Provincial Profile: Tangier-Ceuta

Land:

250px-Tangier-Tétouan.svg.png

Coat of Arms: None. No consensus has been reached on the matter

Population: 2,542,692 inhabitants

Population Density: 213 inhab. / km²

Official Language: Arabic (The most spoken language of the area), Spanish (Second most spoken), and Norwegian (Used on documents and taught in schools)

Administrative center: Tangier and Ceuta both serve as capitols of the province

Land Area: 11,570 km2

Provincial Economy

Tangier is one of Norways's most important industrial centers. The industrial sectors are diversified: textile, chemical, mechanical, metallurgical and naval. Currently, the city of Tangier has four industrial parks of which two have the status of free economic zone (see Tangier Free Zone).

Agriculture in the area of Tangier-Ceuta is tertiary and mainly cereal.

The infrastructure of this city of the strait of Gibraltar consists of a port that manages flows of goods and travellers (more than one million travelers per annum) and integrates a marina with a fishing port.

Artisanal trade in the old medinas (old cities) specializes mainly in leather working, handicrafts made from wood and silver, traditional clothing, and shoes of Moroccan origin.

Tangier-Ceuta, as it has since its inception into Norway, is Autonomous within Norway, with its own elected government, local laws, and regional practices. They maintain representatives in the government, and all citizens of the province maintain Norwegian Citizenship. The citizens of the province have one of the highest voter turnouts of any Province, likely due to years without the option of voting for their own government.

Norwegian-Swedish Public Opinion Polls

OOC: The is to keep everything straight if I get invaded, as well as show a cross section of my populous. Will update occasionally with new informations, and remove information that is no longer pertinent. If you have a problem with anything here, PM me, don't post it here.

On Nordland:

Most Norwegians are weary of the actions of the Nords. Even in the South, where many of the older Generation grew up under the control of the Greater Nordlandic Reich, Nordic Socialism and Martencism are viewed as fractured ideals perpetuated by madmen and murderers. There are several, albeit minuscule, Nordlandic groups within the nation, but for the most part, they meet in secret to avoid the stigma of believing in such controversial ideals. As one moves further north, one would notice the mild dislike turn to fear and hatred. In Murmansk, people still honor the original fall of Tion, and harbor a deep hatred of Nordanders. In Svalbard, many have made jokes about the militarist and drunken nature of the Nordlanders, making them more a laughingstock and object of ridicule than a true ideology.

Example of an Anti-Nordland Joke that is often told by children:

"Martens visits a lunatic asylum. The patients give the Kaiser a salute. As he passes down the line he comes across a man who isn’t saluting.

'Why aren’t you saluting like the others?' Martens barks.

'Mein Kaiser, I’m the nurse,' he says , 'I’m not crazy!'"

Update: With the recent Parliamentary elections, an assumption held by many statisticians proved accurate, when the Nordlandic Party won several seats in the Norwegian Parliament. It has been postulated that many of those who switched party affiliation were influenced by the recent war towards more extreme Right Wing and Culturally centered parties. Though this shows a slow shift towards greater accepting of the Nordlandic and Martencist ideals, they are still far from the high majority of the Norwegian Conservative Party and Progressive Party.

On Maelstrom Vortex and his death:

Though the Governments official reaction was flying the flags at half mass in honor of his passing, many members of the religious community viewed his passing as a sign of prayers answered by god. This is because of the Chairman's peculiar looks, making him, to quote one concerned Oslo resident, "Look like the devil himself." Maelstrom's odd appearance gave many Norwegians the feeling that he was a harbinger of the apocalypse, and an earthly embodiment of Satan. His death carried with it the ends of the stigma that Dragonisia was a state dedicated to Satan, and will likely make Dragon-Norwegian relation improve in the near future.

On Nordheim/ Greater Gemany:

Feelings are mixed about this militarist, ever growing nation. Many in the North view this as a thinly veiled attempt by Martencists to reform the Nordland. These same people refuse to recognise the claims that the nation has zero unemployed, and almost zero crime, stating that even the smallest of communities have thieves and liars. The northerners also state that the Nordheim civil war was only a ruse to create a feeling in other nations that the Nordheim people truly desire an authoritarian Dictatorship. Further south however, people, although garnering the same fears of a Martencist neighbor, do not carry the deep seated mistrust that is common in the north.

