse in a power vacuum, and to, erm, protect the oil from bandits. Yes, that's it...protecting the oil...

The G.D.O.D.A.D.
The GDODAD, or Global Dominion Of Dictators Against Democracy is one of the oldest, greatest, and most powerful alliances in NS history. It is a military alliance of dictatorships, at its basic levels operating on a policy of collective defence. Most members are a dictatorship of some kind, be it a monarchy, an empire, or even just rigged elections. It is dedicated to defending dictatorships from attacks by foolish democracies, and it has an ultimate goal of one day ridding the world from the time-wasting practice of democracy. It has close ties with other alliances seen as "evil", such as Arda, The Reich and the UOHN. AT a peak, it had over 100 active members, although now there are probably only about twenty now. However, most of these are over 1.5 billion, with the most senior of them including the leader The Silver Turtle having populations of over 2 billion. It has a reputation for warmongering, but this is quite undeserved. Although it has been embroiled in three world wars, it started none of them. WWIV, WWV and WWVI were all started by the nations on the "good" side, with the express purpose of destroying The GDODAD.
Yet they all failed, with The GDODAD remaining as powerful as it ever was. It has its own set of off-site forums, located here (http://s2.invisionfree.com/forums/Coalition_of_Evil)

The Evil Overlord
27-01-2004, 18:27
Nation Listings
The Dominion of the Evil Overlord
The Dominion is a large country located on the continent of Forlorn Hope- a continent the size of Antarctica in the central and south pacific. The entire country- including the citizen/shareholders- are all assets of an international corporation known as Evil Overlord Enterprises. EOE is wholly owned by the Evil Overlord, and all of the major government ministers are executives in the corporation.
Evil Overlord Enterprises closely resembles the old British East India Company. Trade is paramount, but EOE fields a massive military machine to ensure that trade remains free. The Dominion stays out of most international affairs (wars and the like), unless such incidents disrupt EOE trade. Even then, the Overlord prefers to use diplomacy and occasional intimidation rather than military force.
The Dominion is best described as a corporate autocracy. The Department of Internal Security watches everyone at almost all times, and citizen/shareholders are bar-coded and implanted with a bio-electric chip at birth. This makes the Dominion crime-free ... despite the fact that many things are illegal. Foreigners are not permitted within the Dominion- except at the Free-Trade Port of Amida Island- just off the southwest coast of Forlorn Hope. Any foreigners are automatically assumed to be spies, and any spies caught outside the confines of Freeport are usually summarily executed.
Despite the Overlord's isolationist tendencies, the Dominion is active in some international incidents- mainly disaster relief and international diplomacy. Several nations have embassies on Amida Island, despite the paranoid restrictions the Overlord places on such activity. The Overlord despises the so-called United Nations, and refuses to have any dealings with that organization.
Despite the lack of input in national politics and the severely-curtailed civil rights, would-be immigrants clamor for admittance to the Dominion, drawn by the high standard of living and exceptional health care. Prospective immigrants are required to undergo rigorous screening by the clinically paranoid Internal Security Department, and must also possess skills or knowledge EOE considers valuable.

Magnus Valerius:
World Factbook Entry (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2628152&highlight=)
Magnus Valerius was once a land of squabbling petty kingdoms until a mysterious man named Valerian made the Kingdom of Vedus supreme. Vedus was renamed Valeria, and Valerian was sanctified by the church and people. On 1349, in the Common Era, all of the petty kingdoms were vanquished and absorbed, and The Crown Empire was born. Since then, Magnus Valerius developed into a massive nation with several colonies, with its influence as one of the most powerful nations in Kortania unquestionable. After a long period of isolation though, the country's current leader, Emperor Alexander I, wishes to bring the country out on the world stage. This meant modernization, imperialism, and diplomatic finesse.

The Gothic Underworld
28-01-2004, 17:22
I am new to RP, but i want to learn how to be part of this community, since it's likely that i might have to make an announcement from my region of South East Asia soon, so i'll like to learn the ropes.
For now, can i be listed here?
The Constitutional Monarchy of The Gothic Underworld
The Gothic Underworld is a young country initially named Atros, but rich in recent history. When it was first formed, the government tried to lead the country by the ideals of democracy, but the unruly people soon made a mess of the politcal situation. Faced with imminient collapse, Atros as a country needed a miracle, which it gets, but not quite in the way intended.
Around this time, a 2000-year old vampire, whose name was never quite known although there were rumors of his name being Louis. In any case, he saw that this young country needed a miracle, a supernatural blessing only one such as he could provide. In any case, what happened next came both as a blessing and a curse. With his small vampiric force, and his ability to charm mortals which is prized even amongst the undead, he wrested control of the government of Atros, and to the horror of many, imposed a military dictatorship. Many historians will come to denounce his move, but only he knew that this was neccessary to restrain the wild natures of the people of the defunct country of Atros, and prepare them for true democracy with responsibility.
Soon, the underground society of vampires had heard of the Vampire Revolution, and many migrated there, expecting the long-prophesied haven of the undead. But this was not what the leader-vampire, by this time known only as the King Vampire, wanted, for he knew what this would entail: a destruction of the society far outweighing the damage he caused in his quest for power. The Civil War of Atros thus started, and by the time it ended, the King Vampire was victorious, and he renamed the country of Atros the Gothic Underworld, for indeed, although he kept the evil vampires out, a small society of vampires with good hearts are allowed to remain.
The reeducation scheme launched by the King Vampire to reeducate the people the meaning of responsibility, took many years and resources, but in the end succeeded. Soon after, one of his human ministers, also a descendent of his when the King Vampire was still human, asked him to give up his power, for he has accomplised his purpose. The King Vampire agreed. However, the people of the Gothic Underworld, used to him for so many years, were not happy to see him go, and asked him to stay as a source of inspiration. Thus, a political deal was struck.
Today, the King Vampire still holds his position as head of state of the Gothic Underworld, but retains only power similar to that of the monarch of the UK. He still remains active in the affairs of the Gothic Underworld, pledging his substantial wealth to the development of military aircraft, which constitutes the main defence force in the nationstate today, and helping out in the matters of the region of South East Asia, where the country is now based. The King Vampire is also the creator of a proposal for a new council which may materialize into reality.
Now the King Vampire wishes to bring the Gotic Underworld into the new frontier of international diplomatic society.

