Sargun II Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) [center][size="5"][color="#ffa500"]Republic of Lacedaemon[/color][/size] [size="3"][color="#ff8c00"]Constitutional Secular Republic[/color][/size] [color="#ff8c00"] Capital City: Lacedaemon[/color] [u][size="2"]Official Languages[/size][/u] [color="#000000"]English, Greek[/color] [u]Major Religions[/u] Christianity [u]History[/u] ~2500 BC Lacedaemon city-state expands and conquers several surrounding city-states. Legendary king Leonidas inspiration for Lacedaemon, which eventually controls large section of mountain range. Most histories differ on what exactly happened, but it is generally accepted in modern times that Leonidas conquered other city-states through diplomacy rather than actual force. ~1500 BC Lacedaemon Empire fractures into several competing societies, with the desert kings battling it out for farmland and mountain kings generally building up defensive fortresses. Only a few fortresses still survive today. ~500 BC An epic, 30-year long conflict is fought in the Black Desert between the dwindling Lacedaemon Empire and the forces of the Commonwealth of Athens. Lacedaemon eventually conquers the Commonwealth, but the victory is short-lived. A plague ravages the occupying army and surges the Empire into a dark age. ~Year Zero Christ is born. He leads an effort to reform the pagan religious institutions of the Empire, but is soon persecuted and killed for his crimes. A cult is born several years later, led by followers of Christ who believe in one God. ~50 AD A Christian revolution sweeps across Lacedaemon, starting the Pagan Purge. Thousands are executed and more pushed into the Black Desert, which is when the desert finally gets its name. Political reforms are pushed that completely radicalize the Empire. Holy Empire of Lacedaemon established. Crusades against the pagans are performed deep into the Black Desert, led by Saint Vincent. ~120-450 AD An age of peace envelops the Holy Empire. ~450 AD The Holy Army goes north and encounters natives in the Uray region. Trading settlement is established but run out by pagan natives. ~520 AD Holy Emperor Alexander launches a massive invasion of the Uray region. Over 450,000 conscripts descend upon the region, and many natives are slaughtered without pity. A permanent Christian mission is established in the region, and soon after he launches similar invasions to the south. [img]http://e.imagehost.org/0917/530ad.png[/img] ~530 AD Alexander conquers the southern peninsula and enslaves many of the peoples, who are forced to move back into the Holy Empire once he relinquishes control back to the natives. Alexander is hailed as a hero and moves the Holy Empire into a Golden Age. ~550-730 AD Power moves from a militaristic standpoint to a more peaceful, democratic view. Emperorship is abolished and is replaced by a council of rulers, who are ineffective and lead the Empire into another Dark Age. [img]http://e.imagehost.org/0932/alexanderfall.png[/img] ~800 AD Competing religions influence the peasants of the Empire, who stage a series of "800 Revolts". The Revolts are so widespread that the ruling council is replaced again with a King. The first King, Jarok the Powerful, ends up creating a powerful dynasty and builds up the Empire's strength within the Black Desert. ~1200 AD Massive plague strikes the empire. Most records destroyed in massive fires. ~1400-1500 AD Plagues end up reducing massive population issues and lead the Holy Empire into a Renaissance. Christian religion spreads even further, making paganism now only in the deep refuges of the desert. Power goes into the hands of the citizens as massive advancements are made in all areas of the country. Around the same time, Jarok the Wise founds the port city of Jarok and creates the first navy of the Holy Empire. ~1650 AD Army converts to gunpowder after a massive uprising by pagans in the Black Desert. Massive reforms are instituted to move government out of the thousand year old laws of the past. Philosophical and religious questions are raised after thousands of peasants protest religious persecution within the Empire. 1752 AD Young Empress Sarah Tintagyl comes to power, the first female queen in the history of the Holy Empire. She institutes secular reforms including distancing the Empire from endorsing strictly Christianity and religious freedom for the peasants. The army is reformed into a strictly defensive entity, while the Royal Navy is charged with overseeing the colonies of Uray and their new freedoms. 1755 AD Women are granted the right to own property by Empress Tintagyl, and are also allowed to hold any job in the Empire sans join the army. Ability to vote for local rulers is granted and the old marriage contract is abolished. 1756 AD Empress Tintagyl founds the Tintagylist political party. An order issued by her dissolves the Empire itself and founds a Republic, although a Constitution is not put in and rampant abuse is evident. 1758 AD Tintagyl is elected the first Prime Minister of Lacedaemon, and the Tintagylist party sweeps elections. Several pro-male groups are outraged, but the army remains loyal and puts down the "Barfights of 1758". 1760 AD Prime Minister Tintagyl oversees the development of new weapons in the Republic. Lacedaemon enters a second Renaissance, this one dominated by the spread of the "Tintagylist dream", a set of undefined and generally loose goals involving peace and prosperity across the Republic. The Treaty of Tintagyl Court is hailed as a step in peace, as the Republic and the loose Pagan Confederations come to an uneasy peace and the Black Desert is annexed into the Republic. The colonies of Uray are given more freedoms. 1776 AD Prime Minister Tintagyl, head of the nation for over two decades now, institutes new policies that causes widespread outrage. New restrictions on religious institutions cause minor revolts that are put down as well, but popularity plummets among the Christian population. 1780 AD Prime Minister Tintagyl is targeted by an assassin from the Nerdu Kingdom in the south. Despite popularity problems, the Republic unites behind her and starts the Vaffen War. [img]http://e.imagehost.org/0825/tintagyl.png[/img] 1780-1794 AD Vaffen War rages in the Black Desert as the Nerdu Kingdom continues to send armies to harass the Republic. Massive pagan constructs are used as military fortifications, and pagans united with the Christians to fight the Nerdu off. Tintagylism falls in popularity as the war drags on, but Prime Minister Tintagyl takes herself on the front lines in 1794 at the age of 64. Prime Minister Tintagyl is captured in 1794 and killed by the Nerdu Kingdom. 1795-1820 AD The Republic of Lacedaemon, enraged over the death of Tintagyl, sends massive armies to the Kingdom of Nerdu and conquers the plains with a barbarosity not known for hundreds of years. Any and all 'foreigners' are rounded up and executed. Massive rapes of women and enslavment of children are widespread. Her body is recovered and given a lavish funeral attended by upwards of two million citizens. Cries of "For Lady Tintagyl!" stop the genocide, but only after close to five million Nerdu are murdered. 1845 AD Uprising of Nerdu slave families. Civil war prevented by Tintagylist party, but party is unable to prevent another mass execution. 1854 AD Slavery abolished. 1885 AD Christian missionaries spread to the west and across the ocean to the west. 1919 AD Sports crazes sweep the nation while massive political battles between descendants of Nerdu, the Lacedaemon purists, and the Tintagyl party ensue behind closed doors. Economic prosperity finds its way to destruction soon after, and the Lacedaemon purists gain control. 1939 AD Prime Minister Hiley uncovers some of the private writings of Lady Tintagyl. Her unpublished Constitution is slightly edited to conform with the times, and used as the current Constitution. The state because a Secular Republic of Lacedaemon, with the military authorized to coup and non-secular establishments. 1942 AD Prime Minister Hiley reforms the Tintagyl party during the Uray crisis. The colonies are granted independence, which ends up starting a civil strife within the Nerdu minority regions. Prime Minister Hiley leads the Second Vaffen War. 1942-1945 AD Second Vaffen War ends with Prime Minister Hiley ordering the detonation of a nuclear weapon on a Nerdu military establishment on the outer islands to the east. A second nuclear weapon is detonated on a civilian populace, causing widespread celebration among non-Nerdu populations. 1965 AD Ex-Prime Minister Hiley dies, but not before pushing through a bill that allowed for massive military reforms to protect the population and to further ties with the Iberian Democratic Republic.

