This NRP is an entirely statisticless one. Everything you say about your country, you do so in writing and in storytelling. You don't need insanely long posts (like Vilage or Aaron) but what you do needs to be of fairly good quality.

We only just started about a month back, so there isn't much history as of yet. Read people's nation sheets on the character tab and you've got most of all the background.

Shyri is the German Empire, you'll have to discuss that with him if that's what you want to do.
