Culture
Ryxtylopian Culture was shaped by the cultures that came before mainly the: Tslaaní, Yilanian and Pestalpan cultures, since they were the primary cultures in the populated regions of Ryxtylopia, a lot of cultural development happened after the fall of the Guiltavacha dictatorship in Ryxtylopia in 1389, during the dictatorship period, cultural displays were supressed by the goverment as they were seen as "uncivilized" and the goverment tried to make a new image of Ryxtylopian culture.
 
With the end of the Guiltavacha dictatorship in 1389, Ryxtylopian culture continued its evolution to adapt to the modern world, and this evolution continues to this day, with the younger people transforming the traditions and the Ryxtylopian identity as a whole.
 
 
Clothing
Traditional Ryxtylopian clothing is varied, and can ddepend on the region, with a divide between east and west, and the north islands of Tirilpa and Pinichaca also having their own traditional clothing being separated from the mainland.
But men mostly wear a light short-sleeved shirt called a Hipilca, they can be different colors but most are white or khaki, some Hipilcas can have stripes with different patterns ranging from flowers to complex drawings, and recently long-sleeves version of this shirt have become popular, despite this basically all Hipilcas are made by hand, and the goverment has protected theese small producers despite several scandals with large scale manufacturers.
For pants again the clothing is mostly light, ocasionally shorts are used, and there theese pants can continue the lines with patterns on them, they're mainly khaki, if not black, unlike the shirts theese can be just normal pants you get from the store but the ones that continue the patterns seen in the shirts are locally made.
And finally hats, men wear medium to long brim hats called Sonquibas, theese can vary in size and are usually made of straw, but more expensive ones are made from different materials, common colors are once again khaki, white and black and hats usually don't have patterns on them, if they do they're usually pretty small and not very noticable.
 
                                                   
Seen above, examples of Hipilcas, with different patterns, theese patterns vary depending on the region.
Seen below, an example of a Sonquiba, they can be quite varied in terms of material used to make them.

 
Traditional clothing for women usually consists of similarly to men a short sleeved shirt called a Guitivyá (or it can be without sleeves entireley) with patterns depicting nature, culture, and other stuff also present, theese usually being all over the shirt, the background of theese shirts can be different colors, mainly white, khaki and black, but the patterns can go wild with the colors since they're meant to stand out.
Then you have long skirts called Guitavayás, again continuing the patterns seen in the shirts, theese do weigh a bit, and they are held to the shirts by leather belts, but poorer people can use strings or ropes to hold it toogheter, the skirts are produced locally, since mass producers have a hard time adapting to the local market and copying patterns.
Women also have the option of wearing a dress theese dresses are called Giutachá'atas, that basically is a combination of the shirt and the skirt, but with more complex patterns, cheaper dresses can take weeks to make and more expensive ones months, so dresses are usually more expensive than the Guitivyás and Guitivayás combined, so they're mostly used in special ocasions (parties and festivals).
 
                                                    
Seen above, examples of Guitivyás, the patterns can be in different spots or all over the shirts.
Seen below, Guitavayás, they can have or not have patterns, those that don't usually have more vibrant colors to make them stand out.
                                                   
 
 
Food
There's a lot of variety in food, different regions having different sorts of food. But a staple throught most of Ryxtylopia is basically any type of seafood, being basically a peninsula in the northernmost point of mainland Aura, the people in Ryxtylopia have always relied a lot on fishing and this can be seen in the variety of dishes that have some sort of fish-meat in them usually fried or boiled, they're also usually accompanied by grains like rice, corn and other grains and many types of sauces.
 
                                                   
Some examples of Ryxtylopian food in the coast, on both you can see its accompanied by some sort of grain.
 
Toscadas are also quite popular (basically hardened tortillas) they're easy to make, and they taste good with any sauce or food, in Ryxtylopia a popular sauce is Hibachaca Sauce, its a sauce made from tomatoes, peppers, onions and other ingredients for seasoning, its spicy but not too spicy and many people like it that way.
 
                                                   
On the left, Hibachaca Sauce, and on the right a plate with Toscadas, theese can be accompanied by almost any flavor imaginable.
 
In the center of the country the food changes, as its more mountainous and further away from the coast the people there rely more on animals, goat meat is very popular, and its cooked in many varieties, fried, deep fried, or "smoked" (basically instead of having it a flame or hot surface cook it, its cooked with smoke from coal or wood).
In the drinks department, drinks called "Aqui'xel(s)" are widley consumed, basically mixes of water, sometimes milk, and different mixes of grains, theese drinks have been consumed for centuries in this region, despite this Ryxtylopians love soda, with local soda brands "Rifrescantí" and "Chapas" being very popular, while foreign brands still hold a considerable ammount of the soda market.
In Pinichaca coffee is produced and "Pinichacan coffee" is very popular there, and still consumed throught a lot of the country, Pinichacan coffee is charactarized by being very sweet, but it losses its distinct taste when cold so its better to drink it while its hot, and therefore its consumed in small ammounts at a time, with Ryxtylopian coffee mugs being smaller than the avarge just for this reason.
 
                                                   
On the left, an example of Aqui'xel drinks, as said before they are mixes of different grains along with water or milk, on the right Pinichacan Coffee.
 
To finalize, the national dish of Ryxtylopia is a relativley spicey shrimp soup called "Cameron al Caxijarro" its most consumed in costal areas, and its kinda popular with tourists, its usually accompanied with grains (most of the time rice) or potatoes and other vegetables.

Bean
Probably the most important aspect in Ryxtylopian cuisine is the bean, beans have always been a good dish in Ryxtylopia, and consumed widley in many different forms since the earlist periods of Ryxtylopian history, they've been eaten in several ways, beans are a good dish to accompany other foods, they can be made into soup, they are easily transportable and stored, and they've throught the years been combined into other foods and dishes, meaning that Ryxtylopian chefs throught the centuries have learned to master the art of the bean.
 
