He, in turn, wished her a good rest and asked if she was pleased to return to Jodesia, to which her reply consisted of just one syllable,

"sex"


My god why is that everything I write is (mis)interpreted as utter filth. :P

Nation Name:
Nationalist Republic of Brazil (Also known as Republic of Brazil, NRB, Union of the Amazon, or Nationalist Brazil)

Government Type:
One Party Republic
The One party allowed to rule over Brazil is the Nationalist Party, every four years an election begins to see which member of the Nationalist party will become the next President. Each president can serve a maximum of four terms.
The only way for another party to take control is for them to drop down to less than 30% of the population.
Below the rank of President lies the Governors, ruler of each individual state or colonial region in the NRB. These governors are allowed to serve two 4 year terms and all of them are elected from the Nationalist Party.
The strongest state (has the most say in the Nationalist Party government) is the Cape, with New Lisbon (New Zealand and Tasmania) being the second most powerful)
Head(s) of Government:


Persons of Importance:


Race(s):
68% Pure Brazilian (Mostly Descended from Either the original European Colonists or European Immigrant)
6% Levantine-Brazilian (Descended from the Christian Lebanese and Christian Syrian Immigrants that came to Brazil During the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. This, along with the large Christian Exodus that happened during the 2050s Ano Domini led to this being the largest minority. Considered different from Mixed category for its size)
5% Amazonian (Mostly Descended from the tribes of the Amazon)
5% Black (Either Māori, Descended from African Slaves, Descended from African Immigrants, or those that Descendants from the ones spared from the Great cleansing.)
4% Anglo (Mostly Descended from the Anglo Population of New Zealand)
4% Mixed (The largest of the Mixed categories is Brazilian-Amazonian)
3% Radiation Mutated (Those who are descendants of the ones who where mutated by the radiation)
3% Modified (Those descendant from people who went through genetic modification to change themselves)
2% Réptil Diablo (Those descendant from sufferers of the Crocodil Plague)

Population:
Around 200 Million.

Culture:
The mainland area of the NRB is very similar to Brazil pre-Cataclysm. They are a people who are similar to those that live in Portugal, but they do have differences. The major holiday of the NRB is Reformation day, which is meant to celebrate the day in which the Brazilian Chalcedonian Church split off from the main Catholic church.

Religion:
Majority of Brazilians are adherents of the Brazilian Chalcedonian Church, which claims to be the true succesor of the Church after the Great Schisms of 1054 and 1378-1417. The Brazilian Chalcedonian Church mixes beliefs from Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Beliefs. The Brazilian Chalcedonian Church is headed by the Tri-archy, which is made up of the Patriarch of Cape, The Bishop of New Lisbon, and the Bishop of Haiti. Atheism is the next largest "religion", followed by traditional Catholicism.

History:
Before the Era of Peace:
A major part of Brazilian History during and slightly before the Cataclysm is the spreading of the Crocodil Plague, something created by the Socialist Union of Argentina-Chile that was meant to help them attack and conquer Brazil and reclaim the Falklands. The plague itself is a mixture of Aids, the Bubonic Plague, Smallpox, along with the unwanted effect of changing the human Chromosome structure, which caused a large amount of the children of those who survived the plague to become more Reptilian in appearance, which gave them the name Réptil Diablo. The Crocodil Plague grew and effected all of South America, Parts of Central America, and Parts of Africa.

Society itself in Brazil collapsed, people similar to plague doctors went door to door collecting the dead and unwanted Children and either abandoned them somewhere in the Amazon or threw in giant pits. Within 10 years South America collapsed into Tribal warfare as the rest of Human civilization fell.

For hundreds of years Brazil stood disunited with differing tribes vying for control. Eventually one man named Pedro Eduarez The Great was able to unite the three major tribes of the Cape, and from there he began he reconquest of the lost areas of Brazil. His conquests would bring death and destruction to those who refused to surrender to him. Women and Children where burned for crimes against his rule, and men who worked as slaves to help build up his military.

By the time Pedro Eduarez Died, much of the middle area of South America was united, but he would kill 500,000 people with his cruelty and conquests. His son Pedro II The Insane would inherit the fledgling Empire and would try to expand on what his father did, but unlike his father, Pedro II was a bit childish and irrational on the field of combat. Pedro II most notable feature was sending multiple people to death for looking at him the wrong way, which earned him his nickname. Eventually his son Cruz the Conquerer succeeded his father, and he would begin the official continuation of conquests.

By this point the minority issue in the Brazilian Empire had grown a large problem for the Royal Family as with the more land they conquered, the more the minorities grew. In response to this Cruz had put a large amount of the Blacks, Amazonians, and Mutants (Radiation and Réptil Diablo) into camps where they would be slaughtered or worked to near death. While doing this Cruz was busy attempting a manifest destiny and he would try and connect Brazil of Atlantic to Pacific. By the end of his reign what he called "Pure Brazilian" had became the largest population without any doubt and any other group was reduced to 6% or less.

His son Pedro III the Great would begin the cultural and technological Renaissance and Rebirth in the Empire. He would send out mass excavation parties to the ruins of major cities all across the Empire and he would start to use this technology to fuel his advancements. He would begin a conquest of the submerged areas in the middle of the continent with his newly forged Navy and soon this would belong to him. By the end of his reign he had set up Colonies on the Falklands and the Islands right off the coast of Africa.

Cruz II the Cruel would take the thrown after his father and would bring with him some of the insanity of the original Cruz. He would continue expansion into Africa, and any of the tribes that would attempt to fight back would be slaughtered. Each village leader killed and placed on a pike for all to see. Eventually he would stop his expansion into Africa after he felt bored with it. After this, he set his eyes on Haiti and the other Caribbean Islands, where he would employ the same tactics he did to the Natives in Africa on the populace. By his death, Brazil's expansion had led them to becoming a large colonial nation.

