The country is bordered by the Barry Sea to the west, the Serenity Sea to the east, and the Darkesian Sea to the southeast. It shares a southern border with Aktova, with which it shares the main island, and also includes smaller islands situated in the surrounding seas. The country has an area of 135,285 km² and an estimated population of 8 million people, with its capital Del Sol, which is home to around 1 million inhabitants.  
    Throughout its history, Térassic Estates was an important port nation, serving as a hub for trade routes between the continent of Aura and other regions. Its strategic location at the crossroads of maritime routes made the country a crucial point for the trade of spices, precious metals, and various goods. Del Sol, the capital, emerged as one of the largest port centers in the region, attracting merchants, immigrants, and explorers from various parts of the world, which shaped its cultural and demographic identity over the centuries. Térassic Estates gained independence after a series of peaceful revolts led by local merchants, dockworkers, and small farmers. The declaration of independence marked the end of colonial control and the beginning of a period of political and economic reorganization. Despite liberation, the new country inherited significant social inequalities, which were progressively addressed over the following decades.
    Térassic Estates adopts a Presidential Republic system. The current president, Mila Arturo, is known for her administration focused on progressive policies and social inclusion. Following the steps of previous administrations, her government has promoted the expansion of universal healthcare programs and access to public and higher education, as well as advances in technology, renewable energy, and sustainable tourism. Over the past few decades, the country has been an example in implementing progressive social policies. The universal healthcare system was established to ensure free medical care for the entire population. Additionally, the government expanded access to free public education, with the construction of new schools and universities, as well as incentive programs for higher education. The country is also recognized for its pro-LGBTQIA+ policies, being one of the regional leaders in civil rights for this community. Anti-discrimination laws, along with initiatives such as support centers and educational programs on gender equality, position Térassic Estates as a reference in social inclusion.
    The country occupies the northern part of the main island it shares with Aktova and also controls several smaller islands in the Barry and Darkesian Seas. Its geography is diverse, with coastal plains, mountains, and tropical forests that harbor rich biodiversity.
    Térassic Estates has a mixed capitalist economy with strong participation from both the public and private sectors. The country is the 11th largest economy in Aura, with an estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 372.1 billion IMU and one of the highest per capita GDPs in the region, reaching 46,000 IMU. Tourism is the most important sector of the economy, representing more than 60% of GDP. The country is famous for its paradisiacal beaches, tropical forests, and mountainous landscapes, as well as luxury resorts and cultural attractions in cities like Del Sol. Ecotourism has also been growing, focusing on environmental preservation and sustainable tourism. The Xamálica Nature Reserve, for example, is one of the most sought-after destinations for tourists seeking outdoor adventures and a connection with nature.

    More about Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau

    Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau (Tombeau University Hospital)
    Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau was founded in 1235 by Marcelle Fullo Tombeau, a wealthy physician in the then northern territories controlled by the national government. Tombeau was a military doctor, who saw that many settlers didn’t have proper medical care, and had to beg army physicians for surgeries.
    Marcelle Fullo Tombeau, painted by Henri Van Slyck, 1256
    Tombeau created HUT in a two room brick walled wine press building. HUT was initially called l'Hôpital du Pauvre Voyageur. Funding was tight, and came from donations from friends, and donors who would mail donations through word of mouth, or almanac advertisements. Medical care was free, or extremely discounted (sometimes called penny exams).
    The Original HUT building found in 1386, before it was restored as a historical site
     
    A vicious winter in 1248 left many people injured, and the free medical care provided by HUT drew the attention of the committees forming the state of Mare de Sang. HUT gained a state charter in 1250, and has been a state funded medical institution ever since. The teaching function of the hospital began in 1255. It began to take in students, have a curriculum, and certify physicians.
     

    the modern HUT campus in the heart of Ruisseau Rouge
    To date HUT handles the highest volume of severe illness cases in the northern region. HUT has a full service burn-unit, intensive care unit, and epidemiology unit, among other specialty services. HUT’s 9000 staff, students, visiting physicians, and affiliated out-patient specialists play a major role in the overall health of the northern region.

