Posted Image Main article: Nation of Eleytheria-Duo. Eleytheria-Duo, officially the Federal Republic of Eleytheria-Duo or Ripulak Akavar-Inukti, is a country located in upper North America. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Vikings and Kasnyian Greenland to the east (in Greenland,) Kasnyian Pacifica and Great New France to its south, and several anarchic states to its west, as well as the United States beyond them. The country is currently occupied by the military forces of the World Military Dominion, and of the forces of Socialist Eleytheria. Despite this, the Federal Government has managed to flee the country into Kasnyian Pacifica and Kasnyian Scandinavia, as well as St. Petersburg (Russia,) where it currently maintains its European Center of Command. Several attempts have been made to liberate the country, but none have yet succeeded. Several of its remaining military forces are located in Kasnyian Pacifica, Ellesmere Island (Northernmost Isle of Eleytheria-Duo) as well as in allied nations within Europe. Severely crippled after losing the Second Civil war, it currently fields two dozen aircraft and only a single submarine. Kevin Lowas is the current acting President of the remaining loyalists, in the absence of Elected-President, Catherine Nerdinskaya. **** Posted Image For more information, see: Russian Forum Page NSwiki Page Russia, officially known as the Constitutional Empire of Russia, is a country located in eastern Europe.. It is bordered by the Gulf of Finland and Quaon to the west, Draxis to the south, Yshurak to the North, and several anarchic states within the Siberian region. The country is currently engulfed in a bitter civil war stemming from Russia's surrender in the Georgian War. Tsar Paul Romanov II was usurped by Prince Felix Yusupov who, using the Romanov heir Tsesarevich Alexei Paulovich Romanov II as political legitimacy, has effectively become the Russian regent. However, Tsar Paul is leading loyalist forces against the usurper Yusupov with the help of their allies the Drax. Tsar Paul is determined to not only rescue his son but also his nation from the ruthless Yusupov. Until Romanov power is restore in Moscow, the Romanov royal family along with other key loyalist are in exile in the Russian colony of Hispania Ulterior. **** Posted Image The Republic of Huesca is the successor state of Romano's Spain, the only time in history that the entire Spanish nation had been united as one. Following the Spanish Civil War during the time of the World Military Dominion, the Falangist regime was forced into present-day Huesca, where it managed to maintain its regime using WMD military equipment, and ancient fortifications. It declared independence, alongside all the other Iberian microstates, in 1994, and this was formally recognized on October 2nd, at the Zaragoza Conference (though the government celebrates independence on September 22nd, the day of the declaration). The republic is avowedly anti-Roman, blaming the Roman Empire for the break-up of Spain, and Hannibal Vlachos, former King and current Exarch, for launching the coup against the Falangist government that triggered the conflict. Huesca is positioned alongside many superpowers, and this is reflected in its foreign policy. The government maintains a strict policy of armed neutrality, and maintains the largest per capita military force in the world. It also has the largest nuclear weapon per capita ratio, among other defense structures, making Huesca a formidable nation. Indeed, it has often been criticized as an army with a state, and this is, to a degree, true, considering its nature as a remnant of an old militarist regime. Huesca remains a formidable force in Iberian affairs, though less so than its two major rivals - the Romans and the Hapsburgs. It is currently led by Antonio Alaca-Galiano, governor of Huesca during the Spanish regime in the early 1970's and into the 1980's, and first President of the small republic, post-war. He has been re-elected to office twice since 1994, in 2000, and 2006. **** Posted Image For more information, please refer to: Porcu Description Page The Republic of Porcu is a small but economically powerful nation located in the region of Scandinavia in Europe. Bordered by Imperial Kasnyian Scandinavia to the South-West, several anarchic states to the North and the Baltic Sea to the East Porcu is tucked away in Europe and only within the past fifteen years has it diverted from its isolationist ways. Though not maintaining a large army, by the standards of the armies of Continental Europe, Porcu prides itself in its well-trained and highly skilled security forces. After the fall of the Belgian monarchy the populace decided in a national referendum to join the Republic of Porcu, though another referendum is due soon to see whether Belgium's annexation should continue. Considered to have been the longest standing republic in the world, with the First Republic being founded in 903 AD, Porcu has also established itself as a banking and technological center for Europe and the world, its banks being famous (or infamous depending on who you talk to) for their tradition of maintaining absolute confidentiality between the client and themselves. Currently ruled over by a mostly benevolent dictator Porcu actively seeks to expand its borders and increase its influence and prestige throughout Scandinavia and Continental Europe... **** Posted Image History The German Empire is a newly founded nation that traces its roots back to the German Empire of Charlemagne, otherwise known as the Holy Roman Empire. After tje defeat of this empire at the hands of the Pope and the downfall of the house of Hohenstaufen, Germany was plunged into the dark ages. However, in 1871 the Empire was reborn with the crowning of Kaiser Wilhelm I, a man of determination who was aided by the nationalist Otto Von Bismarck. Wilhelm and his successors worked to reform so that the working man might live a worthwhile life as well as to discourage immoral practices by the French and the church as