Well, since our group is growing so fast and I can't even keep track of who's coming and going, I decided to create this topic so I can get to know everyone. So to start, my nation is called the Democratic Republic of Waldmania. We are a Representative Democracy with a government similar to that of the United States. Our nation prides itself in it's Centrist ideology that allows everyone to have a say in the government, and tries to include the best of both worlds when it comes to making decisions.We are an Atlantic Ocean Nation, and we're a former American State. We achieved independence in 2003. Our President is Caesar Portman, and our Capital is New Peabody. My nation is a part of the future Atlantic Alliance, including Arkolon, The Jonathanian States and Phocidaea. So introduce yourself here too! Tell me a little about your nation and what you plan to do in Alt Earth/Embrace Realism. |

Well, the Atlantic Alliance isn't official yet, but still, it's more or less done. The Republic of Arkolon is a unitary republic with a bicameral legislature, which basically means we have a President, a Cabinet and two Houses of Parliament: the upper house (The Senate) and the lower house (the National Assembly). We were colonised as [The English Governorship of] Kenswick sometime in the 1500s, as no precise date was recorded, and William Movesword (Move -> Shake, Sword -> Spear[e]! Ha, my imagination is terrible) fought the War of Independence in 1701, which we won. The Kingdom of Arkolon carried on as a Federal Kingdom, with duchies acting like states do in today's US. The duchies fought each other a lot, which was kind of sad. The Kingdom of Arkolon lasted 122 years, when Richard III, alias Richard the Republican, commenced the Republic in 1823. Since then, 2 constitutional amendments were made, placing us in the IIIrd Democratic Era of Arkolon. Politically, Arkolon is rather diverse, but mainly right-wing Libertarian parties hog the majority of parliamentary seats. Since 1823, or since the dawn of the Conservative Party (which should actually be called the Libertarian Party, as Conservative gives the wrong ideas), Arkolon is quintessentially minarchist, practicing Nozick's idea of a minimal state, otherwise called a night-watchman state. Our population of 8,875,000 is rather small compared to other countries, but we still feel rather powerful

My nation is called the Republic of Graesrice. We are a Representative Democracy with a government that acts similarly to the old Roman Republic system. We are a Marxist nation, with tight regulation on trade and economics but an otherwise liberal and free government. Graesrice is located on the western edge of Great Britain, and has been there since Neolithic times. Population: 21 066 000 Area: 29 581.6 square miles Edited by Graesrice, Jul 12 2013, 07:48 AM.

Very Monarchistic nation. Slightly imperialistic,but only because this is OOC. Absolute monarchy,so in theory a one-man government. No real legislation,and the cabinet is formed,disbanded and changed by the emperor. Haven't exacly compiled the early history,but in WW1 it fought independently,in WW2 it fought as main fighter (of the western front,and as of now,as I don't know the history of the confeds,and the rest of the US is weaker than me). Has a few Oversea Territories. Which Include Gibraltar,malta, Did I forget anything? Yes,the nation might sometimes (try to) play world-cop. EDIT: Forgot to mention that,even though it is an absolute monarchy,there are cases in which the voice of the population is heard,for example joining WW1. EDIT2: As Ark reminded me (thanks ark),for an absolute monarchy,as I also hinted above,the people have many rights and freedoms. (Except to vote.Though nevertheless the jonathanian states are ranked higher on civil rights than arkolon )

Well. The federation of Ryuskenkai is officially a pairlamentary republic, but in fact is governed in authoritarian ways by junta, General President Sun Ki Yeong. He removed communists from power in 2005 and since then he rules the county. He is known to be carring for his people and is generally popular leader. However, a minority accuses him of undemocratical governance, which is true. County has a parilament but it may not do anything without Sun Ki Yeong' s agreement, and most members of it' s party - National Militarist Party - are military men. National militarism is right - wing ideology with emphasis of mild nationalism, mixed economy and military controll over government. |

