Welcome to the Hostren Nation Encyclopedia, a collective of
information containing public details from every sovereign
nation. Here, a list of the existing nations is compiled as well
as basic information about them. For example, regional maps.
This is also where you get to apply to make a new state and
begin your plans for world domination.
Applying for a New Nation:
Firstly, make sure you've read and understood the forum rules
and all the stickied posts in the University. Once that's done,
you're going to want to take a look at the world map to find a
place for your country where nobody else's settled. For obvious
reasons, you can't have a city where somebody else's country
is.Keep your territory sensible though.
Once you have an idea of where you want to be, you're ready to
apply!
Application Template:
The following is a template for you to use when applying (With
examples in brackets). Most of the fields are to help you flesh
out a nation with a decent backstory and an idea of how it is
right now and where it's going to be.
REMEMBER: DON'T POST YOUR NATION OUTSIDE OF THIS THREAD UNTIL
IT'S BEEN ACCEPTED.
ALSO REMEMBER: POST MAPS IN .PNG FORMAT ONLY WITH NO
ANTI-AILIASING. OTHERWISE YOU GET BLURRY, LOW QUALITY STUFF AND
YOU'LL BE REJECTED.
ANOTHER THING: ALL LARGE IMAGES SHOULD BE SPOILERED, IT'S NOT
THE MODS JOBS TO FORMAT YOUR POSTS.
Nation Name: (Communist Republic of Scavia)
National Flag: (Insert imgur link here with img tags)
Location on the Map (Include both international and regional):
Capital City: (Savia)
Government Type: (Proletarian Dictatorship)
Economic System: (Communism)
Leader Name: (Premier Skalvi)
Ruling Political Faction: (Communist Party of Scavia)
Most Followed Religion / State Religion: (Orthodox Scavian)
History: (Insert a few paragraphs about how your nation came to
be. It doesn't have to go back to prehistoric times, just
something where your nation began to form and was molded into
what it is now.
Be long winded. This is your backstory.)
Do not post WIP nations here

Nation Name: The Republic of Kelstrom.
[spoiler=National
Flag][center]
HTML http://i.imgur.com/a3SqHT1.png[/center][/spoiler]
Capital City: Kelstrom City.
Government Type: Democracy (Two Parties).
Economic System: Mixed.
Leader Name: President Albert Ernst.
Ruling Political Faction: The Unity Party
Most Followed Religion / State Religion: State Atheism; the
worshipping of religion is prohibited in public, and religious
buildings are disallowed. The most popular outlawed religion is
Bazerianism.
[spoiler=Historical Timeline]Pre-Unity:
Before 1200 - The island was separated into multiple
city-states. Kelstrom, the largest, was used as a central trade
point for all cities and towns on Kelstroni Island. Despite a
few minor conflicts between the smaller city states, the island
was primarily in a state of peace.
1238 - The Kelstromic and Nervarian War of Kelstroni began.
Lasting just 2 years, and resulting in status quo, both cities
signed the Pact of Corvaz Isle, the first written non-aggression
pact on the isle.
1241 - Traston (formerly, Trastox), after diplomatic meetings
with Kelstrom and Nervaria, added their state into the pact. The
three main factions on the island now rejoiced in peace.
1285 - Talks began concerning the three cities merging to form a
single state. Hosted in Kelstrom, it being the island's home for
education and philosophy, Kelstromic diplomats convince the
other cities to live under the Kelstromic flag.
Post-Unification:
1712 - After 400 years, Kelstrom is now firmly stated as the
capital of the island. Two major political parties have formed:
the Unity Party (a party focused around the idea of a unified
island), and the Separatist Party (a party focused on separating
the island back into it's former city states). Both parties
consist of sub-parties, such as the Unitary Socialists, or the
Separatist Democrats. The two main parties then elect their
desired ministers depending on the outcome of the sub-elections.
1759 - The Unity Party, composed primarily of Socialists and
Liberals, win the island-wide vote with 72% of the votes. This
is mainly due to their policies regarding social care reforms
and the introduction of welfare systems, such as minimum wage
requirements, and basic free healthcare. Although these systems
are poorly introduced, they begin to set the guidelines of
modern Kelstrom.
1800s - The revolution of industry reaches Kelstrom. The
population distribution of the island shifts, with people
emigrating from the agricultural hub of Traston, to the
industrial cities of Kelstrom and Nervaria. Railways are
introduced, and with the amount of vehicles rising, an extensive
road network is issued to connect all cities with ease. The
grand Kelstromic Tunnels begin construction also, and cheap
ferry rides are provided by the government.
1910 - With taxes on the rise, the Unity party begins to lose
support. However, a huge amount of progress has been made in the
previous decade. Although lacking in military knowledge and
experience, as well as technological ideas in other fields,
Kelstrom's public health systems are vastly superior to
Kelstrom's neighbours, and other countries.
1918 - The first major terror attack of the decade occurs. With
130 people dead, the government investigates the reason as to
why the attacks occurred. Analysts suggest that the culprits
were related to a radicalised religious cult. Public outrage
grows throughout the country, and military law is enacted for
the first time in Kelstromic history to try and rest the masses.
1920 - Terror attacks continue, despite martial law enacted. To
crack down on the terror attacks, all religious proceedings,
public worshipping and gatherings are temporarily banned. The
number of attacks drop over time.
1926 - Martial Law is no longer enacted, however due to the
success of the religious ban, it is still enforced.
1931 - Small religious gatherings in private are now permitted,
however regulated. Open speech regarding religion is not allowed
however, and punishable by a short prison sentence. The
population begins to calm.
1940 - As war begins to brew around the world, both the Unity
party and Separatist party vow to not get involved in external
politics until the fighting ceases.
1945 - With war ended, Kelstrom resumes diplomatic contact with
other countries.[/spoiler]