kitex Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) [img]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa232/mangaman01/flag-2.jpg[/img] Name of Nation: Uray [u]Political Map of Uray[/u] [img]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa232/mangaman01/Uray-political.jpg[/img] Primary Languages: English History: [center]~1900 AD~[/center] The people of Uray took up arms in a rebellion against their colonizers, the nation of Lacedaemon, who'd enslaved the populace and exploited their oil and gold reserves. After the Lacedaemonians had been expelled, the nation split into three factions: [list] [*] Communist Party led by 40 year old Haji Kin-tow [*] National Islamic Council led by 35 year old Mohammed Harem [*] Christian Federation led by 25 year old Kyr Hanissary [/list] Mass bloodshed and violence occurred as one group conquered another group's land and killed everyone who opposed them as well as white, light-skinned, and dark-skinned peoples, depending on which faction you were in. [center]~1910 AD~[/center] After a decade of on-again off-again bloodshed, the National Islamic Council finally won out. They set the capital up in the northern areas of the nation in the town of Yotsu. There Mohammed Harem proclaimed that he was sent by Allah himself to lead Uray into an era of peace and prosperity. The first thing he did after gaining power was hunt down and kill as many of the NICÂ’s opponents as he could. He then put several high-ranking members of the NIC into his administrative cabinet and began setting up a national judicial system, starting up a currency known as the Helba, and encouraged agriculture nationwide. A national military was started as well as a small, elite paramilitary force known as the [i]Guardians of Heaven[/i]. [center]~1930 AD~[/center] Twenty years had passed and the economy of Uray grew and a relative peace had sprung up in the young nation. A peace deal had been made with the Communist Party and the [i]Guardians of Heaven[/i] were hunting down and the usual monthly suicide bombings made by the Christian Federation had ceased, although for unknown reasons. On January 1, 1930, Mohammed Harem died and soon replaced by Jukie Varz. Varz was inaugurated as the new leader on January 4th. He began strengthening provincial governments and encouraging the industrialization of Uray. On February 14th, Jukie Varz was assassinated in Revolution Square, by a member of the Christian Federation. During their twenty year hiatus, they rebuilt their organization and rethought their strategy. The coup was so organized that members of the Federation infiltrated the water supply lines and the power grids and threatened to turn both off if anyone tried to overthrow them. The Federation then sent out loyal members to round up and execute any known former government personnel and also anyone that was suspected of possibly being a threat to the new government. At exactly 12 pm on that day, top officials of the [i]Guardians of Heaven[/i] who were actually members of the Christian Federation, killed all of Varz' cabinet members and pronounced a new government, one that would be a theocracy based around the Christian god. Jowl Hanissary, the son of Kyr Hannisary, was elected by the CF council as the president of Uray. [center]~1940 AD~[/center] The power of the new government was threatened when the remains of the National Islamic Party launched a coup on March 15th, which failed, yet there was [i]serious[/i] follow-up by the government. Jowl dissolved the Parliament and the Constitution, both of which were only 10 years old, and launched a vicious military campaign on the Muslim communities in the south and also target dark-skinned peoples who lived there. This forced the Muslim community to flee to the west, where they met and allied themselves with the Secular Coalition, an organization that fought both on the battlefield and in the courthouses for a secular government. The Muslim community had been severely cut down and the National Islamic Council had only the most dedicated and loyal members remaining. On August 8th, the Secular Coalition and a handful of NIC members launched a successful coup of the Christian government. The NIC and Secular Coalition then agreed to a power-sharing agreement and in the south the question of whether the law would be secular or Islamic would be decided by the people's voting. On September 1st, the capital was moved to the city of Hi-Jin and a republic was established. According to the power-sharing agreement, the positions in government were to have an equal representation of [i]all[/i] groups, the Secular Coalition, the NIC, and the newly founded Agnostic Party. It was decided that [i]all[/i] parts of the government would be secular and the new capital of the nation would move to the city of Uru. The Secular Coalition would have the executive branch, the NIC the legislative, and the Agnostic Party the judicial. Public elections were held for the position of president and also provincial represenatives in both Upper and Lower Parliament. Jazzu Igrit was elected president of Uray. Jazzu appointed members of each group in his Cabinet, the Agnostic Party appointed nine of their fairest members as the Supreme Judges, and the NIC appointed Nana Joy as Speaker of Lower Parliament and Hazra Guni as Speaker of Upper Parliament. When was done, the wisest and fairest members of all three groups came together to form a constitution for the new government. The first thing that [i]everyone[/i] agreed on was getting the economy back in shape and making sure that [i]all[/i] issues of all parties were addressed. They first amount of legislation that was increased taxes for everyone, gave farmers a tax break, and gave reparations to all parties that had been affected in the rebellions, though, this did not include the indigenous dark and light skinned peoples of western Uray, whoÂ’d been in the land for at least 100 years prior to even the colonization by Lacedaemon. There were talks in Parliament about sending representatives to the indigenous tribes to find out what their grievances were and to see if they could be addressed. President Igrit supported this, yet members of his cabinet, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that was led by members of the NIC, were opposed to this as they knew that the NIC had done mass genocide there as to take control of the oil in that part of the country. Talks went ahead anyway and the demands of the western tribes were mixed, some wanted to become a part of the nation, others wanted their tribesÂ’ land to have complete autonomy, and others still wanted to see if the two societies could somehow coexist peaceably. This was not agreeable with anyone in the government, who, while they [i]did[/i] want to see reconciliation, however, did [i]not[/i] want to see the tribes become completely autonomous. The government told the tribes that they could have deal where the tribes would be federally recognized and would not have to serve in the military in exchange for them becoming citizens of the nation and the government and tribes would share the land. This infuriated the tribes, who then withdrew from talks and began setting up defenses just in case federal forces ever tried to attack them. [center]~1950~[/center] The economy was booming and mass industrialization was beginning to occur. The government budget was kept in line and new parties had exploded onto the political scene. The western tribes had tried organizing into one political party, but failed. Each tribe sent representatives to Parliament, where, upon arrival, they were sent back to their homelands. The police cited the Constitution, saying that only citizens of Uray were allowed to participate in Parliament and since the tribes had refused citizenry, they were not allowed to participate. This enraged the western tribes even further, who, while not citizenry of Uray, still had to follow the laws of the government and deal with settlers who bought in their strange technology and even worse, noisy cars which were fueled by oil that was either outright stolen from them by the oil companies or when the tribes would bring the companies to court, saying that the land was theirs, the courts would respond by saying that it wasnÂ’t since the tribes werenÂ’t official citizens of Uray, thus they had no rights at all, much less property rights. This caused the anger in the western tribes to increase greatly, yet they did not take their anger out in violent acts, instead, they sent in members to sign green cards so that they could serve in the nationÂ’s military and also as apprentices in gunsmithing. The reasoning for this was quickly recognized by the Ministry of Defense and they successfully pressured Parliament into passing legislation that discriminated against the western tribes. This led to mass protesting in the capital which quickly led to rioting. To deal with this, the government sent out riot police. Afterwards, Parliament passed the [i]Tribal Suspension Act[/i], which effectively restricted the movement of the western tribes to their territory only. The tribes defied this time and again and also staged a massive protest in the capital on December 6th, which resulted in the 1st National Guard division being called out and the protest being violently broken up. The government then responded by putting the 1st Infantry Division on the federal-tribal border. When the tribes needed anything such as medicine or were low on food, theyÂ’d have to come to the border where theyÂ’d receive assistance. A famous woman, by the name of Rebecca Kyt, of the Kyfek tribe, wrote a book entitled [i]Crushed Souls[/i] in which it was described in great detail the injustices done to the western tribes. The book became a best seller and people began demanding that the government do something about the tribes. The president at the time was Dorothy Joyce and she decided to make a peace deal with the tribes. After hearing that they would be able to keep their autonomy and have property and voting rights, they agreed. The treaty was entitled the [i]Western Harmony Pact[/i]. [center]~1970~[/center] The economy was in a recession due to the shortage in lumber and mining, industries in which a large portion of the economy was supported by. Then-president Robert Jackal, of the Agnostic/Atheist Party, as well as several prominent members of Parliament, knew for a fact that there were [i]large[/i] amounts of oil in that area. They decided to broker a deal with the pro-government tribe, the Hazraiks. The Hazariks allowed the government to take 200 acres of oil-rich land, even though it violated a treaty signed by all of the western tribes that clearly said that the federal government would have [i]none[/i] of the land belonging to the tribes unless [i]all[/i] tribes agreed to it. This deal was soon uncovered and the western tribes decided to take the matter up in the courts, yet their case was dismissed. This led to the western tribes of Uray joining together under the name the Western Alliance. They declared war on the government of Uray formally and then began to launch raids onto the 200 acres where new oil rigs had been built, kidnapping and killing workers and damaging the oil rigs. Then on November 11th, they launched a massive attack on a nearby town, killing a total 1,000 civilians. The public outcry was tremendous and the public wanted blood. On November 18th, Parliament officially declared war on the Western Alliance.

