Alleria

Alleria is a country feuled solely by economy. Each year, a new country leader is chosen, but they all run the country in the past leaders footsteps, a sort of tradition established. Each month, a festival is held in a city neighboring the capital, Jeanera, built two hundred years ago solely for the hosting of the country's monthly festival. As a country built on strict traditions upheld by their people and leaders alike.

There has been no established flag, but the festival banners that are hung outside homes and carried by Captains of the Dyne, is commonly referred to as such by outsiders. It is a purple banner with a white outline. The purple represents the nation's tradition and the white, represents the Dyne for their daily sacrifice.

The Dyne is the nation's military. They get little sleep as their purpose is to follow any order given by the nation's leader, protect the festival and hold pride within themselves.

The people see the leader as a given god, the set rule as their only 'faith.'

Cities:
Terranora - Capital, home to 5kk. Residence of Leader
Jeanna - Featival/Holy Ground, 10k
Yguoi - Home to the Bazaars, 15kk
Fai - Dyne HQ, 200k
Asra and Isri - Twin ports along the top peninsula, 600k~

Leader:
Karas Rei (Newly Elected)

Language:

(sorry, did all that on a phone),

Politics/History/Stuff: Thenopia is a secularizing Democratic-Republic that elects its Prime Minister on a basis of an Electoral College. There are 215 Representatives distributed among the states, each representing about 116200 people. The current Prime Minister, Hordaxion of the Workers Party, is the first Atheist leader of the country, which used to be staunchly religious only decades before. The horrific actions of the Kingdom of Bruhna against Atheists and other non followers of their Theocracy exodus to Thenopia in ever increasing numbers, combined with a more educated population, led to Horde's stunning victory. Each state is led by its own legislature and Governors elected every 3 years.

The Workers Party has won the past previous 3 elections, thus allowing a Socialist economic model to grow roots and prosper immensely.

Demographics:
Religious Breakdown: 42% Atheist, 29% Agnostic, 13% Russian Orthodox, 10% Jewish 6% Milleniums

Education: 39% Postgraduate, 47% Some College, 14% High School

Economy: Thenopia's economy runs highly on Industrial Goods, Fishing, and technological innovation. Corporations are heavily taxed but remain in the country because of the high profit margins, even with high taxation. The rich pay the second in amount of taxes, the middle class paying a modest amount, and the poorest exempt from taxes. College tutition and Health Care are offered free to citizens of the state. Most enter the workforce anywhere from ages 17-26 and remain until at least 65, where they are then able to tap into Government funds or their own private accounts. Thenopia's radical lurch to left economics has created a massive surplus that Thenopia is enjoying, almost having completly removing the debt of the former right based economics Buisness Party.

Military: Thenopia has 120,000 troops ready to move, 75,000 serving as a Nation Guard divided among the states, 20,000 in the Navy, 30,000 in Military-Trained Police, and 205,000 troops in reserve, swaping out troops in the other divisions every 4 years.

Alright, to add on to what I have said earlier:
History:
In the Beginning, the great God "Millennium Army" created the world with a snap of his fingers. It happened in 0.00001 milliseconds. Irrefutable proof of this can be found in Bruhna's State-of-the-art museum. As soon as the dinosaurs died out, "Millennium Army" decided that it was time to bring quality people to this land. And so he created people.

However, as time progressed, people have forgotten who their creator was. People have started becoming too evil and forgot what the purpose of their existence was. Only a few remembered, and these people were known as the Bruhnans. The Bruhnans live everyday worshipping Millennium Army and everyday they carry out his orders. To fulfill their duties, they must live lives as evangelists and spread the violent but rewarding words of the great Millennium Army. Whoever converts will have their lives spared, but whoever refuses are slain on the spot.

Years have passed, and the Bruhnans have been quite hard working people. They have faced hardships when a group of people now referred to as the Thenopians, who realized that they were not good enough to be Bruhnans, tried to protest in front of every Millennium Army temple. However, their attempts were thwarted and the people were forced to leave. Defeated, the Thenopians went off and formed their own country. Relations have never been good between the two, but by God's vengeance the Bruhnans will have a promising future.

