Nation CS
Formal Name: The Procellian Empire/ The Empire of Procellia
Casual Name: Procellia
Government: Constitutional Monarchy with a single house parliament. There is also an elected court (The Court of His Majesty) that interprets the constitution. Currently most of the power resides with the monarchy, due to political corruption in the Parliament.
Constitution: Yes. Rights include freedom of speech, scientific endeavor, education, press, weapons ownership, fresh water, food, trial in court, to be free from abuse, to have children, to vote, to protest, to assemble in peace, to petition, to speak with the nobility, to speak with representatives, to security in your property. It is notable that the right to freedom of religion is excluded from the constitution.
Population: 1.4 Billion
Currency: The Ake (named for the King who unified the empire in the first theocratic war). It is a piece of silver that is roughly 1 and a half troy ounces in weight, also called a "Procellian ounce"
Geographic Location: Antarctica
Capitol: Reca (Cern is the religious capitol)
Language: Procellian
Major Religion: The vast majority of the population on the mainland is Atheist however the Fofesh Islands (with 1/3 of the population) follow the native religion of Haula.
Haula is trademarked by demon worship. They have a large pantheon of demon gods worshiped by various groups; however all recognize the royal family as literal demon rulers on earth, chosen to guide the nation.
Culture: Procellia is notable for a near religious obsession with science and technology, due to the large Atheist population and free public education. The population is very soft-spoken, and patience and calm are the central tenants of their temperament. It is often noted how obsessively polite and respectful the people are, in addition to the whole nation taking life casually (except for the Fofesh islands where the old caste system is still on the books). The combination of their laid back temperament, slow pace of life, and focus obsessive politeness makes it so politics is a dreadfully long process. They are also very environmentally conscious, a leftover from when the entire nation followed Haula.
History: There is no solid founding date however the first historical evidence of civilization on the continent dates back to ten thousand years ago. The first theocratic war united the country under a single ruler in 1600 BCE.
In the third theocratic war the Atheists rose up against the long standing theocracy and after a one hundred year war Atheism became the predominant force on the mainland, and democracy was established with the founding of The People’s Parliament. However, the monarchy was left in existence to appease the religiously devout Fofesh islanders. The war officially ended with the signing of the new constitution in 0 BCE.
For the past two millennia the center of power has shifted back and forth between the parliament and the monarchy as one or the other became corrupt. There have also been several minor civil spats, which were actually wide spread political disobedience and had no bloodshed, between the mainland and Fofesh over the legitimacy of the elected officials in Reca.
Strengths: Procellia has some of the largest mineral deposits in the world including coal. They also have a well educated population and strong work ethic. In addition to a homeland that is difficult to invade due to punishing winters and a rocky geography.
Weaknesses: Political processes stretch out for great lengths, and the nation still feels a subtle divide between the mainland and FoFesh (like in the US north vs south). Due to their isolation they also do not have a well-developed economy, and businesses are not used to competition. They also have a very small military due to fear of war and distrust of military in general, a carryover from the third theocratic war. They are also geographically isolated from the rest of the world due to their long harsh winters and political leadership’s policies.
Ect: The Procellians are albino, and are notable for their strong Asian features such as slanted eyes and soft features. The royal family is easily distinguished by their purple eyes and curly hair.
They also have adopted nuclear power widely due to their environmental concerns.
They are so isolated that nobody has been in Procellia since the third theocratic war. To most of the world the nation is a mysterious land, and very little is know about it other than what can be seen from space and rumors.

Approved so far. I assume they are Scandinavian racially then?
It sounds interesting to be certain. As long as you allow players to determine how the population is handled in their own lands (like France had several gypsy purges and such) I think I could allow it. I can't say for certain though until I see the CS
Sounds great. This'll be an interesting meeting for sure

On a personal note I wish to ask if any of you are planning on making a (maybe former) colonial power. Since part of my narrative is that my nation was colonized for centuries before we revolted in a dramatic fashion and withdrew into isolation.
That would be a great place. And since the country is secluded it would be a safe place from extremist attacks.
As for how "steampunky" it is I would say that circuitry exists and has for a while, but it considered a novelty. Instead most modern equipment uses tiny gear work and records data on sheets of metal (like a sim card) using micro-braille. The year for this is 2014, so if you want certain tech just ask. :)
Whatever country has what we call the USA would most likely be an economic powerhouse since coal is still in high use, though alternatives such as nuclear and natural gas are on the rise. Oil is in low demand so by in large it is used only as a lubricant for the mechanical devices that make up the modern world.

Update
Espiculeas had a great idea so if I get 3 commitments I will post the map once we at least have a rough idea of what the borders will be. I can refine it as time goes on of course.

Areas along the coast though would be cooler though since the ocean cools down the land near it. So countries like what we call England would average 25 degrees warmer temperatures and central areas might average 60+ (Such as the Sahara)