well as introducing the Criminal Code of 1871 and the court system establishment of 1877. By uniting the 39 independent states Wilhelm gave rebirth to what was at one time the most powerful nation in the world. Perhaps his biggest accomplishment was to create the Common Civil Codes, implemented in 1900 and still used today as a model for many up and coming industrial nations. After the downfall of the Soviet Union USSR Alumni sprang forth, a totalitarian government that dominated the area through the use of martial law. A German nationalist named Hermann Friedrich Weisergung seized control of the government of USSR Alumni under the assumed name of Vasseli Romonov, gaining prestige and promotion as he worked his way towards becoming the Grand Marshal of USSR Alumni. After holding power for some time Vasseli declared USSR Alumni the true Third Reich and was crowned Kaiser Wilhelm III, King of Prussia and Lord of the East. Pertinent Information Government Run Organizations: The Legion of Youth(young men trained to lead others and love their nation), Die Starken Männer (the strong men, a militaristic group of young men trained to fight and execute special operations), Unsere Damen der Jugend(Our Ladies of Youth, an organization dedicated to the education of women for military service and for industrial work such as steel working) National Holidays: October 10th Unity Day, Emperor's birthday presently June 12th, Freedom Day July 22nd Voting: All men and women over the age of 17 are allowed to vote on the election of minor government and local officials. The Kaiser appoints all Ministers and advisors. Voting will be held for the same group of people when a congrees is put in place. Military Service: All male citizens are required to serve from the ages of 17-22, females from the ages of 19-21. After this service a citizen is an active reserve until the age of 55, when they are honorably discharged from the military. Der Welt die Größte Nation: A group that works to instill national pride within all citizens, it is required by the government that all citizens spend at least 6 months in the program twice in their lifetime. The program sends them to work on the countryside or in different regions of the nation so that they might witness firsthand the wonders of the country. **** Posted Image Al Qalaa is an autonomous province in the Caliphate of Paradise, containing the current economic and political capital of that country, Al Qalaa City. Though small in territory, its petroleum deposits, (former) industrial capacity, and brisk maritime trade make it a very wealthy state. It is bordered by Scythirus to the east, Paradisian Arabia to the south, the Persian Gulf to the southeast and no-mans-lands to the west and north. Its position between the two superpowers of Asia, Paradise and the World Military Dominion has played a key role in recent history. Upon seceding from the Caliphate, Al Qalaa struggled to find allies in the world, eventually finding them in Romanov Russia and, ironically, Scythirus. The state continued its policy of forging alliances with all of its neighbors, particularly its now-closest ally Ulgania, even forging an eventual reconciliation with Paradise. Eventually, however, Al Qalaa was forced to choose a side as the Dominion invasion of Asia began. It tried to join other states opposed to the WMD in the ill-fated Baghdad Pact, but was eventually forced to rejoin Paradise to fight against the Dominion. Now Paradise lies broken, and what's left of the mighty Dominion army occupies Al Qalaa City, rebuilding it as a factory to churn out its machines of war. The Qalaa'i quietly submit or risk harsh punishment, though resistance movements are starting to blossom. **** Posted Image **** Posted Image **** Posted Image **** Posted Image The various tribes that made up the South of Africa, just outside the influence of the former Holy Catholic Hegemony banded together, through the act of covenant to build a government which held sovereignty between all those within the tribes. Bound together by the wish to enter a new age, the new republic was established long enough to see a golden age of economics and international political progress. Once international struggles sidelined the republic's idealistic foreign policy, a fissiporous divide opened between radical Catholics returning from a war in Menhad. Wishing to gain greater representation and to end the conceived oppression of their faith, they were initially ordered to be sent to the most dangerous areas of the war in Menhad, but the government's mistake of sending radical Catholics into such a war proved devastating, and their return caused a civil war. The onslaught created a schism in the Catholic faith, forcing the Hegemony to the South to invade and suppress the rebellion. The following invasion caused a new, revolutionary government to sweep in and take control. Once power was more easily confirmed, the republican ideal was replaced by a centristic one. While the government holds little control in the economy, it has adopted neo-colonial policies that have resulted in other, more chaotic areas in Africa to fall under its control. For the time that these areas have been under Ulganian control they have flourished. The more recent, extremely devastating war with the World Military Dominion has strained Ulgania, and its holdings; it has fought bravely, but strained resources have forced it enter a more structured rebuilding program. **** Posted Image **** Posted Image Edited by Nag Ehgoeg, Aug 19 2009, 02:42 PM.

Ok, as must be immediately obvious, I accidently the whole Encyclopędia of Nations thread. While you can undo post deletions, you can't undo deleting a thread. Sorry guys. Backed up all the info though - even preserved and fixed most of the links. Once more, sorry. This is the kind of newb mistake that do not expect our mods to make. I blame Zetaboards. |

I think I asked before, but I can't remember. I also couldn't find the discussion thread, so I'll just ask here. Will this project ever be picked up again? |