The country is bordered by the Barry Sea to the west, the Serenity Sea to the east, and the Darkesian Sea to the southeast. It shares a southern border with Aktova, with which it shares the main island, and also includes smaller islands situated in the surrounding seas. Its geography is diverse, with coastal plains, mountains, and tropical forests that harbor rich biodiversity. The country has an area of 135,285 km² and an estimated population of 8 million people, with its capital Del Sol, which is home to around 1 million inhabitants. Throughout its history, Térassic Estates was an port nation, serving as a hub for trade routes between the continent of Aura and other regions. Its strategic location at the crossroads of maritime routes made the country a crucial point for the trade of spices, precious metals, and various goods. Del Sol, the capital, emerged as one of the largest port centers in the region, attracting merchants, immigrants, and explorers from various parts of the world, which shaped its cultural and demographic identity over the centuries. Térassic Estates gained independence after a series of peaceful revolts led by local merchants, dockworkers, and small farmers. The declaration of independence marked the end of colonial control and the beginning of a period of political and economic reorganization. Despite liberation, the new country inherited significant social inequalities, which were progressively addressed over the following decades.
    Térassic Estates adopts a Presidential Republic system. The current president, Mila Arturo, is known for her administration focused on progressive policies and social inclusion. Following the steps of previous administrations, her government has promoted the expansion of universal healthcare programs and access to public and higher education, as well as advances in technology, renewable energy, and sustainable tourism. Over the past few decades, the country has been an example in implementing progressive social policies. The universal healthcare system was established to ensure free medical care for the entire population. Additionally, the government expanded access to free public education, with the construction of new schools and universities, as well as incentive programs for higher education. The country is also recognized for its pro-LGBTQIA+ policies, being one of the regional leaders in civil rights for this community. Anti-discrimination laws, along with initiatives such as support centers and educational programs on gender equality, position Térassic Estates as a reference in social inclusion.
    Térassic Estates has a mixed capitalist economy with strong participation from both the public and private sectors. The country is the 11th largest economy in Aura, with an estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 372.1 billion IMU and one of the highest per capita GDPs in the region, reaching 46,000 IMU. Tourism is the most important sector of the economy, representing more than 60% of GDP. The country is famous for its paradisiacal beaches, tropical forests, and mountainous landscapes, as well as luxury resorts and cultural attractions in cities like Del Sol. Ecotourism has also been growing, focusing on environmental preservation and sustainable tourism. The Xamálica Nature Reserve, for example, is one of the most sought-after destinations for tourists seeking outdoor adventures and a connection with nature.

    Geography

    Varia is located in the northern coasts of the northern continent of Doll-Guldur, and is part of the polar area of Esferos. Geographically, it is located between the longitude of 1° 30' 30" East - 8° 10' 10"East and the latitude of 50° 40' 10"North - 59° 10' 10" North. Varia’s easternmost point is very near the Meridian of Marcarius, and thus is part of IAT+0 time zone, domestically called Varian Time. Varia is bordered by two other states in Doll-Guldur; the nation of Novasamita to the west and southwest and the nation of Novia Xeneia to the south. To the north, Varia is bounded by the polar Thulian Ocean, specifically the Proxima Thulia Sea, which freezes over during winter. 
    Landscape
    Varian territory is relatively flat, with its highest point only reaching below 1.3 kilometres from the surface of the sea. However, Varia’s landscape is quite rugged, similar to the make-up of the majority of Doll-Guldur's landscape. Hills and valleys straddled the nation, stretching from the southwest point to its northeast. The region is marked by lowlands on its extreme north and south, separated by highlands and the Dalekie Mountains in the middle. The highest point in Varia is Mount Północna (1272 m from sea surface), while its lowest point is the Czamisto Depression which reached the depth of -10m from sea surface The highly diverse and rugged landscape of Varia is due to its proximity near the divergent boundaries of Doll-Guldur's two tectonic plates, wich separate a smaller northern landmass with the larger southern landmass. The divergent motion of the tectonic plates caused the formation of rift valleys which formed the stretched hills and canyons of Varia, as well as creating a tectonically active region that experienced earthquakes often. There are some minor surface volcanic activities, due to the nearby plate boundary, however most of Varia’s volcanic landscapes have been formed millions of years ago and are not currently active.

