I don't know anything about my nation, yet. It's all mush. Would you like me to design mine to fit with yours? If yes, what type of nation\race do you think would complement yours?

Still very much a work in progress. Just wanted to put this up someplace in case piratepad died or something. Edit: Apparently formatting is different now... Edit: I think I have an understanding on the new formatting. Damn though, I miss hiders already.
The Cormyrean Confederation
General Galactic Location: Northern Rim
History
The end of the Great War, roughly 200 years ago, would prove to be a milestone in the history of the Cormyrean Confederation, as the new democratic powers of the world, led by Atrya, proved to be victorious over the old monarchist powers. New forms of governments sprang up as the world order was changed to one centered on Atrya and its rival, Sostan. Over the next fifty years Atrya would prove to be the stronger of the two and becoming the hegemonic power of the world. Still quite powerful, controlling roughly a sixth of the world’s land, but isolated due to Atrya’s system of alliances, Sostan waged a war of desperation on its neighbors. Out of this war Ifliington, a fledging regional power, would grow into one of the world’s most important countries. Provided with technology from Atrya, an Ifliington led coalition not only beat back Sostan, but began a mad dash to conquer as much of its territory as possible; Meanwhile Sioelia, a former great power that had been on the losing side of the Great War, marched on Sostan from the opposite direction. Atrya and the new Ifliington Commonwealth became fast allies even as Sioelia began to rebuild its once great naval empire. Elsewhere in the world Coibeyya turned to religion in order to incorporate its neighbors into its own growing empire. The world soon found itself with three rapidly growing powers, the Ifliington Commonwealth, Coibeyya, and Sioelia, the last two of which very much desired an end to Atrya hegemonic power. Things wouldn’t come to a head, however, for another fifty years. The use of space for military control and communications as well as the movement of troops was now commonplace, for Atrya at least. Atrya had, up until this point, held a monopoly on the use of space for the military. A cunning plan on Sioelia’s part put all of this at risk. Sioelia spent ten years to secretly transport the materials needed to construct a base on the far side of the moon, using the existence of a civilian research base as a cover. It then used the base as a launching point for thousands of small rocks, equipped with small rockets, to destroy most of Atrya’s satellites. Sioelia and its ally, Coibeyya, fought a fierce war against Atrya and Ifliington. The war itself proved to be a milestone in Cormyrean history, as the concept of total war was thrown out the window. The countries of Sioelia and Coibeyya didn’t desire the destruction of Atrya; they only wished to be recognized as growing powers and realized that to fight a total war against Atrya and targeting its civilian facilities would force Atrya to fight to the bitter end. Atrya, on the other hand, had learned from the mistakes of the Great War and didn’t want to destroy Sioelia and Coibeyya, instead it only desired to contain them and maintain its hegemony over the world. The war would later be hailed as the “most civilized war in history”, with civilian casualties at a historic low. Ultimately the Atrya-Ifliington alliance proved to be victorious, affirming Atryan hegemony over the world and space. Atrya used its most recent victory to bare all other countries from space, except for the use of basic communications satellites. All of the resources of the Cormyral System were open for Atrya’s use, and the world’s hegemonic power quickly rushed to set up mining operations in the nearby asteroid belt. Meanwhile the developed countries of the world found themselves with a rapidly growing population problem. Whereas in the previous hundred years the problem was halting the flow of immigrants, the problem was now the exact opposite as the populations in developed countries steadily dropped. Atrya turned to its neighbor, Iscxa, for immigrants. The other developed countries of the world turned to their neighbors as well. All except Sioelia and Coibeyya. Coibeyya itself was a developed country that had recently annexed numerous undeveloped and developing countries, meaning it had more people than it knew what to do with. Sioelia was hit particularly hard by declining population, losing an entire third of its population when its oldest members passed away; however, it was keen on maintaining its ethnic purity, thus turning to robotics as a means to solving its growing labor problem. Atrya and Sioelia became the world’s leaders when it came to robotics. Fifty years later Atrya and Sioelia’s labor issues were solved by advanced in robotics. All was not well for Atrya, however, as diplomatic issues between Iscxa and Atrya over immigrants came to a head. Atrya, with its labor problems solves, no longer had need of Iscxa immigrants and many in the country wanted to deport them. Iscxa, now fully developed, had no desire to have to deal with millions of refugees. Issues of historic Iscxa claims on Atrya territory added fuel to the fire. Eventually war broke out between the two countries. Despite Atrya’s vast technological advantage, Iscxa’s much greater population size proved to be almost too much for Atrya to overcome. Atrya eventually won the war, but the effort nearly broke it. Atrya could only watch as first Sioelia, and then Coibeyya and Ifliington rushed to develop space. Atrya, Coibeyya, Ifliington, and Sioelia collectively became known as the Big Four. Micro-wars over colonies and mining sites became the norm as Atrya desperately tried to maintain its space holdings. As the Big Four built up their infrastructure in space, so too did tensions grow. War eventually erupted between Coibeyya and Sioelia over control of the most far