 
Music
Music in Ryxtylopia varies depending on the region, but something that most regions have in common when it comes to making music is one instrument: the guitar. For centuries ever since the guitar was introduced to Ryxtylopia it became a really popular instrument, and many musical genres revolved around it.
You can go anywhere in Ryxtylopia and doesn't matter the climate, mood or whatever it is you can probably find someone playing the guitar, but of course what also sets the regions apart is the pace, tone and instruments played alongside the guitar.
For example in the west, states of Saxa'atí, Yilanit, Elaaní and Carraizal the guitar is played mostly alone, despite this a popular instrument to complement it is the acordeon, its also played with a faster pace. In the center and east the guitar usually finds itself complemented either by wind instruments (mostly the trumpet, trombone, the tuba and the clarinet) or percussion instruments (mainly drums and the marimba)
In Pinichaca and Tirilpa, percussion instruments are also quite popular, but compared to the center of the country the pace of music is faster and on ocassions the guitar is complemented by a harp or sometimes just replaced by it.
 

Example of Pinichacan/Tirilpan Music (note the use of the harp alongside the guitar)
Displays of music in Ryxtylopia vary, most take place at parties and special ocations and they aren't usually over the top concerts, while another many take place in the streets, parks or public areas either as entretainment or to ask for money theese happen since traditional music has remained popular in Ryxtylopia, although other genres have been growing in popularity.
 
 
Festivities
Ryxtylopia has many holidays, and festivities. Each Region having their own festivities, ill focus on the more popular ones, the ones but even more on what they consist of and what they are celebrating. It will be a list in order from January to December (i do plan to add more)
[WIP]
 
 
Sports
In Ryxtylopia, the most popular sport is football or soccer (or Fiutbol) whatever you wanna call it, Ryxtylopia has 3 professional leagues ("Liga A - Natxianal", "Liga B - Natxianal" and "Liga C - Natxianal" ) with several football teams to choose from, but even at a non-professional level football is by far the most popular sport in Ryxtylopia, its not uncommon to see empty plots or fields used for football, stadiums ranging in size and age, the first division (LigaA - N.) lasts from January 8th to April 16th, it has 22 teams with the two bottom-finishing teams being relegated, the second division (Liga B - N.) goes from August to November, it has 20 teams , with the 2 top finishing teams ascending to the first division, whilst the bottom 4 finishing teams descend to the "C".
On the other hand there are two other main sports that are popular in Ryxtylopia, Rugby and Baseball (or Basibol), starting with Baseball currently second in terms of popularity but not by much, it became popular in Ryxtylopia during the 1330's, and Ryxtylopia currently has a professional baseball league (Basi-A) with several teams mostly from the west and Tirilpa participating, as well as a 2nd smaller league (Basi-B) for smaller clubs or clubs that fail to live up to the standards of the main league, the first division of ryxtylopian baseball takes place from May to August with 18 teams, the 3 worst getting relegated, the second division takes place from August to November, with the 3 best teams ascending to the first division and the bottom 5 descending to the "C".
And finally a sport that in Ryxtylopia recently exploded in popularity: Rugby, in this part of Aura definitley the newest out of the 3 main sports being introduced to Ryxtylopia during the Giltavas dictatorship around the mid 80's, it was introduced by foreigners but the sports started gaining attention around the 1400's and the first (and so far only) Rugby league formed oficially in 1401, RYXRugby has since its formation suffered from being not very cometitive, with Chacas and Trinchanancó RC dominating the league, but the league has a lot of potential in their players, and Rugby in Ryxtylopia is on the rise after the succesful debut in RWC4, the Ryxtylopian rugby league only has 10 teams so far, with plans to expand proposed but not agreed on, the second division of ryxtylopian rugby isn't considered a "Professional" league, thus receiving less funding than the other "B" leagues, only 1 team gets relegated from the first division and only 1 team gets promoted from the second division.

[WIP]

The "Legal Resources" are short, easy-to-understand explanations of the main legal acts passed by the three branches of Min-Su – intended for a general, non-specialist audience.
Most cover the main types of legislation passed by the Minsunese government: constitution, electoral laws, statutes, executive orders and decrees, jurisprudence, and bureaucratic statutes. But some cover other documents, such as international agreements.
The summaries are grouped into different sources of Minsunese laws.
The Legal Sources is a record from the State Archives, an attached agency of the Office of the Prime Minister.

1330 Imperial State Constitution
 

POLITICS
The politics of Min-Su are conducted in a framework of a multi-party bicameral parliamentary representative democratic semi-constitutional monarchy in which the Sacred Emperor is the Head of State, with reserved political and administrative powers, and the Prime Minister as the Head of Government and of the State Cabinet, which directs the executive branch. 
Legislative power is vested in the State Congress, which consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate consists of 18 members and the House of Representatives has 42 members.
Judicial power is vested in the Supreme Imperial Court and lower courts, and sovereignty is vested in the Imperial Throne and their people by the Constitution. Min-Su is considered a semi-constitutional monarchy with a system of imperial and civil law.
 
CONSTITUTION
The Imperial State Constitution of Min-Su was drafted by Sacred Emperor Min-Su Kang on the first hour of the new year of 1330. It was promulgated on 2 January 1330 and coming into effect on 20 January 1330. The constitution succeeded the centuries-old Senchiha State, the Gaoist-inspired legal-system and constitution implemented since 375 BF after the Phoenix Reform of 379 BF.
The 1330 Constitution established clear limits on the power of the executive branch and the Sacred Emperor. It also created an independent judiciary. Civil rights and civil liberties were allowed, though they were freely subject to limitation by law. Free speech, freedom of association and freedom of religion were all limited by laws. The leaders of the government, politicians, and the judges were left with the task of interpreting the laws using the 1330 Constitution to justify imperial sovereignty and democracy. 
 
GOVERNMENT
The 1330 Constitution defines the Sacred Emperor to be "the symbol of the State, religious head, the Guarantor of Independence, and the symbol of the unity of the people". He performs ceremonial, administrative, and political duties. "Political power" is held mainly by the Prime Minister and other elected members of the State Congress. The Imperial Throne is succeeded by a member of the Imperial House as designated by the Imperial Household Law.
The chief of the executive branch, the Prime Minister, is appointed by the Emperor as the chosen representative of His Sacred Majesty to the government. They are a member of the Senate and must be a civilian. The Cabinet members are nominated by the Prime Minister, and are also required to be civilian. With the United Minsunese Alliance (UMA) in power, it has been convention that the President of the party serves as the Prime Minister.