    Taiga coverage in Northeast Varia, in Polyar Rayon.
    Climate
    The vast majority of Varia lies under the Subarctic climate category due to the extremity of its northward location. On average, Varia experienced harsh and cold winters with temperatures averaging -20° C, and cold arid summers with average temperatures of around 18° C. The landscape of Varia also created a higher climatic difference between the extreme north and south of the nation. Temperature can fall to below -30° C in the northernmost point during winter, while in the south, it can reach between 20 to 25° C in summer. This difference is caused by the Dalekie Mountains, which despite its low altitude, forces southwesterly winds that carry moistures up to dry, causing a rain shadow effect that gives higher rainfall and humidity to the southern regions, while making the northern regions much colder and arid. However, the temperature variation does not affect the biome make-up of Varia, which is mostly composed of taiga forests, with a small coniferous and savannah coverage in the southernmost point.
     
     
    Regional Division
    Varia is divided into eight Commonwealth States, four Commonwealth Districts, and five Commonwealth Metros. The eight States governed their own territory, with their own elected governments and their own laws and constitutions. The States use their own local language in administration, have their own separate State Budget, and govern autonomously for the most part, with exception on defense, security, and financial matters which belong to the central government. Commonwealth Districts are regions that do not have their own autonomy, and are subject to the Commonwealth Government. The districts are headed by elected Governors, and have their own local legislatures, but lack most of the privileges afforded to States, including the right to raise their own taxes. Commonwealth Metros are similar to Districts, but they are led by elected Mayors. Both States and Rayons are further divided into Municipalities which are categorised into Urban (Cities) and Rural. Municipalities are governed by elected Mayors and deputies of the Municipal Councils, and are responsible for building and maintaining local infrastructures. For administrative and bureaucratic services, Municipalities are separated into Sectors, before being further divided into Communes. Communes comprise between 75 to 200 families, and are the smallest subdivision of the Commonwealth. Each Communes have their own unique customs and their own local financial arrangements, but are generally led by an elected Chairman.

Varia borders the nation of Novasemita to the west, Novia Xeneia to the south, and the Thulian Ocean to the north. Varia covers a total area of 504,410 km2 (194,754 sq mi), and has a population of 13.5 million. Oltva is the capital city where the Commonwealth Government is based, while Verengard is the largest city by population and the financial centre of the nation. Varia is a multicultural nation, with no single ethnicity gaining a majority over the total amount of population. Despite this, Oltvan is considered to be its official language and serves as the lingua franca, being spoken by 32 percent of the population as their mother tongue. Varia’s climate is predominantly cold, with only a small area of warmer  continental climate in the southern regions.
    Prehistoric human activity on Varian soil dates to around 10,000 BF, and the region has been continuously populated ever since. The territory of Varia has been multicultural, hosting different migratory people from time to time. The first of modern-day Varian ethnicities that inhabited the region is the Livans people, who settled on the very southern edge of the region in around 4,000 BF. The Severnians and Polosnians eventually invaded the region and pushed the Livans northward toward the Dalekie Mountains in around 2,100 BF and settled in the south. The Oltvan Great Voyage of the 3rd century saw several waves of Oltvan invaders defeating the former inhabitants and claiming much of modern-day Varian territory, bringing with them the Borealist faith. The Aurora Wars dominated the 4th century history of Varia, and The Kingdom of Oltva eventually emerged by the 5th century after King Vyacheslav united all factions of the Oltvan invaders. Between the 5th to the 9th century, Oltva expanded slowly over the other petty kingdoms of the Polosnians and the Severnians. However, a succession crisis and a state of anarchy ended the Golden Age of Oltva in 821 AF when the city of Oltva was sacked. 
    The Eight Nations period lasted until the 12th century, filled with continuous wars while the region entered the age of enlightenment. Eventually, the Polosnian Queen Wyszesława completed a series of Polosnian expansions and united the eight Kingdoms under the Union of Varia in 1192. Varia remained a largely agrarian nation until the Varian Student’s Coup of 1291 forced the monarchy to agree on the Eight Nations Treaty of 1291, giving the minorities of Varia more rights, ending serfdom and bringing industrialisation to Varia. The new regime was soon dominated by wealthy aristocrats and industrialists, and the massive wealth gap triggered the 1321 General Strike and the end of the Monarchy. The newly proclaimed Commonwealth of Varia was unstable, however, and political disagreements led to the First Varian Civil War in 1324-1332 which ended with the dictatorship of Sviatopolk Ziminsky (1332-1351) and Yevgeniya Tavon (1351-1376). A state of anarchy enveloped Varia between 1376 until 1404 with the victory of the Varian Restoration Authority under Wojciech Kaminski. In 1408, constitutional reforms were implemented, but the Restoration Authority remained dominant over Varia to this day. 
    Varia is a semi-presidential republic with its bicameral legislature comprising the Commonwealth Assembly and the States Assembly. Varia is considered a middling power and has a developing market with an upper-middle income economy. Varia has the fifth largest economy by total GDP and GDP per capita in Doll-Guldur, and its citizens enjoy average standard of living, and safety. Varia has a mixed-approach economic system, with both the government and private corporation contributing significantly to the economy as a whole. The state of Varia provides free education up to secondary education and universal health care coverage, though these services still lacking in terms of quantity and quality. Varia boasted hundreds of protected national parks and endangered habitats, and thousands of historic landmarks, supporting its developing tourism industry.
    Etymology