flung colonies in Cormyral. Inevitably Atrya and Ifliington were pulled into what would later by called the Great Cormyrean War. Once enemies became allies as Atrya and Sioelia teamed up to battle Coibeyya. Ifliington officially remained unallied with both sides, but more often than not teamed up with Coibeyya to counter the Atrya-Sioelia alliance. At first the war was confined to space, but eventually it spread to the homeworld as most of the countries picked one side or the other. Through the use of shrewd politics, espionage, and the proper application of military power, one country by the name of Eiclein quickly grew into a power during the Great Cormyrean War. Eventually the Atrya-Sioelia alliance won the war. Atrya maintained control over the asteroid belt and its colonies on the nearest planet while Sioelia became the dominant power in the outer edges of the Cormyrean System. Although battered and beaten, Ifliington and Coibeyya escaped the war with only modest loses, although they were expected to pay reparations. For its part Eiclein had managed to rapidly grow in power, becoming part of the now Big Five, but in doing so had managed to piss off the other four members. By this time the Big Five had long known that intelligent life existed beyond their system thanks to the radio waves they’d been picking up for years. The responses from the Big Five varied from country to country, but ultimately they decided to form an organization with which they would face whatever might lay outside of their home system, thus the Cormyrean Confederation was born. The apparent unification of the Cormyrean Confederation turned out to be little more than a farce as competition between the Big Five grew even more intense. Cormyral's most advanced countries raced to develop true extrastellar FTL technology and be the first to colonize worlds beyond their home system. Naturally Atrya was the first to develop the capabilities needed to travel beyond their home system. A massive campaign of exploration was launched to find the best worlds and asteroid belts to claim. Several years later Sioelia developed its own extrastellar FTL systems and it too launched a campaign of exploration and colonization. Ten years passed before the next member of the Big Five, Ifliington, achieved extrastellar FTL; during this time Atrya had gained a firm grasp on two neighbor systems while Sioelia had control over a third. Ifliington rushed to claim its own star system before either Coibeyya or Eiclein could contest its claims. By the time Coibeyya and Eiclen did develop the necessary technology to colonize other star systems the closest such systems were already dominated by Atrya and Sioelia, and Ifliington to a lesser degree. Over the next few decades Coibeyya, Eiclen, and Ifliington would race to colonize what became known as the rim systems, a collection of ten star systems, while Atrya and Sioelia focused on developing the core systems.
The Nalloth
Nalloth are a species of animal that exhibits traits of both mammals and reptiles. They possess six appendages, each of which can function as either a hand or foot equally well. They are covered in small scales that are used primarily for protection. These scales can change color and pattern over time in response to changes in the environment, acting as camouflage as well. Perhaps even more interesting how Nalloth seemingly switch between being warm and cold blooded. Typically they exhibit the traits of a warm blooded animal, but under certain circumstances, namely when food is scare, a Nalloth can rely on the environment to regulate its body temperature. Heavily vascularized osteoderms not only allow a Nalloth to rapidly raise or decrease its body temperature, acting as a heat-exchanger, but also act as a sort of body armor. They possess four eyes, each of which rest on an eye stock that can swivel to look in any direction independently of the others. Nalloth are omnivores, preferring to use vegetation as a supplement to animal protein. They have evolved to have very good reflexes, spatial awareness, and eyesight when all of their eyes are looking in the same direction. Their languages consists of a series of shrill whistles, whines, and grunts with small differences in pitch and tone having a small effect on the meaning of a 'word'. While a human might be capable of understanding a majority of the native Nalloth languages they cannot hope to speak it and Nalloth are incapable of speaking human languages. They can, however, attempt to use whistles, whines, and grunts to mimic words found in other languages to varying degrees of success.

Anyway, as for the war we can work out the reasons for it starting later. Perhaps once you get a more concrete idea of your nation. But I imagined it sort of going well for you at first, pretty much just attacking the settlements that aren't part of the four big republics. And then eventually, emboldened by your victories you start attacking one of the larger ones which finally sets of warning bells with the rest of the Republics and they band together. And then the war starts turning against you now that you're fighting a unified front. Sound good? Any ideas to add or anything?

Sorry peeps, but I need to pull out of this game. I can't give it the time and focus a high-level game like this deserves, and recent IRL events are limiting my writing time. Feel free to use the Grey Stars Coalition as a NPC.

Hah! I wouldn't be too worried about it Luna. I'd rather you ask stupid questions and have a basic understanding behind your tech than just handwave everything. Do you know what region of the galaxy you'll be setting up shop in? Skylar: Damn man. Sucks to lose you. Hopefully we'll catch you next time.

Looking at the raws, the problem is that you indented the first line of all your paragraphs. That may be 'correct,' but here on the forums the formatting to create multiline code blocks works by prepending four spaces before your writing. Remove the indents. That might fix it.
