Leader name: Nishkan

Leader age: 20

Leader gender: Male

Civilization Name: Nisan

Pop.: 300 000

Government type: God-Dictatorship, where the current leader is worshipped as a God(not an actually god.) Leadership is passed down through series of five mental competitions between the current leader and the challenger, of which the current leader chooses three challenges and the challenger chooses two. A maximum of two challenges may be magical in nature, and the current leader chooses his/her challenges before the challenger does. If the current leader fails, then s/he has the choice between becoming an adviser to the new leader or retiring on state benefits. Should the current leader win, the challenger is executed.Only members on the Nishian(the name of citizens of Nisan) royalty may challenge the current leader. Should the current leader die without being challenged, then all willing nobility participate in a multi-player version of chess using one of the many custom boards owned by the state.

Ideology: All native Nishian people are superior to non-native Nishian people, and anyone who immigrates to Nisan has some sense although not as much as natives, and anyone who does not live in Nisan is an idiot besides those who have very clear accomplishments, and even those are slightly off their rocker for not wanting to live in Nisan.

What the culture resembles: It resembles Soviet Russia in that it is a communist country and that is has a corrupt government that looks after itself first and it's people second. Aztec culture in that is has nightly human sacrifices, usually criminals or people captured from other nations and that they build massive temples to their God-Dictator. Rome in that they have daily gladiator battles and that they are costantly looking to expand their borders.

Source of income: They export gold from their mines, as well as several types of legal and illegal drugs.
General History: Originally, the Nisan were a simple, violent tribe living in the jungle. Then the first God came to them as their savior and lead to victory against all their rival tribes. Eventually they moved out of the jungle to the smoother lands beside it, but still retained a vast knowledge of the terrain. Slowly over time their prejudice against others grew along with their reverence for their leader, who can do no wrong.
Other: They live beside a massive rain forest.

Leader name: Gengyo Ishinomori

Leader age: 32

Leader gender: Male

Civilization Name: Qutemara

Pop.: 500 000

Goverment type: Autocracy, when the leader dies his oldest son or daughter takes his place. Qutemarans ( people of Qutemara ) are very loyal to Ishinomoris ( current dynasty that has ruled over 300 years), they are willing to die for their leader. Every man must serve in the army until age of 40.

Ideology: Qutenarans are very interested in technology, they are friendly with another civilizations but not with immigrants.

What the culture resembles: It resembles Byzantine because of its strong despotism. Also a little bit Livonian Order because of its military traditions.

Source of income: Their main income comes from fishes and also they export iron ore from their mines.

General History: At the beginning there were 16 different families/nations ( all were asians ) that shared one big island. They fought with each other over thousands of years, but the strongest nation, Qutemara, united this island into one.

Other: They live on a big mountainous island that is surrounded by sea. Sea that is surrounding them is fully filled with fish. They look like Far East asians.

What the culture resembles: It resembles Japanese because Qutemarans look like asians

I'm fairly certain what your people look like has nothing to do with how they behave. And there are many types of Asians (Middle East, Indians, Russians, etc. too. So I think appearance belongs in Other.

Leader name: Kuthah Scevellign
Leader age: 52
(Kuthah has been in a state of paralysis for the past 7 years and since then many of his relatives have led the nation alibet for only a few months, at the present however Kuthahs Nephews Half brother is in charge)
Kae Shogo
26

Civilisation name: The Merchant Confederation of the Solus free states (More commonly known as Solus)
Pop. (Including all city states, lands and kingdoms owned by Solus) 439,000
Goverment type: Merchant State (Plutocracy/Oligarchy/Monarchy) The rulers of Solus Would have you and the people believe that the society is run by group of common lowly merchants that have the best interests of the nation in mind and perhaps this was once true but no matter what it may have once have been it is not that any longer. Solus has slowly been taken over by the richest family Which most nobles are a part of since polygamy is common practice, this family run state however has been divided by old family feuds, greedy siblings, devious step parents and cunning half siblings. This has been happening for the past 200 years and now nobody can definitively prove that they are the rightful heir which only worsens the situation.

Ideology: The only thing the elite of Solus care for is profit and power both of which are intertwined with each other. The common people however share simpler belief, that of which that the people should let all people into Solus no matter whom they are. Not only has this allowed a boon to the economy but also allowed a diverse culture to foul rush in Solus.

Source of income: Each city state has their own source of income which they ether sell to other city states in the confederation or sell them to other nations altogether.

Culture: The culture of Solus very much resembles the Italian city states of the Middle Ages.

Nuff said

I like to say first this is my first NRP so sorry if i'm not as good as you guys, Any advice/pointers would help out a tone

Leaders names: Bjomolf commander in chief of the Warrior's
Leader age: 34
Leader gender: Male
Civilisation name: Payshtha (means great dragon)
Pop. 90 000

Government type: stratocracy (kind of Military based democracy)
Ideology: To Look after the world as They believe that the people are this world are here as caretakers to the gods.
What the culture resembles: In a military capacity they resemble Sparta, trained from a young age to fight in war, but as religious purposes go they resemble Celtic pagans.

Source of income: Trading Food and ingredients from both animal and plant alike their biggest money drawer was the Snowberries that only grew in their valleys

General History: The Payshtha was formed during the first era when the Family's came together to celebrate the coming of life and light, They all agreed that it was their responsibility to protect the world and its creatures, by any means necessary, so a board of elected fighters and hunters as well as a civilian that would represent the common folk. Every year after the new year celebrations there would be a vote to elected the next round of leaders and representatives.
Their religion came from a mixing of all the families views and beliefs to satisfy the majority and the elders of each family teach the younger generations the history political and everyday life skills but once they came of age (10) they would be taken to be trained in a variety of combat from open warfare to grellier combat. They did have their weakness however, if it was a bad growing season or trade with the other nations dropped their economy would suffer, and being a small nation this could be devastating if prolonged, Or if they fort against a sea faring nation, though they could fight off pirates and raiders against a nation that lived by the sea they had little chance

Other: They lived in a long valley that stretched around the Northern tip of the planet meaning that anyone not prepared for the cold would struggle to survive,

Accepted. Reminds me of the Nords of skyrim cross the First Men of game of thrones.

[Stitchblades]

well both of those are based on Nordic folk which were primarily Norse pagan's which was pretty close to Celtic pagan so they do share similar characteristics :)