Recently though, acceptance of the nation has been on the rise. The new government has dropped several of the old anti-Martencist policies that were once in place, and now, with Germany's acceptance into PEPTO, relations are expected to improve greatly.

On the Former World Leader Sarah Tintagyl:

Almost unanimously throughout the nation, the Lady Protector has drawn an almost religious following for her strength through various hardships and ability to spread peace and compassion to whatever land she treads upon.

On Ubersteinia:

Baron Erwin Uberstein is viewed by many Norwegians as a savior and Unifier. A portrait of Uberstein adorns many a town hall and Government building alike, right beside an image of King Harald V. Throughout the nation, many still fly Ubersteinian Flags along with their Norwegian ones, and at least three monuments to Uberstein (One statue and two large plaques) exist within the nation. That all said, though Uberstein is well loved in Norway, he exists as more of a folk hero than a unifier in modern Norwegian culture. Now, over ten years since Ubersteinia collapsed, many Norwegians have resisted moving to join another nation led by Uberstein, fearing another collapse and sacrifice to the Nordlanders. Still, many Norwegians have made a habit of Visits to Finland to be under the protection of their former leader, just for a little while.

On Rebel Army:

Rebel Army is a nation deeply ingrained into Norwegian Popular culture from the Ubersteinian age. Many young adults grew up on stories of the Great, Nobel Rebel Army; A Bastion of Freedom and Integrity. This made it all the more hard to stomach as the nation moved towards a more isolationist, violent being. Recent events have shattered the Romanticized view of RA, including the signing of the Eurasian Union pact, as well as the support of the Novakian revolution, both of which have been greatly criticized in the Norwegian Press. Though some still hold on to the belief that RA is a land of Good Intentions, most feel it is a nation past it's prime, fallen into a pit of destruction and corruption.

In more recent history, Rebel Army-Norway relations dropped further, after several, successful attempts at breaching Norway's Sovereign waters to support, however indirectly, colonialism within Europe.

On Carthage:

Public opinion of Carthage in Norway is constantly fluctuating, but in general, feelings are poor. Many find their aggression, especially towards Norway, to be a sign of their dishonesty and poor manner. Even after our brief spat of diplomacy with them, they are the first nation that the majority of the public voiced the desire to declare war upon. Though feelings have got progressively better, their constant need to go to war, and close the straits of Gibraltar (Detrimental to our economy) has created a large amount of distrust and even hatred towards the North African nation.

On Generalissimo, Generalissimo of Procinctia:

Generalissimo is viewed in Norway like no other man ever born. It is rare that a Norwegian Tabloid can go a day without printing another rumor about him, and even though many are less than becoming to his person and character, he remains a symbol of greatness, sex, wealth, general awesomeness, and genius in the nation. The most common way of describing the great man is written below, and truly shows his reputation:

Generalissimo, Generalissimo of Procinctia, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty.

The interpretation of the above varies wildly from person to person, but most often, it is believed that Generalissimo forced himself into being from a bar of gold, two cows, a viper, a steel I beam, and the testicles of an elephant by shear willpower and black magic. No one has attempted to disputed this theory.

On Civil Wars (And the Idea Thereof):

After the Forty-Eight Hour war, and the Swedish Civil War, both of which happened in quick succession, the idea, and discussion of Civil wars, and their motives and purposes, is a common topic of debate and discussion. To many, the idea of an angered populous standing up against an oppressive regime, especially one that wears the false face of nationalism, and fighting for ones ideals, ones peace, and ones freedom, holds a certain sense of romance across both Norway and Sweden. This idea is often seen in the nation's media, and even extending to foreign policy, where is is viewed as a necessity to see if any uprising in a nation is a violent and militarist, but otherwise small terrorist group, or a popular revolt against an oppressive regime, before making any statement or action of support.

Norway-Swedish National Security

Norwegian National Security is preserved and kept up through three separate Government institutions; The Border Patrol, National Immigration Regulation Committee, and Norwegian Internal Intelligence.

Border Patrol

Founded as a means to oversee and protect the borders in peace times, the Border Patrol is a highly organized police force that prevents illegal immigration, as well as oversees possible threats to the national security coming from the outside. The Border Patrols maintains the civilian border crossings, as well as nation wide security checkpoints.

