While dominion of Sol eludes them, their expansion efforts have gained them control over fifteen stars, and thirty-six terraformed and colonised worlds. The last census of the population concluded that it maintains in the region of thirty to thirty five billion citizens.[/i] [b]Nation Description[/b] [i]The NSNV originally came into being after the colonials of Venus declared their independence from Earth. Such a declaration was naturally met with violence and conflict from the forces of Earth, not wishing to lose their hold on the first extraterrestrial colony mankind had ever endeavoured to create. The colony was built around an uncorrupted system of a democratic republic, with power being held by a great council of representatives of the sixty three nation states on Venus. Venus was primarily a scientific community, the first colony was headed by scientists and engineers, so it was only natural for the colony to nurture an interest in technology that, in only a few short years, exceeded that of Earth’s. This allowed them to effectively do battle against Earth’s much larger forces and still come out on victorious, though some still only consider the original war for their independence to be a pyrrhic victory, with an astounding number of casualties. However, since their achievement of independence, the NSNV has continued to grow into a galactic power that few wish to trifle with. [/i] [b]Nation Involvement[/b] [i]The NSNV was the first to discover Anuria among the stars, and theirs was the diplomatic ambassador that was assassinated within the first years that sparked the conflict. From there, it has been almost a pride-fueled vendetta for the NSNV to come out of the war with a victory, no matter the cost. In their eyes, they were the first to set eyes upon the world, and their republic agrees that it should be theirs at any price.[/i] - [b]Technology[/b] [i]The NSNV rely on fairly advanced technology, especially within the early days of their independence. Not being capable of bringing powerful arms to bear would have meant they, to this day, would still be a subsidiary of Earth. It is now a universally recognised fact that the states of New Venus are a highly capable militarised nation with high spending in defence sectors.[/i] [b]Navy Description[/b] [i]The NSNV rely heavily on a myriad of smaller frigate craft and a small number of highly lethal (and often gigantic) battleship-class craft to conduct their space-borne operations. Most space craft within the Venusian navy is in some capacity capable of orbital bombardment, either with conventional bombs or energy-based protonic lances.

Like their space-borne counterparts, they utilise a mixture of conventional bombs and kinetic projectiles with a small number of deadly energetics to decimate their foes.

The infantry division handles the majority of basic soldiers and is the most numerous division of the Venusian ground force.

Tell us a little about the kind of things that your faction uses regularly on the battlefield.[/i] [b]Emplacements and Deployables[/b] [i]Give us an overview of the deployable hardware your nation employs. This can range from anti-infantry sentries to anti-aircraft turrets.[/i] [b]Headquarters[/b] [i]Give us an overview of your base of operations of Anuria. This can be a heavily fortified base or a massive bunker. This is a fairly creative field, but, again, is more of a context field. You won't have much interaction with this.[/i] [b]Persons of Importance[/b] [i]Detail important people in your nation. This is an almost purely contextual field. You will NOT be controlling these characters under any circumstance. They are merely for your expendable cast to reference and aspire to (or deify). [/i][/color][/center]
