Freehold Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Resident nation: Freehold Lakes Discord name: tyrpsi Map nation name: Socialist Federation of Freehold A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats) Freehold is located around a number of small lakes that help protect the land around it and make it easy to grow around there, especially grapes. The region was close and supported the ideas of community and helping each other while growing and making wine. So when their parent country had a large amount of internal struggle the people of Freehold decided to break apart and make their own country, nestled between the lakes and foster their community. Freehold is a more reserved and peaceful country. They are content to grow their food and enjoy life, and will happily share with others. They do know that not everyone is as peaceful as they are so while their military is not large, mainly a defensive force, the people are known to be tough and with mandatory time in the military every citizen would be able to lend a hand in defense of the nation if it came to it. Their economy is focused mainly on agriculture, winemaking, and food. Being a large producer of grapes and dairy products. But they also have a growing tourism industry as well as people love to visit the beautiful land and enjoy everything they can have there.

Inseberistan Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Resident nation: Inseberistan Discord name: thenowhereman_42 Map nation name: Inseberistan A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats) Inseberistan is a fairly average-sized nation located in east Nur. It is bordered by a large mountain range to the west. The capital, Teplosato is situated by Lake Ladov, the largest lake in Inesberistan, and is also the oldest settlement in the nation. Ancient Inseberis had lived in the region for centuries, but they were divided by differing views and subcultures. In 887 AF, tensions by then had loosened, and the 6 Inseberi nations united to form Inseberistan. The current republic was established several years ago after the monarchy was abolished. Over the years, the 6 nations lost numerous powers as the government became more centralized and today, are now 6 provinces that Inseberistan is comprised of. The majority of Inseberistan's cities are located to the south and east, as the high elevations to the west are near inhospitable. Rural towns and villages sparsely populate central Inseberistan, while it's coasts are popular tourist destinations, with the largest city, Provenca, being situated on the southern coast. Inseberistan, being cradled within the mountains, does not have much incentive to spend on its military, but yet, has a defense force ready just in case. The mining industry dominates the Inseberi economy, followed by textiles and farming. Several major mining corporations provide poor working conditions for employees, yet most have no other choice, as mining requires the least work experience in Inseberistan.

Sensorland Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Resident nation: Sensorland Discord name: johnnyturnpike Map nation name: Sensoria A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats) Sensoria (also referred to as Sensorland) is a coastal republic in southern Aura, on the Barry Sea and the Sea of Serenity. Sensoria is led by Harper Huxley, Coordinator of the Assembly of Delegates. The emergence of a united Sensoria is a relatively recent historical development, as the region had long been either ruled by powers like St Mark or split into smaller states. Sensoria's biggest economic strength is a thriving tourism industry, with the nation's natural beauty and historical landmarks attracting many visitors. The government has prioritized tourism-friendly infrastructure, including passenger ports and airports, in order to play to this strength. Sensoria is not a historically powerful country, but may be considered an emerging power following its unification and numerous government reforms, particularly under the ambitious former Coordinator Joe Krantor.

Pacific Estates Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 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.

Atmskull Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Resident nation: Republic of Oestea Discord name: atmskull Map nation name: Oestea A couple sentences about your nation: Oestea is an island nation located between two oceans and two continents. An ancestral land for its people, Oestea carries a rich millennia-old culture characterized by its customs in music, fishing, and the traditional Oestean tapestry. In modern times, Oestea has adopted numerous social policies aimed at economic equality among its citizens, as well as promoting free education and healthcare for its population. However, it has not always been this way. Due to nearly a century of authoritarian governments, Oestea remains a developing country, primarily dependent on fishing and tourism, but with significant potential in mining in the near future. In international relations, Oestea consistently seeks to maintain a position of neutrality, prioritizing diplomacy. Its geographical location near the "Gate of Time" ensures important economic and strategic control at the separation of the continents of Doll Guldur and Aura, giving Oestea a certain significance in the international arena.

Aktova Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Resident nation: Aktova Discord name: aktovanfederation_15513 Map nation name: Aktova A couple sentences about your nation: Aktova is a nation located in the middle of the Barry Sea, relying heavily on fishing and trade with its neighboring countries. The nation is technologically behind compared to others in the region but harbors ambitions of becoming a global leader in technology. Aktova’s economy is largely based on maritime trade, making the sea its most vital resource. However, its navy is weak, which limits its ability to protect its trade routes or project power beyond its immediate region. The ruling government is a dictatorship, with a leader who prioritizes national unity and stability above everything else. This dictator dreams of building a powerful navy to dominate regional trade and eventually control global maritime commerce. Though Aktova’s technological capabilities are currently limited, it has started laying the groundwork to develop advanced industries that could one day give it a competitive edge. The dictator envisions a future where Aktova, through both military might and technological prowess, becomes a dominant force in world affairs. To achieve this vision, the nation faces significant hurdles, including modernizing its fleet, securing resources, and maintaining internal unity amidst external pressures. With such ambitious goals, Aktova’s journey toward dominance is likely to be fraught with internal and external challenges, making the balance between stability and growth critical to its success.

