Just wondering - are any of these landmasses defined by culture? Are these places comparable to real-world continents, or are we going to have Arabs next to Nordics? I'm wondering because, if I do decide to join (I'm still not sure I will), I'd like to be somewhere my people make sense.

Not particularly, I mean so far those that have been closer to warmer biomes and deserts tend to be more Arab like, but there is not specified requirement that you nation must emulate any real life counter part. In fact, this RP might as well encourage you to do the opposite.

I was thinking something reminiscent of Austria (with a super traditional and, perhaps flawed, militant monarchy/nobility at its head). Playing Austria in a few other roleplays has made me appreciate and respect Austria, so I figured I could play something similar here.

Do whatever you want man. Just be sure to read the rules and understand we're here to lay back and have some fun fantasy, crazy airship filled NRP. :D

Glad to see your still with us, by the way.

Not accepted. Figure out why. I'm tired of repeating myself.....
(HINT! The answer may lie on the first page!)

Also those islands waaaaay to the east of you aren't just a couple miles away, just be warned it may be hard to properly protect them. Not sayin you cant have them, just understand the challange that maintaining them may present if a rival nation took interest in them. ;)

Nation's Name
The Greater Republic of Helvalion

Nation's History
The Greater Republic of Helvalion is a relatively new major power to the world stage in comparison to other nations. In the beginning, it was two states, both monarchies. For nearly two centuries, they had always been at odds with one another, constantly at war, or planning for war during rare peace time. The people of both lands grew very tired and hateful of the monarchy that would send them to die over petty differences. A unifying rebellion force overthrew the monarchy at the dawn of the new Industrial Era, establishing a new form of representative government that had not been tested. This system of a balance of powers, representation, and establishing the new laws of freedom were very successful in unifying and rebuilding the nation. Its new found size and strength is owed to immigration. At first, the small nation lived in relative isolation, with fairly small population. Though as news and stories of the nation's ideals of freedom and democracy began to spread, many people immigrated to Helvalion. Soon the nation began to grow rapidly, with this population growth came industrial, economic, and territorial growth. The nation's culture grew more and more hateful of old ideals and traditions as many of its people had fled their homelands for those very reasons. This forged the Greater Republic into the progressive nation it is today. A place always willing to warmly accept new ideas.

Nation's Geography:
In the west near the coast line, the landscape is covered farmland, taking advantage of generally flat terrain and fertile ground. Here you also find the major port towns and cities. As you head further east, the lands become more uneven and rocky. Here is where most of the industrial centers are, particularly the city of Drenthe, a place home to many large industrial factories and a major Ragnite quarry. Here the lands are also dotted with larger pine forests and a snow capped mountain range.

Economy:
The Greater Republic has a Mixed Economy with various areas being either Market or Traditional economies. The Government does regulate various areas of the market, but ultimately it is a free market. In terms of its outlook on foreign trade, the nation often seeks new materials and oppertunities with other nations, always willing to trade. It exports Ragnite, an ore that is found in some locations around the world, but is in very high demand as it can be refined to power anything from your street lamp to your heavy rolling tank. The Greater Republic has very large deposits located in their mountains and is continually researching other ways to use it. The nation imports Black ore and other industrial materials as well as a few exotic materials.

Technology Overview
Helvalion is a place that welcomes new ideas and technologies with open arms. Thus is has a very diverse array of technologies on varying levels of society. In terms of military, the most notable advancements has been in its armored division. Helvalion tanks, thanks to their construction and Ragnite powered engines, are usually well armored, well armed, and surprisingly very mobile. They are well developed tanks that serve as the backbone for Helvalion's offensive might. Their Air Force simply relies on durable, easily maintained aircraft that can support ground troops, but is very lacking in terms of any airship technology.

Military Overview
Population:
6,286,900
-Army Overview-
The Helvalion Army focuses on primarily being a highly mobile, offensive force that uses blitz tactics and aggressive maneuvers with their armored vehicles and artillery to overwhelm an enemy whether they are attacking or defending. They also take advantage of the large amount if railways in the nation and use armored artillery trains for long range bombardments The Army is often given the most attention by the government, much to the dismay of the other two branches.

Standard Helvalion Infantry
Helvalion Infantry are distinguished by their dark blue uniforms and flag patches on their right arms. They use a wide variety of weaponry, using both bolt action and semi automatic rifles as well as sub-machine guns and semi-automatic pistols. They also posses shoulder fired anti tank weaponry and anti tank rifles.