LEGISLATURE 
The 1330 constitution states that the State Congress, its law-making institution, shall consist of two Houses, namely the Senate and the House of Representatives. The State Congress is the highest organ of state power, and is one the law-making organ of the State. It states that both Houses shall consist of elected members, representative of all the people and that the number of the members of each House shall be fixed by law. Both houses pass legislation in identical form for it to become law. Similarly to other parliamentary systems, most legislation that is considered in the State Congress is proposed by the cabinet. The cabinet then relies on the expertise of the bureaucracy to draft actual bills. 
The Senate has legislative mandate to control the passage of the budget, the ratification of treaties, and the selection of the Prime Minister. Members of the Senate are elected for a six-year term limited to three-terms. Half of the members are elected every three years. They are elected from two senatorial seats allocated to each province as stated in the constitution. 
The lower house, the House of Representatives' duties are to drafts bills and are sent to the Senate. Members of the lower house are elected for three-year terms from the two allocated congressional seats from each county.
        
            
                  
Political parties and Election
Several political parties exist in Min-Su. However, the politics of Min-Su have primarily been dominated by the United Minsunese Alliance (UMA), an imperialist-aligned party since 1330,  with the Social Democratic Party (SODEP) playing an important role as opposition several times. The UMA was the ruling party for decades since 1330, despite the existence of multiple parties. Most of the prime ministers were elected from inner factions of the UMA.
                                  
 
FOREIGN RELATIONS
Min-Su is a member state of the World Assembly. Min-Su attaches great importance to economic, trade, and mutual defense treaties among its neighbors. 
As of November 1421, Min-Su is a signatory of the Multinational Working Group Regarding Passport Security and Travel Document Standards (MWG). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has released the four new state passports that follows eMRTD standards. 
   

GOVERNMENT
The Government of the Sacred Empire of Min-Su (Minsunese: ミンスの神聖な帝国の政府) is the imperial state government of Min-Su. It is governed as a unitary state under a parliamentary democratic and a semi-constitutional monarchy where the Sacred Emperor functions head of state and the Noble Prime Minister as the head of government of the country within a pluriform multi-party system. 
The government has three interdependent branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch.

EXECUTIVE BRANCH
The Executive branch of Min-Su is headed by the Noble Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the head of the State Cabinet, and is designated by the Sacred Emperor and the legislative organ, the State Congress. The State Cabinet consists of the Ministers of State and may be appointed or dismissed by the Prime Minister at any time. Explicitly defined to be the source of executive power, it is in practice, however, mainly exercised by the Sacred Emperor and his representative to the government, the Prime Minister. The practice of its powers is responsible to the State Congress, and as a whole, should the State Cabinet lose confidence and support to be in office by the State Congress, the State Congress may dismiss the Cabinet en masse with a motion of no confidence. 
 
HEAD OF STATE
The Sacred Emperor of Min-Su is the monarch and the head of the Imperial Family of Min-Su. Under the Constitution of Min-Su, he is defined as the symbol of the Minsunese state, the unity of the Japanese people, the Guarantor of the Independence of the country and of the territorial integrity of the Sacred Empire within its authentic frontiers and his position is derived from "the will of Gao, his temple, and his people with whom resides sovereign power". Imperial Household Law governs the line of imperial succession. The Supreme Court does not have judicial power over him. He is also the head of the Gaoist religion. In Minsunese, the emperor is called Tennō (天皇), literally "Heavenly sovereign". The Minsunese Gaoist religion holds him to be the direct descendant of the primordial phoenix, Gao. The emperor is also the head of all state Minsunese orders, decorations, medals, and awards. 
The historical origins of the sacred emperors lie in the Pre-Classical period of the 4th century BF with Emperor Min-Su Ren I as its first monarch. Ren IX is the current emperor of Min-Su. He acceded to the Imperial Throne upon the abdication of his father Emperor Di in 1388.

HEAD OF GOVERNMENT
The Noble Prime Minister of Min-Su is designated by the Sacred Emperor and the State Congress and serves a term of four years or less; with no limits imposed on the number of terms the Prime Minister may hold. The Prime Minister heads the State Cabinet and exercises "control and supervision in the emperor's stead" of the executive branch, and is the head of government. The Prime Minister is vested with the power to present bills to the State Congress, to sign laws, to declare a state of emergency, and may also dissolve the State Congress' House of Representatives at will. He or she presides over the State Cabinet and appoints, or dismisses, the other Cabinet ministers.
Both houses of the State Congress and the Sacred Emperor designates the Prime Minister with a ballot cast under the run-off system. Under the Constitution, should both houses not agree on a common candidate, then a joint committee is allowed to be established to agree on the matter; specifically within a period of ten days, exclusive of the period of recess. However, if both houses still do not agree to each other, the decision made by the Sacred Emperor is deemed to be that of State Congress. Upon designation, the Prime Minister is presented with their commission, and then formally appointed to office by the Sacred Emperor.
As a candidate designated by the State Congress and the Sacred Emperor, he or she is required to report to the State Congress and to the imperial throne whenever demanded. The Prime Minister must also be both a civilian and a member of either house of the State Congress.

DEMOGRAPHICS
Min-Su has a population of 6.6 million, of which 98% million are Minsunese nationals (1420 estimates). A small population of foreign residents makes up the remainder. In 1419, 2/3 of the total Minsunese population lived in cities. The capital city Eriya has a population of 435,483 (1420). It is part of the Greater Eriya Metro (GEM), the biggest metropolitan area in Min-Su with 1.82 million people (1420).
Immigration and birth incentives are becoming prominently solution to provide younger workers to support the nation's future problem of an aging population. On April 1, 1419, Min-Su's revised immigration law was enacted, protecting the rights of foreign workers to help reduce labor shortages in certain sectors.
RELIGION
Min-Su's constitution guarantees full religious freedom. Upper estimates suggest that 89-96 percent of the Minsunese population subscribe to Gaoism as its indigenous religion. The level of participation in religious ceremonies as a cultural tradition remains high, especially during festivals and occasions such as the first shrine visit of the New Year. Ancient Gaoism have also influenced Minsunese beliefs, customs, and legal-system.
Gaoism, is an ancient religion centered on the belief of the primordial phoenix, Gao, the offspring of Duality. Religious texts and dogma states that from Chaos came Singularity, and from Singularity came Duality, and from Duality came Gao, the primordial entity of creation, death, and rebirth. From Gao came the Five Origins and the Myriad Things. Gao appears as a brilliant gold phoenix which in tradition travels around the edge of the universe creating Myriad Things.
Humanity came into existence as a result of Gao using his inherited abilities from Duality to create the Myriad Things. And the Sacred Emperor is by tradition, religious customs and dogma, to be the physical embodiment of Gao's presence. He is the prime origin and humanity's bridge to Gao. Deifying Gao began prior to the founding of the Min-Su Clan.