The republican system of government originally supported a very-strong federal government (the Federal Republic). Over the years and as Bastillo spread out to encompass more islands, the power of the Federal Republic has gradually eroded but still remains strong and local governments are not permitted to pass laws contradicting those of the Federal Republic. The Federal Republic maintains a very strict domestic surveillance program and it is not uncommon in a city to be on camera from the moment you leave your house until you return. As a result, crime rates across the Republic are significantly lower than many countries. Although introduced amid some controversy, this security arrangement was approved by the National Assembly and is supported by the Bastillan people, the majority of whom prefer tangible security over the possibility of violated freedoms. Militarily, the Republic of Bastillo has remained neutral for the past 200 years, largely because (though no Bastillan will admit this), there is nothing in Bastillo worth the cost of an invasion. Approximately 8 years ago, Bastillo acquired a number of nuclear warheads from an unrevealed source, though most rumors pin the Republic of Lacedaemon as the source. The economy of Bastillo is almost balanced, with only a slight trade deficit. The majority of Bastillan income comes from the export of manufactured goods, primarily electronics, followed by the export of fish. To support industry however, nearly all raw materials and other food-sources must be imported to the islands of Bastillo. The people and corporations of Bastillo enjoy relatively low tax-rates and the Federal Republic's primary source of income is generated by ships paying to pass through Bastillan waters.

They rule their lands as they see fit, looking down their noses at many international treaties. They were slower than most other developed nations to take their place in the 'first world' but proclaim proudly that they accomplished it with a minimum of outside interference. When the grip of socialism faded from the continent's eastern shores, the fathers of modern Khislav stepped forward. The city of Norvagrad is famous for it's large Germanic population. Though this causes much tension in the local politics of the nation, the diversity has served to make Khislavites a stronger people as a whole. In the past, tensions with the island nations off of their coasts have run high, and sometimes led to conflict. Khislav did not suffer from the break up of the central communist government because a large manufacturing sector was already at home within it's borders. In the eyes of the democratic (if tight-fisted) government that filled the power vacuum it was nothing more than a change of management. In a handful of years these last vestiges of oppression became tools. The fires of industry were rekindled, burning brightly anew. Recently, a very powerful symbol of Khislavite military prowess was born: the T-80Kv main battle tank. The export of such systems and weapons has proved lucrative in the past and will again. But for as long as anyone can remember, Khislav has ever been a region of constants. Vast tracts of land have always been dominated by strong, central governments. Monarchies and oligarchs rarely struggled for power with the landed elite. The very nature of the lands have forced the inhabitants to work together quite closely. Because of environmental and topographical constraints, the borders (even when it was dominated by foreign rule) has changed very little over the course of it's long history. Perhaps this will change in the coming days. But one thing is sure to remain: the resolve of the native sons of Khislav!

Zoot Zoot Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Name of Nation: United Kingdom of Great Britain Primary Languages: English History: On 1 May 1707, the Kingdom of Great Britain was created by the political union of the Kingdom of England (which included Wales) and the Kingdom of Scotland. This event was the result of the Treaty of Union that was agreed on 22 July 1706, and then ratified by both the Parliament of England and Parliament of Scotland each passing an Act of Union in 1707. Almost a century later, the Kingdom of Ireland, already under English control by 1691, merged with the Kingdom of Great Britain to form the United Kingdom with the passing of the Act of Union 1800. Although England and Scotland had been separate states prior to 1707, they had been in personal union since the Union of the Crowns in 1603, when James VI King of Scots had inherited the throne of the Kingdoms of England and Ireland and moved his court from Edinburgh to London. From 1800 onwards Great Britain secluded itself from international politics and concentrated on regional politics on its own continent. During the next hundred years, Britain underwent a major industrial revolution with the discovery of coal and oil. It was in this time that the King at the time decided an massive modernisation of the Military was required. After securing Parliaments permission, the Military was modiefied over the next 40 years following invention after invention from around the world. In 1930 moderization was complete and the King turned on Parilament and a civil war lasting long after the Kings death in 1936, ignited. Queen Elizabeth I continued this war against parliament, even taking to battle herself when she lead the siege of Westminister fortress. Parliament, after one year of siege, a footman exited the fortress offering unconditional surrender of the Parlimentery Army. The Queen was critized for making the war drag out an extra year when a storming of the Fortress could have ended it within weeks. Her reasoning for not commencing an assault was to save British lives. An assault on the Fortress would have cost the lives of thousands. 1937-1982 Great Britains navy expanded from a mere 47 ships, to 88 ships inbetween 1937 and 1982. 1955 saw Britains first Nuclear weapon being detonated during testing, making it a nuclear power. The Army downsized from 490,000 men, down to 240,000. The Airforce grew from 600 aircraft, up to 1007, varying between fighters, bombers, support aircraft and helicopters. Queen Elizabeth II was Coronated at 18 years old in 1974 and is the current Monarch of Great Britain. 1982 saw Ireland incited a full rebellion to gain independance. The IRA or Irish Republican Army launched a series of terror attacks on the mainland. In response to these attacks, Queen Elizabeth ordered an immediate counter attack on Ireland, which resulted in a long drawn out war of independance in Ireland, resulting in the rebellion crushed, and its ringleaders jailed for life. 1988 saw the end of the Rebellion and peace returned to Great Britain. 1988-Present. Queen Elizabeth II is due to be wed to soon to be Prince, Phillip Windsor, the wedding is due early this year. The Nuclear deterrent has been reduced to 180 active warheads on the four Nuclear Submarines, with 540 warheads in storage for decomission. The Ministry of Defence is currently seeking permission from the Queen to build a new Supercarrier for the Royal Navy to replace the HMS Illustrius, an ageing illustrious class aircraft carrier.

No one lord acheived prominence until 250 years ago (1739), when a previously unknown player known as Isabella began her slow but steady manipulation of the existing powers. Through guile, and later outright force after gathering a following of smaller warlords, she managed to forge the pieces together to create an empire. [/color][/font][font="Arial"][color="#000000"] [font="Arial"][color="#000000"][/color][/font]Upon complete unification in 1743, she crowned herself Empress, and began working tirelessly to magnify the roles of women in almost all aspects of the nation--in fact carrying it so far as to give what was until that point deemed the weaker sex dominance in most aspects of the nation, in essence turing it into a matriarchal society. [/color][/font][font="Arial"][color="#000000"]The only roles she could never achieve for women were combat roles in the military. She died in 1793. She left no heirs, but instead of fighting over her legacy, three of the strongest warlords among her supporters banded together to create a ruling council until an heir could be found. [/color][/font][font="Arial"][color="#000000"]One by one, however, the warlords died of old age without finding a suitable replacement. The last remaining, Ferdinand, knew that his time was short. But he, too, had no legal heirs. But in 1813, he hit upon an ingenious solution...why not create a governement sustained by the people themselves? [/color][/font][font="Arial"][color="#000000"]Frantically he slaved to create a working prototype--only managing to complete it before collapsing and dieing from utter exhaustion in his study. His servants found the draft the next morning, next to his body, [/color][color="#000000"]wherein was outlined a system similar to the early form of a nation on Earth known as the United States of America, though without the basic rights of the population being clearly outlined. [/color][/font][font="Arial"][color="#000000"]Transition was not easy, being marred by a decade of civil strife strife which several times threatened to erupt into fullscale civil war, but each time, the strife was averted, and in the end, the changeover was successful, and the nation remained peaceful and largely content for the next several decades--allowing vast jumps in the advancement of civilian technology.

[/font][/color][font="Arial"][color="#000000"]Converts included prominent government officials, who used the faith to subtly manipulated the reigns of power. By 1910, it had become a requirement that one be a practicing member of the Church to hold a government office that contained any real power.

Vedran Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 [IMG]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3503/gcoe.png[/IMG] [b]Greater Thriaxian Empire[/b] Primary Languages: English History: Over fifty years ago, industry was booming in the wide isthmus between the two great eastern continents. The government controlling the area employed very lenient policies in regards to regulation of the heavy industry that the controlling nation used the nation for. The country's underclass all gathered in that one tiny region, unable to find work elsewhere. The population swelled, and the previously pristine plains and rivers were covered in slums, vast tracts of land consisting of little more than tents and shanty towns surrounding clusters of factories. The largest of these clusters was located in the appromixate center of the isthmus, and this eventually became the region's capital, called Median City for its location between the two eastern continents. The wealthy and the government troops built themselves vast palaces, skyscrapers rising in the air and filled with all the pleasures that the people below were denied. About 40 years before the present, a director of one of the larger factory clusters named Kerwin Thriax acquired a hunger for power and began to amass an army led by himself and other powerful men, with the rank and file composed mainly of hastily equipped workers and slum dwellers. They used a plain black flag for their symbol. Once the officials in Median City got word of a workers' revolution, it was too late for them. The Thriaxians had surrounded median city and millions upon millions of slum dwellers were gathering any weapons they could, even partially dismantling their shanties and wielding chunks of scrap. All advanced on the heavily fortified, yet pitifully undermanned center of Median City, with its gargantuan Median Tower in the dead center of a cluster of smaller skyscrapers. The Thriaxians closed in, overwhelmed the garrison, climbed over the barriers, and worked their way up to the apex of Median Tower, massacring the rich denizens every step of the way. Unrelenting, they fought their way through the last of the guards and up into the penthouse suite. At the highest balcony of the building, the region's governor was blown over the edge by a shotgun blast fired by Kerwin Thriax himself, after Kerwin told him "Your time is over. Mine has begun." In what would become the most featured event in Thriaxian art and history, Kerwin stripped the bloodied black shirt from his body and handed it to one of his soldiers, with a command to hang it from the highest point on the tower. The soldier complied, tying the shirt onto the antenna tower in the first hoisting of the Onyx Banner, even as the city burned. This man would later become Thriax's right hand man and would be instrumental in future victories. Kerwin Thriax installed himself as supreme leader quickly, proclaiming himself the Lord Marshal Thriax. He sent his blackshirts to suppress any counter-revolutionary resistance. His shirt was eventually retrieved and enshrined, replaced by a far larger black banner on a point near the top of the newly named Thriax Tower, dead in the middle of Thriax Center. The Onyx Revolution was successful, but there were other problems ahead. The nation whose region had been taken over invaded the land soon, trying to retake a major industrial center. Thriax used the immediate danger to his advantage, marshaling dissenters to defend their new country. It was a long and bloody war, but finally the Thriaxians prevailed. Kerwin Thriax became the center of a massive, state-enforced cult of personality. He was venerated as a living god, and as the years passed dissent fell slowly. Millions joined the Army, but Thriax knew he needed more than ill-equipped, fanatical army to defend his land and to expand his empire. He ordered the expansion of the already huge manufacturing and resource gathering sector, building an air force and navy. Within five years after the end of the war, the nation was stronger militarily and industrially than ever, but the huge population, even a fanatical one, could not tolerate such cramped conditions indefinitely, and they did need land to farm. To the north and south were nations Thriax did not want to attack just yet, and so he used his large navy to take the surrounding islands, not only for farmland and more cities, but to act as a barrier from a seaborne attack. For the past few decades, Thriaxia has struggled to maintain a two-front war with the island confederations to the east and north, as well as to suppress strong internal threats. The government also had to somehow deal with the lack of land and multiple famines. They became a major importer of food, counteracting the massive loss in funds by allocating a significant portion of industry to serve as "designated export producers," mostly supplying the less reputable nations of the world as well as criminal and terrorist organizations, producing everything from illicit drugs, chemical weapons, small arms, ammunition, military hardware, and always complimentary Thriaxian propaganda. Present day Thriaxia. The Empire has now expanded from its cramped isthmus and conquered the majority of the outlying islands, converting many of the major landforms into naval and air force bases. Fighting still continues sporadically. The economy is entering another downturn as it exits another famine. The military is having trouble containing widespread insurgency. Kerwin Thriax, age 71, has died of cancer. His only surviving son, also named Kerwin Thriax, has taken the mantle of Lord Marshal and is doing his best to alleviate the continuing problems and secure the survival of the Thriax dynasty. The 21-year-old is the only survivor of a rebel attack on Thriax Center which nearly led to the downfall of the empire. Overcrowding is still critical, as are the food shortages. Thriaxian forces still maintain a large army and navy. The Army is composed of two informal "types" of soldiers: simply equipped militia, usually employing human wave attacks, and a smaller, veteran, expertly trained, better equipped sector, called the "Black Guard" considered more loyal to the dynasty than the militias and thus given greater responsibility. Thriaxian military doctrine is simple: overwhelming power with as much mobility as can be facilitated by sea and air power. Most shipbuilding and aircraft capacity is used for the purpose of transporting militia to battle zones. The Air Force has little purpose aside from this. The Navy, however, pays a good deal of attention to its battle fleet (as opposed to transport craft) for the purpose of securing its island holdings and providing an effective barrier between hostile fleets and the "mainland" isthmus. Most of the powerful citizens reside in the "Towers," the area of highrises and skyscrapers in the middle of Thriax Center and other cities. The "middle class," which are party officials, dynasty loyalists, and military officers, live in high rises and modest apartment buildings in the inner cities. Like fifty years ago, the majority of the population still lives in poverty in vast, sprawling slums. Despite the island expansion, 90% of the population still resides on the isthmus.

