I guess if you could add something on the Political Government, then it might be golden.
Also, this just my pet peeve here.
Just the name of your country itself - the Free United Nations - make it seem like they are a byproduct or progress of the United Nations (while instead they are a couple of Middle Eastern nations instead).
You don't have to change anything, but I simply advise the changing to The Free Nations instead perhaps?
Okay, my idea so far. Very rough, and heavily WIP. Honestly just posting this so it's still here tomorrow and not deleted as a draft.
Nation Name: The Free United Nations (TFUN)
Flag/Banner(s): None, yet.
Political Environment and Government Type: I'm going to put this in hider dot point things to organise my thoughts a little more.
Warlords act as rulers over their individual cities. They are bound by The Free Uniting Pact (TFUP) to enforce very few laws in their city. By custom, if a Warlord is killed, their killer takes rule. This is unlikely if the Warlord is well liked, which they'd better be for fear of assassination. If a Warlord is not killed and dies of sickness or age, the first person to assume the mark of power for that city becomes the new Warlord (this can be a throne, a staff, a crown, shit like that). This usually has a ritual before it, involving competition with other candidates, but there's nothing apart from stigma to stop someone forgoing this ritual.
So basically justice is fit to be served by any five people not involved in the perceived wrongdoing. If these five people disagree they will have to make the vote unanimous in any way they see fit (debate, murder, threat) Justice is complicated. The large majority of the people follow a loose moral code, generally something along the lines of "Everything is appropriate at different times.". Apart from this strange cultural habit, there is no formal justice system.
This is the only city protected from the inside by TFUP. If anyone within TFUN attacks Jajeme, they will face the wrath of all the other cities. The Warlord of Jajeme doesn't follow normal rules either. The Warlord has several students he has chosen, usually about 5. These students take it in turns to run certain aspects of the city so the Warlord can evaluate them. When the Warlord dies any way the students appeal to the Warlords of the other capitals, who must make a unanimous vote on a student (again, by any means.). The Warlord of Jajeme ensures the safety of TFUN as a whole, and enforces the rules put in place by TFUP.
The rules enforced by TFUP are as follows:
It is our responsibility to punish any Warlord who neglects his responsibilities.
It is our responsibility to defend Jajeme.
It is our responsibility to forget conflict if Jajeme asks, until Jajeme sees fit to resume the conflict.
It is our responsibility to defend cities of TFUN from outside forces.
It is a Warlord's responsibility to only control one capital at once.
It is a citizen's responsibility to dethrone an unworthy Warlord.
Location On Map:
Demographics (Religious and Racial): TFUN is a melting pot of different ethnicities. This is a breakdown only of the most common:
East African (28%)
Arabic (22%)
Eastern European (15%)
Central African (12%)
West Asian (14%)
Other (9%)
TFUN follow a strange religion where all gods are accepted as true and real. No god is able to contradict another god because its teachings only apply to the followers of that god. Demographics (Other)

Important States and Cities:
The capital of TFUN, and founded as the free uniting pact was formed. A city large enough to be a state itself. Centerpoint of all other TFUN cities
The most inland and out of touch city of TFUN. Fairly undiverse, but they became wealthy with the discovery of large amounts of metals in the craters surrounding what was The Great Rift Valley.
The gateway to the east, Eljawhera is a very diverse city. The center of trade with the east, if trade is occurring. Anything that wants to get to TFUN's core by sea has to get past Eljawhera and Jajanhart.
A formidable military force with a decent navy. Jajanhart is a chaotic city that erupts quickly, and with force. Usually trades salt and seafood, as it is perched between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
(Pronounced SH-ehm) Is a largely agricultural city due to the minerals found in the soil. However, as the main defense against the Mare Nostrum it still holds an army comparable in size to Jajanhart. Center of trade for eastern and southern Europe.
History:
It's 1:00 here. I will edit this with a finish tomorrow.