Demographs:
Ethnicity: 90% Bruhnan, 10% other Gender: 50% Male, 49% Felame, 1% I-have-no-fucking-idea
Religion: 90% Bruhnan, 10% other Education: 50% Postgraduate, 30% some college, 20% High School

Military:
Military is a volunteer basis. The God Millennium Army will call out to his people when the time comes and they will answer.

Let's just see how this goes out first. And besides, this is the first game. The game will play out every week (Until all actions are acceptable, each week can be short), which each week represents a month. The date will clearly begin in June 1806.

I am getting pissed by how UnholyUrine and Dark_Marine are both inactive.

By the way, Krayzee, did you never hear the four-color law? You can color any map using just four colors . Sorry, just remembered about it and HAD to say something.

Also, do you have a map that extends further right so I can make a map of my nation? I really don't want it to abruptly end as it does currently.
They defended themselves, they didn't defeat them. I want to defeat them, not defend myself. At least the nasty ones.

Kievan Rus

Flag

Economic Policy
Corporations, both internal and foreign have access to the public, leading to a general capitalistic policy. However, the Kievan Rus government has a very large economic sector that dominates the market in arms, medicine, food (buys from farmers at appropriate prices) and all other necessities inside the country. Additionally, the Kievan Rus government reserves the right to interfere with foreign companies wishing to do business inside, up to the extreme of forcibly evicting/attacking/taking them over. This has never happened yet.

Kievan Rus controls the largest reserves of Oil in Europe, being the sole country bordering the Caspian Sea. Main exports are grain, arms, and experience - Vladikavkaz instructors are often sent to train foreign armies for a rather expensive fee. Additionally, Kievan Rus was a pioneer in metals and maintains one of the largest steel producers in Europe, the state-controlled giant Rustal.

The state maintains an extensive tariff system which is used to protect domestic industries. Tariff rates vary from product to product.

The official currency of Kievan Rus is the Ruble, which is equal to 500 monies (which every minor country starts with 1000,000,000 of).
Political System
President of Kievan Rus is referred to as the 'Czar' (lul). He is elected by the Duma (parliament), which selects its own members while the overall approval rating is above 50% and who are publicly elected when otherwise. Parliamentary officials can be dismissed if less then 2/3 of the parliament supports them and the Czar wants them gone. Local officials are elected, but the Czar can overrule any election. Courts are closely associated with the state.

Social Programs
Pension is given after the age of 65, give yearly equal to the money you've accumulated and given back to the financial system (by spending it) since birth divided by seventy-five. Public education is free, emphasis put on mathematics, engineering (which is a mandatory class by the age of fifteen) and the sciences. All citizens are guaranteed free health care.

There are three state-controlled universities and other smaller private ones. The three state-controlled ones are 'Kievan State University', 'Valedis University' and 'Vladikavkaz Academy'. The first two are general technical universities with small humanitarian programs, while Vladikavkaz is widely considered to be one of the best military schools on the continent. It owns several of each common war utility for training and advanced tactics classes. Not one graduate from Vladikavkaz has retired with a rank of less then junior officer or the equivalent in other military disciplines. Entry is highly competitive to the state universities, and testing is done to allow the best to enter with no regard to financial status, though families with higher-then-average income are asked to pay a part of the total bill.

A large part of Kievan Rus is used for agriculture, and in order to not let the food supply detract from other areas, prisoners of war are often forced to work on these farms while they learn to speak Russian, at which point they are freed to be constructive in Kievan Rus society (though not allowed to return except under special circumstances). Otherwise, Kievan Rus boasts the usual agricultural workings: farmers on plantations.

Major Cities
Kievan - Capital of Kievan Rus. This is the ruling center, where almost all governing decision-making is done. Home of the 'Kievan State University'. Population of 1.4 million.
Vladikavkaz - Name means "Ruler of the Caucasus". Gigantic city is very heavily fortified. It's maintained by the military, and houses the military industrial plants of Kievan Rus as well as the Port and Shipbuilding facilities. A major center of trade because of it's strategic location as the only Kievan Rus city with access to the Mediterranean. Maintains the most expansive underground transportation network on the continent. Home of the 'Vladikavkaz University'. Population of 2.7 million.
Kirillivan - A large city located near the Caspian Sea, this is the center of trade with Kievan Rus's eastern neighbors. Population of .6 million.
Vladigrad - A city located in close proximity with Kievan Rus's farming sector, this city houses the agricultural sector of the government. Population of .2 million.