Helvalion Light Tank (A6-2)
This is the Helvalion light tank, armed with a 75mm cannon, it is oddly heavily armed for a tank of its size and role. It's armor is lacking, even with the added skirts on the side, so it's main purpose is usually infantry support and reconnaissance. It is very swift and mobile both on and off road.

Helvalion Medium Tank (A7-1)
This Helvalion tank is the multirole of its tank class. It has decent armor, decent mobility, and a 76mm High Velocity cannon. It can support infantry and engage other armored targets, though it still isn't a heavy slugger. Usually it utilizes its speed and mobility to do hit and run tactics on enemy armor.

Helvalion Heavy Tank(A8-4)
One of the more newer additions to the armored forces, this is Helvalion's second heavy tank. It is armed with a hefty 88mm cannon and possesses very good armor. While its speed suffers from the weight, a very powerful Ragnite engine still keeps this thing on the move, making this a very deadly tank to both infantry and armored vehicles.

Helvalion Tank Destroyer(AT-3)
This tank's main purpose, as the name may tell, is to hunt and destroy other tanks. It has a lower profile and is armed with a 76mm High Velocity cannon. Combined with is great speed and mobility, it specializes in ambushing enemy targets and disappearing before they can properly respond.

Helvalion Armored Personel Carrier
This multiroled half track is mainly used for infantry transportation. It can carry up to eight men at time and is armed with a 12.7mm machine gun. Other variations include a mortar carrier and 57mm anti tank gun carrier.

Helvalion Armored Car
This is a very fast armored vehicle armed with a 20mm autocannon. Its main roles are reconnaissance and infantry support, but it is very vulnerable to any sort of anti armor or high calibur weaponry due to its light armor.

Helvalion Light Infantry Support Vehicle
This armored wheeled vehicle has slightly better armor than the armored care and posses a 37mm cannon as well as a 12.7mm machine gun. It has very good speed and mobility.

Helvalion Heavy Infantry Support Vehicle
This wheeled armored vehicle is a serious threat to tanks in any urban environment. While its armor lacking, its 75mm anti tank gun and 37mm autocannon combined with its great speed and mobility allows it to excel at hitting enemy targets and running. Other variations include an Anti Air version and snubbed 88mm Howitzer for artillery support.

Typical Armored Train
This armored train posses defensive turrents and a large, very heavy artillery cannon used to smash enemy lines to pieces.

-Navy Overview-
The navy is the branch that suffers most from neglect. While the quality of their ships is decent, their numbers are small and are mainly used to simply guard trade routes and the waters if the Greater Republic. However, the new leader of the Helvalion Navy is ambitious and seeks to build the Navy into a serious naval force to be reckoned with.

Helvalion Battleclass
A heavily armed and armored battleship type vessel, it is one of the more common ships. Its most notable armaments at its two 36cm cannons and four 26cm cannons. They are deadly heavy hitters, but are very vulnerable to submarines and aircraft.

Helvalion Destroyerclass
This is the newest and now second most common ship design of the Helvalion navy. It is a support ship that posses great anti air and anti submarine capablities as well as very fairly swift in the water. Its dual 88mm cannons also help it its ability to engage medium naval targets

-Air Force Overview-
The Helvalion Air Force is somewhat new to the scene, but has great promise. Currently it is mainly used to support the army and the navy, but with the newest addition of its first heavy bomber and talks of developing airships, the branch may evolve into its own in the coming years

K-17 Multi Role Fighter
This push engine aircraft benefits from being a rugged, powerful plane that has good climbing speed, dive speeds, and over all a very fast aircraft. It does, however, suffer from having slower turn times than other aircraft, thus it utilizes hit and run tactics as well as favoring head on dogfights and avoiding turn dogfights.

KH-14 Heavy Fighter
This twin engine aircraft is actually much more maneuverable than one would think and is all around a decent heavy fighter. It does, however, suffer from poor climbing abilities.

KB-4 Attack Aircraft/Medium Bomber
This twin engine aircraft also benefits from great speed and acts as a swift air to ground attack aircraft. It, of course, lacks in maneuverability.

B-7 Heavy Bomber
As previously stated, this is the newest addition to the Greater Republic's Air Force. This eight engine monster of the skies is armed with plenty of heavy defensive turrets, large bomb load, and long range bombing capabilities.