Bariloche's entry for the national listings (you make the formatting :P ):
Bariloche, the Community of:
After a few decades of anarchy on what one day had been the territory of the Argentinian Republic, the people of the city of Bariloche and its inmediations started to spontaneously create communal groups of production.
With the passing of more than 50 years the relations became more complex and the territory involved covered more than two of what used to be argentinian provinces and even crossed the Andes involving several cities of the previously chilean territory.
When the population of all this areas exceded the 5 million inhabitants, and political estructures started to appear, a lider appear within the masses: Nicolás Bernal, he lead a movement that had as objective the creation of a government that would organize all the territory and with the passing of time create a direct democracy that would allow the communal structures to survive without the power falling in the hands of what could become to be a corrupt government.
Today, almost three generations after this events, the movement is still going and the current leader is Pablo Bernal (OOC: although my name is Pablo and my last name starts with B, Bernal is not my last name, I have just decided to have Bernal as my NS 'artistic' lastname :) ), Nicolás grandson is striving to reach a more participative democracy.
Bariloche has already more than 125 million inhabitants and has claimed territories beyond the original "de facto" borders. The economy is well, the government allowed all communal structures to continue, and the country has entered the international community by making alliances with other previously argentinian territories, entering the UN and also the Legion of Defense, in which (although still has Bariloche as a Protectorate) the Communal President and the now days representant Juan Ignacio Pereira have been very participative.

A few wars from my thread that should be included:
World War Three (Amerigan Slave War)
Archive: WWIII Archive (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30536&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)
Date: February 6, 2003 to February 21, 2003
Cause: The use of slaves by the nation of Amerigo.
Plot: The conflict began when the Republic of Syskeyia blockaded Amerigo for the latter country's selling of slaves. Soon theafter, anti-slaver nations, including Texarnica, Aerigia, Chimaea and Cucolo, joined in the blockade. Other, pro-slavery or pro-soverignty nations, inlcuding Melkor Unchained and The Water Cooler, sided with Amerigo and an undeclared naval war happened. There was one exception to this: the Empire of The Eternal Dawn. EOTED fought for neither side, but nontheless was involved; they fought an Intervention War, with small success, and parted the sides slightly for a brief period of time towards the end of the war - but only at sea. During this time, several attempts were made at peace, including Ineptia's unsuccessful attempt to buy all the slaves for emancipation, and an aborted peace conference at the port city of Liasa. Still, attempts at peace were made while forces escalated. Finally, Amerigo declared war on the blockading nations. Iesus Christi and the Reich struck first, initiating a campaign of terror thoughout the Pacific country. Soon therafter, join Syskeyian-Chimaean-Rastonian forces made their assault, stopping just short of the city of Jungle Falls. A kilotonne-range nuclear device is rumoured to have been let off in the Bay of Amerigo, towards the end of the war, either by EOTED or Tahar Joblis. It is unclear exactly which nation unleashed the nuclear weapon, although public opinion tends towards Tahar Joblissian usage.
Results: In the middle of the war, the Amerigan government fell (usually this means the end of the war, but oh well) and, after the Reich had sent all its troops (and numerous deported Amerigans) back to their shores, an Amerigan general seized power and abolished slavery as a program of Communism. The remaining anti-slavery forces subsequently withdrew.

Demonessian Civil War
Link: Demonessian Civil War (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1644&highlight=)
Date: December 26, 2002 to January 1, 2003
Cause: The Empress of Demoness (the now deceased Jia Li) is only allowed to marry a priest, but she fell in love with her High Guard, Xel Nedia, who became a priest in order to be with her. However, the Council of Twelve (leaders of the Church of Demoness) refused to ordain him, and in retaliation, Jia Li fled the country. From various locations, including Meganekkonia, she made transmissions declaring that the whole system of government was a sham. The Council wanted rule for themselves, which is why they would only let the Empress marry a priest, and that she would like to start a democracy, etc.
Plot: Jia Li sneaked back into the country and contacted Xel with her plan. Unfortunately, the Council declared her a liar and presented another woman as the real Empress. She turned out to be Hikari, Jia Li's twin sister who was supposedly dead (but had no claim on the throne anyway). In order to salvage her plan, Jia Li challenged Hikari to a duel for the leadership of the country. On the day of the duel, a shot was fired by an assassin from Polynesian Free States, and chaos broke loose. Jia Li fled with Xel into the Catacombs while the country disintegrated around them. Akbar, Raevyn, Xen, Darkskye, and a few other countries sent in troops to help control rioting, but in the confusion, they were mistaken for invaders and the Demonessians returned fire. Jia Li somehow managed to regain control of the country and normality was restored.
Results: Over 100,000 Demonessians died alone; other casualties are unknown. Demoness closed its borders for a week and after reopening them, the Demonessians' appearance changed to that of Asian elves. A breeding program was started and other drastic changes in policy were incurred. Hikari fled to PFS, whom she later helped invade Demoness. Jia Li and Xel were married.