    The name Varia is an old Oltvan word that literally means "Various". The name was a shortening of the Union of Varian Crowns (Oltvan: Soyuz Varianskikh Koron), the name of the polity established by Queen Wyszesława in 1192. The name remained as the official name of the Commonwealth of Varia following the General Strike of 1321, in order to represent the various ethnicities and the multiculturalist values of the Commonwealth. There were attempts at renaming the Commonwealth, predominantly due to the name being very much descriptive in Oltvan. One such attempt was done by President Sviatopolk Ziminsky in 1333, into the Commonwealth of Polosnia, reminiscent of his own homeland. This attempt triggered a widespread protests across the country, which stopped the movement from ever going forward. Another attempt to rename it was in 1407, when several members of the Commonwealth Assembly argued to adopt the name of Commonwealth of the North (Oltvan : Severnoye Sodruzhestvo) or even the Polar Commonwealth (Oltvan : Polyarnoye Sodruzhestvo) but both did not receive widepsread support, the former due to its ambiguity, and the latter due to the fact that Varia was not located in the Continent of Polaris. 
    Geographical Conditions
    Varia is located in the northern coasts of the continent Doll-Guldur. Geographically, it is located between 1°30'30" East - 8°10'10"East and 50°40'10"North - 59°10'10" North and is very near with the Meridian of Marcarius. Varia is bordered by two other states; the nation of Novasamita to the west and southwest and the nation of Novia Xeneia to the south. To the north, Varia is bounded by the Thulian Ocean, specifically the Proxima Thulia Sea. Varian territory is relatively flat but rugged, similar to the make-up of the majority of Doll-Guldur's landscape. The region is marked by lowlands on its extreme north and south, separated by highlands and the Dalekie Mountains in the middle. The highest point in Varia is Mount Północna, literally means "Mount North" due to the view of the Northern Stars from it's peak. Varia is located near the divergent boundaries of Doll-Guldur's two tectonic plates to the south of Varia. The divergent motion of the tectonic plates caused the formation of rift valleys in the south and a tectonically active region that oftentimes creates earthquakes.
    Due to the extremity of its northward location, Varia experienced high temperature variation between seasons. Temperature can fall to below -30° C in the northernmost point during winter, while in the south, in can reach 28 to 30° C in summer. The variation of temperature is caused due to climatic difference between the north and the south of Varia. South of the Dalekie Mountains, rain shadow effect caused the region to receive higher rainfall and is generally warmer, while north of the Mountains, the region is more colder and arid. Due to this, huge amount of Varia's territory is covered with Taiga Forests, with only a small and much more humid continental climate to the very southern point of the nation. Due to this phenomenon, the vast majority (78%) of Varia's population reside to the south of the Dalekie Mountains, while the north is mostly desolate with minor settlements near bodies of water and navigable rivers. 
    Socio-Political Conditions
    Varia is a multiethnic state, composed of the Eight Nations of the Commonwealth, and multitudes of smaller indigenous people. These Eight Nations are, in order of population, Oltvina, Polosna, Sodnia, Severnia, Belina, Ineria, Livania, and Yashelia. Each of these nations has their own language, and unique traditions and values. Throughout Varia's history, these nations has been at war with each other, united and reunited multiple times, ultimately leading to the formation of the Union of Varian Crowns in 1192. Ever since, the Eight Nations has been living under a single state, and cultural mix was unavoidable. From new foods, to clothing, and even new dialects were established by inter-cultural mixing that happened under the Union, and later the Commonwealth. Varia today is a federalised semi-presidential republic, and put heavy importance on the sovereign authority of its member states. None of Varia's member states are elevated above the other, with the exception of the imposition of the Oltvan Language for the sake of convenience. Cultural and traditional values were protected from harm, and each states will negotiate as if they are different nations in settling disputes. With years of intermingling and government emphasis on multiculturalism, a new cosmopolitan group emerged from Varia's diversity, the so-called New Varians, who does not indetify from any of the Eight Nations, instead wholeheartedly embrace the plurality of Varia as a multiethnic state. These people dominates the urban landscape of Varia, and has only grown in number with passing time. The more conservative member of society viewed the New Varians with mild suspicion, fearing a dilution of their cultural heritage. Nevertheless, the Varian Restoration Authority under President Wojciech Kaminski remained committed to the unity and cohesion of the Commonwealth.

