Finally, you see that someone updated the last empty hall of the economic expo. Unfortunately, the only change is a note that follows: We regretfully report that the LIPS exposition could not arrive at the time for the event due to post office delays. We apologise for the inconvenience. — Lzecov Islands Post Service Industry: infrastructure (Day 1) Country: Lzecov Islands

Industry: Research Country: Lzecov Islands Founding date: 1386 Students: 8000 Aurora-Australis Natural Science Municipal University was created to provide personnel for the Power Station and also to boost research in the new Lzecov capital. It has a huge dormitory that provides free residence for about 5000 students. The rector is Alphonse Nalapic, a wise and oomny man who brings the university to prosperity. The faculties of AANSMU are represented in its coat of arms. Atom stands for Physics Faculty, the tube and lightning for the Chemistry Faculty, penguin and seal for the Biology Institute, and the hammer and pencil for the Technological Academy. The university arranges exchange program. So, you should probably enroll. Again, we have a huge dorm and we have lots of fun parties, and the university frovides good conditions for foreigners. Students also love straneces, especially those who can get us onto the materik. Well, I don't know what else to write. Hi to my mom, also to my devushka Rita, she is very beautiful. Oh, if you actually enroll, here's the tip: we have good scholarship, but you better save it up for the exams, you can easily find a halturka in a shop or varehouse to make up a living. And don't tell anyone that you are going to work on the Islands, or else the malchicks will get you tolchocked. Don't worry though, the vecks are very dobry out there.

Industry: Resource Extraction Country: International (Lzecov Islands tax resident) The U92 takes part in 3E is one of the sponsors for the Lezcov exibition! Yes, it is the very U92, or Union 92, one of the largest mining conglomerates in the world. U92 specialises on uranium ore extraction but also holds several deposits of bauxite, spodumene, nepheline and other minerals. If you never heard of these minerals, let's just say that components for computers come from them. Why, haven't you heard of U92 as well? Now you did. And you should treat its employees with awe and utmost respect, like everyone at Lcezov Islands do. It was U92 that generously invested into Lezkov nuclear plant after their uranium mines got depleted. It was U92 that helped the government of Zelcov Islands establish banking institutions to turn the nation into a renowned financial hub. U92 invests into the tourism of Kezlov Islands as well. Moreso, U92 takes part into global environmental initiatives. Remember that time when a family of whales was trapped in ice and then got released? Yes, it was us. Well, there were other people involved like the military, the commies and a crazy hippie girl, but it was our personnel and our money first and foremost. This is why U92 is the important power in Whateverkov Islands and the real gem of this exposition. Speaking of gems, take a look at this cool rock. This is where uranium comes from! Watch out for the radiation though, don't touch it and don't breath in its direction, please.

Industry: Energy Country: Lzecov Islands For many years, we Lzeci relied on dirty energy sources like coal and diesel fuel. The latter was especially common for remote islands. However, 47 years ago our most patriotic citizens decided to build an Atomic Power Plant in the heart of the barren island of Holodryga. The city found near the plant to maintain it became our new capital, Aurora-Australis. Nowadays, the Holodryga Atomic Power Plant provides energy for almost every island. Our vast infrastructure reaches Jugansk, Pescovka, Taxergrad and Santo village, despite their opposite directions from the plant. The Lzecov dream of having clean and cheap energy in every house is finally fullfilled. HAPS is the centre of our capital and the heart of our nation. This hot heart uses the Iceroast lake for cooling. There, we breed fish and clams, any tourist visiting the station can try a cooked clam or fried salmon made by the best cooks in Aurora-Astralis. Visit HAPS and enjoy the wonders of atomic energy! Holodryga Atomic Power Station: The Power of Atom and Steam Localized Entirely Within Your Kitchen!

Industry: Pharmaceuticals Country: Lzecov Islands The company was found only 3 years ago in Pescovka village by Dr. Yong, yet it already gained recognotion all over Andolia and beyond!

Homeo Sapience medicaments are free from influence of Big Pharma and AI demon-driven technologies*. HS uses natural ingredients such as mushrooms, berries and penguin feathers, but they do it with care for nature and our patients. Please take a look at our newest product: * — said restriction does not apply to any outside contractors hired by Homeo Sapience

Are tomatoes fruits or vegetables?