LANGUAGES
Minsunese writing uses cangi (Ancient Gaoist characters) and two sets of cana (syllabaries based on cursive script and radical of cangi), as well as the Latin alphabet and Arabic numerals. English instruction was made mandatory in Japanese elementary schools in 1401. Cangi developed from ancient Gaoist characters.
EDUCATION
Primary schools, secondary schools and universities were introduced in 1172 as a result of the Bright Minds Revolution. Since the 1330 Fundamental Law of Education or the Universal Education Law, compulsory education in Min-Su comprises elementary and junior high school, which together last for ten years. Almost all children continue their education at a two-year senior high school. The two top-ranking universities in Min-Su are the University of the East (UE) and Eriya State University (ESU). Starting in April 1416, various schools began the academic year with elementary school and junior high school integrated into one ten-year compulsory schooling program; MEXT plans for this approach to be adopted nationwide.
   
HEALTH
Health care is provided by national and local governments. Payment for personal medical services is offered through a universal health insurance system that provides relative equality of access, with fees set by a government committee. People without insurance through employers can participate in a national health insurance program administered by local governments. Since 1350, all elderly persons have been covered by government-sponsored insurance. 

Economy
Giovanniland has an advanced mixed economy with a GDP totalling $1,406,647,221,920, and due to the Giovannilandian policies of social democracy and welfare state, 48.2% of the national income goes to government spending. The national economy is highly diversified, featuring services as 71% of the economic output, while industries account for 27%, and the remaining 2% is generated by primary activities, all backed by the national currency called Abrio (𝒜). The labor force is defined as all the population between 18 and 70 years old, estimated to be 18,734,722 according to the latest national census, with an unemployment index of only 2% due to extensive welfare and social policies.
Primary and secondary sectors
For much of its history, Giovanniland's economy relied on agricultural and manufacturing goods. Both the Abrentan and Lavandulan civilizations regarded trade as very important for their national development, and it was this relation that allowed both cultures to grow closer and form the Giovannian Empire, which brought an economic revolution to Lavender Island. During the imperial era, a period of prosperity came to the island due to the diverse goods brought in by the trading posts and routes established around Esferos, and the agricultural and mining riches earned from the Andolian colonies. The decline of the Giovannian Empire forced the nation to adapt to a new era, and during the late 12th and early 13th centuries, the Industrial Revolution was brought from Saint Mark and was fully complete throughout the country by 1260. Continued economic growth has happened most often since then, allowing for the nation's development in other spheres such as society and infrastructure.
Despite the decrease in relative importance for external trade after the Industrial Revolution, agriculture and mining still provide a backbone for the nation's industries and services. Agriculture is currently estimated to contribute around 1.5% of GDP, generating a variety of tropical crops such as bananas, coconuts, papayas, cassava, cocoa, coffee, rice, sweet potato, and tea. Mining, another major component of the Giovannilandian primary sector, accounts for 0.5% of the national GDP and features an increasing search for rare-earth elements due to their uses in advanced technology, although the sector faces environmental regulations due to the green policies of the notable Partito Verde.
Meanwhile, the secondary sector is represented by factories and industries such as automobiles, computers and other electronics, food processing, and retail. These industry types are often concentrated in specific regions of the country, such as the Abrenostro region having strong influence in Giovannese cuisine and thus being the center of the national food processing industry. The mountainous regions such as Kordelleria are known for their retail sector, while automobiles are often produced in the regions of Spandorto and Altana. Finally, the technology industry is present throughout the country, with Amorante (in Prinvalli) and Flaviopole (in Lido Flavi) as examples of key cities of this sector. They have the nearby ports of Porto Violeto and Andoliavilla respectively, so Giovannilandian high-tech and nanotechnology products can be exported and generate high revenue, or be transported to other parts of the country.
     
Avvento is a primary sector company focusing on wind power, while Ekoprodutti is a secondary sector company that manufactures environmentally friendly products.
Services
The tertiary sector is the driving workforce behind the national economy. Technology services account for over 10% of the GDP and are divided into diverse areas such as telecommunications, e-commerce, software development, social media, gaming, data processing, artificial intelligence and much more. Several Giovannilandian companies from this sector have in the last few decades become present in the lives of nearly all Giovannilandians and also a decent international audience, for example Tullerigno through its widely used Osello operating system and Essio browser & search engine; and more recently the Konsortio Intellegentie's development of the generative chatbot Violeta and text-to-image model VisioArti. This subdivision of the tertiary sector is most present in the region of Giovannia Magna, with several enterprises' headquarters in cities next to the capital such as Vinikiano, Raffellia and Iuliopole. Nearly all of Giovanniland's population has access to the internet, and most households have electronics ranging from computers, televisions and mobile phones to advanced Internet of Things devices.
The finance and trade sector is also notable and has its roots in the Giovannian Empire, since successive emperors sought to reach lands previously unknown to the Giovannese, establishing trading posts in the five continents including Nur, with which the Empire notably pioneered a surge in trade routes across the Viatic. Many institutions of merchants and moneylenders were founded in important ports like Urido and Porto Violeto during the imperial golden age in the 9th and 10th centuries AF, and developed into modern-day banks such as the famous Emeria Lavanda (Lavender Bank). Presently 7% of the GDP comes from this area, and Giovannilandian banks have earned a reputation of having a very secure and technological system, alongside low taxes for money deposits.
Last but not least, the other major source of services income is tourism. Environmentally friendly tourism is prominent in the northern Lavandulan rainforests and the two branches of the Great Lavender Range in Giovaura, as well as the vast southern savannas of Giovandolia, with several designated national parks and natural reserves for this purpose. Historical tourism offers a wide range of attractions, ranging from ancient ruins of the Lavandulan Empire to the medieval Abrentan castles and the vast diversity of Giovannian Empire architecture, complemented by museums like the National Museums of Giovannia and Andoliavilla. Cultural tourism is also very lively and finds its home in the region of Abrenosto, whose capital Abrentopole regularly hosts several culinary events, since world-famous Giovannese meals like pizza and seafood pasta come from this region, as well as art exhibitions and festivals. Another destination in the region is the Abrentan Cape, known for the vineyards and wine production near the city of Portovini, and the beach resorts visited by many international tourists along the cape's coastline.