National Immigration Regulation Committee (NIRC)

The NIRC is the board that oversees all incoming immigrants, measures them for security risks, and distributes National Papers. The NIRC, though having little to no actual power, is in charge of overseeing, tracking, and approving each and every application for Norwegian citizenship. Originally formed to guard the nation against spies, the NIRC makes certain that only desirable individuals may become permanent citizens, or receive Visas for work.

Norwegian Internal Intelligence (NII)

The NII acts as a more long term NIRC, guarding the nation from internal threats. The NII keeps tabs on "Likely Terrorist Activity," as well as any suspicious activities and crimes committed nationwide. The NII also must approve of all Visa extensions, and renewal of Papers, meaning that they can keep tabs on citizens, at least on a yearly basis.

Norwegian National Coast Guard

The Coast guard is tasked with protecting the nations National waters, as well as maintaining and regulating those allowed into the nations waters. Though technically a branch of the Navy, the Coast Guard operates more on the pencil pushing end, issuing transit permits through National Waters.

Norwegian Security Protocols

Border Patrol

The Norwegian Border Patrol is a strong, and proud group of men and women, who take their task very seriously. Much like the NIRC, the Border Patrol uses many of the same practices used in the ADI age. The first thing taught to a Norwegian Border patrolman is the simple three part mantra of the group; Inspection, Detection, Protection. The process of a normal border patrol is detailed below:

1: Car or truck pulls in to Border patrol station.

2: As the car moves through "Arch One," it is stopped and visually scanned using a 360 degree camera array that scans all possible angles of the car (Including beneath)

3: The car moves through "Arch Two," where it is once again asked to stop. In this section, Drug and explosive "sniffing" devices check the car for weapons and illegal substances. (The unauthorized transport of Drugs [prescription or otherwise] and weapons is a punishable defense. Depending on the nature of the violation, the charge can be anything from a small fine, or permanent deportation, to jail time.)

4: Car moves to Arch Three, where visas are checked, drivers license is checked for Norwegian Validity (Only some national drivers licenses are accepted in Norway), and a pass is issued for the car to drive through Norway. The pass is time sensitive. At the arch, the driver will be asked how long they will be in Norway, and the pass will be set to allow two days over (For complications that may arise.)

Immigration

Immigrating into Norway is a rather challenging, but fulfilling process. Many of the security measures put in during the ADI age are still in effect to make certain that undesirables are unable to attain citizenship. The process of becoming a citizen is detailed below:

1: Pass standard border checks, including proof of residence in another nation.

2: At the section's Immigration center, register your car, and file for temporary Immigration Approval Visa (IAV) (One may also apply for a refugee Visa, for zero charge, if escaping a hostile nation)

3: Once given an IAV, you have three months to find a job, buy, rent or lease a home or apartment, sign up for IAV Health Insurance (And be inoculated to national standards) and prepare for your First Citizenship tests

3a: If you fail to find a residence and job, you will be deported for a period of three months before you may reapply for an IAV

3b: To even be eligible for citizenship, you must present records from your home land signifying birth, insurance, zero criminal record, and any other requested information.

3b2: If you fail to present these, and continue to do so until your IAV expires, you will be deported.

3c: If a prospective citizen on an IAV commits a crime, of any severity, they can be deported.

4: Take a standard Citizenship Screening Test (CST), which gauges your ability to function in society, as well as looking for certain patterns that come up in people whom may be entering the country with an ulterior motive. (The test involves many personal questions on your motive for immigrating as well as on your personal history)

5: After receiving and passing their CST, the prospective citizen must wait through an Observation period of Six months. In this time, they will be occasionally re-tested (At random intervals. Generally, there will be one per month, or up to three in a single month), have their purchases and movements carefully followed, and will be expected to retain their job and home.

5a: Or, one may refuse this process, and remain a Norwegian Resident, not able to vote or hold office, and forced to pay National taxes.

5b: During this time, the applicant must file any intent to move their residence, leave their home city, purchase a new car, use any controlled substances, purchase a firearm, or change professions with their NIRC case worker.

