New Galasia has finally split in two countries.

The western side of New Galasia has been renamed as "Kingdom of Drazen". Unless the Directorate says otherwise, the Kingdom of Drazen should become a NPC.

The eastern region, now an independent country, is named Rojadavistan. The main cities of Rojadavistan are:

• Sermîyan (capital city, somewhere in the middle of the country)
  
• Bakûrgûnd (city of Eastmarch, just renamed)
  
• Kevnajar (city of Nova Tairal, just renamed)
  
• Madavî (nearby Nova Tairal, but more inland)
  
• Basûr (a random city somewhere in the south, if adding a fifth one for such small country is okay)
  

The population of Drazen is: 17,690,466.

The population of Rojadavistan is: 9,897,529.

Those numbers are before the war, though. About 500,000 and 1 million would have died. And there was a large number of refugees which may return or not.

New Galasia GDP per capita before the war was $35,154. But the western side (Drazen now) was supposedly way richer than the east (Rojadavistan). The civil war mostly affected just the eastern region until 1584 (it started in 1579), although Angirisian invasion of the western region was probably more destructive and nationwide as a whole, I guess, even if shorter. Consider this when adjusting numbers.

I believe that should be all.

Nation name: Solis
Population: 5.89 Million
GDP per capita: 60,866.90

Location
(As the map does not have plots atm, gesture towards the region you'd like. The Cartographer will ensure its appropriately sized for its population and status.)

Cities: Applieon: Coastal
Archeon: Coastal
Silieon: Near the forest/towards more to the desert area if any (Capital)
Scion: Desert area
(List 3-8 names and location, eg., "coastal" or "along river, if possible"; please indicate the capital)

Brief description of your country The country of Solis, a seemingly 'perfect'country (In my head it is >_> ). Ruled under a constitutional monarchy, it's main focus would be the growth of their technology, military power as well as international relationships. As for culture there is some mythology of the Goddess Solaris, as well as many traditions and holidays celebrated under her cause, but as the country continues to innovate the old customs seem to be practiced less and less.

Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world The way I see Solis is probably like a Super Power? Their Military is something that the country would always back up and support. The country would also try to accept and trade goods with other countries. They are indeed a capitalist country and as for Diplomatic power the country would have delegates that will be able to hold their own in that department. (Is this okay or is this too cray cray)

Approved for 59m@48k.

Can Sainam be removed from the map please. I've lost interest in RPing the state.

Also...I would like Ceribia to be turned over to the Directorate and into an NPC.

So the Balochia crisis is mostly resolved and we have a rough outline of what we've decided privately. I've sent you the rough map that I doodled on my phone via discord. One of the primary reasons for this situation was to clear up that empty plot, remove an NPC, and pretty-fy the border, so we're content to let you decide what the border should be and then we'll post the closing posts re:how the borders were decided. Just make it look appealing, really, we'll make the IC work.

Harmajaa and Sev are splitting the land. the southern part of Balochia will join Sev, and the north Harmajaa. there will be a period of administration and transition that I plan to post about, at least for the Harmajaan side. I'll likely post a bit about how the southerners are adapting as well. The Harmajaan transition is going to be very awkward because there are a ton of saamo in balochia and administrating the new acquisition is going to be a huge drain on Harmajaa. My thoughts for the means of both sides absorbing balochia is via referendum, but we'll see.

How you determine the pop to be added is at your discretion. I believe I remember balochia had something like 5MM people in it I'm not sure where I heard that. There were way more Saamo than Balochs as well, but some on both sides have died. I am unsure how much exactly. Regardless of how the borders turn out, both ethnic groups are going to have a short period to get on "their side" once and for all. My ballpark all along had been 3.5MM saamo and 1.5MM balochs... so maybe 3 and 1 now plus change? maybe 3.3MM saamo and 1.3MM balochs? idk.

Let me know your thoughts. I plan to have some serious upheaval after all these new Saamo join Harmajaa.

Old stats:
001,552,971 @ $ 25,523.54 for $ 0,039,637,311,488.00 / 0,062,075.44 km² (2497 px), Harmjaaa
123,375,362 @ $ 29,171.46 for $ 3,599,039,201,280.00 / 4,272,863.57 km² (171877 px), Severyane
004,825,205 @ $ MEEEEEH for $ MEEEEEEEEEEHHHH / 0,278,208.35 km² (11191 px), Balochia

Heavy fighting lasted for only 6 months and there was genocide-stuff. Though winters are really, really bad, most of the fighting took place in the spring and summer, so I suppose the refugees didn't freeze to death during the rout. I reckon the Vostic peoples returned with/after the Severyanians, so let's say Balochia only lost up to 200k. That's 4.6m to throw around. You imply heavy segregation and 3:7 ethnic ratio, so...yes, 3.3m Saamo and 1.3m Vostics. Are you sure Harmjaa can effectively integrate a population twice its size AND invade someone?