All Elves Conflict
Archive: All Elves Conflict Archive (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41705)
Date: March 21, 2003 to April 17, 2003
Cause: A Nation of Elves was growing powerful, and they were pissing Melkor off. Old Rivalries.
Plot: Lord Melkor, wanting to test the mettle of his new Sky Furnaces, and eager to flaunt the increased battle prowess of his flagship carrier, the Gothmog, launched a pulverizing strike on the nation of All Elves. A total of 35 million troops [mainly Uruk Hai] were unleased on the unsuspecting nation, who, lacking international help, was quickly crushed under the grinding gears of Melkor's war machine. Contributing to the effort was a stellar Naval battle won by a coalition force of The Empire of Kalessin and The Orcish Horde. Melkor's Navy held off the EOTED Navy for the landings, and the Gothmog was crippled by the IDAS Raven and the IDAS Si Ling I, before the aft railgun popped a 3-ton incendiary shell into its bridge. The Sky Furnace Dor Daedoloth, then the only Gravship in Melkor's arsenal, displayed its true power by turning the city of Gondolin into a flaming, charred crater. Ever since the war, there have been irreparable blights and bogs around All Elves.
Results: All Elves is no more.

(http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7425&highlight=), Free Choice For the Elven Refugees? (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8762&highlight=)
Date: February 9, 2003 to February 15, 2003
Cause: The One Ring announces creating of concetration camps for elves.
Plot: Following Sauron's announcement, a loose coalition of nations including members of the Triumvirate of Yut, the Ctan, Cetaganda, EOTED, and Menelmacar formed to attempt to save the elves from the death camps. Other nations, most notably Kn-Yan and Melkor Unchained (in its first military engagement) sided with Sauron on the grounds that outsiders had no right to interfer. Initially a peaceful resolution was attempted, most notably in a conference aboard the Ctani carrier Killing Time. However, fighting soon broke out, and Melkor's delegation, lead by the Maia Alkanphel Ancalagon, attempted to destroy the ship. Killing Time was heavily damaged. Soon, an all-out air war was underway, with air superiority being narrowly held by the Allies. Major landings at the main camp of New Auschwitz were soon made by TYCS and Cetagandan forces. The camp garrison was caught unawares, and in the ensuing the camp was taken with light Allied casualties. The Allied forces then formed a defensive line around the camp while massive air campaign was launched. Heavy fighting began as the airlift continued, with Melkor's forces leading the effort to retake the camp. After the camp was evacuated, Allied forces quickly withdrew and began to make plans to take other secondary camps. However, before this occured, the One Ring detonated an IGNORE weapon on itself, ending the conflict.
Results: Several million elves were succesfully rescued, although estimates put the death toll as high as a million. Included in these refugees were several thousand children that were sent to the Empire of Kalessin by Koania, which had been supporting the Allied effort. Concern over these children lead to a confence between the involved nations. Inspection delegations were sent by Kn-Yan and Cetaganda. The official reports say that nothing was wrong. An unofficial Cetagandan report says otherwise; the Kn-Yan delegation's leader died mysteriously. While the issue has ended for most nations, there are rumors that Cetaganda has a delegation meeting with Prince al Vvishak of Kalessin regarding the children, first at his palace and now at Orm Embar.

It is 5 paragraphs......count again. Anyway, just draw out the more important points at your own discretion if you want to.
You have five lengthy paragraphs. Keep your description brief. Create a world factbook entry if you want detail.
Fine. I'll allow you two to keep your entries. However, if I run low on space, expect it to be edited.
Bariloche's entry for the national listings, I think this is about the right size (I didn't really modify it much but...). If you expect to have many nations listed you should start another topic and reserve one post for each starting letter.
I'll do that if this idea really takes off.

Sancto, the Holy Christian Republic of and
Sancto Minor, the Colony of
Founded by five Christian refugees a long time ago, Sancto now boasts a growing population of over 500 million citizens - mainly Christian. The nation became pacifistic at the start because the refugees had a negative experience with a war that forced them to leave their original homeland. The nation put laws to prevent the persecution of non-Christians and had a great government system full of checks and balances. For more information on Sancto, click here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=89364).
Meanwhile, the government made a colony out of nearby land which prospered and grew in size to almost the size of the motherland. The colony is named Sancto Minor and is important in spreading Sancto's influence. For more on Sancto Minor, click here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90348).

Euroslavia
08-02-2004, 22:14
Euroslavia:
It is the year 203 A.E currently (1 RL day= 1 NS year). Our calendar was changed to the creation of of our nation. In the year 135 B.E., persecuted Christians in the Balkan area were being mass exterminated. They decided to flee to what is now modern day Yugoslavia (the heart of Euroslavia). They banned together to form The People's Republic of Euroslavia. In a series of wars between the old republic of Greece and the people's republic of euroslavia, their freedom was threatened, but thanks to its new found allies, the Italians, they were able to repel the attacks, and the war ended around 2 B.E. The nation wasn't officially recognized until the year 1 A.E. Since then, there have been a series of wars with the Croatians and Bosnians, and these countries were annexed into the Empire of Euroslavia. Peace was finally achieved between all three integrated nations around 100 A.E. and the name of the nation was changed to the United Freedom Forces of Euroslavia. A revolution by former enemy Ulan Baator took place in 170A.E., in which a fake Sultan took the throne of Euroslavia, thus uniting both nations into a Communist Mongolian Empire. Euroslavia ceased to exist for the next 5 years, until it was freed from their rule by a coup d'etat put into effect by Euroslavia's former allies. Since 175A.E., Euroslavia has re-emerged as a world power, and continues to act as a mediator in many wars within a certain radius of the nation. In the year 198 A.E., war was declared against the regions of GCON and A Corp for its foolish plan on destroying the UN. The war never actually occured, and a cooling off took place between all regions within the conflict. Relations were re-established with GCON in 201A.E. and the current President, Roger Lawrence, hopes that a final peace will come out of this. Euroslavia still maintains its Christian roots and is a powerful influence within its government.

