WIP WIP WIP [h2][center][color=greenyellow]Trawa[/color][/center][/h2] Flag: (Optional) [hider=Government and Economy] [b]Type of Government[/b] Democratic republic. This set up is relatively new to the Trawans as a mere twenty years ago it was a centuries long monarchy. It is a very simple set up currently. Each province is led by a governor. This governor is elected by the people. The governor elects three representatives to the nations senate. In turn, the senate elects a prime minister. The senate has a variety of committees that oversee various government functions such as finance, foreign affairs, and trade relations to name a few.

Trawans flood the worlds market with easy to export weapons and commodities. [/hider] [hider=History, Demographics, and Culture.] Primary Species: Humanity Population: 68 million Culture: (This is often the most neglected, yet most important section. How you fill this out determines how other nations see you and how the normal people in your nation will act in nearly every situation. What norms have been prevalent, what acts are taboos? Why have these things come about? Try to remember culture is a vital part of any NS.) Religious and other Beliefs: History: Trawa is a long standing nation, tracing its roots to the 13th century... [/hider] [hider=Geography, Agriculture, and industry] Trawa is a average sized nation located on the western edge of the eastern continent. It boasts mountains to its eastern borders and fertile plains in its heartland Climate: (Our world is warmer than Earth, but not by too much. Northern climates will have the same difficulties as they would have in the real world and other climates can be said to be much the same. Feel free to be detailed here; a temperature doesn’t make a climate so be specific about any geographical details.) Cities, bases, etc: (This can be a list, or an internal map.) Agriculture: (Dependant on your climate and other factors, this can be shorter but as always detail means a better world to RP in.) Industry: Of the few things Trawans have to be proud of, their heavy industry is at the top. Massive factories with monstrous machines, conveyors and assembly lines pump out items ranging from pocket watches to aircraft. These objects are all well made yet still affordable on the global market. One of Trawa's foremost attributes is rich mineral deposits and extensive oil reserves. Some would say that having abundant materials gives them a superior position, they're completely right but that so called superiority has led to over confidence and over all loss. [/hider] [hider=Military] [color=lightblue]Navy[/color] The Trawan navy was at one point, one of the largest surface fleets on the globe. After the great war though, this number was cut severely. Many of its surviving battleships either captured or scuttled. After the war, the severe limitations placed upon Trawa prevented massive battleships from production and a tonnage limit removed any chance of a legal large navy. They worked around this with the onset of the submarine. The Trawans poured a vast fortune in to the submarine and using their relatively light tonnage due to the lack of heavy surface ship armor, was able to create a vast fleet of these famed undersea predators.