[spoiler="The Rocinate Commune"]
Nation Name: Rocinate Commune
National Flag:

World Map:
HTML http://i.imgur.com/w7kIH7a.png
Anthem: The International by Billy Braggs
Regional Map:
HTML http://i.imgur.com/E3UG1fZ.png
Capital City: Eugen
Political System: A form of communism called Luxemburgism so
called after Rosa Luxemburg. It is much like council communism
but without a vanguard party or even a communist party. It still
practices elections at a central level even if most of the power
lies in local federal councils.
Governing Body: The Rocinante commune is mostly council
communist. Imagine a federal communist state. Each local area
elects a few people every year who's job is to make important
decisions. At any time a revote can be held if a petition is
signed by enough people. A person can not be elected more than 2
times for a local job.
From each of these local councils a few people are selected to
regional councils. These regional councils decide about more
important and more wide-effecting questions.
From each of those a few are selected to the National Council.
The national council determines things that affect the whole
nation. This includes military, healthcare, research and the
space program.
A leader is elected every two years. He or she is to represent
the country in other countries. While he or she is mostly a
diplomat they also have the power to veto changes. You can not
serve more than 2 terms here either. To be able to apply you
need to have served 2 terms at any council level.
Ideology: Luxemburgism
Economic System: Planned economy. (Planned by workers)
Leader Name: Erik Falk. Next election takes place in 2 years.
Most Followed Religion / State Religion: The state is secular,
accepting all religions as long as the religion does not
organize or wield power.
While there used to be a large following to the religion
followed in the Kratiras Empire it has since died off. Currently
the majority religion is simply atheist. The civilian population
is not forced to be religious but religion is not banned either.
The currently most followed religion is 'The Teachings of Rakus
HTML http://kerbalrp.createaforum.com/general-discussion-4/religion-applications/msg89/#msg89'.
History:
Roughly 2,000 years ago the Kratiras Empire conquered the
peoples living in the Rocinate area. With the fall of their
empire 1,500 years ago Rocinate left as a united Kingdom. The
kingdom lasted for almost the entire 1,500 years since the fall
of the Kratiran Empire.
80 years ago the economy was in a severe depression because of
the latest kings horrific trade policies. Widespread corruption
and high unemployment had the people doubting the kings
authority. The king's popularity was at an all time low.
People started considering alternatives to the monarchy. An
ideology from Eruaenia called communism became secretly popular.
The works were about an alternative economic and political
system where power was distributed to the people.
52 years ago the king was assassinated on his 50th birthday.
This gave the needed spark.
The workers (proletariat) acted. They wanted neither capitalist
or noble. In a violent war against the corrupt government that
had almost complete support from the military the revolution
managed to win. Reason being that for every massacre or
execution by the government the peoples will simply grew
stronger. Another thing that had a large impact was
international brigades from communist parties all over the world
aiding the people in the civil war.
After the war any remaining nobles and any known corrupt
businessmen were executed. A new constitution was created and
power was given to the people. The people and no one else. There
has been a few insurgencies in the mountains where the old
government managed to hide, but without support from the people
the old government enclaves made no progress.
It has now been exactly 50 years since the revolution ended.
Celebrations are prepared..
The major cities are:
Eugen:
Eugen is the capital and an old city established by the Kratiran
Empire. Not much remains from that time though.
The large city features a busy port and beautiful forests to the
north.
Fredehamn:
The city was renamed following the brutal civil war. Fedehamn
means "peace harbour". It was the last major city to be taken by
the revolution.
While not as large as Eugen it also features a busy port and is
an important town for trade.
Gothe:
Gotha recently saw a period of larger than usual growth. The
city is more modern than the others and has very few old
buildings.
Urfort:
Surrounded by mountains and the sea Urfort has always been and
still is an important fortification. Hard to conquer and easy to
defend.
Roeke
A medium sized fishing town. Important for its strategic
location in the crater sea.
Jaernbo
A medium sized mining town. Houses important mining industry.
Wilitary will be made after systems are finished.
[/spoiler]
Note: Kratiran empire is Deltas nation and we have some shared
history as neighboors. It will make more sense once he posts his
nation.

