No real-life countries exist or have ever existed in the world of Esferos, so no. You can certainly use real nations as inspiration, but cannot directly import real places, history, people, etc.

Edit: There are other issues with your application, but I will leave those to the Loremasters to sort out.

[The_Fungus0909]

Ok thanks😐

[Fujai]

@The_Fungus0909 You must be approved for Hall of Nations citizenship before your Mapplication™ can be approved. Please do so here ASAP and we'll get you moving forward.

Regarding your Mapplication™ itself, there are several issues:

1. "Resident nation" refers to the nation you have residing in TWP gameside on Nationstates.net
2. While you do not need a Discord account to participate in roleplay, we do highly suggest you join the TWP server and TWP Roleplay server, as they are the hubs for community communication. If you do so, we will need your Discord username to get you properly masked.
3. "Map nation name" is the name you choose for the country you wish to create in the world of Esferos. As such, it does not need to match your NS nation name and it must not contain references to countries existing on Earth. This is expanded upon in the Guide thread, which is also pinned in this subforum
4. Re: your nation's history, you must work out shared histories—in this case a potential history with Kalmach—with that person and not in your Mapplication™. Don't get too attached to a concept before you do this, as you cannot force someone else's country to have a certain relationship with your own.
5. On fascism: As a government system and plot device, it is fine. However, the moment a fascist RP nation becomes a clone of the Third Reich or utilizes Nazi symbolism or known hate group imagery, a ban will be immediately and irrevocably levied. Enforcement is at the mods' discretion. There will be no warnings: be advised.
6. See OT's comment

@Annix Your Mapplication™ looks good, we'll get you processed soon, my apologies for the delay.

A couple sentences about your nation:

A nation formed from the ashes of revolution and civil nearly three decades ago, it stands as one of the few relatively Anarchist nations in Esferos.

Both admired and criticised alike for the high degree of importance placed on public participation and egalitarianism, it walks the path of recovery, of settling in and making something of itself in the world, on the precipice between governance and the lack thereof.

Composed of a hardy, yet welcoming peoples, in the cold north, united by a desire to see their grand experiment prosper, it too holds it as the beacon that guides its ship of state, and would likely warmer relations with its now-neighbours.

For balance reasons, to increase your nation's land area, one or more of your nation's other metrics (population, GDP/capita, gov't spending, etc) would have to be significantly lowered to compensate.

More importantly, why do you wish for your nation to have a larger land area? What purpose does it serve? There have to be very good reasons for the Cartography Board to be able to consider this.

Initially I was supposed to submit a broader size of my country last month due being my request was far too large so I shrunk it down to that size ( the one you see right now with the red line inclusive.) however at  the time the map was updated, I was on vacation with my family and as such I couldn't submit it my proposed borders ( for you curious, I didn't have my laptop at the time which i   used for nationstates  and I don't have the nationstates app on my phone at the time.)  so i just came here to resumbit my mappliciation of my broders.

@Karlica, the Cartography Board decided not to approve your expansion request. Your original area request was reduced for being too large and brought to a size that would have minimal effect on your other requested statistics and indicators. Wanting one's nation to be larger for the sake of being larger is not a compelling enough reason for expansion.

Resident nation: The Republic of Laskadayone

Discord name: Starpoint V #3209

Map nation name: Laskadayone

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

Formed after going through a period of coups, instability, civil war and revolution which were bloody, authoritarian and full of uncertainty about the status and surrounding conditions. After the darkest 10 year period in history. 10 years after the society reformed itself. Now Laskadayone is able to stand again as a country that loves peace, is friendly to everyone, smiles and is patient in dealing with existing conditions.

This country is transforming from previously focusing on natural products to being a country that relies on business activities on information technology from the plains and tourists. The Laskadayone people have a great love of books and they are very happy to learn new things.

Having problems especially with other countries is something that is really avoided without exception. Having lots of friends, especially from other continents or neighbors, is fun because this country adheres to an equal system and they will choose to compromise rather than make a fuss or trouble.

Resident nation: Prokiya

Discord name: Nora19./Nora19#4664

Map nation name: Prokiya

A couple sentences about your nation: Prokiya, formally known as the the Rational Fraternal State, is a nation guided by the religio-philosophy of Darush, a 14th century A.F. philosopher, economist, and political theorist from Öraniya, what is now the South coast of the nation.

The country has a planned economy which was during its early years under the democratic and collective rule of the working and peasant classes, but now increasingly it is commanded by a bureaucratic caste which has elevated itself above the rest of society. Most of the economy is part of the national planned economy, but particularly in the agricultural sector co-operatives are also prominent, and private property is mostly restricted to personal belongings and dwellings. Prokiya literally means Sibling Place, and despite the degeneration of the democracy it retains democratic elements and an extremely egalitarian culture. The official language of Prokiya, Fraternal Standard, is a constructed language which was promoted to unify the country's different ethnic groups and supersede nationalism, how successful that experiment really was is up for debate.

The nation is relatively underdeveloped, but its wealth of natural resources in combination with economic planning has allowed it to achieve a modest but still decent living standard for most of its inhabitants. The southern interior and the desert is mostly economically dependent on resource extraction, while the fertile far-North and South coast are agriculturally productive and also home to some important urban areas. Universal access to higher education has made the big cities relatively modern centers of innovation, in stark contrast with the pretty low-tech rural areas.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: I'm thinking that the revolution which toppled the Öraniye Empire and established in its stead Prokiya will be something like a cross between the October revolution and the Iranian revolution with a healthy dose of something akin to Vulcan philosophy from Star Trek thrown into the mix.

The immediate tasks I'll be putting myself to work with in terms of national worldbuilding will be related to the last century or so of Prokiye history, its current ethnic, linguistic, and religious make-up, philosophy, government, and its relationships to its neighbours and the outside world.

I've also attached a map of the nation with the three major cities marked. If ö cannot be displayed on the world map for whatever reason, it can be written oe instead.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: 

This is my first Nordic inspired nation. This nation is built on the fundamental beliefs of the polytheistic religion of “Talvanism” which was prevalent throughout the history of Valtamish Society. Its current government was first founded by the state church who took power over the former “Järvi Republic” via a coup de’tate. The current government is more of an oligarchy with the facade of a new republic. A forever prime minister and figurehead king have legitimized the current government to retain their power over the nation. 

As for external relations of the country. OOC I interact with my neighbors quite often. Valtami IC is a hermit with extreme isolationist policies. Im sure there will be exceptions (for example sport events). As of now the country is for the most part closed to the outside world. 

Lastly, I enjoy map creation for my nations so whenever I have time I will be creating different maps of my country. 

 

More WB coming soon
 

Thank you.

Map nation name: Dai Due

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

Dai Due is a small tropical country with a long tradition of rice farming. The economy relies heavily on agriculture, fishery, forestry and mining.

After the overthrow of the last royal family, the country’s experiment with democracy quickly failed when in-fighting between major political forces weakened all, paving the way for a military strongman to take over as supreme leader. The dictator’s reign was short-lived when the military council overthrow him and establish a junta. A resistance force, formed during the reign of the dictator, continue to fight the new military government by guerilla warfare.

I’m planning for this to be a Southeast Asian (with some Chinese language and cultural influences) country currently under a military government and suffering from insurgency and human rights issues. The situation will be somewhat similar to what’s happening in Myanmar. There is a plan for the country to exit the military regime, but whether via a victory for the resistance force or via democratization is still up in the air at the moment.

Attached is a map of where I would like my capital to be:
