This is rater an interesting topic.
Generally I had a big distaste and hate for misinformation given what is going lately. What is worse is people editing wrong info for malicious reasons. Yet to me it would be somewhat childish if people would waste their time in attempting to screw seriously around nationstates though.

General New Velkan Opinion of the ongoing Cricket Tournament: "Although we tried to ask, Archon Carro Pino refuse to say anything about the ongoing tournaments and her view about it. Stating the aspect of neutrality in behalf of Velka. However she did muttered any team who wins, will receives a personal gift from her and unlike someone out there, Archon Carro Pino never gives cheese.
For the other Kabals; it does seem put an interest to them that some either watch it on TV or personally went to the stadium anonymously to watch the ongoing matches."

Official Report from the Velkan Diplomatic Consulate:
"Situation between the 2 warring Velkan Kabals; named Kabal of Red Winter and the Kabal of the Eclipsed Sun had reached a white peace after the intervention of the Nevarine. All claims of both sides are temporary and required further formal argument to re-settle their claims. As result, all participating Velkans that fight along side in the war are demanded to be pulled out, with an exception of posing as mercenaries."

A report from the Embassy of New Velka in Termina:
"New Velka will remain out of the affairs of the Zoranian civil war. However before this announcement is to be done, 2 Kabals who are in a middle of dispute wished to settle it in combat to a point that both sides are now working as mercenaries for warring factions.
Whilst the NV government condemn this, that the two Kabals will not allowed to returned to New Velka or to the mainland until the end of the civil war as well as they must help the country afterwards in recovering."