The fall of the Rudavi Imperial Empire during the end-days of the long and bloody Rudavia Civil War marked the beginning of a new era for Rudavia. Soon a Government came into existance for the soul purpose of Defending, Protecting, Listening, Answering and Obeying the People which live in it. They soon held a National Vote, which then brought forth the United Socialist States of Nodea Rudav. Henceforth Nodea Rudav now stands for the Freedom and Independence of Every Nations People.
The Great Space Fleet, the Nomadic Peoples of
After the destruction of a great civilization, only a handful of people remained. All of them were in the remains of a fleet in the region of Deep Space. They traveled as homeless nomads in the deep of space for many years. In Deep Space (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96019), the Fleet discovered a derilict fleet. However, the GSF incountered the Deep Space Pirates. Soon, several other nations got involved and the situation exploded. In the end, the pirate fleet got destroyed and the leader imprisoned in The Great System.
Recently, the Deep Space Pirates have become active again and more battles are expected. Click here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96019) for the RP that gives the entire background.

We have a very active forum, a website with regional and national statistics, a map (which you get to be on) and every nation entering The New Europe gets appointed a population (to make it fair for everyone, we can't have 5 million-nations fighting against 2 billion-nations, can we?).
On the forum, most nations are still taking care of their own history and the development of their nation, but tensions might start to grow quickly. War is on its way to The New Europe...

The Riverlands
14-03-2004, 09:33
It appears that there is no information regarding our proud nation. Perhaps you could be so kind as to add the following:
The Riverlands, The consitutional monarchy of,
General information:
The Riverlands is a nation which strives to promote civil rights, environmentalism, liberty, peace and prosperity. The majority of its citizens are Christian, but nevertheless there is no official state-religion. Instead, all religions are treated equally by the state. Its government invests heavily in education and as a result, many of its young citizens attend university. The only noticable result of the predominance of Christianity is the use of the Christian dating system that uses the approximate date of the birth of Christ as the start of year one.
The Riverlands' population speaks a variant of English, although in some regions other dialects are also spoken.
The Riverlands is nominally a constitutional monarchy, but in truth power lies with its parliament and the prime minister and his council of ministers. Although the monarch has the right to ask for special powers during a state of emergency (such as the right to command troops in times of war) these special powers can never be extended for more than 1 year and have to be approved by the prime minister, his council of ministers as well as both houses of parliament. (Except when there is an emergency of such magnitude that there can be no vote.)
The Riverlands is renowned for its beer and its art.
History:
Over 1000 years ago, in 777, most of the territory that is now part of The Riverlands was fought over by various city-states. The most powerful of these city-states was the port of Denea. Denea became involved in a dispute over access to foreign markets and was forced to blockade the ports of Rodonon and Tarhelen in an attempt to secure access to these foreign markets as Denea was dependent on them for its food supply. When this didn't help, Denea mounted a full scale assault and both city-states were overrun. The city's chief administrator, chairman Jan van Denea, was asked to become ruler of the Principality Denea, which would comprise Denea, Rodonon and Tarhelen. It is this prinicipalty which forms the heart of present-day The Riverlands.
Between 777 and 1477, the prinicipalty fought numerous wars, mostly initiated by outside forces who envied its wealth and its power. Defending its sovereignty with its impressive military might resulting from its economic power, the prinicipality ended up growing by subjugating all of its attackers. Its fleet and its cavalry proved to be superior to the forces of those who opposed Denea. In 1477, the principalty had grown several times over, and comprised most of the territory that is modern-day The Riverlands. In that year, prince Eric III was asked to accept the honour of becoming king of The Riverlands, as that was chosen to be the new name of the principality. Eric III accepted, on the condition that the day of his crowning would become a national holiday for all citizens and would be for all eternity. As a result, the 18th of July is even now a holiday for all citizens.
From 1755 onwards, The Riverlands' economy expanded drastically, first switching to water- and wind-powered factories, later to steam powered factories mainly producing fabrics. The Riverlands was fortunate in having large coal and iron-ore deposits in its southern provinces. However, Tyrhennia envied The Riverlands' prosperity, and invaded in 1852. In a bloody war which lasted the better part of a decade, Tyrhennia managed to reach the capitol of The Riverlands, Denea, but was eventually defeated by 1851. This time, Tyrhennia was annexed and became a province of The Riverlands. Tyrhennia was punished for its violent history by not being represented in parliament (until 1955) and taking a back-seat when it came to economic development. As a result, even today Tyrhennia is still largely unspoilt forests and there are even a few of its famous marshes left.
Ever since 1851, The Riverlands has been able to stay neutral in all regional and global conflicts, often resulting in it profiting from trade with both sides in times of war.
In 1995, prime minister William G. Stuart was elected. His administration focuses on maintaining the prosperity of The Riverlands while simultaneously improving the environmental situation. One key element of his policy has been the increase in funding of all universities and the founding of the Riverlands Institute For Advanced Applied Science, (RIFAAS), which was instrumental in key research projects such as fusion power research.
In 2001, The Riverlands completed the first working fusion power station. Ever since, fusion power has begun to replace burning fossil fuels as the main source of energy.
In 2003, King William 8th died, together with his wife, in a tragic shipwreck off the coast of The Riverlands. After the state funeral and a week of mourning, Princess Tianna was crowned in front of the assembled 2 houses of parliament. Ever since she has reigned as Queen Tianna the First of The Riverlands.