It might establish secret shipyards or offshore bases in the Barry Sea to strengthen its navy discreetly. The dictatorship could promote nationalism and a culture of innovation, rewarding scientists who advance the nation’s goals. Aktova might also try to expand its strategic alliance and invite more of its neighbors to join, offering resources like seafood or rare marine minerals in exchange for technological support. Its geographic isolation could provide natural defenses but also limit easy expansion, requiring clever diplomatic or covert strategies to influence global trade. pipripfat and Fujai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrum Centrum has a population of around 2,440,000, which is a relatively low population density, especially compared to its neighbor, Aktova. Ferrum Centrum's economy primarily relies on fishing and trade with other nations, similar to Aktova, but it faces challenges due to its poor economic condition. The nation has chosen to maintain a smaller, well-manned navy, prioritizing operational readiness and the quality of its naval forces over sheer size. Ferrum Centrum has an economic and military alliance with Aktova, with shared ambitions to control regional and global trade, enhancing its security and strategic influence.

Most of the Kirsilian population lives in the coastal region, where the climate is milder compared to the inland desert region. Kirsil has become a leading producer of solar energy by virtue of constructing vast arrays of solar panels in the desert.

Sekiya Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Resident nation: Sekiya Discord name: Sekiya Map nation name: Säkkia Long name: The Principality of Säkkia A couple sentences paragraphs about your nation: Säkkia is a large and vast nation in the north of Doll Guldur. The majority of the country is Tundra, and largely uninhabitable, except for the south and around the banks of the Storafors river. The port city of Fiskoping sits on the river's mouth, where it reaches the Mazu Bay. The economy of Säkkia is primarily service based, however the country’s state owned oil, gas, hardwood and mineral industries help to fill the nation’s coffers. With a population of just over six million, the state invests heavily into its people’s education and health. Säkkia has many highly skilled jobs in pharmaceuticals, tech and research. Säkkia is heavily reliant on imports from its neighbors, and Esferos as a whole. Säkkia’s consumer goods production is limited, and the agricultural sector is almost non-existent, however aquaculture, hunting and foraging has helped to feed Säkkis throughout most of its history. Säkkia is a constitutional principality, with a noble family holding ceremonial control over the country and its military; however the noble family lacks any de facto control. Säkkia was historically a part of The Golden Emmeria-Khesed, however seceded in ~1022. Several small border wars were fought between Säkkia and its neighbors in the 11th century, bringing about its modern borders.

Platena Posted Sunday at 09:34 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:34 PM Resident nation: Platena Discord name: Ok.Mateoo Map nation name: Platena A couple sentences about your nation: Platena is a unique nation governed by two presidential leaders who act as mutual checks on each other’s power, ensuring that no single individual can dominate the executive branch. Its political landscape is defined by a multi-party system where the presidency is usually held by representatives from one of the four leading parties. The dual-presidency system was established to prevent abuse, fostering a balance of power within the government and restoring the citizens’ trust after a turbulent history of oppression. Years ago, Platena suffered under a single-president system that led to an era of extreme authoritarianism. A series of corrupt leaders dissolved congress, crushed freedom of press, protest, and education, and repeatedly rigged elections to maintain control. For many dark years, dissenters were met with force, silencing any form of resistance until a coalition of ex-military, police, and brave citizens took up arms against the regime, sparking a five-year civil war. This struggle culminated in the capture of the president, who was ultimately tried and executed along with his top officials. The Plantensean Unity Party was dissolved, and the surviving parties nominated a leader to reshape the nation. This new president restored democratic institutions and instituted the two-presidency system. In the following years, Platena remained isolated to focus on rebuilding, until its current leaders recently opened the nation to foreign relations, marking a new era of progress. Today, Platena’s economy is highly capitalist, with most sectors privately owned and limited government involvement. Nearly every industry is privatized, fostering a competitive, market-driven economy. However, the government retains strict control over the gas station and casino industries, both of which are owned by state-backed companies. These companies, though structured as private entities, function as government-controlled monopolies. Revenue from these industries funds various welfare programs, providing support to citizens through public services and social assistance.
