[Indiguria]

Resident nation: Indiguria

Discord name: indigovoltage

Map nation name: Indigursk Confederacy

A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats)

The Indigursk Confederacy is a federal directorial republic composed of 15 states in which the Head of State and Head of Government is the Federal Council (more specifically, the FIFTH Federal Council), composed of 8 members, each one being of a different party, and each one governing a state.

Indiguria originates from the Old Indigursk Confederacy established in 1386 as a defensive and commercial alliance through a treaty between 6 sovereign states in central Trodskaya, which occupied most of the land that the Ulderthane Empire previously owned before it's collapse in 1317. During the governing of the Second Federal Council, the council members were accused of being communists by members of the Old Nationalist Party, leading to said members of the party planning a coup d'état against the Council, implementing a dicatorial regime which lasted about 22 years. People living in Indiguria were sometimes hunted, tortured and killed, and went missing all of a sudden. Residents, angry, revolted against the dictatorship. Over time, the government became unpopular and unstable, opening gates for the Indigursk Civil War of 1412. In 1416, the dictatorship was overthrown and the Federal Council was put back in power.

Indiguria's economy mostly comes from the exporting of products in general, specially raw material, and the fishing industry, resulting in a good bunch of ports. It's economy also comes from agriculture, mining  (iron, uranium and other metals) and woodchipping.

With Indiguria having control over the Sunderdepths, they maintain focus on developing advanced warships to assure sea superiority. But with bigger focus on making massive killing boats, comes slight inferiority on land combat.

Have you ever asked yourself, what if Switzerland was nordic? Or even, what if Sweden was a directorial republic, just like Switzerland? Like, Swedenland? No? Ok... Anyway, Indiguria is basically that. Also, it's history is also very inspired by Russia, Brazil (the dictatorship part) and Switzerland.

Resident nation: Plateana

Discord name: @shovelshuffler_69332

Map nation name: Plateana

A couple sentences about your nation: The People's Republic of Plateana is a small, developing nation located on the eastern coast of the continent of Aura. 

Plateana's economy relies heavily on agricultural exports, especially so-called "cash crops", such as sugar cane, coffee, tobacco, and coccoa. Other significant exports include latex and palm oil, and other produce such as bananas, papayas, oranges, coconuts, pinneaples, sweet potatoes, cassava, corn, and beans, although a significant amount of these tends to be sold in the internal market.

The Plateanan goverment holds a state-monopoly on rice, the essential dish of Plateanan cuisine, buying it directly from producers and being its sole distributor; the Ministry of Agriculture holds monthly meetings in which it determine the price ceiling, as well as how much is sold to the private market. 

Thanks to a throrough, decades-long Land Reform program, the Plateanan agricultural sector is composed in its majority of smallhold farms and farming cooperatives.

The Plateanan goverment uses the profit from these agricultural exports to help maintain its extensive social wellfare network and invest in industrialization programs.

Plateanan diplomacy is driven primarily by geopolitical pragmatism, but the nation also holds a sense of comraderie towards, and always attempts to strengthen ties with, fellow Socialist goverments.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: Plateana has an extensive railway network running through almost all of the country, which helps connect its densely packed coastal towns to the mountainous countryside.

Plateana's current President is Gilberto Mozzi, of the Plateanan Socialist Party, or PSP, and the current Prime Minister is Antonio Rellani, a member of the Democratic Labor Party, or DLP.

Plateana takes inspiration from many different sources: its language is an expy of Italian, its Semi-presidential system is loosely based on the French one, and its agriculture-heavy economy is taken from Brazil.

In the ideological sense, Plateana takes after non-Marxist-Leninist Socialist parties, groups, and movements of the early 20th century, such as the SPD and its Austrian cousin, the SDAPÖ, as well the Russian Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries. It should be noted, however, that these inspirations are very much surface-level, since I am far from knowledgeable about the fine details and inner workings of said organizations.

A couple sentences about your nation (original content, not NationStates stats):

A country politically fragmented after a bloody and fruitless civil war. The various factions devastated each other, and only the north, dominated by the NRF, remains relatively "stable." It has taken jurisdiction over the other territories, which are still in a state of rebellion. Only the northern part of the country is truly civilized. Leftist guerrillas continue their opposition, and the fanatical Rath’shuist peasants remain unyielding and impossible to pacify.

Public Spending:  Which statement best describes your nation?

My nation does not prioritize social spending but engages in certain large-scale public or governmental projects. (Temporarily, as it is under reconstruction.)

Military Indicator:  Which statement best describes your nation?

My nation is committed to security and maintains a moderately sized, modern military within its capabilities. (The NRF militias are the only forces not completely devastated. They maintain a military presence throughout the country, confronting what little resistance remains.)

Any other inspiration or concept you'd like to share? 

The Sviko ethnic group, which makes up the majority of the population, has a deeply rooted nationalist fervor. Dragunov is seen as the only one capable of carrying the hope of national reconstruction. Both the Rath’shuists and the left have proven unable to sustain the civil war. The NRF has already begun implementing plans for a social truce. The left is slightly more willing to cooperate if certain demands are met, which could allow Dragunov to crush the Rath’shuist resistance.

Rath’shuism is a fundamentalist religion that believes in Rath’shu, a being who left teachings to help followers access a dreamlike dimension as an escape from the horrors of post-mortem existence.

Its people possess a strong work ethic. With sound decision-making, the stability in the north could become the foundation for a national truce, followed by the reconstruction of the country and, later, the revival of the economy.