The Yuktobanian Federation is a federal state composed of multiple republics, territories, and dependencies spread across the continents of Asia and Europe. These members were formerly part of the Eurasian Imperial Alliance, an Autocratic state formed from intermarriages between various royal families in Eastern Europe. This Imperial Alliance was then dethroned by Black November Revolutions, which gave rise to the Union of Yuktobanian Stratocratic Republics, this union eventually became a federation thanks to a change in leadership around the 70s. Yuktobania changed from a fascist corporatist economy to a market economy, taking advantage of the massive resources stored in the Siberian regions, the nation's economy has been quickly growing and recovering from the stagnant decades of the 1970 and 60s. The President of the Yuktobanian Federation and leader of the centrist party of United Yukes is Karyna Kasyanenkov, whom like her predecessors, continues to maintain the stable relations Yuktobania enjoys with her neighbors since the aggressive days of the UYSR. Due to the Yuktobanian state having spread across Europe and Asia through the conquest of the Eurasian Imperial Alliance, it holds a rather "diverse" population of a little over 422 million. The United Yukes party considers anyone born into any of its member republics or dependencies as "ethnic Yukes" as long as they are blood related to the people. |

The Unitary Commonwealth of Groko is a constitutional monarchy with a sociocratic governance system. A product of a very complex history, ancient philosophical thinking and modern realities, the Unitary Commonwealth owes much of its history to the former Byzantine Empire. Any citizen of the Commonwealth would proudly tell much of Groko. As one of the world's first, and possibly largest at the time, states to without an official state religion, the Commonwealth was born in the year 1453, when after years of siege warfare political events took a turn for the unexpected when several of the Byzantine Emperor's were lost during a battle for the city. The children, initially assumed dead, were found alive by the Turks and returned to Byzantium. Moved by the events, the Emperor called for peace, calling for an end to centuries of bloodshed and war. Byzantium, at this time, still controlled vast swaths of the Mediterranean, as well as large chunks of Anatolia, and in exchange for concessions on both sides a deal was made. Instability and revolt tore through both peoples upon news of the deal, and a period of civil war overcame the fledgling states. At its high, unable to bear the continued violence, a joint religious intervention of both influential Eastern Christian and Sunni clerics, was planned, and helped to pacify the region. In 1554, almost a hundred years after the treaty of Constantinople ended the sectarian warfare, both nations, beleaguered after years of Civil War, were combined into a continuous Commonwealth. Grokoans today, despite varying levels of religious prejudice, are still very proud of the balance their state achieved. "It took nearly 500 years", goes the saying, "but we Grokoans discovered the meaning of true peace". The Commonwealth is presided over by a monarch, the Sacred Protector of the Commonwealth, First Monarch Tiberius II. Legally, the First Monarch's office would be compared by many to that of the office of an Executive Branch similar to the one operated by the now defunct United States of America. He presides of the military, represents the people abroad, and has a lot of authority in day to day affairs and management of the nation. The legislative arm of the Commonwealth is the 550 seat Grand National Assembly, representing 81 provinces. The members are elected for a four-year term by mitigated proportional representation with an election threshold of 10%. Both the Legislature and the Judaical system are constitutionally independent of the monarch, and the Legislature holds considerable power as well. More modern info: The Unitary Commonwealth of Groko is a fully developed industrial power and operates in several key global industries. Manufacturing (such as ship building, automotive, construction equipment, etc) is one of the key drivers of the economy, along side the Services Industry (which is largely financial) and a modest agricultural sector. A major supporter of global peace and trade, the Commonwealth is also a strong supporter of democracy. |

Hi. The Republic of Jolibaland is a Democratic Semi-Presidential Republic with a bicameral legislature with a industrialised economy, and with federal subdivisions into 'provinces' usually along tribal or linguistic lines. It has a long-ass history and covers an ungodly amount of territory in Africa. A supporter of free trade, international co-operation, and democracy, Jolibaland has long been a regional power with sights set on going global. Economically, Jolibaland has a huge petroleum sector; the revenue from this is generally pumped into infrastructure and education. Jolibaland has a large agricultural sector, and also operates a large manufacturing sector in the shipbuilding and aeronautic industries, as well as the manufacture of specialised parts. Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt are home to relatively small but burgeoning financial and service sectors.
