Nations Name: Heliga Kejsardöme av Farligmark (Often referred to simply as Vanjana or Farligmark
Flag:
Form of Government: Constitutional Theocracy
Describe the System: Vanjana's government is led by a Jade, who acts as the King/Queen of the Empire as well as the leader of the Kyrkan av Stjärnaljus (The Empire's official church, normally referred to simply as the Kyrkan). Their power is checked by elected representatives from all Imperial territories, including the colonies. These representatives do, however, have to be members of the Kyrkan. As a result, the Jade's orders are generally accepted unless they are absolutely ridiculous. This can't stop the Jade from making bad decisions, but it usually keeps nutcases in check. The colonies are governed by their representative, whose orders can be overturned by the other representatives.
Location on Map Desired:
Capital: Heligastaden: The capital of Vanjana, this city is both a bustling port city and a beautiful tourist destination. The classes are highly visible here, with the rich living right on the coast and the housing getting progressively worse as one journey's further inland. The city is designed so that any visitors will likely never see the poor areas, with the Jade's palace itself being front and center in the port, held up by stone supports.
Important Settlements: -Stadavsöder: The capital of the Varmland territory, shown as a black dot on the map. It is surrounded by farmland, and functions as a trade port to ship food between the Imperial territories. -Högmark: The capital of NordstedF, shown on the map by a red dot. It is also a major industrial center, using up the raw resources from Nordsted and shipping the finished products to Heligastaden. This city is populated almost entirely by poor workers, and the sky is constantly filled with thick smog. -Nyheligastaden: The capital of the Kashtaken colonies, shown as a blue dot. Since the Kashtaken colonies are quite old parts of the Empire, they are heavily industrialized, and Nyheligastaden is no exception. It is populated by both natives and colonists, whom both know the other's language. Due to a staggering difference in pronunciation, grammar, and basic linguistic philosophy, nobody can truly speak the other language with any accuracy. Instead, the two languages are used in the same conversation, with everyone knowing what the other person is saying and responding in their native language. -Stadavkryddor: The capital of the Modensa colonies, represented by a purple dot. It has a large population of Kashtaken natives, since they had already had limited contact with Modensa natives, it was deemed useful to send them. It has very little industry, and instead ships out tea and spices farmed in the colonies.
Description: The people of Vanjana proper come in two types: The extremely rich and the extremely poor. Almost everyone lives in a city, and all cities have clear class separations. The rich live in the middle of the city, and as you go further out, the buildings get more rundown and covered is soot from the factories. Sadly, there is no sign of this changing, as even the poor workers are content with it. They have a "There's no point in trying" attitude towards change, and settle for their meager wages and constant bombardment of smoke. While these poor men, women, and children slowly kill themselves in the smog-filled hellhole of the outer city, the rich throw extravagant parties in the inner city, not caring at all whether their workers live or die so long as they get their profits. Even in the hell in which they live, the poor can find the time for fun, and it is not uncommon to see people of all ages playing various sports during off-hours.
In Nordsted, the same society as Vanjana proper continues until a point at which the hills end and the mountains begin. Past that point, there are no rich or poor, only people. They may be employed by the rich of Vanjana and the King himself, but the rich rarely come to the mines, and thus they live a much better life than the poor of Vanjana proper. The only steam-powered machines in the mountains are mining lifts, which don't cause nearly enough pollution to create the hellish conditions seen in the cities. Those in the mining towns are famous for their "Festival av Frihet", which is an annual festival celebrating the day Nordsted was conquered by Vanjana. They see that day as their day of liberation, as the mines were formerly harassed by bandits until the Vanjanan military wiped them out. Even the rich in the cities allow their workers to travel to the festival, as doing so gets them in well with the King, who obviously likes the fact that the festival exists.
In Varmland, there are few cities, and most of the land is dotted with farms. It holds the vast majority of Vanjanan food production, as Vanjana proper and Nordsted have little arable land. Even more so than Nordsted, its people are free from the tyranny of the rich, with each farm being independent of any larger organization. Despite their relative freedom, they are the most rebellious, still holding on to their nationality. However, very few will publicly display their ideas, as the freedom only extends to those who do not oppose the King. The Vanjanan military puts down any revolts, and the people of Varmland live not in fear of the rich, but in fear of the King.
The dominant religion in the Holy Vanjanan Empire is "Aätt av Atjärnan Ljus", and its followers are known as "Soldater av Stjärnan Ljus". They believe that all the universe is in a constant struggle between good and evil, and that there are an infinite number of gods and goddesses constantly battling on each side in order to secure victory. They believe that the stars are worlds just like Adara, some of which are populated by mortals, and others which are wastelands created from the endless war. It is believed that all mortals were created by goddesses (and only goddesses) on both sides to do battle for them. As such, it is an incredibly violent religion, known for seeing anyone who refuses to convert as a mortal created by an evil goddess.
The Soldater av Stjärnan Ljus worship one goddess in particular, who they simply call "The Goddess". She is believed to be the goddess that created the good humans, and is said to grant her power to only the best of people. King Kalle XII claims to be one of these people, going so far as to say that he is the avatar of The Goddess' will. There are many Monks and Nuns who have spent their entire lives devoted to worshipping the Goddess, hoping to be chosen to gain her power in their next life.
