[Saboc Federation]

Resident nation: Saboc

Discord name: @greyremnant

Map nation name: Saboc

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

The Federation of Sabocish Communes, often shortened to the Federation of Saboc, or simply "Saboc," is a Syndicalist Federation located in northern-central Polaris. Ruled by a congress of unions (ranging from industrial to rural) and an honorary/powerless President, Saboc enshrines democracy as its most important value.

The Sabocish economy is largely split between its urban industrial base and its rural base. The cities of Saboc are generally industrialized with factories, cooperatives, and state-run businesses. Meanwhile, the rural plains of Saboc are often used for small farms, ranches, and agricultural cooperatives. Interestingly, there is a "lack" of currency, with Labor Vouchers being used as a stand-in and rewarded for work.

Saboc focuses on fostering good relations abroad, happy to seek allies and barter resources for resources, while maintaining an arms-length distance to protect its Syndicalist-economy from the disease of Capitalism.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: 

Saboc is, for the most part, based on a sort of American-Franco-German culture. The nation itself, the structure, is inspired heavily by the likes of the HOI4 mod Kaiserreich, where Syndicalism is actually a force, as I was curious to how a Syndicalist nation will fare (hopefully good!). 

Thanks for reading this. Have a good day/night, whoever you are.

As a child I always drew fictional maps, and I kept always naming the island/region "Whetstone". Moving into middle-high school, I was writing fictional stories revolving Whetstone.

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

Nue Aleutia is a tiny island nation who's only defense from foreign interference is being in land that no one wants. Nonetheless, they make the most of it, and have learned to make use of their nation's natural harbors and sheltered valleys to become mostly self-sufficient with fishing, animal husbandry, and limited agriculture of hardy staple crops.

Nue Aleutia's international economy, meanwhile, is centered around tourism for its natural, untouched beauty, and mineral exports. Almost all profits from these industries, and the other smaller industries which make up the economy, are put into social welfare and education, in the hopes to cultivate a well-educated and happy populace and move away from an extraction economy and towards a future in tech and specialized manufacturing exports.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share:

Nue Aleutia walks a fine line between desperately needing more citizens to sustain the economy and expand into other islands of their archipelago, and needing to maintain a steady rate of growth due to their incredibly expensive social programs. A sharp increase in population would jumpstart their economy thanks to a larger tax base, but would also cripple with years of debt to pay for their health, education, and welfare. Thus, they're stuck with a very slow growth rate, and uncharacteristically strict border controls.

[Hulwa]

Resident nation: Hulwa

Discord name: adachi.hci3_p0

Map nation name: Hulwa

A couple sentences about your nation:

Hulwa, officially the Nation of Great Hulwa, is a large state on the coast of Southern Nur. The majority of its territory is comprised of vast fertile plains to the west and lofty mountains to the east, throughout which the Hulwan peoples have practiced various modes of nomadic pastoralism for thousands of years. Hulwa emerged from the unification of many disparate clans under the banner of Min Senlot, forming into an imperial state under the Xufan who in the Modern Age has been reduced from autocrat of the realm to its chief spiritual authority. 

Hulwa is a heavily traditionalist nation, with 40% of its population maintaining a nomadic or semi-nomadic way of life and the rest maintaining a stubborn, and perhaps sometimes even counterproductive, resistance to fully adopting the trappings of industrial society. Despite this the slow march of modernization has not halted, and the capital of Ewojad especially continues to grow and approach prosperity.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: 
Hulwa is largely a fictional constructed culture, although it is greatly inspired by the cultures of Imperial China, the Eurasian Steppe, and Western Africa. In this particular instance, the inspiration for the environment is the Pampas region of Argentina and the Great Plains of North America. 

The language used is likewise a fictional construction, although not a full blown conlang and you can thus expect little to no charts or documentation from me about it.

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

Vaishnavaria is a socialist democratic nation that has just gotten back from an extremely bloody 14 year civil war between multiple rival factions and groups with the former central government eventually reuniting the country. 9 years post civil war the nation through tremendous strides has managed to return to 80 percent like the pre war economy with industries and innovation is starting to spark again through scientific advancements finally being funded. The military after years of fighting and excessive prioritization has actually seen massive growth and innovation although spending has been slashed over the years and the scars of war still can be shown through high rates of PTSD and defections. The economy has managed to be rebuilt semi-quickly through a rebuilding of the massive oil reserves and rare earth materials (specifically ore and Neodymium though the mines have discovered different diversified resources) and Vaishnavaria has engaged in simple peaceful trade of resources, resarch and ideas through the international market aiming to educate its youth. Vaishnavaria has extremely strict gun laws with strict identification and rigorous testing for a national license alongside with extensive background checks and tests. The number of guns sold to civilians are also capped each year and strictly enforced. Vaishnavaria is polytheistic with a following of Vaishism and a divine respect of nature.
