GDP Per Capita - 39,000 Yarn
Social Status: Novans enjoy a comfortable life. With a healthy and strong economy there is also enough resources for everyone to live well. State services are sometimes strained and performance suffers. Compared to other places in the world however, Novans have it lightly

Military Structure: Standard deployment structure split into 3 areas: Naval, Air and Ground. Naval is under the command of the Novan Admiralty. The Novan Air Force has its own command structure. Ground forces are split into battalions. All 3 branches report to the Supreme General. Novan does have nuclear capability: 7 Nuclear subs and 14 missile launch facilities. There was a big push in the past 10 years to lower the arsenal from 500 warheads to 300. While there has been some decommissions, there has not been many. The nuclear arsenal is now predicted to be at 360 warheads.
Military Deployment: The Novan Army has not been deployed in a full scale conflict for over 40 years. The last major deployment was 10 years ago on a peacekeeping operation. Novan strategy involves using small specialised and highly armed groups to make a impact, rather than focusing on numbers.

Government Status: Constitutional Monarchy with very little power for the monarchy.

Econonic Status: Northburnian crowns. Or "Kroner" in northern. (KR) The currency is mostly nicknamed "Bränningar" by the populace.
The crown is 0.47 Yarn.
The economy is a newly instated limited state intervention system which mostly focuses on shutting down drastic drops in the economy. The economy is recovering from a low-turn.
Otherwise the regular people have a rather good at GDP 32.000 Yarn. which is 68085 Crowns.

Social Status: The recent economic depression has made the life in Northburn less extravagant, but basically none live in misery.
The overarching majority of people in Northburn is in the middle class. The upper class however is actually more widespread in its wealth than normal.
The middle class holds the majority of the votes in Northburn since every citizen holds one vote. Citizens have to be registered, and people are not born into citizenship. However, citizenship is usually granted to everyone who applies which can be done at 18 years of age.
Which is also the legal age in Northburn.
The school system in Northburn is highly successful and each child is taught a lot. This results in Northburns people having a high educational standard.

Military Status: The military has been lessened over the course of the economic depression, however during the 1940's several bases were built, and in the 1990's the military spending was rather high until the depression. Meaning the nations war materiel hasn't really been updated since the 90's.
Compared to other nations, Northburns military is pathetic in size.
The military research department is a monstrously monetarily efficient machine. Seeing several very high quality inventions prototyped with far less spending than some other nations.
Northburn has high quality equipment at a reasonable cost, but little military spending so they don't have a lot of it.
The Northburn military aircraft hold great quality, but few wants to buy them because of their low production rate.
The northburn military defence force has a turretless tank of very high quality, it is capable of digging in by itself and has a very potent auto-loading 122mm rifled cannon. The sloped design of the tank makes it look like a wedge, which makes it highly resistant to incoming fire. The tank is not common however and its design was made in the 90's, making it superior back then, but due to 20 years without a replacement, a passable machine at best in the current years.

Military Structure:
The military is a high quality and well equipped force that has their military service as their actual job. So it is what pays their salaries. The Northburn universal conscription was ended in the 2000's after a yearly drop in applications and funding since the 1960's.
When the universal conscription was in effect all males of 18 years old served in the military for 8 months before returning to the general society. As it got less and less funding the amount of people actually accepted was what changed, so while everyone went to the conscription office, very few were accepted. Until the universal conscription was removed altogether.

The military is commanded by the grand commander of the army. This position is currently held by Erik Vikning.
The grand commander has the chiefs of the armies branches at his command.
Chief of land forces, Leif Bjure.
Chief of air forces, Tord Kolm.
Chief of sea forces, Berit Geter.
Due to living in the northern hemisphere, Northburn is a land with a warm summer, but a harsh and cold winter. The army is therefore superiorly trained in winter conditions.

Military Deployment:
The military is spread out over Northburn in their numerous hidden cave bases. And in their open training facilities. Some are out on peacekeeping duties.