5c: During this time, the applicant will be expected to pay state taxes. No national taxes must be payed (As the Applicant is not yet a citizen of the nation, but is a resident of the state). Any failure to pay taxes will be met with (if a first offense) a warning from their NIRC case worker, (If second offense) a fine of 3000 Kr, or (If third offense) deportation. If deported for such a crime, citizenship will be denied permanently to the applicant.

5d: If a resident commits a felony, they will be tried, and, if deemed necessary in the situation, can be deported. In the case of minor crimes, the punishment will either be equal to that of a citizen.

6: After the Observation period, the prospective citizen will be given a final citizenship test (Norwegian Citizenship Exam or NCE), that gauges basic knowledge of Norwegian laws, Culture, and history.

6a: If they fail, they may take a retest after a clearance period of two weeks. A failure of three tests will require the applicant to repeat the CST and Observation period, at their own payment

7: After passing the NCE, the Prospective citizen will be taken to have their official papers made, their car registration and licenses updated to Citizen status, and be issued an official passport. With becoming a citizen comes the right to vote, own property, and travel freely throughout the nation. After officially becoming a citizen, the NIRC will continue to track movements for another year

Applying for National Waters Entrance Permits

1: Contact Coast Guard Oslo Headquarters stating your intent to enter National Waters.

2: Coast Guard will classify you as: Civilian (C1-Permit), Civilian Commercial (C2-Permit), Civilian Freight (C3-Permit), Military Freight (M1-Permit), Military Transport (M2-Permit), or Military (M3-Permit)

3: Coast Guard will send permit application forms out. (Of course, it is much harder to get military permits than Civilian ones)

4: After receiving permit applications, the Coast Guard will collect the Permit Application Fee, and issue the permits accordingly.

Note: The Coast Guard Reserves the right, as accepted in the Permit Application Forms, to search and seize property found on ships as they see fit, as well as arrest and hold the crews should there be suspicion of committed crimes. The time held can be no more than 48 hours if no charges are pressed, after which the crew and goods will be returned to their ship in full.

Note 2: Norwegian Protected waters require the same permit process, but include time restraints and searches become mandatory for all vessels.

Diplomatic Visas

Any foreign dignitary, whom wishes to enter Norway-Sweden on the grounds of political cooperation or the aid of the aforementioned process, is allowed to apply for a diplomatic visa. Said visas are given in Three Week, Three Month, Six Month, One Year, and indefinite increments. Diplomats and the Staff are subject to no special treatment under Norwegian law, and, if found to be committing, or to have commit a crime while in the Kingdoms, they can be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and they will be faced with the immediate repeal of their visa, even if charges are dropped. That said, Diplomats in Norway will not be subject to taxes, but can be charged for damaging, destroying, or stealing equipment supplied by the Royal Government to their embassy of living quarters.

(More to come)

OOC NOTE: If you are try to spy on me, PM me. There is only one GM ruling I don't recognise: Spy rolls, so don't try to pull that. I won't god mod if you do it my way, but I won't take the roll.

Norway-Swedish Government Agencies

With the Progressiveness boom in Norway, and massive increase in the passage of government Acts, the number of Government Agencies has boomed into record numbers. They are described below:

Security Agencies

Border Patrol

Founded as a means to oversee and protect the borders in peace times, the Border Patrol is a highly organized police force that prevents illegal immigration, as well as oversees possible threats to the national security coming from the outside. The Border Patrols maintains the civilian border crossings, as well as nation wide security checkpoints.

National Immigration Regulation Committee (NIRC)

The NIRC is the board that oversees all incoming immigrants, measures them for security risks, and distributes National Papers. The NIRC, though having little to no actual power, is in charge of overseeing, tracking, and approving each and every application for Norwegian citizenship. Originally formed to guard the nation against spies, the NIRC makes certain that only desirable individuals may become permanent citizens, or receive Visas for work.

Norwegian Internal Intelligence (NII)

The NII acts as a more long term NIRC, guarding the nation from internal threats. The NII keeps tabs on "Likely Terrorist Activity," as well as any suspicious activities and crimes committed nationwide. The NII also must approve of all Visa extensions, and renewal of Papers, meaning that they can keep tabs on citizens, at least on a yearly basis.

Norwegian Military Police (NMP)

The NMP is tasked to act as a police force on military bases and in issues regarding military members. They serve long term roles on large military bases, and in Military housing and urban centers. They are also tasked with aiding in the investigation of crimes committed by or agaisnt members of the Norwegian military.