Demographics
Population: 7,530,284
Sex: 53% Male, 47% Female
Religion: 47% Russian Orthodox, 39% Atheist, 12% Muslim, 2% Other.
Ethnicity: 82% Russian, 4% Georgian, 3% Armenian, 3% Ossetian, 4% German, 4% Other

History
After successfully breaking off from an ailing Russian Empire in 1773, Kievan Rus was rapidly led by Czar Vladislav to modernization. Kievan Rus was put in major debt by its infrastructural and military development, but was able to pay most of it back through rather heavy taxation through development. German mathematicians, technicians and scientists were paid small fortunes to modernize the Kievan Rus education system.

Foreign Relations
Kievan Rus maintains close relations to the Russian Empire. Additionally, it's an ally of Turkey and Italy, and has made diplomatic overtures to the United States of America. Close ideological allies include Norway, Poland and the Ukraine. Serbia is considered a strategic ally, and with the Kievan Rus military starting to blossom, expansionist thoughts are becoming the norm.

In response to Cent's post; isn't this Eporue, rather than Europe? We're basically blowing history out the window by patching it together out of our own countries, so Turkey/Italy/the US/etc. may not actually exist here. Just saying.

History

Frontenac was settled long ago, and has experienced great economic tributes from its southern trade ally of Lingtopia. With the recent turmoils and the ongoing industrial revolution, the country is racing again'st it's neighbours to gain production supremecy. For the time being, it has established itself as a well rounded economic base, with a fairly decent military unit.


Political Status

Once it was an Empire, lead by Emperor Gerade and his wise council. With the Emperor's death in 1792, the country began realizing that their need for change had come. The outlying countries were under dictactorships, and for once, the people sought to be independant. It was now that the Democratic Party of Frontenac was created. The opposing side, hoping to incorporate the previous senate introduced the Federal Republic of Frontenac. The DPF held on to leadership status until 1798, when leader Archonas was executed for high treason in the form of high dealing and rankings with and in the mafia. The FRF has since held its leadership status in the senate.

Elections are held every six (6) years, or whenever 75% of the country dislikes the President.
The President may eject any member of the Senate if at least 60% of the Senate agrees.
The President may eject any member of his own council if he chooses so, but this is often frowned upon by the citizens.
Currently in Power: Federal Republic of Frontenac, Three (3) Years.

Military

Although Frontenac is a peaceful country, it maintains an army personelle upkeep of just under 75,000.
Frontenac is known for the Frontenien Navy, and its Elite Core of soldiers, the "Shield Eye".

The National Guard consists of 2,000 personelle, all trained rigorously in a 2 year program.
750 personelle serve as Border Guards, securing the country from external threats.
Naval Forces assume 60%, or 45,000 servicemen. The Navy is considered the best of the Frontenien Military program, and one of the best Naval Forces on the continent.
The remaining forces are split again'st Military Trained Riot Police, Special Tacticts Forces and various Grenadier and Battery divisions.
The Shield Eye takes members from every division and trains them as advanced soldiers with experimental weaponry. Their latest creation has been the Grenadier Rifle, and the "Fasvance" Tactict.

Under new preparations, Major Clinte Forswin has established a new program of aviation. He is seeking some financial aid from the Corbonians to fund his development of what he dreams of... a flying machine...

All my allies shown on the map correspond with my stated allies in Europe, and those outside are assumed to be the same as normal.

Äug
Government:
Äug is a socialist country, ruled by Chancellor-for-life Doodle. The Chancellor has the last word on everything. There is no public dissent in the country, those who attempt such are dissapeared.
Economics:: Äug is not a communist country, it has some economic freedom, but tax rates are ludicrous, so personal wealth is rare. Most of the population works for the government, or for a nationalized company. In Äug, large businesses are outlawed, once a business becomes large, it will be forcefully nationalized. Äug has a favorable coastline with many natural harbors and a temperate climate, so it is a minor trading nation.
Military:
Military service in Äug is mandatory. Men and women from are required to spend at least two years in the military between ages 16 and 22. In times of conflict, drafts will occur.