The first permanent settlers of the islands were Jason di Viola, a man believed to be of French-Italian descent, and his family and friends. Other people would eventually land on the same island, which is now known as Shinoh Island, which was being settled by Jason di Viola, after Jason sent messengers back to his original lands telling them about his discovery. As Jason had led the first settlers during their first months in the island, the people of the settlement decided to crown Jason as their King. The people then asked Jason to name the settlement and the island itself. The island and the settlement had remained unnamed even after Jason and his followers landed on the island and established the settlement. Jason decided to name the island as "Terne". According to legends, Jason named the island "Terne" since it was the first word that popped up in his head when he was asked to name the island. The settlement, meanwhile, was named as "Frazione di Gazze" ("Village of the Magpies") due to the large population of magpies outside of the settlement. This settlement would eventually evolve to become Città gazze, which is the current capital of the Commonwealth of Tern. After consulting with other family members and residents of Frazione di Gazze, Jason created the flag of Frazione di Gazze, which was a magpie feather imposed on a violet and white field. This flag eventually became the flag of the island, and is currently the flag of the Commonwealth of Tern. After being crowned as the King of Frazione di Gazze and Terne, Jason established his own royal house known as the House of Violets. The House of Violets then became the ruling royal house of Frazione di Gazze and Terne for many centuries to come. Under the rule of Jason di Viola, Frazione di Gazze began to expand. Buildings made out of stone eventually replaced the original buildings made out of wood and other debris. Institutions, such as schools, hospitals, libraries and scientific centres, began to appear in Frazione di Gazze. Due to these improvements, the population of Frazione di Gazze began to increase. Frazione di Gazze was renamed to Città gazze ("City of the Magpies") during this time. While Città gazze was expanding, Jason di Viola began to send people to establish more settlements throughout the island. The first successful settlement established outside of Città gazze was Cape Rouge, which was located on a peninsula northwest of Città gazze. More settlements were established on the island (such as Snowpoint). Jason di Viola even decided to send settlers to two small islands located west of Terne. These settlers eventually established the settlements of Syracuse and Alerte. At first, Jason's descendants and eventual successors to the Throne of Città gazze and Terne were fair, just, knowledgeable and benevolent like Jason di Viola. However, over time, the head of the House of Violets became malevolent and corrupt. As a result, Terne began to spiral into corruption and instability. A man named Fowl di Viola, a direct descendant of Jason di Viola, eventually became the 49th King of Città gazze and Terne. Like his predecessors, he was corrupt, malevolent and selfish. As soon as he came into power, he ordered the execution of his greatest political opponents and banished anyone who opposed him to the islands located south of Terne. These people, known as Orangists (Orange was considered to be opposite of Violet in Terne during that time) would eventually establish the city of Canalave and became the ancestors of the Orange Islands' residents. Fowl di Viola's actions were completely expected. He kept the best for himself, took the best products of his citizens as "taxes", and made himself, his family and his cronies richer while the regular citizens became poorer. Eventually, a resistance group began to form in the masses. A resistance group known as the "Pure Violets" was the first group to form, and it was also the largest and most influential. They claimed to be upholding the ideals of Jason di Viola, the founder of Città gazze, Terne and the House of Violets, who was extremely noble in contrast to his descendants. Fowl di Viola, after hearing about the Pure Violets, ordered that any member of the group would be executed, while anyone who helped the group would be banished. Thousands of executions, banishments and arrests would soon follow. Even people who had nothing to do with the Pure Violets were falsely accused and were executed or banished. Despite this, the strength of the Pure Violets continued to grow. They eventually became powerful enough that they decided to storm the King's official residence in Città gazze... [size="4"][b]Political Map[/b][/size] The Commonwealth of Tern is composed of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_%28administrative_division%29"]cantons[/url], which are administrative regions in a country (OoC: In Tern, they are similar to the states of the United States, and the provinces of Canada).