With the rather lackluster performance in the Dabrado Province - the leadership had decided that a notion had to be taken, to help reduce the situation that seemed to hamstring the STU the most. Namely their seemingly anonymous profile and being almost unheard of in some regions of Samgola. Such actions had cost the Samgolan Technocratic Union many opportunities to manage any kind of victory or increase their stance in the National Assembly.
As such, on December 18th - the STU had organized roughly together 1,600 supporters all across the Samgola - in the many large cities in the Provinces. Or namely 200 supporters split between the seven Provinces of Samgola and also in Kamidye. To prevent a repeat of the incident that soured the reputation of the S.D - the Samgolan Technocratic Union, provided the Bassong Administration with a full description of their activities.
Namely from December 18 to 20 - the STU was organizing numerous free seminars all across Samgola - open to all members of the public without charge or any fee. With namely a budget of 200,000$ - which was utilized to rent-out meeting halls, sporting centers and other large or open spaces - the Samgolan Technocratic Union hoped in helping to make their ideas and ways more understandable to the average person.
In Kamidye - Nhara Nereal would be speaking, the same man whom tried and failed to achieve much success in the Dabrado Province - but he hadn't let that stop him. The former lawyer, kept his chin high as he explained the ideals of the STU - as he had once done so, in court to his clients.
"The Samgolan Technocratic Union - greatest long-term goal. Is to help evolve the current model of Samgola from a democracy to a technocracy. You might ask yourself? How is that different from a democracy? Not by much. It is simply having people of the educated field hold office in what they had learned to be...here is an example."
"I am laywer you see. Had been a lawyer, retired now. Now...you wouldn't want me repairing your car would you? Fixing your teeth. Checking your pulse? No. I wouldn't know how to do it and if I tried I might mess things up..." he explained. "This is what the STU sees as the key problem plaguing Samgola. Ruling a government, should be like organizing a farm. A plant. You have people who have special skills - who fit most there, where they belong. A man like me. You wouldn't want me running our entire Agricultural center now? Would you? I am a lawyer. My job is to defend and translate it for others."
"That is our hopeful goal in the future. That when you, the people elect any of us, or those whom you think might be qualified. That those you elect ARE qualified in their job. You have a man, in the Department of Justice - who actually knows anything about the law..." he spoke - as the blunder of the DOJ had been already seen twice in a row in Samgola.
"That however - is years, decades, generations ahead. We still have many ways to go before then. Let us return to current times then. At the moment, the STU is no different than the others. Except, we try to hold ourselves to a higher standard than the others. Our platform is simple - any man is the forger of his own destiny. To that end, we seek to cut spending - cut taxes. We are already in debt to other foreign powers. We can't remain so - we must clear out our debt. But this does not mean, we can not accept other ideas or trades with other nations."
"It is the goal of the STU do both cut taxes and encourage growth through self-determination. It is time, for every man and woman - to work to his freedom and success. It is the job of the government, to make sure he has all the tools and protection he can have. No more or less. At these rates, I am surprised anybody has managed to keep pay taxes at all. We need to reduce taxes, for everybody. Both the people who are earning, and to those whom own business so they can grown and expand - and provide more jobs for other people."
"The plan of the government is understandable but it is short-sighed. As the saying goes - give a man a fish, and he is fed. But only for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he will be fed for a day, a week, a year - and later on sell his fish to others more," spoke Nhara Nereal - finishing up for the day in the Kamidye Cultural Center.
Spend 200,000$ on a budget to help fund this gathering and organizing - to pay for the renting out of numerous Cultural, Sport, Educational and Mall Centers for the event.
We humans are rather resilient creatures - and we have yet to scratch some avenues of research and technology. Due to either moral, religious, economic or political reasons.
In all honesty, conflict breeds progress - and once the initial shock is survived, mankind would usually either find new ways. If something proves costly or unable to be reached - say coal or land - then you adapt and start developing new ways or you die.
When basic survival is on the table - you either adapt or you don't survive.