When this didn't help, Denea mounted a full scale assault and both city-states were overrun. The city's chief administrator, chairman Jan van Denea, was asked to become ruler of the Principality Denea, which would comprise Denea, Rodonon and Tarhelen. It is this prinicipalty which forms the heart of present-day The Riverlands.
Between 777 and 1477, the prinicipalty fought numerous wars, mostly initiated by outside forces who envied its wealth and its power. Defending its sovereignty with its impressive military might resulting from its economic power, the prinicipality ended up growing by subjugating all of its attackers. Its fleet and its cavalry proved to be superior to the forces of those who opposed Denea. In 1477, the principalty had grown several times over, and comprised most of the territory that is modern-day The Riverlands. In that year, prince Eric III was asked to accept the honour of becoming king of The Riverlands, as that was chosen to be the new name of the principality. Eric III accepted, on the condition that the day of his crowning would become a national holiday for all citizens and would be for all eternity. As a result, the 18th of July is even now a holiday for all citizens.
From 1755 onwards, The Riverlands' economy expanded drastically, first switching to water- and wind-powered factories, later to steam powered factories mainly producing fabrics. The Riverlands was fortunate in having large coal and iron-ore deposits in its southern provinces. However, Tyrhennia envied The Riverlands' prosperity, and invaded in 1852. In a bloody war which lasted the better part of a decade, Tyrhennia managed to reach the capitol of The Riverlands, Denea, but was eventually defeated by 1851. This time, Tyrhennia was annexed and became a province of The Riverlands. Tyrhennia was punished for its violent history by not being represented in parliament (until 1955) and taking a back-seat when it came to economic development. As a result, even today Tyrhennia is still largely unspoilt forests and there are even a few of its famous marshes left.
Ever since 1851, The Riverlands has been able to stay neutral in all regional and global conflicts, often resulting in it profiting from trade with both sides in times of war.
In 1995, prime minister William G. Stuart was elected. His administration focuses on maintaining the prosperity of The Riverlands while simultaneously improving the environmental situation. One key element of his policy has been the increase in funding of all universities and the founding of the Riverlands Institute For Advanced Applied Science, (RIFAAS), which was instrumental in key research projects such as fusion power research.
In 2001, The Riverlands completed the first working fusion power station. Ever since, fusion power has begun to replace burning fossil fuels as the main source of energy.
In 2003, King William 8th died, together with his wife, in a tragic shipwreck off the coast of The Riverlands. After the state funeral and a week of mourning, Princess Tianna was crowned in front of the assembled 2 houses of parliament. Ever since she has reigned as Queen Tianna the First of The Riverlands.

A few facts on the People's Republic of Kay Son:
Government:
The People's Republic of Kay Son is a hybreed democracy broken up into two components as dictated by the Kanabian Treaty. The Military retains 4 seats on the Junta (the Executive Branch of PRKS's government) with the 4 other seats reserved for civilians. The Speaker of the Junta is elected every 4 years. As for the Legislative Branch, there are two branches: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Those whom serve in the House of Commons are elected every 2 years and are called Representatives. Those whom serve in the House of Lords are called Senators and are elected every 4 years. The Military retains the right to declare military law only if a party within the two branches gains sweeping power. The Judicial Branch is independent of the Legislative and the Executive with the lowest tier known as the Civil Court and the highest known as the High Court. The Military retains the right in the Judicial Branch to meet out any punishment they seek to convicted criminals.
Everyone above the age of 16 is allowed to vote upon identification of one's identity or service in the military.
Those on the age of 16 are required to register for the draft and serve a minimum of 6 years of schooling/training.
Regions:
Kay Son is a small island continent in the Trinity Sea. The island itself can be divided into three parts: the Northern Forest, the Midland Deserts, and the Southern Plains. Politically, culturally, linguistically, and socially the island is divided into two regions: the north and the south. The South has roots with the Cay Suhn Sect. The North has roots with the T'sing T'sau. However, due to the Revolution and rise of the T'sing T'sau, most of the people in the south speak T'sing T'sau rather than Cay Suh. The only area in which Cay Suhn is respected as the major culture and language is in the Zhang Tao Penninsula, which acted as a sovereign nation due to it being isolated in the Revolution. It should be mentioned that much of the industry is located in the north while the south is dependent on shipping.
Climate
Much of the climate in the north is cold and nippy during the winter/fall, humid in the summer, wet in the spring. It is either cold in the winter or wet in the summer for the south. For the belt, it is mostly arid all year long with the exception of winter storms.
-> Happy?
Kay Son, your post is too long.

Athamasha
24-04-2004, 02:00
Athamasha, The Flaxen Community of
A relatively old but fairly isolated nation devoted to pursuing internal perfection. Athamashan politics have been dominated by the Socialist Party since the nation's conception, although other parties certainly have had no small effect on the process of the Community. The name "Flaxen Community" reflects the ideological bent of the nation: Flaxenism, a home-grown philosophy based around older Neo-Sydicalist thought. The Community has an avowedly pacifist nature and absolutely refuses to participate in any armed conflicts unless attacked, in which case it will use its titanic nuclear arsenal. Athamashans come in a few different ethnic groups which have remarkably managed to attain a fair level of coöperation and unity despite their disperate origins.
Athamasha's UN Affairs Office also currently serves as the delegate for The Mediterranean.
The geography of the Community is fairly monotonous: flat, green parkland surrounding a few titanic cities. Despite the size of each city, no city actually has any power whatsoever, the whole government is run by Unitary Voting.
Famous Athamashans include Lev Feinstein, Flaxenist philosopher, Jane Gallagher, chair of the Socialist Party for dozens of years, Michael Horowitz, Free Democrat leader and acclaimed writer, Prc. Usao Pastecxoj, leader of the armed forces of Athamasha, and Rectorius Turris, creator of the Athamashan legal system.
Ongoing battles within the country include attempts to cut taxes and crime while deciding whether to remain isolated or branch out.