Energy and transport
The vast amount of energy in Giovanniland is generated by renewable sources, showing the effects of the Partito Verde's policies for nearly a century, starting from the leadership of Anna Tansegano when hydroelectricity replaced coal as the dominant energy source in the nation. Nowadays hydropower still leads with a plurality of 31%, but the government recognizes its disadvantages such as loss of arable land, population displacement, and disruption of ecosystems, so efforts to phase it out as the main contributor are ongoing. Other contributors to the national energy generation are solar power (30%), wind power (26%), biomass and other renewables (10%), and non-renewables (3%). The coastal regions of Prinvalli, Abrenosto, Lido Flavi and Altana are the main sites for the wind and solar energy generation due to the favorable tropical broadleaf forest and savanna biomes that feature a lot of solar irradiation and strong winds.
Giovanniland also has a strong and well connected network of railroads, highways, waterways, harbors, airports, and more. The highway (autostrada) system is divided into national roads, which receive an abbreviation with the two-letter code GI followed by a number, and regional roads, whose abbreviations feature the region’s code instead. A very important project in the history of Giovannilandian highways was completed in 1313, when north-south highways were completed in both Aura and Andolia. The following decades saw the connection of all urban municipalities to this new system, and at last smaller settlements in rural municipalities. Meanwhile, the railway system is older and dates back to the middle to late imperial period, where it took on the role of transporting vast amounts of agricultural, mining and manufacturing goods. These were originally wooden rails, while newer innovations such as metal rails, steam and now electric power were introduced during or after the Industrial Revolution.
The busiest port city in Giovanniland is Porto Violeto, a historic port that has been in existence for nearly two thousand years. The harbor was greatly expanded during the imperial golden era, since it hosted a majority of the trade between the mainland and the overseas trading posts established by the Giovannian Empire, becoming the most prosperous city in all of the empire. In recent times, Porto Violeto has maintained its significance as the second largest city in Giovanniland and head of a cosmopolitan metropolis, while its port has evolved into a major container terminal for both the Darkesian Sea and the wider world. Meanwhile, other significant port cities include Urido in the north and Andoliavilla in the south. The country is also well-adapted for aerial transport—the five busiest Giovannilandian airports are the Emperor Giovanni II the Great International Airport in Giovannia (22 million passengers per year), the Abreo-Florino International Airport in Porto Violeto (15m), the Flavio International Airport in Andoliavilla (10m), the Respublika International Airport in Abrentopole (7m), and the Ianteno International Airport in Urido (5m).
     
Hydropower and solar power are roughly tied for energy contribution and together account for over 60% of the nation's energy, the latter widely used in urban centers.

Hey'all! I'm back once again. Happy to be back once again and I'm bringing new stuff to post for the rp. 
Hoping for your kind guidance! 

Economy
The Ryxtylopian economy is best described as a developing economy, with a GDP (PPP) of $258,708,019,287, however with a population of over 22 million people, this means the GDP per capita is only $11,411, being the 3rd lowest in Aura after Dilber and Bilyad, despite this the economy is rapidly in development, however it has been anything but stable for the last 5 decades of Ryxtylopian history, with inflation, recessions and Ryxtylopia defaulting on its debt in two separate occations (in 1388 and 1402) being products of a bloated bureocracy, inbalanced spending and corruption.
Ryxtylopia (currently) works under an open economy with limited government intervention, however with some intervention still present in some areas; however this seems to be changing as the economy continues to open up with Ryxtylopia seemingly on the path to laissez faire economics, especially when it comes to encouraging foreign investment, but this has resulted in new cases of corruption, the defunding of several government agencies and the widening of already-existing wealth gaps in the country.
Ryxtylopia uses as its currency the (Ryxtylopian) Ryx, a relativley new currency, which replaced the "Darrón" a currency introduced at the start of the 1300's that suffered massive inflation in the 1380's and then completley lost its value in the early 1400's in one of the worst recessions in the history of Aura and the worst by far in Ryxtylopian history.
The Ryx (RRY) can vary, and isn't the most stable currency, usually fluctuating around 43 Ryxes per $1, currently it sits at:
$1 = 46RRY
 
Unemployement rates in Ryxtylopia are difficult to calculate due to a lot of citizens working in the informal economy, its speculated to sit at around 6.34%, however a lot of jobs in Ryxtylopia still pay poorly compared to jobs in the rest of the world, whilst the government does provide services like universal healthcare and education up to high-school, many areas lack theese services, and even then a lot of the lower income families still spend large ammount of money on essentials (food, water) this translating to there being very little economic mobility between social classes.
When it comes to economic composition, Agriculture remains in Ryxtylopia as a pretty large sector of the economy, at around 8.64%, while Industries sit at 39.87% with manufacturing quickly growing and the mining sector, which used to be Ryxtylopia's largest industrial sector, starting to stagnate. Finally the service sector is estimated to sit at 51% of the economy, this last sector also rapidly growing despite facing arguably more issues than the industrial sector.
When it comes to taxes, Ryxtylopia has graduated taxation, with richer people (on paper) paying a higher % in taxes than poor people, however this system has several exemptions and loopholes. Tax breaks aren't that hard to obtain for a rich person or company, at least with the current administration, especially with the strategy of attracting international investment to the country.
Products sold in Ryxtylopia are subject to a tax called the Impysto Natxinal di Ventas (the National Sales Tax), with the exemption of essential goods (i.e. food, water, some drugs and medicine, etc.) this tax varies depending on the good.

The Unification of Qostaoyae
How did it happen?
It started when Edward Qoa Zian got elected in 1349 AF and he looked at the Qostaoyan regional map and said, “The divide of The West has lasted too long, I think we should make a peaceful reunification, it is entirely up to you if you want to, if you don’t then that’s fine.” So he went and visited each Western kingdom and discussed about problems in the region and discussed about the treaty, after a few years all of the kingdoms unified with Qostaoyae, and for once Qostaoyae was finally unified . . .