loannes Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Name of Nation: Drakorian Confederation Primary Languages: English History: Drakoria is a loose confederation of small 'tribes' located in the far north of the world, much like their roots. They are the remains of the Grand Empire of Drakoria, which once spanned much of the continent. Originally, in 800 BC, Drakoria was much like it is now, minus a central government. Many tribes, claiming their own plots of land, and, due to a lack of sufficient mapmaking tools, were often at war due to border disputes. [img]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7963/tribalmap.png[/img] [size="1"][i]Drakoria, circa 800 BC [/i][/size] Twenty-seven tribes, the most powerful of which were the Dratii (black) and the Torenau (brown). These two had a history of good relations, but were despised by the warlords of the neighboring tribes, and the Island Raiders, those that lived off the coast of Drakoria, would often strike them when they could. From 793 to 791 BC, there was a concentrated series of raids against the Torenau and Dratii, assisted, secretly, by the smaller Razenav tribe to the north of the Torenau. When the latter discovered this, they launched a vicious war against the Razenav. The warlords and chieftain were executed, and the Razenav subjugated into a barely-sovereign territory watched by the Torenau. In 786 BC, the King of the Dratii put forth a proposition to the Torenau, proposing a unification, and a campaign to rule all of the known world. After a year of discussion, the Dratii and Torenau signed an oath to join together, and brought the Razenav into the fold with them. This king, Drakon Ariogaisus, is the namesake of the Drakorian peoples, for this effort. They began massive projects to conquer their neighbors, and to bring the Raiding Tribes to heel. The reason they had been unable to do so was a lack of proper ships. But now, dozens of galleys were built by Dratii and Torenau craftsmen, and armies were levied and trained, and by 784 BC, they were at the peak of military readiness for their times. They began a massive offensive in 783 BC. The Dratii-Torenau Flotilla set sail with 250,000 men, one of the largest forces known to the Drakorian people of the time, and moved to neutralize and occupy the Island Tribes. A further 450,000 warriors, armed in the best armor and weaponry the Dratii-Torenau union could provide, launched a campaign to secure the coastal regions of Drakoria. The islands fell within three years, and the coastal regions were under complete Dratii-Torenau control by 772 BC. [img]http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2523/unitedone.png[/img] By this time, King Drakon was growing old, at 58 years. He was, however, determined to unite the tribes under his rule before his death. When he received news of the fall of the Ostenau from the last island, he ordered those warriors to return home, leaving enough men to maintain order, and mounted a vigorous assault against the remaining tribes, the largest campaign force in Drakorian tribal history, with nearly 700,000 warriors, divided into more manageable armies under loyal warlords. As the war came to a close, Drakon fell ill, and was barely able to rule the Dratii-Torenau union. Sheer willpower kept him alive the last two months. News came to him of the final surrender, the conquest of the Yorenii, and he was asked, "What shall you name your new kingdom?" To which he replied, "Name it something worthy." And he passed on. His heir, Valkon Arminus, named the nation Drakoria, in honor of his father. This term now applies to those tribes that existed then and now. [img]http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7623/mapqk.png[/img] [size="1"][i]Drakon's Empire at his death, circa 764 BC[/i][/size] The new nation would remain dormant for the next 250 years, repairing the damage, building new infrastructure, and prospering. In 503 BC, the Drakorian king, Valkon Hasdrubal, fell ill and died, naming his son, Drakon Hannibal, his successor. His son was an ambitious one, but only 16 years old. His namesake gave him much to live up to, and he felt compelled to expand the nation to greater glory. Although Drakoria had advanced and centralized, most of the rest of the continent remained uncivilized and unorganized. In Drakon's mind, ripe for the picking. He ordered his generals to raise as many men as they could for combat, and train them as well as they could. He restlessly awaited completion, but felt the results were worth the wait. By his nineteenth birthday, the military had expanded to a staggering one million warriors. A war had just broken out in the nearby territories, and Drakon seized this opportunity. He intervened in favor of one tribe, and sent 900,000 soldiers into the region to prepare for war. Frightened by this army, the tribes came to Drakon for peace, but the king would have none of it, and led one portion of his army into battle personally, crushing a coalition force near the border. After four more victories on the field, the Drakorian army's morale was at an all time high, and the tribesmen returned to their cities, and did not stray. The 875,000 remaining Drakorians marched across the eastern part of the wildlands, taking many forts without a fight. Five years later, the eastern region was under Drakorian rule. Drakon rebuilt his army for one year, then set out once more for conquest. The next forty years were constant warfare and rebellion for Drakoria, both at home and abroad. If an army lost a battle, the people at home would riot, only held under control by local militias. Subjugated tribes were also resentful, and rebelled whenever they saw a weakness. No rebellion was successful. By 460 BC, the Drakorian Empire had reached the opposite coast. Most resistance remaining was scattered and ineffective, and fell with ease to the large Drakorian army. All but the western islands and peninsula. Drakon led an assault against the peninsula with 150,000 of his best soldiers, while the rest of his army mopped up the last of the tribes. They found themselves facing organized guerrilla warfare, which effectively picked off up to a few hundred men a day. They struck the Drakorians from afar, with bows and javelins, and would only strike up close if there was an isolated section or supply unit. For four years, the aging King Drakon marched around the peninsula, desperately attempting to wipe out resistance, but for every one guerrilla his men killed, he lost five men. In 456 BC, he gave up his attack, with over a third of his army destroyed, and returned to Drakoria. He led a failed attack on several of the western islands, before succeeding in subduing the northwest. He made no further attempts at conquest. [img]http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7156/drakorianempire.png[/img] King Drakon died in 448 BC. His nephews, brother, and sons fought bitterly over his empire. After seven years, only his son survived, but he'd lost the loyalty of his generals, and, slowly, his empire dissolved, and lands seceded under the rule of his generals. The Greater Drakorian Empire had more than tripled in size within fifty years, but was back at it's old size within ten. By 439 BC, King Drakon's empire was no longer a reality. His generals tried to hold the people together, but they revolted, and became, once more, self-governed. Drakoria waged occasional wars against the tribes for the next few hundred years, but never on the scale of Drakon Hannibal. The borders were relatively unchanged. Drakoria had the potential to rise to the status of 'global power', but with the rise of Hakon Crassus, they found themselves impossibly set back. Hakon was a bumbler, but didn't realize it, and would impose laws he thought were good ideas, but only hindered Drakoria. And, so, in 1043 AD, the Empire broke up into tribes once more, and would stay so until 1399, when the direct heir of Drakon Hannibal, Greggory King, held a summit in the former Drakorian capital of Dratius, uniting the petty states once more, and he and his heirs slowly centralized Drakoria once more up until 1836, when a revolution rocked Drakoria, and the king was sent into hiding. A president was elected by the still-distinct tribes, and a semi-centralized government established. The nation has remained so since then. But at the same time, the Heir of Drakon Hannibal lives on. One day, he may decide to fix this poorly established nation. At this time, Drakoria is steady, but not as stable as it could be. The 'tribes' refuse to give the central government the power necessary to work and maintain order, and so Drakoria, despite having grand resource deposits, cannot flourish.

These clans are all different in some respects, and it has created an interesting situation in Alba and the need for the current system of government which gives respect to all peoples within Alba without elevating one above the rest. However, some elevation is inevitable, and is a direct result of the history of Alba. They have spread all over the continent, except into Drakoria. Large populations of Albans in Estovakia and Britain are existent due to their migration across the continent.[/size][/font][/color] [font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="3"][color="#1C2837"] [/color][/size][/font] [color="#1C2837"][font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="2"]About 200 years before the Common Era, the people of Alba began to settle down into agricultural societies, and clans began to develop to protect the interests of assorted agricultural groups, such as battling the residents of Alba who had not yet settled down and continued to raid the agricultural portions of Alban society. However, they were mostly eradicated in the Great Purge of 34 BCE, with only a couple truly remote tribes remaining in lands that are mostly un-Alban, that is, islands off to the North. [/size][/font][/color] [font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="3"][color="#1C2837"] [/color][/size][/font] [color="#1C2837"][font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="2"]The first true civilization of Alba was the First Kingdom of Alba, established by Seumas the Great in 58 CE. He conquered much of Northern and Central Alba, and established an Empire that would come to benefit Alba as a whole despite his short-lived dynasty. He established an Imperial Road Network and a system of early schools, despite a lack of precedent in Alba. He did, however, base these schools on those established by the Creadeamh na Alba, the first religion of Alba and one that was based around something that could be best referenced and referred to as a fusion of Judeo-Christian philosophy in a monotheistic theory as well as a spiritual understanding of the world around. One supreme Lord, and spirits that inhabit everything. It promotes a unity with nature and mankind. Creadeamh established the first schools, which were private institutions around Alba. One of these was the first University ever founded in the world, Ollscoil na Inverness, which became a university in the modern sense after King James I funded the original school, which had begun to break away from Creadeamh teachings and into other fields as well. It currently possesses the oldest library in the world, which is also the largest, and is widely considered to be a true bastion of intelligence in all corners of the world.[/size][/font][/color] [font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="3"][color="#1C2837"] [/color][/size][/font] [color="#1C2837"][font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="2"]King Seumas died in 72 CE. His son, Alasdair I, took the throne and continued many of his father's policies, while also expanding the Empire to the size of Alba in the modern age, plus the small independent region to the Northeast. This was to be the realm of Alba for many, many centuries. [/size][/font][/color] [font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="3"][color="#1C2837"] [/color][/size][/font] [color="#1C2837"][font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="2"]Centralized rule collapsed after Alfred I, with the rise of the clan again and the respect for the Emperor as only a position with a title, not actual power. The clans would war with one another, developing better and better weapons, and occasionally uniting to drive out invaders, until the year 1700, when they were finally all united again with the election of Archon Stiùbhard Cuimeineach, first Archon of Alba. The support for this system effectively united the loose clans of Alba, except for the stubbornly independent clan of Sinclair to the Northeast, which remains independent to this day. A Constitution was written in 1702, establishing a Parliamentary system with the Emperor as the technical head of state, though without any real power. Alba continued to be a leader and technology and is such to this day.