Norwegian Bureau of Investigation and Safety (NBIS)

The NBIS acts both as an individual agency, and as the arm of the NII. They are responsible for investigation of National crimes (Any crime that takes place over two provinces), Class V crimes (Serial offenders and prison breakouts) and terrorist activities. They work closely with the NII, and NSCB to track down terrorist activity and large government aid extortion rings.

Public Service Agencies

National Recovery Board (NRB)

The NRB was created in the last few hours that Norway was under the provisional Government. It is tasked with overseeing the economic recovery of the nation until production and monetary systems have reached pre-war levels.

National Social Care Bureau (NSCB)

The NSCB is tasked with meeting with those applying for monetary or medical aid to make sure the person requesting both deserves and needs it. They only have the ability to oversee the aid being given out under the National Reconstruction Act, the Aged and Sick act and the Health and Wellness Act.

Norway-Swedish Government Acts, Royal Decrees and Important Legislature

National Acts:

National Defense Act:

Initially passed during the reorganization of Norwegian Provinces during the ADI age, the National Defense Act authorized the government to construct and maintain permanent military defenses along the coast, as well as set aside the Solovetsky Islands as a government controlled municipality for military use. (Note: This was passed as a government Act because, as stipulated by the ADI constitution that the Central Government could not undertake projects in states without approval, and states could not take military expenditures without Congressional approval. In the modern time, the government could build the defenses with a simple vote in the senate.)

ADI Nationalization Act:

Passed almost immediately after the shift into the Kingdom of Norway era (During the Short lived Republic of Norway), the ADI Nationalization Act was passed to merge ADI (The company) into the state to ensure production while new economic assets were constructed, as well as to produce the nation's military technology.

National Unity and Culture (Norwegianization) Act

The Norwegianization acts were passed as one of the last moves by the short lived Republic of Norway before its disbandment. The Act created several public works programs, as well as ensure the destruction of large, Nordlandinc monuments and return of the Norwegian Monarchy.

Reconstruction Act

The Reconstruction Act was separated from the Norwegianization act b a movement from the Conservative members of the parliament to try and ensure the passage of the Norwegianization, but not Reconstruction acts. (Ironically, both passed by a large margin).

Commonwealth Acts

The Commonwealth Acts, passed by the Provisional Government during their first official meeting, are number of bills that are intended to rebuild the economy, as well as prevent a situation where another dispute may occur. Those bills are The Commonwealth Act, The Crown Act, The Impeachment and Dismissal Acts, The Transport Act, and the Health and Wellness Act.

National Reconstruction Act (2nd Great Construction)

The National Reconstruction Act (Known by most as the Second Great Construction), was passed by the parliament not long after the Provisional Government was dissolved. The act allows all people whom have lost valuables during the war, to be repaid for their losses up to 700,000 Kroner, for any family who's house was entirely destroyed to have their house rebuilt on the bill of the Government, and put money into the completion of several projects that were promised but never completed by the former government, such as the Pan-Norwegian Railway, new freeways and roads in Rural areas, and construction of a standardized education system.

National Aged and Sick Act

The National Aged and Sick act was passed alongside the National Reconstruction act to further refine the Health and Wellness act. It guarantees monetary aid to those who have debilitating disabilities, diseases and who have passed the age of seventy to ensure that they maintain a basic standard of living.

Royal Decrees

Royal Decree No. 1

Royal Decree Number One guarantees that Norway, for the betterment of life within the nation, will become neutral in all international conflicts and wars. This removes the ability for Norway to declare aggressive war, and lowers the numbers of Norway's standing army substantially.

Royal Decree No. 2

Decree Number Two guarantees the right for Norway to protect the lands of Scandinavian nations that have fallen into anarchy in order to preserve their cultures and heritage.

Royal Decree No. 3

Decree Number Three guarantees that all products bought and sold in Norway from elsewhere in Scandinavia will be free of internal and external tariffs in order to promote international business and friendship with other Scandinavian Nations.

Royal Decree No. 4

Decree Number Four announces Norway's right to construct Nuclear arms. This is then followed by a guarantee that , Norway will not, under any circumstances, use these weapons unless first having them used against the homeland as part of an aggressive strike.