There are multiple languages in the Holy Vanjanan Empire, but the most used is Vanjanani (Similar to Swedish). Ancient Vanjanani is used in the anthem, however, and most know at least those words. The currency is the Fyrapoängstjärnamynt (Often shortened to Frya). There are quarter Frya coins, half Frya coins, one Frya coins, two Frya coins, four Frya coins, eight Frya coins, and sixteen Frya coins. The coins below one Frya are made from silver, their thickness determining their value. Above one Frya, the coins are made from gold, with their width determining their value. All are stamped with the face of Kalle XII.
Important Characters:
Now in his mid 30's, Kalle XII has reigned ever since he was fifteen. At that young age, he turned a defensive war into an offensive war and conquered two nations in the Great Nordsjön War. He is beloved by his followers, who believe him to be the voice of the Goddess' will. His arrogance is famous as is his cruelty to his enemies. If you follow him, he will love you. If you oppose him, he will hate you. There are very few, if any, things and people he is neutral towards.
During the Great Nordsjön War, he took command of the Vanjanan armies and crushed the nations of Nordsted and Varmjord in a series of miraculous Vanjanan victories. This earned him the respect of the church and the love of his people, but he wasn't done yet. He cemented his rule in Nordsted through political maneuvering, making the people see him as a liberator instead of a conqueror. In Varmjord, he decimated any rebels that would dare rise up, keeping his rule safe simply out of fear that he was invincible.
(Others will be roleplayed, as they haven't actually done anything important yet)
Traits: Professional Army: Your nations prides itself on an extensive training programme and fine equipment for its armed forces. -3 Large Army: Your nation maintains an army that is huge in size, it dwarfs your average rival’s. -2 Scared of Water: Your nation has never been one for their sea legs. Many naval loses and ship disasters have left your people un-supporting of any venture in which they need to leave the sight of land. +3 Strong Industry: Factories reach into the sky and spew forth smoke 24/7. Your goods are produced quickly and effectively. -2 Rusted Hulls: Your nation sees a navy upkeep as unneeded and so most of your ships are in partial, or total, disrepair and will require a large amount of money to be battle worthy or very seaworthy. +2 Landlubbers: Your sailors don't exactly train on a boat, boarding and marine forces perform slightly worse due to the moving deck. +1 Major Colonial Empire: Your nation epitomises ‘Colonial Power’ with large swathes of land under your control on different continents. -3 State Controlled Economy: Your market is controlled by your ruler, every business is state owned and all works are employed by the state, you are less vulnerable to crashes in the market however with the lack of competition your country advances more slowly and the economy rises more slowly. +1
Army: (I will roll this, population, navy, GDP and stability.)
Uh, don't we need either the minor or major colonial trait for colonies?
App edited, I thought I put it in. Instead of doing the logical thing and removing Large Army, I decided to make myself unstable. Totally worth it though, since I now have a large army.
I couldn't find where to mention it in the app, but Farligmark is quite technologically advanced thanks to a line of Jades who highly encouraged the sciences.

Nations Name: The Federal Republic of Aurora FLAG: http://i.imgur.com/3o0Md2L.jpg Form of Government: Federal Republic Describe the System: The Consul Advisory Acting as the executive branch of the Federal Republic of Aurora, The Consul Advisory acts much like the "Presidential Cabinet" or as "Ministers". Lead by the Two Consuls, or Heads of State, The Consul Advisory is the leading body in all matters of government. These Ministers act as the heads of their respective departments and report to the Two Consuls and advise them as necessary; only subject to the word of the Conclave and the Divine Charter as a governing factor of their doings.
The Conclave The Conclave is much like a Senate. They attend to the every day-to-day matters of governance over the entirety of the Federal Republic. Therefore the Conclave acts as the primary governing factor of the state, acting as the check for the Consul Advisory and handing the voting and proposing of various bills and ideas. However, the Consul Advisory can also propose ideas but unless otherwise stated it must typically be approved by the Conclave. The Conclave contains Hundreds of Councilors; the High Councilors being the primary representatives of each province(Typically the province's Sovereign of Head of State and or an appointed official of said Head of State). Depending on the governing style of each province ; The Councilors are either voted on by the populace, voted on by the nobles, or appointed by the Head of State.

@Keyguyperson Just to let you know that a Theocracy is a dying breed now. You are going to struggle because of it as secularisation becomes more common in everything.
@Bastone There is no such thing as any real world countries. None of the languages you have listed are credible for this. Either make up names for these languages or use one of the two you have already made up.
@Murtox Your nation doesn't make total sense to me. I understand the whole 'Independant Colony' idea, but that requires a homeland to come from (Which you lack) and you mention your monarch allowing a republic to form. In what situation would a monarch ever give up their divine power for the people? Finally you describe your nation without any sort of flaw. You need to make major changes to your nation. I don't mind republics or countries in the new world however the actual nation itself has no real reason to be there.