(Work in Progress, further editing will be imposed on a latter date)
The Enclave of New Velka; is a colony in another realm called "Western Fridge" which was called "West Pacific" by it's local populace which was located south of the Andolia Continent. Under the orders of Ayla the Silverdawn, a host of various Velkans, Fortnight Clans as well as other people seeking adventure beyond.
Prior to the Conquest, the region was originally called as ____ made by several independent kingdoms and city-states which fractured from years of war among each other. With the time the arrival of the Velkans, the whole archipelago was conquered (after several years). However internal corruption due to that the lack of observance by most Velkans (as they simply allow their cohorts to manage the respective territories) led to the Crimson Warping.
After the Crimson Warping, massive reforms were done but the power vacuum leaves a Velkan named Carro Pino taking over and founded the "House of Pino"
-------
History
Due to the aftermath of the Velkan War, the cost to rebuild the country had drained a portion of Velkan's resources and wealth from decades of warfare. In addition, appearances of rift-portals across the land force the Velkans to deal with appearances of "outerworlders" which by orders of Lord was to close the rift-portals and escort the "outerworlders" back home or be dealt with by military means to those who are deemed hostile. Out of all portals, only one remained and out of curiosity, a high Velkan named Ayla personally led a small expedition force to scout whatever this realm was. After several weeks, the expedition force returned and the high Velkan personally want a to concur a meeting.
It is learned that they visited a land that was in a state of war by various warring factions. Whilst Ayla had secured several settlements under the Velkan control, there is still much to be done. This lead for a larger expedition that consist of 2 Kabals as well as several adventurers from other countries. In the battle that would be called "Terminus" shows the full might of the Velkans and those who fought against them surrendered or killed. This allowed the Velkans to expand further in the other islands, such as Medusa Island and Termina.
As various Fortnight Clans settled in the island of Marbule for themselves, which also dubbed as a staging post for future expansion should the High Velkan demands so.
Several further expedition was done to establish diplomatic and economic partnerships mostly under the work of Morgiana the Archeon of Bloody Rose to ensure the "legitimacy" of the Velkan Government in the Realm, one of this was securing order in the "eastern realm" by allowing the King of Asloniva to rule on behalf of the Eastern Realm making the state working on behalf of the Velkans. Another was conducting minor expeditions were done to chart the seas and land around the country.
The Crimson Warping:
In __, the King of Asloniva died which passes on to his son. However at that point the northern region of New Velka is more or less under direct Velkan control hence Morgiana enlist various nobles who wish to manage the state. However the corruption of the government in the northern region
is unquestionable high along the lack of popular support within it's people causes them to become frustrated over the years and they chafed under the Velkans. Which results in violent protest throughout the eastern realm, most notably led by the infamous "Sons of Meridia" and several radical religious groups that desires the independence of the whole region as well as removing the Velkans from power.
An incident in the border near of Tisiphone causes a riot which the members of the Enforcers had to quell it down. During that time the Marshall of Perkyl decided this moment to collect overdue taxes in the Eastern Realm which by an unwise move by plundering caches of gold in Asloniva. This results to criticism that some bold citizens in the region mocked the Marshall by "begging for spare change", this angered the Marshall and execute thousands of innocent lives (which at the time the Velkans are unaware of the situation) then he began to move reinforcements however this time the people began to resist. Overwhelm by the local population, the Enforcers retreated to the citadel in Perkyl as the Great Crimson Revolt began.
During that time the Sons of Meridia mobilized and attacked the garrison in the Fortress of ___ where they successfully overwhelm and massacre the 800 soldiers present in. In Perkyl, the Enforcers who manage to withdrawn to the Citadel sued for terms but they all killed when they surrender their weapons. After this united the various rebel groups, brutally seized the Asloniva and remove the puppet prince from power.
Tensions in the Eastern Realm among the disparate populations erupted as well. Fortnight Clans and many native folks allied to the Velkan cause began to massacre the anyone sided to the uprising such as in ___, ___ and ____. While the rebels prowl the land and kill anyone who attempted to stop them.
This had reach in the Tribunal Assembly and prepare to how to deal with the problem in the Eastern Realm, after some debating they order the Kabal of the Mooring Sun to quell the uprising. Archeon Kastinan marched to Asloniva with 15 thousand troops, with the objective to seize the capital and restore order but the siege failed and were ambushed in the plains of Aslon as they retreat westward. The lightly armed rebels wielding bows, javelins and makeshift rifles encircled them and inflicted huge losses. This results to the near annihilation of the Kabal of the Mooring Sun, as not only they lost the siege weapons that are totally intact, but also the "sigil stone" that said to be lost during the battle.
The news of the failed campaign reached the capital and alarmed the possibility of a massive incursion as the rebels were furthered strengthen by looted equipment. Because of this, they decided to call Mir who at the time were in the middle of an expedition in the "Shambala Tower". As they know that Mir is fully capable of destroying the insurrection.
Meanwhile Aranth's Fortnight Clan continued the sieges in the city-states. Whilst Meridia manage to thwart their efforts, the city of Perkyl however wasn't lucky and in 2 weeks the defenders were slaughtered along with the civilians trapped in. This act causes inspires a rebellion within Termina and temporary divided the city by half but it was only stopped with the efforts from the Kabal of the Sliver Spire. This pulls them to investigate theorizing that as their Archeon believed that someone is pulling the strings.
The situation between the Crimson Scar and the Tribunal had worsen as the "atmosphere" continues to spread as reports of meteor shows occur surrounding Colovia. Unable to meet settle an agreement, the Kabal of the Crimson Scar demand a battle and it was commenced in the outskirts of Colovia where Archeon Morkal rally his men against a combined forced made of Enforcers under Nemo, a group of Fortnight Clans under Marrow and militia forces from the cities of Yamarr and Termina.
Elsewhere __, a small detachment of forces from the Kabal of the Sliver Spire personally investigate the mysterious changing of atmosphere. There they suspected that a Velkan is behind the occurrence and need to find the culprit before anything goes wrong. However by the time they discover the cause of anomaly, the warping had began. Engulfing the island chains with a crimson-like fog, the whole story of what happened during the Crimson Warping was lost. Saved for the major Kabals that present in the country to become weaken in fighting save of the Sliverspire who only suffered a fracture of it's forces.
When the warping finally disappears, the ___ island itself was greatly changed as some parts were sunk into the sea. Colovia is now surrounded by sea, and the once tropic-like temperature had changed to a more temperate similar to the nations north. It is unknown how many people were affected but the problem was too big for the Enforcers to handle but when this sorted out with help from the respective Kabals, Pino herself offer to provide assistance. A humanitarian assistance provided with other nations was done, of course this greatly affected the prestige of New Velka but the political maneuver was already done. As this allows Carro Pino herself to take the helm of the New Velka government as it recovers. Lastly the Arbiter Assembly made a stricter rule to prevent another incident.
The rise of the House of Carro:
In the following decades, the 5 leading Kabals were overshadowed by Carro Pino whom establish her own rule of domain. Supported by sycophants and like-minded supports the "House of Pino" was founded. Although questioned how Pino gained the full authority from the Hierarchy in the homeland, it is likely she already planned it in advance when the Crimson Warping began. Despite of it, Pino advocates a more better of standard of living for the people in New Velka. Another was the law was modified to greatly prevent another incident similar to the Crimson Warping, to a point that anyone dared to question the "myth" about is shrugged off.