Total Manpower: 70'000

Government Status: Absolute Monarchy.
In what may ultimately be considered a bastardized form of the Novan Commonwealth's government, there exists a parliament with a single chamber which functions much more like a modern royal court - with the nationalistic Grand Duke acting as both the speaker for the chamber and the final decision on any and all matters.
As of current, the major issue the country is facing is that of seceding from the Novan Commonwealth.
Representatives are elected and ministers are selected from said representatives by the nobility. The nobility reserve the right to remove any number of representatives from office at any time.
Approximately 82% of the nations citizens take one side or another in the debate, either in support of seceding in favor of recreating the former Empire which many citizens are so proud of, or in support of remaining by the Novan Commonwealth to stand by their proud roots.
Econonic Status: The country runs a government-regulated market with an array of legislation in place regarding which, such as anti-discrimination laws, labor laws, and taxation. The official currency is the Adanirian Dollar (AND) and generally fluctuates between 0.76 and 0.89 Yarn. The economy is solid but not thriving, with gradual improvement coming from government reforms and efforts to try and improve the economy. The current nominal GDP per capita sits at approximately 42,000 AAD, or 31,000 Yarn.
Social Status: In the country, it's a hard and fast rule that power is held by the wealthy and influential.
The ruling and upper classes of the nation are in the majority of cases afforded a great deal of luxury, even if it comes from their own back pocket - which is rarely short of money.
The middle and working classes live in conditions sufficient but defiantly lacking in a number of regards. Even with the zero-tolerance approach taken by law enforcement, crime is fairly common to compensate and sits somewhere in the gray between a means to an end and a means to gain in the eyes of the average middle-to-working class citizen.
Social services are developing using a model inspired by that of the Novan Commonwealth's social services, albiet with improvements as suggested by critics and politicians.
Education is passable by the modern standard, but nothing more. Having a higher education is mostly limited to the upper classes due to the cost and family influence required.

Military Status: The Adanirian Military, known as the Royal Adanirian Armed Forces, is coming to the cusp of a campaign to increase both in size and standard, running mostly parallel to efforts to boost the nations economy so that it may support such a force. The military is internationally significant and recent focused expansion to the military may be of concern to the international community.
Recruitment is by means of selective service. Active service members work full time as soldiers and are paid as such and reservists are required to train once a month plus exercises, and both are paid for their time. The military, for a hardy lower-class citizen, is an effective means to gain entry into the upper-classes, as military service both comes with an array of benefits and with cultural value.
The military sits somewhere between adequetly and well supplied and technological advancement generally sits around the modern standard. A number of designs are purchased from other nations for local production and generally with modifications, if not bought outright as complete units. The exception to this is with most Naval Technology, in which Adanir is a world leader.
The pride and joy of the Adanirian Military is its navy, which has been its focus for much of its lifetime. In most aspects, the Adanirian Navy and its ships are relatively superior to a number of international counterparts. Adanir is known to sell schematics and provide resources to close allies and when directed by the Queen, other members of the Commonwealth, but are mostly reluctant to share.
Military Structure: Under the ultimate command of the Grand Marshall as the Head of the Armed Forces, there is the Royal Adanirian Navy, Royal Adanirian Army, and Royal Adanirian Air Force in order of seniority, under the command of Admiral Nicușor Funar, General Toma Vasile, and Air Chief Marshal Mihăiță Lungu respectively. Each service is organized into a number of corps as required with each one generally carrying out a unique function, which is then organized downwards in bodies varying from service to service. Only the Army has reserves.
Military Deployment: Since the Corburn Plains War of 1972, the Adanirian Armed Forces has seen no major deployment. Deployment has been limited to officially limited to peacekeeping operations - a small collection of neighboring nations which the Duchy is at peace with have accused the Grand Duchy of conducting disruption operations but the Duchy has dismissed it as slander.
Total Manpower: Approximately 670,000 (536,000 active service members and 134,000 reservists.)