Adderton, The Dominon of
A quaint and small country, it was mainly settled by two waves of immigrants: the Sang Saus and the Aboriginies. The Sang Saus settled along the coastal areas with the Aboriginies holding the desert areas. Several centuries passed with these two factions never really growing a good liking to each other until the rise of Chief Wiggin Watts, whom brokered the Treaty of Charleston Cliffs, which helped to establish the Dominion of Adderton.
Since that treaty, several changes have taken place within the country. The Aboriginies have switched from herding only mustangs to cows, thereby creating a ranching industry that gave a mighty boom to Adderton's economy. The Althing has evolved to the Parliment, with the House of Lords changed to the Barony House, in order to accomodate with the pace of the modern day. A system of railroads was established in the interior of the country in order to link up the two coastlines as one national econmy. There also has been a growth within the Aboriginie community as several wealthy ranchers and railroad barons founded the frameworks of the Union Party, which currently holds the majority in Parliment.
Adderton, I already have you listed. This Super Thread shares relevant articles with the encyclopedia.
The same goes for Athamasha.

The Zoogie People
09-05-2004, 18:44
Zoogiedom (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=the_Zoogie_People), the Free Lands of.
A nation that arose from nothing, Zoogiedom today is an environmentally beautiful and stable in the region known as the Isles, with a peaceful government and formidable arsenal.
The Zoogies were once a people, that arose in the darkest of ages through the wisdom of a man named Beaufort, for which our most famous army base today is named. As the region around us was smothered in wars and corruption, Beaufort attempted infiltration by secretly putting the people of the Zoogies into positions of power. The Zoogies would fall, however, and were driven from influence. They would dwell in the Feral Lands, silent, isolated, and unknown. Then the Great Wars came, and havoc was wrought from every direction. The evil empire of Skurven sought for aid from its allies in the South, and an army two hundred thousand strong marched to their aid. Their fate was sealed, however, for their path traversed the feral lands, and none would leave those lands alive. This brought forth the Zoogies into prominance again; two hundred and thirty six years after the conclusion of the Great Wars, the Zoogies leader Beaushene decided to resettle into the kingdoms around the feral lands and respread their influence.
What Beaushene did not know was that the two century long peace was stretching thin. Tensions were at a breaking point, and when the Zoogies suddenly reappeared on the scene, all hell broke lose and the continent was engulfed in war. The Zoogies would survive, and be recognized as a nation in the feral lands. Yet peace once again could not last; hundreds of years later, tension from the South would lead the continent into war once more, led by Lord Ithruck, determined to crush the Zoogies. The bloodiest of wars dragged on for a decades, but at last the entire island-continent and its surrounding islands were united, under one banner, the banner of Zoogiedom.
Nearly a thousand years of peace and tranquility followed, with movements like the Renaissance striking Zoogiedom before it struck Europe, and lasting longer. Democracy was introduced in the early 1600s, and Zoogiedom prospered. In the 1960s, however, a facist leader overtook the reins of Zoogiedom and plunged the nation into the darkest times it had known since its inception. Rampant spending, deprivation of rights, psychotic rule, and a much too overstretched military put the nation into a Dark Period. After just over twenty years, however, civil war erupted and within three years the country's order was restored with an interim liberatarian government. After this, the Socialists took over as the elected government for nearly two decades, with attempted yet slow and ineffective reforms. Spending was often rampant, and the military often overstretched. Only recently, when Cherub Party member William Ciel Fontair was elected, did Zoogiedom restore itself to its former glory.
Today, Zoogiedom is still a prosperous and succesful nation under the Cherub party, and is not often engaged in wars. It is a member of many alliances, most notably its regional Zoogie Isles pact, the Legion of Defense, IADF, the Organization of Maritime Powers, the League of Hanseatic States, and the newly-formed Council of Air Powers. Civil and military technology have advanced greatly, and the future is bright. Zoogiedom is still very mindful of its ancient past, however, and to this day many citizens refer to it as populi zoogilarum - The Zoogie People.

Byach, Republic of
Byach is a small, progressive nation. It has evolved thrroughout its years from tiny nation of 5 million to a large nation of 20 million.
It all started in 1206, when a small group of people of all races tried to get out of the ghettos of Chicago, Illinois. When they could not, they decided to form their own country. There were given a small island from the Ivory Coast. When they arrived, they made a vow that they would never let corruption get to them like it got to the United States. Byach still tries to live by that rule to this day.
Today, Byach has an very good economy and many civil rights. We are ruled by a dictator, but political rights are slowly being introduced.
Bohravia
20-05-2004, 03:02
Bohravia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/68705/page=display_nation/nation=bohravia), The Republic of
Bohravia is a small nation with a long and chequered history. Its monarchy was established in the 10th Century AD and ruled for the most part by benign rulers who sought to bring peace and prosperity to the land. The kingdom maintained its sovereignty for nearly a millenia. However by the mid-19th Century a republican sentiment had begun to entrench itself in the national psyche of the Bohravians. These tensions rose to boiling point at the turn of the 20th Century, when the monarchy was ousted in a popular uprising and a republic proclaimed in its place.
It was a difficult transition for the country, but one it nevertheless weathered with dignity and optimism. The outbreak of WWI proved a test of character, but the nation chose to remanin neutral. Postwar growth was briefly offset by the Depression, but a socialist-minded government solved this by nationalising industry and keeping the nation going.
World War Two came and went (again Bohravia maintained neutrality and thus her sovereignty) but the nation was at a crossroads, for the world was now divided between the capitalist West and the Communist bloc. To allay fears of 'The Red Menace', the newly-elected conservative government imposed a new Constitution which outlawed the Communist Party and its allies. A nationwide witch-hunt ensued, and many of the nation's Communist figures were rounded up and imprisoned.
The first 20 years of the Cold War saw Bohravia desperately forge close ties with the West, but its geographical isolation and lack of 'importance' ensured it had to go it alone for the most part. Although the Communist Party had been banned on paper, there were still many Reds in the country organising themselves to seize the country in a coup with, they hoped, Soviet assistance. On the other side, the suppression of the Communists had allowed for a proliferation in fascist and other right-wing groups, who too had designs on seizing power.
In the wake of the Czech uprising of 1968, the Communists hoped to take advantage of the Soviet bloc's devotion to its cause and thus stormed Bohravia's cities. The democratic government resigned, its members fled the country and soon the conflict spiralled into all-out civil war between the Communist and Fascist factions.
For nearly four years the conflict gripped the nation, with the Fascists watering down the hardline aspects of their ideology in order to appeal to the masses. However both sides were in fact stalemated, and in mid-1973 the warring factions declared a ceasefire. But because the UN or Bohravia's neighbours were not heavily involved in the country's reconstruction period, they turned a blind eye to a shock merger between the Bohravian Communist Party and the fascists' National Socialist Party of Bohravia - thus creating the United Socialist Party (USP).
The new party swept to power in the elections (almost certainly rigged by the USP) with Anatoly Bartowjak, a former university lecturer and major in the armed forces, elected as President. He soon imposed his mark upon the nation by nationalising crucial industries, purging his party of Communist influences, banning other political parties, imposing a new constitution curtailing the people's rights and generally reshaping the nation into a totalitarian police state. He bestowed upon himself the title of General and adopted the name 'Anbar', an amalgam of his first and last names. He has ruled the country with an iron fist ever since, virtually imprisoning the Bohravian people in their own land.
Despite the widespread fall of communism, Bohravia survives as a self-styled anticommunist bulwark. Despite mass pleas from the international community over the years, the UN still refuses to impose sanctions upon this most repressive and autocratic of dictatorships.

Kusan, Democratic Republic Of
The Democratic Republic of Kusan is a very technologically advanced nation in North America. Kusan is a relatively new nation in North America, but is growing more influential and powerful with every passing day. Kusan dominates the Information Tech. Sector in North America as well.
The Kusani military is one of the most advanced in the region. While it may not be as large as compared to some other nations in North America, the training and equipment is some of the best in the region. The Kusani Navy has some of the most powerful carriers in the region, the Kusani Army is centered on the M1A3 Main Battle tank, and the Air Force is growing by leaps and bounds with the introduction of the F/A-22B Raptor II. Kusan maintains a limited number of nuclear weapons, but is actively trying to keep such weapons in small numbers.
Political and civil freedoms are held dear to the people of Kusan. The people are a peace loving population of 700 million citizens. The people are free to do what they want, when the want, however they want. The nations boarders are always open to any and all people who whish to come to Kusan to call it home, or if you just want to spend the night. You will always be welcomed with open arms and a seat at the dinner table.

It has become a sturdy nation, with a reasonable economy. Civil rights are generally not seen as important as prosperity, though the government is gradually becoming more tolerant as a result of the pending application to the United Nations. Still, morality takes precedence and morals are strongly upheld in this country.
Scullers
02-06-2004, 05:46
The Rogue Nation of Scullers is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Scullers's national animal is the renegade and its currency is the gold bullion.
The leader doesn't have a real name, as his parents did not love him enough to bestow a true moniker upon him. However, he is presently going by the symbol "1x" which stands for a single-man boat in sculling, a type of a rowing with two oars instead of one.
The nation of Aust was started, several hundred years ago by a group of Bandits looking for a home, they started a nation, named it after their leader JAmes Austin, and gradually the Empire of Aust grew into a huge state.
It's first Large activity was in a war between Candian 145 and Australlian on Candian side. After that it joined GDODAD in n their 3rd uprising and took part in several conflicts rising to become the 2nd in command of their intelligance devision.
The old Emporer was overthroand Emporer Justian was appointed, he left GDODAD and made an Allince with Credonia that lasted for many years through several Emporers. Aust took part in many Wars at that time against Terrorist Agents including the first HLF war.
Recntly Emporer James was killed by a decendent of the old kings who has plunged Aust into 4 wars in as many weeks. Most recently, he ordered the annalation of Nuevo Kowloon whpo had descovered, through the true heir to the throne, what had really happened to the old Emporer. The entire nation of Nuevo Kowloon was completly destoryed. In retallliantion an allince of Phyrric, Tiwan and many others includng former ally Credonia invaded, but Aust managed to survive and repeled the invaders despit losing several million men in the effort, the enermy forced to attackl through Battle ridge lost far more.
The Austian populatuion is 2.6 billion and is ruled by Emporer Palpatine.
Doomduckistan
03-06-2004, 01:27
The People's Republic of Doomduckistan-
The People's Republic of Doomduckistan (locally known as Huevz Plotopo Waablotaapazo as it could be rendered in latin characters) is a small, pictureque nation with a tiny but growing population. Originally it was just a slightly organized rebellion against a tyranncial dictatorship, but eventually the leaders of the freedom fighters grew united and began to plan for the future- thus, Doomduckistan was born. Partially an Island Nation, its territory problems were solved when it expanded into the southeast shore of the Continent of Niftyonia, where it enjoys a warm temperate climate for all 6 of its districts.
Despite the ominous name, Doomduckistan is a true people's republic, to a point. Traditionally peaceful, Doomduckistan's policies have taken a nationalistic, expansionist and authoritarian twist due to the increased popularity of the Freedom Party, but compared to other countries politics, Doomduckistan is a very mild place- there are only 6 parties that get ANY significant vote whatsoever and all of them are pretty similar except for a few differences.
Crime is a officially a problem, but the government is cracking down on that. Political Freedoms are seen as a nice thing, but not nice enough to compromise national security or trying to enact major (unwanted) changes on the government. Civil Rights, on the other hand, are viewed in a more favorable light and are adequate.
Doomduckistan prides itself on its unique culture, and though English is accepted for use and is an official language, many push for increased literacy and fluency in one of the four semi-mutually intelligible dialects of Tespatraa.
The current leader of Doomduckistan is Emperor Moises Munivez of the Freedom Party, who, despite the name, has no more power than a President. Both the Senate and House of Representatives are very tenuously dominated by the Haakuje ("Conservative") Party.