Politics
In compare back to the home realm, New Velka is under a "Stratocratic Federal Council" which is headed by the various Kabals and it's leading Archon.

In case of her absence was the Chancellor who acted as 2nd in command as well as a taking the diplomat ambassador role to other nations.
To ensure that the local peoples remain loyal to the Velkan Government, the "Tribunal Assembly" was created to allow the former lords that defected or sided with the Velkans to remain in power in return they continue their roles in maintain order in their respective territories which refereed as "counties".
Kabals:
An autonomous socio-economic paramilitary organization, it is somewhere between a fraternity, syndicate and a noble household. Each had a variety of power, control of several important institutions and individual positions, with direct participation restricted to High Velkans. The title of head of a Kabal is called Archon and each Kabal posses their own armies often both used in defending territories of influence or sending raiding parties to collect beasts, slaves, and anything else the Kabal may need. They had more free reign of "influence" in the country as well, however in terms of foreign affairs requires to settle the matter in the "Council of Archons".Also when there is a major dispute between 2 or more Kabals; they settle this by a duel. Also jurisdiction on the Kabals are very lax due to their own authority and because of it, New Velkan Embassy simply shrugs most of them as "petty thieves and pirates" in the eyes of the other nations.

The main goals of the Ministry is to represent New Velka before other states and international organizations; safeguarding the interests of the New Velkan Enclave and it's citizens abroad as well as maintaining closer relation with other Velkan Realms.
Whilst the Ministry advocates ensuring cooperation with other nations, they remained neutral in certain agendas.

This changed when Ayla led the Velkans to unify the land, often some of those city-states were destroyed or outright being seized by another as spoils of war.Military
Velkan Forces are for slowly building up, due to the prospects of opportunity. In addition, local militia forces from various settlements that were once belong by warring lords were present to defend their towns from various threats. Hence this was further organized into as "Enforcers" with a jurisdiction into maintaining law and order between counties.Another was the Expeditionary Fleet a navy which it's role was to patrol the sea's as well as to explore the realm under Mir as well as the smaller Merchant Fleet.
Enforcers:
Due the requirements of an independent peacekeeping force, the "Enforcers" was formed by members of the forces that live in New Velka. Often they work along with a Kabal to ensure that the Velkan Dictates would be enforced in the Enclave. They're well equipped enough to fight a minor war, but their main role is maintaining order. In short they're the police of New Velka. The actual size of the enforces as of ___, is around 25,000.The overall leader of the Enforcers is referred as "Grand Marshal" who represents the organization on the Senatorum situated at the capital itself. Below him are the Templars which oversee respective counties' security, below the Guardians are the Enforcers themselves. The organisation is well equipped and trained in combat as well as how to deal rogue Velkans that can be consider a security threat to the country and to the Western Fridge itself.

Good day to all members of the TWP. Well I was wondering this question (not sure if someone else does this), but how does your nation do in commerce? I mean, trading goods- or what they export or import for example.

New Velka uses the "Common Language" aka English for writing and speaking within and beyond it's borders. Likewise, the country uses the old velkan tongue.