3.3m @ 8k: 26.4b; 1.3m * 18k: 23.4b.
New stats:
004,640,543 @ $ 14,310.40 for $ 0,066,408,026,112.00 / 169,943.01 km² (6836 px), Harmjaa
124,675,362 @ $ 29,054.97 for $ 3,622,438,961,152.00 / 6,303,951.06 km² (253578 px), Severyane

You may notice that Severyane's area grew waaaayyyyyyy too much. This is because Severyane's old area was wrong. Fuck knows how, but it was. Severyane's real old area was 246810 pixels.

Deckard says he's occupying Drazen. So what's up with that?

It has (already / only) been three years since the end of the war. If he says so, it may be true.

Brief description of your country

The Drubang Confederacy is a diverse nation of many peoples, united by a strong central government. Risen from the ashes of the Tobongi Empire, the Drubang Confederacy was united in the very late 1400s by a strong revolutionary leader, Ante Mokorno. After the Tobongi Empire collapsed, he united several of the former provinces into a new state, the Drubang Confederacy. Initially, the expectation was democratic rule, but it soon became clear Mokorno would serve as president for life, as per the new constitution that was drafted following the establishment of the confederacy. Mokorno was a staunch anti communist, and communist and socialist elements were killed en masse in the early Confederacy. Mokorno died several decades later, and his son, Heda Mokorno, was elected as the next president. He was elected in 1538 and is still alive, though he is very old and will probably die or resign in a short while. He is nearly childless, as all his children have died before him. His only child is his daughter Rua. She is expected to run for election, but it is unknown whether or not a woman could win.

The Drubang Confederacy is made up of many peoples and cultures, but they fit into four main groups. The Latang peoples live on the islands in the west of the country (known as the Latangai Archipelago) though they are lumped together, there are in fact hundreds of different dialects on the islands and nearly every village has some variation of the basic Latangai culture and customs. The big cities are dirty and crowded but natural resources are rich in the jungles of the Letang. The Letang are roughly based on the Melanesian peoples.

On the mainland of Ostara is Kalimantra, or the main country. The Kalimantran are the dominant ethnic and cultural group, but as with the Letang there are dozens of subgroups as well, particularly in the western portion, where desert nomads still thrive. These nomads are a distinct culture and ethnic group, but I havent fleshed them out at all yet. Kalimantra is the host of the capital, Ka Drubang, which was built parallel to the largest city in the Confederacy, Muala Lampung. The Kalimantrans dont have a direct relation irl, but blend indonesia, south-east asia, and indian concepts. Something else of note, the city of Huakarta is semi-autonomous, and is a trade and tech hub, tax haven, etc.

The eastern islands are in two portions, the north is the Heiwan Archipelago, where people who are roughly related to the Kazemurans (need opinions from ikarman) are located. I'll be approaching him to go over the relation and what that means, etc. East asian, japanese, etc. is the rough irl parallel, but i dont want to loljapanclone so much.

The southeast islands are the northernmost portions of the Bahaan Islands. These are somewhat phillipines like, as these islands had significant western influence through their history. The Bahaan Islands joined the Drubang Confederacy following a brief independence war from some western nation, and so are the oddballs in the group. Some western influence still exists, and they are a portion of a greater cultural group that I have not named yet in the islands to their south. I've went on quite a bit, but I could flesh all of this out more if you'd like.

Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world:

I have a lot of options here, really. I could get involved in the usual expansions and such, but I also have an archaic dictatorship that is ripe for revolution (communist anyone???) With all the ethnic groups and cultural groups, this is a nation united by a strong military and central govt, but poverty persists everywhere in the country, more or less... especially in Latangai and Kalimantra. This too will be something that will have to be addressed in time. Are there other remnants of the Tobongi Empire? probably, but I havent named them or thought much about them. Somewhere south there's probably Tobong, but we dont have to plot it yet.

This state isnt inherently opposed to a place like Kazemura. Initially I wanted it to, and it probably would have national security concerns with a powerful Kazemura, but it doesnt have to come to blows necessarily. A little competition would be interesting, though.

This is a pretty complicated state, and one thats alien to most of my others, so I'm pretty interested in it. Re: size, population, etc. Just rough ideas. Feel free to swat it, bigger it, or smallify if you want, I don't mind. Let me know your thoughts <3