They were at war with at war constantly, and only banded together when facing a common threat, and it wasn't until 900 AD when the ruler of a small Germanic kingdom, Albert II, launched an aggressive war of conquest against his neighbors, forming a powerful empire, which he named "Deutschland" or Germany in the native tongue German. The German Empire, as it was commonly known, continued to exist for a millennium until war broke out with several neighboring states, lasting from 1910 to 1919, devastating the Empire, and the victorious nations forced Germany to oblige to a set of humiliating dictates, including a rule stating that the Empire be dissolved and a republic be established in its place, and another that limited the size of Germany's military. Of course, these rules and regulations led to Germany's economic ruin in the decade following the war, and a group of prideful Germans decided to do something about it, this group formed a party called the [i]Nationalistische Partei Deutschlands[/i], or the Nationalist Party of Germany (NPD). In 1935, the leader of the NPD, Hermann Falkh, was elected chancellor, and he soon transformed Germany into a dictatorship, launching several wars against Germany's neighbors lasting from 1942 to 1956, until they were all under Nationalistische rule, and the NPD ruled Germany until Falkh's successor, Wilhelm Stauffen, died in 1987, and a republic was once again formed. The nations that were under NPD control declared independence in the wake of this. When Falkh took power, he renamed Germany to Gross Deutschland, which it continues to be called today.

Known as the Lyaan People from early on, their advances in marine science and development placed them as one of the stronger trading powers of the ancient world. As farming technology expanded, the small towns and villages along the coast began to grow into large urban centers, these city-states functioned independently for hundreds of years, expanding their small spheres of influence from the coast out into the central plains of the countryside. Through this expansion, the city states were able to gain access to various trade commodities, as well as make contact and eventually subjugate the other nomadic tribes in the region, eventually expanding to encompass the mountain ranges in the south west. As expansion began to slow down the various city-states began to conflict with one another over rights and resources leading to years of war between the city-states, this factionalism would come back to haunt the Lyaan people in the future. Due to their separation and refusal to work together, the city states, that had by the Middle Ages and Renaissance become extraordinarily wealthy, were pray to larger nations such as the then ‘Empire of Lacedaemon’. During the first stages of the Tintagyl Expansion, the Lyaan City States were not able to hold back against, one due to separation, and two due to the shrewdness of the Lacedaemonian strategies of allying states against each other to achieve their goals. By 1780, the entire expanse of Lya was incorporated into the Lacedaemonian Republic and the city-states enjoyed an explosion of freedom, prosperity, scientific and cultural advancement. That is not to say that the Lyaan States did not enjoy their own advancements prior to the Empire’s expansion, the city state of Lya, which was the most prosperous of all the states, had been the center of cultural and scientific advancement for the neighboring regions, building the University of Lya in the last 1600s and producing legendary figures in the literary and musical arts, as well as science and philosophy. These reforms eventually led to the Deist Revolution that changed thoughts of science and theology through the country forever. After the Death of Tintagyl and the subsequent genocides in the Republic, the leaders of the Lyaan States began to separate themselves from Republican affairs and eventually, given the strain of the Nerdu Wars, the Republic allowed for the session of the Lyaan People. Upon gaining their freedom, the states immediately descended into a civil war, however the Doge of the state of Vinay was able to subjugate all other city-states and push the Lyaans into a Republican Form of government that had been left from the previous idealism held in Vinay due to Lacedaemonian reforms. Moving his capital back to Lya, the Doge, Otto Karoling, moved to give new breath to the Lyaan Republic. Slowly, the Republic began to recover from its centuries of civil strife and unrest. To keep the newly formed nations from subjugating the new Federal States again, a professional military was created.

Californian Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) [b]Name of Nation:[/b] Virtua [b]Motto:[/b] Quaero Pro Veritas [b]Primary Languages:[/b] Latin is the official language of Virtua. It is the primary language taught in schools. English is a de-facto language spoken by about 85% of the population. It is taught as a secondary language in school and is the most common language at the harbor. [b]History:[/b] Approximately 100 BC a great Empire of old traveled to the uninhabited island of Virtua. Upon landing and discovering its sustainable freshwater lake, an outpost was established at the site of the current harbor city Licentia. This small settlement of approximately 3,000 planted sustenance crops and were able to maintain near autonomy from the Empire land. The Empire became engaged in a series of wars around 150 AD and due to its distant location the island of Virtua was never threatened. After experiencing a series of defeats, the Empire was soon toppled in 269 AD and after this point Virtua was almost completely cut off from the mainland. For the next 1000 years Virtuans slowly became more accustomed to their island. Fishing and raising a limited number of crops provided them with food while aptly named Lake Vida allowed the islanders to have a constantly refillable reservoir capable of supporting the growing population. By 750 the population had reached 40,000. At the historic Council of Pax held in 789, the council which headed this small group of people implemented a series of rules and laws that formed the nation into its current state. All violence was forbidden and all weapons were to be confiscated and melted immediately. In addition, citizens were encouraged to focus on scholarly activities and educations soon became the forefront of this civilization. The old outpost city was demolished to cleanse the island of its former sinister history and a new metropolis was raised upon it, named Licentia. A large portion of the city population migrated to form a second city on the island, which was the beginning of the capital city Pax. All was content for the next hundreds of years... In the year 1396 a small group of ships docked in Licentia. The customs of these people were quite strange and the islanders were perplexed. Fortunately the ships had only peaceful intents and traded with the islander before setting sail. This was to be the rise of Licentia as the world's largest merchant port. For the next hundreds of years ships from all nations docked in Virtua due to its strategic location in the Romulus Ocean, quickly turning Licentia into a busy port. In 1678 the first Consulate was formed. The Consulate was formed by three consuls, one for science, the arts, and island administration. Selection was based on how accomplished the persons were, forming a sort of meritocracy. By the 1800s Licentia was a sprawling metropolic containing about 25% of the island's population and the Consulate became worried that the more barbaric outside world was tainting the Virtuan utopia. They decreed the Virtua Protection Act, which disallowed outsiders from traveling outside of Licentia. In addition, outsider-only sections of town were constructed to hold the numerous hotels, bars, and religious buildings that came along with them. Trade was now how Virtua made its money and by the mid 1950s it more than quadrupled the money brought in from the next largest sector, fishing. However times were once again changing. Although Virtua has no military, it did import five 10 pounder cannons to guard the harbor. Today, the same cannons serve a more ceremonial purpose and welcome important delegations and vessels. In addition, a security detail of 2,500 police were formed to patrol the harbor. This Peace Corps is currently the only security force on the island and is not equipped for full scale combat. The population had grown to over 250,000 and academia remained the focus of Virtuan existence. Engineers, mathematicians, artists, and sculptors became universally recognized and respected, leading the nation to prosperity. However in the past decade a controversial program was created by the government and involved many of the leading engineers at the time. Rumors started by the government claimed it was making nuclear weapons, something very much against Virtuan ideals of peace and neutrality. The government was indeed developing the weapons and has approximately 150 active nuclear devices located well below ground on the island. Though a point of considerable controversy, the government refuses to confirm or deny the existence of such weapons. In keeping with Virtuan policy of neutrality, the government actively seeks to form Non-Aggression Pacts and Trade Agreements with all governments of the world. The Republic of Lacedaemon was one of the first to engage in diplomatic relations with Virtua and the two nations have maintained a NAP for over a century. To this day trade remains the largest sector of the Virtuan economy, though the booming banking sector is now a fierce rival. Due to the lax tax laws, Virtua has become a tax haven of sorts and many off shore bank accounts from other nations are located securely in Virtua vaults.