Outside of Eporue has yet to be discovered. No one is allied to anything outside of Eporue or have any additional land (But a small portion) outside of Eporue. Legend say that anyone ever sets foot, boat, or balloon (Sorry guys, you didn't discover this yet) or anything on outside Eporue will face either the Aisans or the Acirfans and is absolutely questionable.

BS. I trade with Iran.

They are all fictional and you have yet to discover them.

Foreign Relations
Celestia has kept close relations with Kievan Rus and Asysteria and keeps a close eye on the bordering country of Corbonia.

They're on the other side of the rather small Caspain Sea. For me to not know of them is pretty sad . I won't factor in the trade to appease you, though. Damn commies!

That is as far as it can go. Especially for balance issues.

Updated flag for new colors, smoothness and reach of crossbars. Enjoy, Kievan Russians!
From

To

History 'n' shit: Tiras was formerly a barony of a larger kingdom. However, due to religious persecution, over-taxation, and otherwise general jackassery of the former monarchy, Tiras and a few smaller provinces eventually declared independence from the monarchy, forming an alliance with the intent of becoming their own nation.

This pissed the King right off.

The ensuing war lasted for around 20 years, and though most of it's allies were crushed, Tiras, Elos, and Arun claimed victory, and the old kingdom was royally pwnt, eventually collapsing from this and other problems. As the last major battle ended and his father died of his wounds, now-Baron Daelan Tiras II has been charged with modernizing what expanded to become the Republic of Davor.

Political: Since becoming another tyrannical monarchy was basically the last thing they wanted, Davor become a constitutional republic with 85 people-elected (excluding the Baron) represenatives spread across the three states. The Baron, despite retaining his title, functions as a sort of hereditary president. However, the Baron may be ousted if the overwhelming majority (~80%) dislike him, at which point a new one is elected. Similarly, the Baron can depose a member of the Senate if the vast majority of the Senate agrees.

As the Baron's an agnostic, like his father, and the nation has been largely disillusioned by the opression of the former Church, religious influence in the Republic is at an all time low, with most of the nation being athiest or agnostic. However, minorities of other religions still exist within the nation, and thus freedom of religion is a constitutional right within the nation's borders.

Economy: Capitalist. The government tries to provide all citizens with opportunities, and pays fairly on the open market. Taxation is mild to moderate.

Cities(totally ripping off viet's format here):

Capital: Tiras; Population: About 1,600,000. Oh, and a little to the north-east, please.
-Hosts the University of Davor, and is the political and scientific center of the nation.
-Also hosts the Baron's castle, a polygonal fortress designed to withstand siege weapons.

Largest City: Arun; Population: About 2,000,000; the economic center of Davor enjoys trade with Doodania and Kievan Rus.
Major Exports: Wood, Stone, Precious Metals
Major Imports: Steel, TBA

Other Major Cities:

Elos; Population: About 1,200,000
-The agricultural center of the nation.
-The training center for Davor's light cavalry and fearsome Bear Cavalry troops.
-Home to nearby Fort Parth

Dimos; Population: About 1,850,000
-The mountain city of Dimos is home to the nation's largest industries; lumberjacking and mining.

Rhus; Population: About 850,000
-This fortress city trains and barracks most of Davor's military forces.


Military: Davor maintains a military force of around 75,000. Being a landlocked nation, they have no navy to speak of, save for fishing and trade vessels on the rivers that lace the country. However, they have a sturdy and robust infantry force, a smallish division of light cavalry, and the Davor Bear Cavalry Corps; tougher than horses, much more capable of ripping your face and limbs off, and strong enough to carry two (or in rare cases, three) soldiers, but somewhat slower than conventional horse cavalry. However, they're perfect for fighting in their homeland, where much of the land is forested and maneuverability of faster units is limited. Siege weapons are used primarily for defense, but most armies bring along some cannons for battering fortifications.

Military research is investigating rocket and balloon technologies.

Foreign affairs: Davor tries to maintain a close relationship with Doodania and Kievan Rus, it's two closest neighbors. Other than that, it has little outside contact, as it's northern mountains effectively block off lands to the north and east.

I think that's everything. Also, flag/map to come when I draw them up!