HEADLINES/First granddaughter of Santos-Dominius poised to become next President
The granddaughter and only grandchild of Santos-Dominius' incumbent President Paul Goldberg is expected to become the presidential nominee for her grandfather's party. Carnet (pronounced "Car-neigh") Goldberg, at 20 years of age, will become the youngest President in the Federal Republic's history if elected. However, considerable fury has already erupted in the National Senate over this particularly controversial method of selection.
The centre-right Democratic Congress Party(DCB), which President Goldberg leads, had been torn over the matter of choosing a successor. Among the top candidates were Senator Diane Hutchison, the foreign affairs minister, and Vice President Donald Verbloem. Both Hutchison and Verbloem firmly declined requests for comment after news of Carnet's selection broke, but insiders close to the two have reported that they are doubtful of the First Granddaughter's governing and political capabilities. Having grown up in the Fribernese Fortress and afforded every luxury by his grandfather and her personal attendants, Carnet has acquired an unsaid reputation as an elegant, graceful but also distant and collected heiress. Her notorious catchphrase "Don't bore me", as well as her infamous tendency to yawn and fall asleep when during times of boredom, have made her a figure with a colourful reputation among the presidential staff.
Although Hutchison and Verbloem remained muted, opposition politicians have openly criticised President Goldberg's decision to bypass his colleagues and give Carnet the DCB leadership position. Sen. Art Bernstein(CoR-WS), Leader of the Opposition, called the decision "a blatant power grab in full daylight", adding that "the Santo-Dominian people will punish the DCB electorally for this shameless display of nepotism". The centre-left Coalition of Roses(CoR), the main opposition party led by Sen. Bernstein, are expected to mount a fierce challenge against the DCB in the next presidential election and could win with President Goldberg's relative electoral strength now out of the picture. Despite former COR presidential nominee Sen. Jeremy Maxson's decision not to run again, the populist Sen. Bernstein - who was Maxson's running mate last time - is expected to head up the leftist presidential ticket this time, posing an extreme threat to the centre-right's decades-old grip on power.
Even though the DCB and President Goldberg face a ruthless onslaught of criticism from Sen. Bernstein regarding their choice of nominee, some analysts have had a more positive outlook on the matter, commenting that the relatively young Caitlin Goldberg could use her age to pander to the increasingly important 18-24 years old youth demographic, which has historically shunned the DCB and given its votes to the CoR. Santo-Dominian teenagers and university graduates have picked up on Carnet's ascendancy and have made her viral, with many young social media users starting hashtag trends like "#YesWeCarn" or "#CarnetCarn'tRule", a symbol of her divisiveness. The women demographic is also at play, with some female DCB politicians suggesting that Carnet's gender can help revitalise the DCB, which is often mockingly called "the party of old men".
Notably, however, Carnet Goldberg is faring better than her increasingly senile grandfather. Her personal popularity ratings stand at 36%, a fair bit higher than Paul Goldberg's dismal 28%. President Goldberg has suffered from a gradual but steady decline in public approval, with his advanced age cited as a major factor of his unpopularity. Moreover, crises from earlier in his presidency remain ingrained in Santo-Dominians' minds - the flySD scandal, the SDWorks controversy and the Louisann General Strike were all mentioned by poll respondents as major downsides of the lengthly Goldberg presidency. It is unknown if Carnet will be able to rid herself of any association to these unpleasant events once she embarks on the trying campaign trail, or if she will be branded by Sen. Bernstein as yet another dangerous Goldberg.
Anyhow, Carnet Goldberg faces a difficult task. Deeply affected by her grandfather's popularity, the DCB is on its last legs and struggling to regain momentum. The all-important donation stream has slowed due to Paul Goldberg's reduced appearances, and even traditional Goldberg allies like Sen. Hutchison and Vice President Verbloem are unwilling to publicly back or express support for her. Reviving the political fortunes of a centre-right ruling party in an overwhelmingly left-wing welfare state is a tall order, and it remains to be seen if Carnet will be able to overcome all odds and protect the DCB's fragile hold on power.

Hi Guys!! I am from Blue Bubble (We call it Glenpavia!) and my name is Ana. I just want to tell you guys a little bit about my country's history around Independence Day as IDK if anyone else understands it?? IDK if anyone is taught this, but its like really important to me so here we go:

On the 15th August 1091, Glenpavia was finally liberated from Giovannilandian rule. This was done over the previous 3 years after the eastern side of the island revolted and separated from the empire. To understand how this happened, You need to know a little bit of the history of Glenpavia. 
 
At the same time as the height of the Lavandulan’s empire, there was a minor invasion to the south west of the island. These people were travellers by nature, crossing land and ocean to see what is out there. Over the following centuries, the Glendora people who stayed on the island lived and interacted with Lavandulans, becoming a small but growing clan of Glendulans. The clan took land that the empire did not want to the south-west and soon grew into a nation which did not fight with the empire but had friendly relations. The modern day Glenpavia language is a mix of the native language of the clan and of Lavandulan. Following the breakdown of the empire, the people of Glendula divided into the north and the south with a civil war which was still being fought through a Cold War at the time of Giovanniland's conquest. The northern clan allowed conquest quickly in the belief the empire would help the side win, but the south resisted for 4 more years before admitting defeat.
 
During the time in the empire, Glendula culture was suppressed, and many families were forced to take on Giovannese names to protect themselves from prosecution. From 1011, those of Glendula heritage began protesting the oppression, and began a movement of expression. Although minor efforts of Empress Nima III allowed restrictions to easen, the Glendulan people were angry. It was during the rule of her son, Paldeno, where the ambition to become one nation became ahead again. Records document a record movement of Glendulans to what is now the nation of Glenpavia during this time, as historical documents show a large underground rebellion network. The Glenpavian Group (AKA the rebelion name of the Glendulans) first rebelled in 1090, but did not succeed. In 1091, the rebellion resurfaced and kept up the revolt until Emperor Petro I signed over the land of Glenpavia to Tsiory Amin, one of the main leaders of the rebellion and chosen first Mpitarika of Glenpavia.
 
This moment in history is often documented with a lot of celebration, but also terror for those of Giovannese nationality in the new nation. After the declaration of freedom, there was a month of mass movement of those who had been in the region but was not of Glendula heritage, as those who stayed faced discrimination.