Cruz III would take the throne and he would expand like his father did, but he wouldn't conquer like he did. Cruz III instead focused on the conquest on some of the islands in the Pacific area instead of the Atlantic. Other than this, his reign was irrelevant compared to that of his son, Cruz IV The Nightmare.

Cruz IV's first act as Emperor was to begin the industrial killings of the Black populace in Africa and the Caribbean Islands. Those who where spared during the reign of Cruz II were destroyed and put on as an example to show what happened to those he thought of as inferior. He would kill more than his grandfather did, but not as much as his Great-Great Grandad did. Another notable event during his reign was the creation of the first colonies in what would become New Lisbon and the creation of the terrorist group Freedom Movement.

Era of Peace:
Pedro IV's rule would be the last in the Empire's history as the Freedom Movement would rise up and dethrone the family for crimes against humanity. The Freedom Movement would become what was known as the Nationalist Party and would set up the government that Brazil has now. Majority of the presidents of the newly formed NBR would focus on colonization in the pacific, which would eventually lead to all of New Zealand, Tasmania, and some of the smaller islands North East of New Zealand joining the Republic.

Since the Freedom Revolution the NBR has been mostly peaceful, only getting into conflict with Réptil Diablos out in the Amazon or some other colonialist tribes that are left attempting to revolt against NBR rule.

Military:
Land Military - Mostly based off defense, the NBR land military is split between the Colonial Troops, which are used to spread their influence and help defend colonies, and the Higher ranked, more trained, Espada troops, who are mostly just in the mainland.

Navy - The navy of the NBR is its greatest asset for expansion and colonization. The Ports of Wellington (Capital of New Lisbon), Africa, and Cape are used just as much for military as it is for economic assets and trade.

Question: what are we doing for languages for this? Like, it's not likely that every person from every nation speaks the same language, and while I'm not expecting us to write gobbledegook for direct speech then narrate translations, it does seem reasonable in the IC to acknowledge the different languages. Does anybody still speak English, for example? In my head, Jodesia is very much based off the Netherlands and Germany, so their language would be a fusion of the two, but this might be something to think about?

Heh, as a linguist, I wanna be all like Oh Hell No Language Doesn't Work Like That, but, in the spirit of 'making up science as the plot demands', I guess I don't get to be all 'but language is a consistently evolving phenomenon and even regional variants of English are almost mutually unintelligible and that's before we even start with the (by definition) mutually unintelligible dialects'.

Either way, I'm probably gonna set a language (not called Jodesian because sweet jesus am I bored with that set of letters) for Jodesia so I can emphasise how people in the Westerijk have adapted to the most common language, which I'm assuming will be English. Since (@Monkeypants) I guess the NAU is the Westerijk's biggest buddy, are you speaking English over there or something else? I'm guessing it's not godmodding to use an integrated NAU expat in the Westerijk for a post? (If you don't want me to, obviously let me know)

As a Linguist and a ferverent Conlanger, I had the bright idea to act upon a fragmentation of Mandarin, and make some Sinolangs to represent a far future lingua franca for the Great Han, as well as future Korean languages. But yeah, its much easier just to use modern Mandarin for placeholder text.

@Nerevarine
I wasn't even gonna use placeholder text. I think my writing style is typically framed from one person's perspective, who'd typically only have one language to work with. Therefore direct speech would be either the commonly-understood language or narrated as foreign gibberish.

People in Oceos mostly speak a descendant of Greenlandic. English, Danish, Gaelic, and Icelandic are still around but mostly as novelties. I am just a dumb highschooler so you won't actually see that language written but it is there.

Yeah, I'll be using English as a primary. I'll likely call it speaking 'American' though. That said, make an expat. I'm intrigued to see where you go with it.

@ClocktowerEchosWell, I do have a nation of uber liberal furries, so I have no doubt they'd take no issue with the perviness! Unless your religion or morals makes you despise them, which is becoming a theme here.

Nah, while I personally am not too much of a Furry fan, I'm sure that IC you'll be able to find people in Fuso who'd be more than accepting considering part of the Fuso population is almost actual furry

Fuso is quite literally built on anime tropes xD

Fuso's general international policy is "don't fuck with us, we don't fuck with you" and try to stay officially neutral in any major conflict. That's not to say they don't support one side or ONI decides to pull their own fuckery, but officially the government stays on no one's side unless its clearly to their advantage.

Religiously, sort of the same thing, Shintoism doesn't exactly have a big anti-foreigner ideology embedded into it and with Himiko, Fuso is actually something of a xenophile; not too surprising since their largest industries heavily relies on people willing to watch anime/porn x3

EDIT: I apologize if this doesn't make sense, I'm in that state between "half awake" and "not enough coffee".

@Monkeypants @AltRightHero So, it looks like there's going to be war breaking out in South America. I don't see any reason for Malagasy Enterprises to be unfriendly toward either nation, and this actually makes them both REALLY close to home... I may use this in a post, though I'm not sure how just yet.

One thing's for sure, though: @Brink_ You're going to be contacted by a Malagasy diplomat soon so Madagascar can discuss the situation with Franco-Iberia.

@Sigma Expect a post some time today concerning extra aid being sent to assist the "Moderate UPC Rebels." (Yes, I just went there.)

Sounds good. The brazillian federation is a small nation on the northern coast of the continent. It's got a population of a little over a million tops. Itd be reliant on trade from overseas nations due to its locale.

If any of that helps your post.

Unrelated, I've posted three new things in my military section, two artillery pieces and a new aircraft. Just to illustrate what sorts of things that'll likely be included in my next post. (anything could happen.)
