Name: Kerisia Republic (Celt Language) (Kerizia) (Russian) (Such as England, the United States of America or France) Demonym: Kerisian, Keriser History (WIP): Kerisia is old nation of people, protected by its geography; the island was exotic and foreign to others. It was land of beauty and eternity. Its people were proud race of warriors, priests, and philosophers. Life before the conquest for the people of Kerisia wasn’t so good. A failing empire which was shook by a civil war and a massive famine afterwards left it weak and ripe for other nation to exploit. In this case, Sturvia who slowly conquered the nation by pieces, fighting against the Kerisian who opposed them. Sturvia gained control over Keris on 1879 marking the beginning of Sturvian rule. Parts of Kerisian territory was directly ruled by Sturvia while other parts were ruled by surviving local kingdoms who pledged suzerainty and fealty to the Empire in exchange to remain autonomous. Kerisia was slowly conquered and colonized by prisoners and failed revolutionaries by 1879; it was under full control of the empire. Under the empire it was known as the Colony of Keris (WIP). As a colony it was a backwater with its main industry being agriculture. It was one of the poorest colonies in the Empire and was net importer of migrants which led to a massive Kerisian diaspora. At the advent of the 19th century, the Kerisian Independence Movement was established by many of those that wanted independence included the descendants of the failed revolutionaries and prisoners, the natives of Keris, and transported several ethnic groups from different parts of the Sturvian Colonial Empire that hated their overlords. The opposing group against the K.I.M was descendants of loyalist colonists who came voluntarily including loyal native Kerisians and transported ethnic groups that were loyal to the empire. Eventually as the empire fell, dissidence occurred on the continent requiring more of the empire to send troops to quell riots. Then on 1929, the revolution began and the Kerisian Independence Forces succeeded in defeating the empire and the loyalist on 1935 kicking out their overlord. Many loyalists Kerisians fled to the empire after the civil war. It was victory for Kerisia though was bloody and destructive. More than half of the population died in the civil war and industrial infrastructure was destroyed in a nation that recently began to modernize. The nation was poor by the time of the Great War but made progress. High crime rates were common throughout the land. A way Keris made money during the Great War was through their own people, poor men who volunteered as mercenaries for a particular superpower. The money they gained in the Great War was sent back to the government to support the nation. Ever since the Great War, Keris has seen greater prosperity as a nation though the country faces many challenges ahead. The high literacy rates created a generation of thinkers and questioners who are dissidents of the so called Democracy of the nation and created new political movements and parties in Parliament. More so, the industrial infrastructure of the nation lags behind making it difficult for the nation to exploit its rich resources and lastly, the impending threat of powers that wish to exploit their homeland. Government: Parliamentary Constitutional Republic Head of State: (WIP) National Anthem: WIP Economy: Keris is perfectly described as a Mixed Economy Kerisia under Sturvia was a backwater agriculture economy. It was only in the early 1900s that Kerisia began modernization which was disrupted during the Civil War. Agriculture is still a dominate industry though President (?) encouragement of heavy industry led to the creation of several state run companies to mine resources such as iron. Though do to current technologies, it been hard to extract the resources out from the land and has been costly. Due to this the government has allowed some foreign companies to establish operation here though there are heavy protectionist policies concerning foreign companies. National Religion: WIP Population: I have no clue. Geography: I won’t fill this up yet. (PLEASE be sure to identify where on the map you are, preferably by posting a clip of the region you wish to occupy. We may have to move you around to make it work. Don't be shocked if you don't get all the area you requested.) Demographics: Kerisians (Celtic based people), Sturvians (Slavic), Biringania (Malay based) Notable Locations (An overview of important cities, military bases, political prisons (if any) and World Conclave Historical Landmarks (which is to say, along the lines of the Taj Mahal or the Pyramids at Giza)) Cities: Kerisium Ardaeternia Sacermaga Regime Personalities (Important people in your country; leaders and the such, people that factor heavily into your RP. At the very least, the leader, your WC delegate and, probably, your minister/secretary of war/defense at the very least.) Institutions (Major institutions of the nations, such as legislative bodies, corporations and, most importantly, the military.) Military Numbers Active Duty Component Total: Army: Navy: Air Force: Other: (Such as KGB/Waffen-SS/Pasdaran/Other type troops -- internal security, or paramilitary forces)

<Snipped quote by So Boerd> I've been mulling that over, torn between something Asian or Slavic inspired, but definitely communist flavoured. There are widespread protests in my nation according to the roll, so think reactionary Russia dealing with upstart commies and anti-monarchists. What are you going to do, Boerd? Perhaps we can then start with creating two different ideologies. <Snipped quote by shadowkiller912> Since Boerd declined, I'll say yes. From what I have of my history, that could tie in with a revolutionary movement on the homefront. Pulling back from fringe territories/colonies coincided with the formation of the new regime. Imperial overstretch wrecking havoc all around. I'd say my nation has been on the rebound since the latter part of our World War II equivalent.
