I will make a mockup of a nation, but i wonder if it is ok if i had a revolution? Where the government i will play ingame emerges and takes hold of the state? It would be a swift and stern one, but not a very long one. I will write up the current government, i will add the government that takes over as a hider.

[b]National Anthem:[/b] A nice song with flowing rhythm. The song describes Northburns beautiful landscapes and how the singer wants to live there. [b]Languages Spoken: [/b] Northern (100%) Novain (73%) Third placeholder (23%) Northern tongue isn't a simple language to pronounce, nor is it a central language in the world. Therefore few learn it. It is a raw and heavily phonetic. [b]Religious Inclination:[/b] The region has a mixed religious beliefs. While Caritas Orthodox (89%) is the state religion, few actually practises it to an extent counting as religious.

[b]Important People:[/b] [i]King Herbert XIV Galt.[/i] 67. Ruled since he was twelve, he is a ruler few care for and he holds little power. He is also passive. [i]Queen Teresa Galt.[/i] 62. Been married to Herbert for fortythree years, she moved from the Novain court to provide a lasting diplomatic bond. As part of the Northburn diplomatic exit from the commonwealth. She was a symbol of future relations. [i]Crown princess Teresa II Galt.[/i] 32. The first daughter and lawfull heir to the throne after the rewriting of the royal laws in 1968 during the exit from the commonwealth. She is rather popular, but not as a ruler but as a tv figure. Where she hosts several shows. [i]Prince Kurt Galt.[/i] 34. Prince in Northburn, mayor of Bergaheim. Holds little public support, nor public agitation. He simply is. [i]Former prince Erik Galt.[/i] 35. Died recently in a boat accident. [i]President Magdalena Havtorn.[/i] Current leader of the ruling conservative party. She holds some public support but her views are seen as 'old school'. [i]Minister Svend Verner.[/i] Leader of the up and coming nationalist party. He holds great popular support. But the nationalist party is seen as 'trouble' by many outsiders. [i]Håkan Bergamun.[/i] Leader of the Communistic environmental party. The environmental side of the party is highly popular, the only reason it holds seats at all in the parliament. [b]Embassies:[/b] Commonwealth. Stationed in Nordahammar. (The place that's gonna be south of Northburn). Stationed in Bergaheim. [b]Allies and Enemies:[/b] Northburn has somewhat good relations with most. They hold no official allies nor enemies. [b]Government Status:[/b] Constitutional Monarchy with very little power for the monarchy. [b]Econonic Status:[/b] Northburnian crowns. Or "Kroner" in northern. (KR) The currency is mostly nicknamed "Bränningar" by the populace. The crown is 0.47 Yarn. The economy is a newly instated limited state intervention system which mostly focuses on shutting down drastic drops in the economy. The economy is recovering from a low-turn. Otherwise the regular people have a rather good at GDP 32.000 Yarn. (I suck at math, how do i add the KR equivalent?) [b]Social Status:[/b] The recent economic depression has made the life in Northburn less extravagant, but basically none live in misery. The overarching majority of people in Northburn is in the middle class. The upper class however is actually more widespread in its wealth than normal. The middle class holds the majority of the votes in Northburn since every citizen holds one vote. Citizens have to be registered, and people are not born into citizenship. However, citizenship is usually granted to everyone who applies which can be done at 18 years of age. Which is also the legal age in Northburn. The school system in Northburn is highly successful and each child is taught a lot. This results in Northburns people having a high educational standard. [b]Military Status:[/b] The military has been lessened over the course of the economic depression, however during the 1940's several bases were built, and in the 1990's the military spending was rather high until the depression. Meaning the nations war materiel hasn't really been updated since the 90's. Compared to other nations, Northburns military is pathetic in size. The military research department is a monstrously monetarily efficient machine. Seeing several very high quality inventions prototyped with far less spending than some other nations. Northburn has high quality equipment at a reasonable cost, but little military spending so they don't have a lot of it. The Northburn military aircraft hold great quality, but few wants to buy them because of their low production rate. The northburn military defence force has a turretless tank of very high quality, it is capable of digging in by itself and has a very potent auto-loading 122mm rifled cannon. The sloped design of the tank makes it look like a wedge, which makes it highly resistant to incoming fire. The tank is not common however and its design was made in the 90's, making it superior back then, but due to 20 years without a replacement, a passable machine at best in the current years. [b]Military Structure:[/b] The military is a high quality and well equipped force that has their military service as their actual job. So it is what pays their salaries. The Northburn universal conscription was ended in the 2000's after a yearly drop in applications and funding since the 1960's. When the universal conscription was in effect all males of 18 years old served in the military for 8 months before returning to the general society. As it got less and less funding the amount of people actually accepted was what changed, so while everyone went to the conscription office, very few were accepted. Until the universal conscription was removed altogether. The military is commanded by the grand commander of the army. This position is currently held by Erik Vikning. The grand commander has the chiefs of the armies branches at his command. Chief of land forces, Leif Bjure. Chief of air forces, Tord Kolm. Chief of sea forces, Berit Geter. Due to living in the northern hemisphere, Northburn is a land with a warm summer, but a harsh and cold winter. The army is therefore superiorly trained in winter conditions. [b]Military Deployment:[/b] The military is spread out over Northburn in their numerous hidden cave bases. And in their open training facilities. Some are out on peace keeping duties. Total Manpower: 70'000 [hider=Northburn new order *Note this will happen in game, Only GM read Please. Thank you.* If you still want to read you may not act upon it since it would be some advanced meta gaming.] As the populace grow more and more weary of the conservatives ways, they realise that something new is needed. The nationalists have a new way. The nationalist party has grown more and more popular and shortly before the new elections, they act. With a daring move which is perfectly disguised as a bus accident, Magdalena Havtorn is assassinated along with several conservatist politicians. The nationalists win the election and the populace rejoices, the nationalists immediately begin with a massive push for the rebuilding of the economy and to build better infrastructure and employs hundreds of thousands of unemployed for the construction work. The economy is improved and support for Svend Verner goes through the roof! He reinstates the universal conscription which has held a cultural place in the populace, and also raises the military spending to some extent. He also adds a purity of nationality clause to the citizenship act in secrecy, which makes it harder for immigrants to receive citizenship in Northburn. He cuts religious spending in half and puts it towards school programs focusing on national pride and a choice between military history or mechanical engineering. Trying to provide an influx of competent researchers in all fields and an even deeper nationality. As time moves on, the economy is thriving, and the new model government is assumed. Gone is the monarchy, and the party manages to improve their might in the parliament by changing how the votes are counted. It is now basically 100% nationalist party in the parliament. It is here Svend Verner assumes the role of grand commander after falsely imprisoning Erik Vikning for treason. The official story went that it was all a grand mistake, and mr Vikning's honor is never inquestion and will be released and publicly apologized. But he is assassinated with a serum which is very hard to detect and makes it appear as heart attack. Which is generally accepted since mr Vikning was very old. In the end, Svend manages to turn Northburn into a dictatorship. After that, the nationalist party focuses on building more industry and to increase the army. Why do they need a big army? For defense against their neighbours who don't approve of them of course. Which is something the party works hard to emulate in media. Research is made to modernize the army, and to construct nuclear weapons. The latter in secrecy. The fleet is modernized and focuses on making strike forces with one modern battleship with several escorting vessels, with massive AA defence and highly advanced satellite guided artillery. All in all, Northburn plans to expand. By force. If this is not wanted, just say it. I'm also gonna feel for a day or two if i really want to join. But i will be clear with my choice and will decide before play starts. [/hider] [/hider]