Since these turbulent times, the mark of independence has become a majority positive thing for Glenpavia, with communities coming together to mourn the lives lost and celebrate their continued freedom. We have adopted the Glenpavia name to describe our people and our culture as a result of our relations, and we are very passionate about our history.
 
Independence Day starts 2 days before, with a day of mourning. There is often a minute of silence, and memorials across the nation are decorated. The schools and workplaces are often not in for the day of mourning, and do not go back until the day after Independence Day. Adults have Independence Day as a day of national rest as well. The middle day is the day of change, where we take time to change something in our lives, normally a redecoration of our homes. Some opt for a change of looks, some may go for a change in social life. There are often posts on social media of major changes people may make on this day. 
 
The actual day of Independence is a day of celebration, with major parties in town centres. There is free food, dancing, drinking, and everyone gets dressed up. Towards the nighttime, some places have fireworks too. The Mpitarika has a big speech which everyone watches. This year, Kassakira Petrovikan spoke about the topic of showing off our national pride and culture, and it spoke a lot to me. That’s why I am writing this blog. And totally not because this was also a history assignment. 
 
If you have any questions, I will try and answer them <3 I hope my common is okay!!

End of democracy in The Theeserrasland
In a recent, shocking development, the now President and leader of The Theeserrasland has passed a controversial act of which removes the Theeserraslandian right to vote for public officials. This has riled up massive protest across the nation as millions wanted to bring back their right to vote.
The leader has came out telling the public that, "I only did it so that the Theeserrasland could prosper for a longer time, too much have we had incompetence voted into our leadership, bringing corruption and creating uselessness in the political landscape. Which is why, the government of the Theeserrasland has decided to pick the most suitable candidates to prosper in our ranks," whether this would make the Theeserrasland into an unstable nation, held up only by corruption and kickbacks or will create a competitive environment, where only the most loyal and competent can hope to serve the nation is unknown.
Weather today!
It has been reported that there would be heavy rain near the coastal regions of The Theeserrasland, floods are to be expected
Sunny weather is to be expected in the South.
Cloudy weather in the Northeast, rain to be expected.
The Theeserrasland economy growing!
With the growing population of The Theeserrasland, the investment of foreign countries, and the government restructuring, The Theeserrasland economy is slowly, but surely, rising. With The Theeserrasland citizens having better wages, more meaningful jobs, and much more, The Theeserrasland as a whole is expected to go into a new golden age for it and it's citizens.

Government
Motto:
"Victoria y Vida, Hanita Querida"
 
Hanita Gracse is a Semi-Presidential Republic. In the year of 1389, the nation had adopted its current constitution, after which the nation had lifted martial law, and continued reconstruction. The president is the head of state, they are elected by the alternative vote, if they win more than 50% of the vote, they serve for a four year term, and two consecutive terms, if they are to be reelected. President Huerta has been serving the nation since 1414. The prime minister, appointed by the president, is the head of government; they have no term limits, but will be accountable to a parliamentary vote of no confidence. Prime Minister Fidel, has been serving since 1416. The government is composed of 3 separate branches that regularly check and balance one another. Members of the executive and parliament are elected by the populace, whilst the judiciary are nominated, or rather appointed. Voting is voluntary, and the eligible voting age starts at the age of 16. 

President Huerta Rodriguez

Prime Minister Fidel Martinez
Executive 
Although the president is head of state, they act as the head executive, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Hanita Gracse, known as the Revolutionary Armed Guard, make appointments to other civil and military offices, and deliberately make foreign and national policies and security. Some of which would have to be filtered through the prime minister. The prime minister holds regulatory power that coordinates the actions, preventing contradictions from different ministers, and implementing laws set out by the president that were deliberately made from the cabinet of the president, and oversees the daily affairs within the government. Ministers of the cabinet are appointed by the president upon a proposal by the prime minister. The cabinet demonstrates executive unity, as they are entrusted to carry out their mission within their area, including but not limited to political policies by an administration. 
 
Legislation
The legislation of Hanita Gracse is officially called "Parliament". Parliament is a bicameral government organ, made up by the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate Chamber, collectively called the United Assembly of Hanita Gracse. Both chambers have their own separate voting systems, more details in elections. They review and pass laws, monitor the government, and assess public policy. Whenever a bill is examined, be it executive or parliament, it must be passed with identical text, once there is an adopted definitive answer, it passes. The deputy chamber has 244 seats portional to the population, whilst the senate has only 20 seats. Aside from the federal assembly, most local legislative branches are unicameral. 
Judicial
The Council of the Federation, is the highest administrative jurisdiction. It advises the preparation of bills, ordinances and decrees, answers legal affairs, conducts studies, and ensures the government's compliance with the law. That law is modeled after civil law. They are also responsible for daily management of the courts of appeals, and administrative tribunals. 
Elections
Every election year, the populace and workers have a day off in the designated day marked for the year's elections. The date has been set October the 2nd, since the adoption of the current constitution. The President of the Federation, is elected with the alternative vote, or as it is sometimes called, ranked choice, to determine the nation's preferences. This system is also applied to several governor, mayoral and sheriff elections. In the case of voting for representatives into the Chamber of Deputies, they are elected through the single transferable vote, Droop quota that favors major parties, whilst most local elections use the Hare system instead because it favors smaller parties within local elections. Senators are elected by local legislators, under an electoral college that will at its best make an accurate representation of the state's local bodies and their population, by a first-past-the-post vote held by the members within the local offices. 
Diplomacy
Hanita Gracsian foreign relations are summed to be characterized with a non-interventionist approach to foreign conflicts without relation to any of Hanita's allies or herself, and instead favors cooperation, settling down for trade agreements and defense pacts. The nation's diplomacy is headed by the Minister of the Diplomatic Corps, Ramon Adalberto Villa. The minister is to be well advised by both parliament and the president at their respected requests on any case of foreign affairs. The Diplomatic Corps, despite its name, does not under any circumstances control a portion of the military, rather there are individual voluntary officers that accompany the agents in such difficult situations, acting out as guards, under any and every situation. These officers as well don't dress in the default, ceremonial dress or working and combat, military uniforms, rather they go with the usual business attire that the diplomatic agents wear. As a small nation, it'll ally itself with any foreign major power with a strong cooperative government that'll guarantee the nation's demands, to which leads up to some critics asking of the nation's goals with said foriegn power, most famous of which comes from the Conservatives, that had suspicion within the neighborhood and abroad. When dealing with Hanita diplomats, the nation would grant foreign aid to its non-military and military allies, some equipment, and even some workers.