Back in the 1600s, two rival pirating groups of Irish descent inhabited the two main islands. Over the years, each wanted more power and control, and with their bases far outside normal shipping lanes, started to war with each other. The three small islands between the two main ones became scenes of numerous battles before, after nearly 100 years of constant wars, the two sides came to reconciliation due to their leaders, Daniel Patrick and Michael Donaldson. The Patrickson Alliance was born. During the recent Cold, and hot, War, the Alliance has mostly stayed in it's own corner of the world, but has started to stir in terms of world affairs. The people are intensely patriotic and are exceptionally proud of their Irish heritage. Total Land Area: 254,464 sq. km 98,268 sq. mi.

jutopia la Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Mind if I join? *Please tell me if anything is too strong* Much more to come soon Claim is in bright yellow [IMG]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm142/jutopia/RepublicofJutopiaClaim.jpg[/IMG] Name of Nation: Republic of Jutopia Primary Languages: English History: FOUNDATION (800-500 B.C.) ~800 B.C.- 2 groups of Jewish tribes settle on the Eastern coast of modern day Jutopia. The two established cities are Jutocity and Sansville. They originally live harmoniously together. ~750 B.C.- Assassination of head of State of Jutocity heighten tensions between the two City-States. Blame immediately goes on the Sansvillians although no proof is shown. Records show that there had been accusations of unfair trade practices beforehand on both sides. A bitter 50 year rivalry begins. ~700 B.C.- The opposing states become weary of the other's military buildup. The ultimate cause of war is unknown, but it is expected to be a series of mysterious ambushes on Sansvillian military forts followed by a declaration of war. ~700-675 B.C.- The Jutocity-Sansville (Popularly known as the First War) begins. After 25 years of grueling battle, Jutocity proves victorious. All Sansville territory is taken over and any sympathizers are exiled. ~650-500 B.C.- Built up by momentum of the past war, Jutopians enter a period of expansion. They nearly triple their size suffering relatively little losses. The financial costs, however, are great. TROUBLED TIMES (500 B.C.-67 A.D.) ~500-200 B.C.- A period of prosperity ensures. The period is known as the First Great Peace. 204 B.C.- Jutopian government issues the "Cruel" tax, raising rates substantially in order to offset the costs of war. The government ignores the people's cry to remove the tax 150-57 B.C.- The Antiquity Rebellions on the outskirts of Jutopian territory begin. Morale in the army is low due to an unpopular government. Debt piles up in order to suppress the rebellions. Most territory is maintained 49 B.C.- Jutopians in the capital Jutocity raid the leader's palace. Struggle for leadership ensues for the next 14 years. 42 B.C.- Neighboring Bronstonia takes advantage of the Jutopian instability and begins an invasion. It makes quick gains due to a lack of real unity. 40 B.C.- Jutocity is sacked. Survivors seek exile in a small town 50 miles south. 39 B.C.- General Adam gains huge support after a decisive victory just above the small town. He rallies enough support to negotiate a peace agreement. Jutopia agrees to relinquish a decent part of its eastern lands. 35 B.C.- Adam is crowned king of Jutopia. He initiates several economic reforms which begin to stabilize the economy. 15 A.D.- Adam's son and successor, Joseph, issues a decree for the largest military buildup in Jutopian history. He sets his sights on Bronston, recently weakened because of over expansion. 20-66 A.D.- The Bronstonian War (Popularly known as Joseph's Grudge) begins with a mounted invasion. The bloodiest battles up to date occur. After a long time, Jutopia wins. In 30 A.D. Joseph dies of tuberculosis; his successor, Stanley, takes charge. 67 A.D.- Jutopian territory now encompasses most of the north of its modern day. The capital is reestablished at Stanton. EMPIRE (67-807) 70-450- Stanley declares himself emperor. He begins a long period of imperial wars. Jutopia expands greatly in the process. The borders of the Jutopian Empire exceed modern day lines. 450-805- The Second Great Peace begins. The Jutopian Empire expands greatly and trade flourishes 805- Philip, considered the Jutopian Empires most incompetent emperor takes the throne. Two of his closest advisers compete for influence. 807- Steven the isolator gets takes power from Philip and exiles his opponent. The Edict of 807 completely closes Jutopia off from the world. ISOLATION (807-1623) 807-1620- A series of lackluster leaders take power. The Jutopian economy remains relatively stagnant; standard of living actually decreases due to ending outside trade. Territories on the edge chip away over time 1623- Steven II takes control. He is a liberal who immediately issues the Edict of 1623, reopening Jutopia to the world END EMPIRE (1623-1859) 1650- Stanley X initiates the Stanton reforms. Severely limiting the power of the people 1702- At 52 years of reign, Stanley becomes the longest reigning Jutopian emperor in its history. Seeking to further increase his control, he dissolves the legislative body 1715- Stanley XI takes succeeds Stanley X and reigns until 1769 1850- James IV suppresses violently suppresses a protest in what was nicknamed "The Jutocity Massacre." 1853- All private press is shut down. Only the state sponsored news is allowed 1859- The Katz plot manages to assassinate James IV. A new direct democracy is established ENTER REPUBLIC (1859-1901) 1870- At this point the direct democracy becomes increasingly inefficient. Influence is severely placed on the elite by threatening the poor to vote one way. 1901- Reformers meet together and construct a constitutional republic. INDUSTRIALIZATION, REPUBLIC, BOOM (1901-Present) 1905- First elected President of the Republic, Seth Katz Jr. His term begins January 1, 1905. 1940- The industrial bill of 1930 speeds up industrial development. The Jutopian economy rapidly expands. Economic growth in the 1940s averages at a yearly 10%, 1950s 8%, 1960s 5%, 1970s 4%. Growth slows in early 1980s, but is still relatively strong 1989- The Republic of Jutopia proudly stands as it is.

Subtleknifewielder Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) To be honest, the Air Force seems a bit unbalanced compared to the rest of your military...unless you simply deliberately focusing more on Air power than the other military forces? Other than that, you''re definitely good. Edited March 9, 2010 by Subtleknifewielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