Hello, I am from Kola peninsula and I am hosting the Lzecov Islands! Right now I'm trying out creating a topic on this forum. As if it's not obvious already

I am free for I have nothing to lose!! yet... Nevermind, I've got my Citizen ship now. Sailing off now

Nation name: Lzecov Islands Discord name: thaneofkovdor Map nation name: Lzecov Islands A couple sentences about your nation: Lzecov Islands is a nation located on the southern islands of Andolia. It serves as a place of residency for corporations that try to avoid taxes, as an offshore zone, and allegedly as a money laundering mechanism. It is a role model for some libertarians, as the Lzecov government does not imposes any direct taxes (too bad they have lots of indirect ones) and, while it provides basic education and healthcare, most of the population prefers private services. The islands are a popular tourist destination. The main attractions are mysterious tundra landscapes and southern lights, but Lzeci have more than natural wonders to offer. Like Pescovka, once a rich village that died along with its polar fox farm but got reborn as a resort for depressed billionaires. Lzecov Islands have a vast infrastructure supported by government-owned companies (that is, the government has the largest share of them), and the tourists can make sure of it when driving a bus on a national highway or sailing a yacht between the main islands. The common folk, however, uses civilian infrastructure, but who cares! Better look at the nuclear power plant in the city of Aurora-Australis, the scientific hub and the Lzecov power center (in all means). Lzecov Islands hugely depend on foreign powers. The army consists of naval police and international military bases, and the workforce is at large consists of immigrants who are willing to risk their lives and health to earn a quick buck. But the foreign powers depend on Lzecov Islands as well. Why else do they use the long and dangerous, but barely taxing Southern Sea Route? The national languages are Common and Lzecovian Native. Though Lzecovian Common is highly influenced by Lzecovian Native, and Lzecovian Native is not exacly native but the language of the first colonial overlord... also there are immigrant languages, but no one speaks them statistically. Map request as an image: The area below New Velka. If it's not possible to include all the islands, exclude the south-eastern ones 3-Letter Code: LZI 2-Letter Code: LZ Capital City: Aurora-Australis Government Type: Presidential Republic The population of my nation is: Below average The population density of my nation is: Below average The GDP per capita of my nation is: Above average Government Spending - Which statement best describes your nation? My nation provides moderate social programs, or a small selection of social programs. My nation has an extensive social safety net, or provides multiple programs like universal healthcare, welfare, and free tuition for its citizens My nation does not provide social programs beyond bare necessities and/or high school educations. ✅ My nation does not prioritize social spending, but engages in some large-scale government or public spending projects. My nation’s government spending is a vast majority of our GDP, such as having to coordinate our import-dependent economy. (this option is subject to Cartography Board approval) Military Indicator - Which statement best describes your nation? My nation has made a commitment to security, and maintains a moderately sized modern armed forces within our means. My nation has little incentive or political drive for military spending, but maintains a small-to-moderate modern armed forces. My nation has prioritized military spending at the expense of other key areas and may have been criticized for lack of freedom or human rights issues. ✅ My nation does not prioritize military spending due to other priorities, the belief we are safe, or we don’t have enough money left over to fund it. My nation is heavily embattled and we believe we face an existential threat. (this option is subject to Cartography Board approval) Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: Lzecov Islands is inspired by several countries/regions: Alaska: Lzecov was previously a colony of a slavic-esque empire, later sold to another nation. Some time later silver ore was discovered... Australia: ...but before that the recently bought colony was used as a place of exile for criminals Nauru: The islands became populous because of silver — and later uranium — rush, also got money from farming expensive polar fox fur. But at the end of the last century the mines got depleted, and the foxes had to be killed because of the Fox Flu. A large chunk of the population fled the nation Cayman Islands: So now the nation is a large offshore bank and a tax heaven; it provides a naval route alternative to Darkesian Sea, with much lower tax rate; finally, extreme tourism is also helps to get some foreign currency Russian Arctic: Now Lzecov Islands is a nation with a strong currency and high income rates, but also with a high cost of living and somewhat average quality of life; it has a large infrastructure and provides free healthcare and education, but these are deteriorating because of lack of funding, and also because those were created for a country with a larger population. It also highly depends on cheap immigrant labor, corporate investments and foreign aid.

I, Lzecov Islands, swear that I have, to the best of my knowledge, been completely truthful in applying for citizenship in The West Pacific and that I have no other NationStates identity that has not been made known in this application. I swear my allegiance to The West Pacific and its citizens, and I swear not to engage in hostilities against The West Pacific or to violate The Manners of Governance, or any laws made pursuant to it.
