Hey didn't Wadiyah get split in two? Carp?

Unno. I didn't see anything about it in this thread, soooooo.

I have registered last night the proposed statistics for Drausany to the statistics page as requested.

[Ayzek]

Nation name: Eretzora
Population: 18,000,000 - 25,000,000
GDP per capita: $35,000 - 40,000

Location
West coast of the westernmost continent,  to the east of the islands owned by Arren.

Cities:
Ayalon (capital, inland)
Katzilya (close to Kiryat Shlosha)
Kiryat Shlosha (on the coast, warm location)
Adora (coast, to north of Kiryat Shlosha)
Tel Darom (coast, south)

Brief description of your country
A federal republic with universal suffrage, Eretzora was a former Goldecian colony, formed to house Goldecia's Alsterenist population. Today only 40% of the population are descendants of the original Goldecian Alsterenist settlers, with the remaining having origins from other Alsterenist communities around the world. Alsterenism will be a minor branch of Akhadism, though many dispute its connection, instead believing it to be a distinct religion in its own right. Today, most Eretzorans are not very religious, and the country is heading towards complete secularism. There is still a strong connection to Alsterenism, though, but it is mostly cultural as opposed to religious these days.  (Think Judaism and how many atheists still identify as Jewish).

Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world
Moderate power.

Approved for 24m@31k, with the ex-Severyanne satellite background, as opposed to the former Goldecian colony one. With that in mind, lets keep in mind that refugees don't generally become the majority, or even a large minority.

Nation name: The Union of Drausany
Population: apx. 37,500,000
GDP per capita: 39,000

Location

Cities:
Capital and largest city: Losarberg (marked as yellow on the map)
- Kappersberg

- Wutschendorf
- Kragau
- Alferberg
- Tullau

Brief description of your country
This country's culture is based on the Lower German culture. More specifically, around Westphalia and Holstein. However, low German culture is just its base. Danish and Dutch culture has a significant part in this culture. For example, the standardized version of the language this country speak is a mixture between low German and Danish. The country is a collection of 2 federations and 4 republics united under a federal government. The country's system of governance operate similar to that of Yugoslavia in the sense of its Federalism. Some would argue though that Drausany is a confederation more than anything.

Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world
Despite Drausany having a somewhat weak Federal Government, they have not been afraid to take sides in conflicts in the past. Drausany has never been in its history rogue towards other nations, but it has been distrustful towards others more often than not. As a fully developed country, it has the fullest capabilities economically and militarily.

Drausany's political interests is to become the most influential economic power in the northern parts of the Siora. Even if Drausany does not play a huge military role in conflicts, they will do their best to play a large diplomatic and possibly economic one. Drausany realizes it is not a great power, but nevertheless it will continue to strive to be one in the coming years...

Approved for 48m@41k. While your country is certainly economically powerful, bear in mind it's not /the/ most powerful.

Nation name: The Solhaven Confederacy (short name: Solhaven)
Population: 42,083,842
GDP per capita: $40,500

Location


Cities:
See the Map; Hyperion is the Confederate capital and the largest city.

Brief description of your country
Solhaven is a collection of largely autonomous city-states in northeastern Kvaenna. Each city-state largely controls its own domestic policies but all foreign policy control is sent off to the Confederate Representative Council, the ruling body of the entire country made up of representatives from each city-state that meet in the capital city of Hyperion. Each city-state controls its own local police forces and militias but a larger combined Confederate military is equipped to deal with threats to all of the nine city-states.

Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world
Solhaven is largely neutral, with no real significant slant one way or the other. This would make it a fair diplomatic power. Its military strength is enough to defend itself from invaders if need be, but the Confederacy would be loath to use it. Economically, it's not much stronger than most of its neighbors and freely trades with just about anyone.

Nation name: The Meritocracy of Silvanias (Silvanias for short)
Population: 42 mil
GDP per capita: 43,000

Location
That plot to the east of Angiris that borders the lake.

Cities:
Capital - Granosti - bordering the lake somewhere
City 2 - Hirlas - towards the north on the left
City 3 - Locios - south but towards the lake
City 4 - Agvasti - on the right-center and slightly towards the bottom
City 5 - Supramos - exactly in the middle of the territory

Brief description of your country
She has a strong government led by a Prime Minister (who is selected based on merit and the majority party), and with a 300 person Parliament. The Parliament is elected democratically, and the numbers are decided by how much percentage of the votes said party got. Each party, however, is given one representative unless they make up less than The ceremonial events are led by the Queen of Silvanias, but other than that, the Queen doesn’t have much power. The Prime Minister does most of the work. As for technology, Silvanias is average in that. It gets most of its technology from neighboring and faraway countries she has deals with.

Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world
Silvanias should be a diplomatic power. I’d also like her to be a trade/economic power, but she would be a rather weak defense power, as most of her funds are put elsewhere. Most wars won by her would be done with the alliances that her strong leaders make.

West of eretzora bordering Severyenna, Eretzora and Mazhaghea  covering the whole of the river basin and network into the lake. Country would have developed along the rivers systemt

Cities:
Mestofyodorov( south of bottom river junction)1,216,125

Mestoalekseev(Very north of the country on river junction at the north)
Mestopopov (East on river junction to river going into eretzora)
Mestovolkov(city on coast)

Brief description of your country
The country is a slightly socialist but very conservative religious republic. Likely of whatever faith is in the area. The country would be moving from communism to more democracy but with a very conservative tint. The country would be reembracing its old religion with a vengance after its atheist oppression period.Either that or after communism a new national conservative style of politics developed with one party rule in practise with a putin like figure only more anti-gay and ultra-conservative while opposition in reality have little chance of election with media, business and oligarchs supporting the government.

Nation name: Kingdom of Caparetta
Population: 63,450,100
GDP per capita: $31,120.00

Location
Somewhere in the area designated by the red circle. Nents has given his consent to remove Alstaria so that our nation may have access to the sea. Ideally it would border both the sea (from where Alstaria is now) to the Laurentian Kingdom, as this country contains large numbers of Geins and Laurentians.

Cities:
Turenne (capital) - at the meeting of the two forks of river 2
Erbenhaven - where river 1 empties into the sea
Maulens - between Turenne and the Alstaria border on river 2
Lambersville - somewhere in the south near-ish the border with the Laurentian Kingdom
Hildum - somewhere along the southern half of river 1

Brief description of your country
Caparetta is what some of the more haughty liberal nations would consider to be "politically backward" and "reactionary." Rather, Caparetta simply respects its traditions. A lot. Centuries of tradition, in addition to law, have made Caparetta the country that it is today.

The country is divided in three ways; by language and culture, by religion, and by class. There are simultaneous, and at the same time interconnected, power struggles between the Geins, Laurentians, and Aquitans; the commons, aristocracy, and royal family; and the Avalsyanist and Sentric faiths. These various groups have achieved a fragile balance of power. The current royal family was originally of Aquitan stock, but has interbreeded with the other noble families to such an extent that it doesn't much matter.

The parliament consists of two houses. The Chamber of the Commons is democratically elected by the people, with each representative being elected by his constituents according to electoral district. The Chamber of Royal Deputies consists of the aristocracy. The seats in this house are either inherited or elected by other aristocrats. Serving the function of the executive cabinet, the Royal Council plays a premier role in the governance of the kingdom. It has twelve members representing the various government departments, plus the Crown Prince. The seats of the Royal Council are filled either by the Chamber of the Commons, the Chamber of Royal Deputies, or by the king. The king, as tradition demands, does not meddle directly in the Royal Council, but instead is represented by the Crown Prince. Three seats are filled by the Commons, three by the king, and five by the Deputies, as allotted below:

Ministry of Defense - King
Ministry of Foreign Affairs - King
Ministry of Culture - King
Ministry of Mercantile Affairs - Deputies
Ministry of the Interior - Deputies
Ministry of Justice - Deputies
Ministry of the Treasury - Deputies
Ministry of Immigration - Deputies
Ministry of Agriculture - Commons
Ministry of the Curriculum - Commons
Ministry of Health and Human Services - Commons

In order to maintain themselves, the aristocratic families collect a small tax from their various constituencies and receive a pension from the state treasury. In addition, as tradition demands, capable persons of noble birth are often appointed to fill important positions within the government and military. Most aristocratic families also have investments in the business world, although they do not directly manage their business interests, as that is behavior unbecoming of a noble, and so those of the merchant class are contracted to manage such things.

Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world
Caparetta has ethnic ties to many of its neighbors, but because of its political backwardness and lack of liberal policies, it is somewhat isolated politically. The ruling classes routinely go abroad for education, pleasure, and business, however. It is unlikely to be very interventionist, and is only likely to intervene internationally when a situation directly involves it or its immediate neighbors.

We will be focusing mostly on internal RP at least initially.