I'd like to submit the well-known Melkor Wars... a lot of bitching, but a big war of NS nevertheless
Cause: Melkor invades Eris Kallisti which really sparked the war -- though Melkor left Eris soon after, a brutal war of varying reasons would ensue. A Pantera-Melkor rivalry sprung up and led to war...
Plot: Pantera invades Melkor and suffers heavy losses making a landing. War turns into a bitchfest. Pantera leaves NS temporarily for OOC reasons. Angelus takes over as the new head of the now UTP-led coalition against Melkor. A naval (big contributors being Omz222 and Ur an ass) and air battle ensues along with a whole lot of OOC bitching. Allied forces make little to no progress. Several nations attempt to stage a ground invasion. The first nation being Europa Brittannia -- this invasion failed. Next, New Genoa made a naval landing with some 50,000 Marines. A fierce battle ensued, the New Genoans temporarily sending the Uruk-hai into retreat. Melkorian allies arrive to reinforce Melkor's troops. Melkor and allies pound the New Genoese battle line from both sides -- Marines obliterated. Over 175,000 Orcs died, several thousand Melkorian allied troops, and 50,000 New Genoans. At the same time Automagfreek stages a space invasion... the war fizzles out after a whole lot of bitching.

The Australian Republic (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/90205/page=display_nation/nation=the_australianrepublic), The Federation of
In November 1999, Australia held a nationwide referendum to determine whether it should become a republic with its own head of state.
(All history up to here is RL Australian history; from this point onwards it's all fictional)
According to the final poll results a solid 60% voted in favour of ditching the Queen of England as head of state, thus becoming a republic. The nation cheered and celebrated like never before. At last the country had rid itself of the final vestiges of its colonial past and won full, unquestioned nationhood. On New Year's Day 2000, the Federation of the Australian Republic was officially declared.
The republic's first few months were absolutely hectic - revising the Constitution, getting rid of the old flag and British imperialist symbols etc. - but well worth the trouble. The first republican government caused a stir by finally doing what no other goverment had done and publicly apologised to the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders for 'the stolen generation'. The issue split the populace right down the middle as it had done before, but the government was unrepentant over the decision.
The Sydney 2000 Olympics were staged without a hitch, an unparalleled success (as in RL :wink: ) that firmly placed the country on the world stage once again.
In truth nothing radical has really gone down in the new, republican Australia...everything's pretty much the same: the capital's still Canberra, people still love a good beer, cricket's still the national sport(although soccer is on the rise)...yep, eveything's pretty much just as it ever was. Except no Union Jack on the flag.
I wonder how come nobody's mentioned my war with Melkor. Now that was a nice matchup, I was just a bit overmatched. I was sick of all these people hatin' on me saying I had no chance. Because really I did and I didn't even lose. A bit too many orc magicians for my liking though.

Nilfgaard is a strong nation founded by philosophers attempting to create a scientific-philosophical utopia on Earth. It was founded by a powerfull organization called the "Order of Humanity" in the year 1000 (which is where Nilfgaard's calendar starts). Over time Nilfgaard became and economic and millitary power to be reckoned with. Nilfgaard is very democratic but at the same time highly conservative and centralized.
The Holy Empire of Nilfgaard is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A substantial private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Retail and Automobile Manufacturing.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nilfgaard's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the credit.

It's probably due to the change-over to Jolt, but none of the links in this thread seem to be functioning.

New Scotistan

The formation of New Scotistan has brought joy to our noble people - long live the Republic of New Scotistan! Rumours that our revolution was not peaceful are denied and are the propaganda of Imperialist enemies of the people. The dove of peace is an abiding symbol of our republic.
We are aware that hostile powers may intend to cut us off economically, so our Revolutionary Council is intent on fostering the best international relationships with likeminded states. Our glorious Ned Army is necessary to defend our borders as some neighbours have sought to dispute our borders!
The 5 year plan of alcohol production is ahead of schedule, and the People's Pint has brought joy to the nation and forms one of our major exports! Free public transport has reduced congestion in our cities and healthcare is also free for all comrades. Nationalisation of private industry is well under way, and our collective agriculture policy is producing radical results.
Anglo-Prussian Estonia

My nation, Anglo-Prussian Estonia, has very little experience in international affairs. This is partly due to the fact that the population voted to remain as isolationist as possible until domestic affairs have been sorted out. However now that we have established a firm foundation, we have removed the metaphorical blanket of isolationism, and set about removing the "Welcome to an area of land that isn't Anglo-Prussian Estonia, honest" signs that have surrounded our territories. As a new nation, the period of isolationism has left our industries rather malnourished, and we will graciously commence trading with just about anyone who has anything worth buying.

What I figured. I've located my threads and "bumped" 'em so they're active again. Someone will have to re-link the threads, I guess.

Thanks for explaining the One Ring COnflict and the All Elves Conflict. I was a little confused by them.
The last patriots

NATION: The Commonwealth of The Last Patriot (CLP)
The Commonwealth of the Last Patriot is a nation state that was devised by Dr. Misha Rubvelov in 2000 with his friend Alexander Smythe. Both were patriots of a hereto unnamed democratic capitalist government who saw the corruption creeping into said government and swore to create a government without the standard corruption. What ensued was one of the most elaborate simulators ever created, Somewhere along the line Dr. Rubvelov discovered a way to simulate other complex systems such as the human mind.
Alexander was all too thrilled to be the first to try the mind upload experiment. He was killed in the experimentation process but his essence remained in the machine as a bug that would not go away. This undeleteable "Last Patriot" became the figurehead for the nation and still resides in the CLP's most prominent monument, a low slung cooled building containing several hundred servers, known only as "the Spire".
Now years later the country has gained its independance and has established itself as a world power. The most notable feature of the Nationstate, its its dual locations. Both having a substantial presence in the physical world, but also having a large ammount of Infonauts, specialized personelle who have eschewed bodies and exists only as data.