    Pacific Estates got a reaction from Fujai in The Mapplication™ Thread - Join the world of Esferos!   
    Resident nation: Free Land of Pacific Estates
    Discord name: thepacificestates
    Map nation name: Pacific Estates
    A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats)
    The Pacific Estates is a state located in the Barry Sea, in the Island just below the Strait of the Sun Dragon. With a vast tropical forest, natural riches and lush beaches, Pacific Estates is a country well known for its tourism, culture, celebrations and local food, qualities on which its economy relies. Having invested in infrastructure to accommodate the flow of tourists throughout the year and especially in high seasons, the country has ports, airports and a large hotel network.

    Currently governed by President Mila Arturo, it is a country characterized by its diversity in addition to its social and progressive policies. Historically, the Pacific Estates was a port nation, where it served as points of trade and exploration for large empires, not having great military relevance, ultimately gaining its independence in recent history through the Popular Estatesian Revolt. Due to the country's port history, the large cities are generally located on the coast, as is the majority of the population, with only a few communities remaining in the interior of the country.

    Pacific Estates reacted to Nalibia in Nalibian Royal Ball   
    Nalibia will be hosting a Royal Ball Event. It will be a one day event, hosted in Cyro the capital city of Sheva Province in Nalibia of Nur. The event historically has been used by Nalibians as a way for young Princes, Princesses, Lord, Ladies and Nobles to meet and possibly form long-term relationships that eventually lead to courtships and ultimately marriage. But recently individuals from other nations have been invited and have attended, showing off their nation's (or personal/family) prestige, wealth, and/or statues. 
    Ultimately "Titles" do not matter. As it is about celebrity, statues. pedigree and wealth. And maybe a family/personal ambition to marry into royalty or wealth. The person does not have to have been rich their whole life to attend... They simply have to be rich or well established now. lol
     
    How to:
    The event would be handled like a red carpet event where you would talk about the fashion of the attendees (think Vanity Fair at the Grammys) and give a brief history of their family and/or the achievements of the individual if any. All nations that attend would participate by sending at least one male and female for you to talk about, with a picture of them at the event. The attendee could be anyone in their teens or early twenties that are rich/elite. They would be the sons or daughters of, if not they themselves "important" (rich cough) people. Imagine that the ticket price is too high for anyone but the wealthy or well connected to attend. 
    Imagine a young Paris Hilton (because her family wealth and name), or a young Prince Henry (because his family's royal statues), or the Bush twins when their dad was president (because their parent is/was head of state), or even a young Reese Witherspoon or Taylor Swift (because her own celebrity and personal wealth) attending a Grand Red Carpet Event.
     
    Rules:
    The person attending the function must be between the ages of 12 and 25.
      The person attending the function must either be someone of statues them self, or be the child of someone with status. (Celebrity, CEO, Politician, Ruler/Head of State, Royalty, High Ranking Officer, ect.)
      If you take part in an event; you must make a male and female attendee for that event.
      Feel free to make as many people as you want for each event.
      If you RP your attendee interacting with someone from another nation be respectful.
      Have fun and be creative!  
    (If you know of other AI generators, or better prompts, phrases, keywords, formats, etc; please feel free to DM me so I can share it.)
    The two AI image creators I use are
    https://www.bing.com/images/create?FORM=GENILP : It is free to use and no limit on the amount of images you can make. It makes very good images of both people and objects... However it is very strict. Words like "curvy" can lead to images being flagged or blocked as "sexually explicit", which can be frustrating.
    Which leads me to,
    https://perchance.org/free-nsfw-ai-generator : It is also free with no limit on the amount of images you can make. However, I feel like the images are of slightly lesser quality than Bing, and images are less detailed and mess up more often. The perk of this AI generator is that words are not blocked. The draw back however is that it is more likely to make people nude so you have to keep generating or change keywords to get the desired results. 

    Prompts I used to make examples:
    Beautiful African princess in her early teens walking on a red carpet into a palace, wearing a culturally inspired formal dress and shoes, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, Ancient Israel, styled hair, late evening, view full-body, red carpet event, shoes, paparazzi,

    Bing left/top | perchance right/bottom (removed Paparazzi to get better results)
     
    Handsome African prince in his early teens walking on a red carpet into a palace, wearing culturally inspired formal attire and shoes, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, Ancient Israel, late evening, view full-body, red carpet event, shoes, paparazzi,

    Bing left/top | perchance right/bottom (removed Paparazzi and specified pants to get better results)
     
    African lord and lady in their early teens dancing in a ballroom, wearing culturally inspired formal attire and shoes, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, Ancient Israel, hair style, late evening, view full-body, ball, gala, shoes, paparazzi,

    Bing left/top | perchance right/bottom
    Tip to help those with a character they wish to appear at more than one event of the Royal ball...
    Example,

    1) you make a character you really like. This character is at the Red Carpet event, but I would also like to show her at/in the ballroom...

     
    2) Us a background remover like https://www.remove.bg/ (it is free to use), to remove the background.

     
    3) Generate a room yourself or use a background that I will provide Monday.

     
    4) Use a website like https://www.canva.com/ (it is free to use), to then put both pictures together.

     
    5) Final, Use the picture your done. lol
    (If anyone knows a better way, I am all ears...)