City of Gingkalos Slogan: The Suburban City Description: Calming trees and humble abodes coexist in natural harmony in this spread-out city. Population: 354,098 (as of 1421 census) Canton: Ostpalain-Westrhuin(PW) Status: Largest cantonal city, provincial capital Language: Common, Dominish Demonym: Gingkalosian Government: Mayor-council government
Mayor - Henrik Grosz (DCB)
Body - Gingkalos Municipal Council
The typical Santo-Dominian city, restrained by limited space for development, is bursting with high-rise towers and skyscrapers. In Gingkalos, however, it's a different story entirely. Jokingly called "The Suburban City" by many residents, Gingkalos is fairly spread out on the small island upon which it is located, with many of its residents living in typical middle-class suburbia. Often considered a great place to start families and raise kids, the city offers large spaced-out homes, cosy low-rise buildings and lots of greenery. Gingkalos' definitive symbol is the tall Ginkgo tree, which represents the family values that the municipal government wishes to cultivate in the local area.
Another distinct feature of Gingkalos is its low taxes. In recent years, Canton Ostpalain-Westrhuin has been known for lowering its corporate and income taxes in a bid to attract more investment and wealthy residents. This strategy has worked to a degree, with the city observing a noticeable influx of more well-off residents in recent years. However, some older Gingkalosians with roots in the city have complained that their better-off neighbours are increasingly attempting to hoard big properties - although the city has remained dismissive of these concerns.
ETYMOLOGY
From Ginkgo biloba(common Ginkgo/Gingko tree).
HISTORY
Gingkalos was first founded in around 645 AF by settlers who found the island's evenly-spread vegetation a great source of relief from the scorching southern Dominian summers. As it grew over time, the city's residents and authorities discussed urbanisation as a way of bypassing the island's geographic limitations. However, this was rejected - many elderly citizens preferred a more suburban, tranquil atmosphere like Berchstein to the rapid development and rampant noise of metropolises such as Arkurter. This crucial decision would ultimately shape the city to become what it is today.
In the 1390s Gingkalos was faced with another difficult decision. Being home to abundant vegetation, logging companies from Friberne and Arkurter fought with the city's residents for the right to cut and sell the local area's Ginkgo trees. The logging companies attempted to bribe the municipal council into bypassing citizen consultation and approving the logging activities, but the municipal council took too much time to consider accepting the bribe. In the end, environmentalist organisations reported the corporations' suspicious acts to the national authorities in Friberne, and the Cantonal Court of Ostpalain-Westrhuin ruled against allowing the Ginkgo trees to be cut - protecting the city's harmonious nature for years to come.
Since then, Gingkalos has acquired a reputation as the definitive representation of Santo-Dominian middle-class suburbia; many movies about family life and teenage bildungsroman(coming-of-age) movies have been filmed in the city. Population growth, however, is a concern - residential development is reaching its limit, and some residents may eventually choose to move elsewhere given the small size of the island the city is located on.

II SUMMER ESFERIAD FINAL PREPARATIONS
The official list of 84 national athletes who will compete in 49 events at the Quoriv and Kharventhin II Summer Esferiad on October 24 has been released through the official website and social media of the Arifiyyah Olympic Committee (AOC). We reviewed the final preparations before Esferiad started in a few weeks and had time to interview some of our athletes.
The Head of the National Contingent said in an interview, "As we know, this is the first time we have competed in this prestigious event, so we do not place high expectations on the athletes. However, there are some sports that are our medal targets, such as football, badminton. and a few more. " The National Athletes Team is expected to depart to Giovanniland in a few days.

Local Southern Cartel was caught smuggling chicken eggs!
Following the South's ban on all eggs after finding out that the eggs are injected with dangerous substances, because of this, all forms of egg making has ceased in the Theerasland as scientists are trying their best to create a safer, cheaper and tastier option is to be created. During the scramble of the sudden ban on eggs, many small crime groups jumped on the opportunity to profit off of the situation, and as such, gain more power in the country. 
Everywhere, all of a sudden, there was a mass influx of supposed illegal egg sellers which clogged the jury system in the Theerasland, which got so bad to the point that even having chickens were now considered illegal. But because of how bizarre the situation was, the judge decided to let all those who eat the dangerous eggs free. 
But now onto the main story, Because of how much jungle there is in the South of The Theerasland, most of the illegal eggs were made there, therefore, most of the police force were concentrated there. With recent captures of egg sellers, the police were able to find out where they were created, in a small warehouse in the forest that was guarded by a major cartel. With the police raid being successful, it was deduced there was a total of 50,000 E-monies worth of chicken eggs.
Thankfully, this whole chicken fight only lasted for 8 days as the scientist were able to quickly find a safer substance.
 
Weather today!
As always, the weather in the Theerasland shall be cloudy, expect some rain soon.
Former government official of the Theerasland has been caught abusing his power!
Despite the leading president, Universal, attempts to crack down on corrupt politicians, some still were able to fall through the walls. Recently, video footage proof of former politician, Eugene Ripven, has been caught threatening multiple women saying that he will use his ties to arrest those women if they don't do his bidding.
What happens next is one of such disturbances that it is highly recommended to avoid watching, but because this is The Free Land of The Theerasland, we can not prevent you from viewing such content.
What follows suit was his quick arrest that had reached the supreme court of justice that stripped him of all of his property, status, and power and had him serve a life of imprisonment. The victims of such an incident were compensated with Eugene's property value and were given suitable therapy. But because of the trauma he inflicts on them, it is most likely they to be unable to recover.
"Because of such recent showings of corruption, I, the President of the Theerasland am disappointed by my own shortcomings as a leader. This is why now, all politicians, no matter what standing must have a microchip that allows us to hear conversations to ensures such incidents would never occur " The President of The Theerasland said in a recent press conference on his feelings on the situation.

With the new country of the Theeserrasland, the government has decided to fund for new newspaper centres to inform the wider population of the Theeserrasland of what is happening internally in the nation. This newspaper will cover topics ranging from weather to politics.
For now, The Theeserrasland Sentinel shall be a weekly newspaper that will talk about the newest happenings in the Theeserrasland.
May The Theeserrasland prosper and The Theeserrasland Sentinel keep you informed!