Aethenstaff is a tropical nation, renowned for its growth of luxury crops such as coffee and tobacco, among other things. The leader, Rekhoy Reney, came to power after his father's death. While the leader's line is hereditary, the many ministers (Of War, Resources, Foreign Relations, etc) are elected into power. Rekhoy is something of a mad scientist, and prefers to leave the direction of the nation in the hands of his officials. He also often gets injured due to his experiments. 

Civil rights are a priority in Aethenstaff, and political freedom is too. However, the Royalty often gets preferential treatment, and resources unavailable to most Aethenstaffians.

[ZAR]

Resident nation: Fyrma

Discord name: kinks.v2

Map nation name: Formally: Zarin Autonomous Republics (Z.A.R) or Zarin Republic, informally: Zarna 

A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats)
The Zarin Republic is a nation primary focused on economics, trade and soft power, similar to Venice or Portugal. It was settled a few centuries ago by this worlds equivalent to vikings and slavs looking for regions with slightly better climate but rough terrain. The nation was divided for a long time with its different states rising and falling until a very rich trade city of Sarai united all the islands together, and now Sarai is the brain and the heart of the nation.

The nation's focus now is economics, education, art, law, architecture, technology but it doesn't shy away from showing its teeth when needed with a strong secret police operating inside and outside for covert missions.

The economy is trade and manufacturing based in the north, with sectors like automobile manufacturing, arms industry, furniture, appliances, electronics, while the south is more agriculture, tourism and resource focused. Capitalist but with socialist and market-socialist elements, for example many laws that deregulate businesses and allowing all citizens to invest in almost anything and buying stocks, but also policies like free public housing to working citizens.

Ideologically and culturally, the nation is an extreme center, with some policies being far left, others far right. 
The head of the state is The Chancellor. And the leader is usually female. And also to religious leader. The parliament has 1500 seats for various factions, with the chancellor herself holding 200 seats. 1 term if 5 years long, and each new term in a row that the chancellor gets elected, new powers get unlocked. If the chancellor gets voted for the 4th time in a row, they become chancellor for life.

The nation is very strategic and machiavellistic, cautious to protect its culture which has many layers and traditions which is its "soul". In some sense closed of, in others very open.

Architecture is a mix of brutalist, neoclassical and gothic/nordic

Heavy focused is placed on beauty, fitness, aesthetics and good looks because it is considered the "social currency"
Men are muscular or fit with long hair, women are beautiful with long hair following 80s style fashion or wearing long veils.  
Nordic and Slavic type.

[Rtajad]

Resident nation: Rtajad

Discord name: manbreathing

Map nation name: Rtajad

A couple sentences about your nation: 

The Commonwealth of Rtajad (Rtajadsi Haitkra) is a federation of states under a republic. The head of state and the head of government of Rtajad is the Steward and is elected by the Council of States. The Steward holds supreme executive power and serves until his/her death or impeachment. The legislative branch of Rtajad's government is divided into two chambers, the Council of States and the Assembly.

The Rtajadian national identity is centered around the Rtajadian language; anyone, regardless of race, religion, and other identities, who embraces the Rtajadian language and acknowledges Rtajadians as his/her brothers and sisters can be considered a Rtajadian. This concept stems from the legend of Srama, the fire-bringer and god of wisdom and virtue who rose among the tribes of what would become Rtajad and gifted humanity with Two Sacred Fires. He taught the scattered tribes a common tongue, the Rtajadian language, allowing them to unite and banish the False Powers from Rtajad. As his final act before ascending into the Oneness, the truth of this world, Srama anointed the first Mahru (sustainer of the fire), establishing a line of Mahrus annointing their successors. The Eighth Mahru, knowing that Rtajadians had matured enough to be worthy of Srama's fire, anointed the entire Rtajadian nation as Mahrus, for they had faithfully risen in Srama’s name and fought to uphold his truth.

Rtajad’s right to bear arms originates from the Rtajadian Revolution (1095 - 1101 AF), a brutal conflict that toppled the separate Kingdoms that used to rule Rtajad and gave rise to the current Commonwealth. With no standing army, the revolution depended on citizen militias armed with looted or improvised firearms. These militias became the backbone of the revolution and remained active even after victory, leading to the right to bear arms being enshrined in the Instrument of Union and Common Authority. However, this results in a heavily armed society where security is remarkably decentralized and where armed militias are common occurrence over the course of the Commonwealth's history. As a consequence, Rtajadians often struggle to solve disputes without resorting to threat of arms.

The economy of the Commonwealth is a regulated mixed system centered around a strong manufacturing base. Rtajad's primary exports are electronic products, a result of policies encouraging high-tech industries during the 1370s. A sizeable small arms manufacturing sector exists in Rtajad as well. Rivers on the east and the relatively calm Southern coast enable efficient transport of goods across Rtajad and support a niche shipbuilding sector (only if the red border application is approved). The nation relies primarily on imported fossil fuel for electricity, though a growing share of the nation's energy production is powered by renewables, especially hydroelectric power. The northeast maintains a decent sized agricultural sector, though Rtajad remains a net importer of food.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: 

"Language nationalism" pulled straight out of Indonesia's Youth Pledge. Federal state with high number of ethnic groups (indigenous and newly arrived alike), based on Nigeria. Rtajadian language here is supposed to be a creole language that emerged around 300s BF which was and is spoken as a lingua franca across Rtajad.

Government inspired by the English Commonwealth, though modified. Economy inspired by East Asian countries actively transitioning towards mid and high tech export-oriented manufacturing during the latter half of 20th century. Area ideally should be around the size of Great Britain, though I'm willing to shave off parts of the claim to preserve the high industrial output.