[center]Nation Name:
The Grand Republic of Kratiras
Flag:
[spoiler=Flat]
HTML http://i.imgur.com/Z1zkZ0e.png[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Rippled]
HTML http://i.imgur.com/PWGZGKl.jpg[/spoiler]
Head of State:
Archon Ioannes Arsenikos
Government Form:
Oligarchic Republic
The government of Kratiras is something of an oddity for the
modern world, relatively unchanged in hundreds of years. The
nation's leader, known as the Archon, is chosen by popular vote
from amongst the leaders of the eight "patrician" noble houses
of Kratiras. Election cycles can last from days to months until
one candidate achieves a majority of votes, and are usually long
holidays in which the patrician houses hold lavish festivities
in an attempt to buy the votes of the commoners. In practice,
the winner of one of these elections tends to be he who spent
the most money -- though factors such as prestige, piety and age
are also taken into account.
Once chosen, the Archon reigns for life (though it is rare for
such a term to last even a decade, as the head of a dynasty is
officially defined as its oldest male relative), but does not
have absolute power -- all significant decisions must be
ratified by a council consisting of the heads of the other seven
patrician houses and the Archon himself, where the Archon's vote
counts for three and that of each dynastic head counts for one.
The greatest drawback of this style of government is its lack of
decentralization -- the people of the countryside, sparse though
they are, have never traditionally been favored by the Kratiran
government, as it is much more difficult to campaign in the
mainland than to cater to the wants of major cities.
Economic System:
Mercantile capitalism.

Capital:
Kratiras
The jewel of the Republic, the city of Kratiras stretches
lavishly across the river delta that forms the end of the River
Chimaros. It contains an impressive portion of the nation's
entire population, and is the political, economic and
administrative center of the nation. Kratiras is also a renowned
trading port for sailors across the globe, serving as the
gateway from north to south and east to west.
Major Cities:
Old Kratiras
Once the great capital of the Kratiran Empire, Old Kratiras in
truth now stands more ruin than city -- though a remarkably
well-preserved ruin besides. Its most impressive features are
the towering, terraced marble pyramids and hanging gardens that
stretch along the riverbank, beautiful even in dilapidation.
While the entirety of the city is techincally a cultural site,
squatters and lowlifes have been known to make their dwellings
on its outskirts.
Apenanti
The first colony of the Grand Republic, Apenanti was first
founded to quarry the island's great marble cliffs. However, it
was soon found that those same bluffs were in fact hiding a
great mineral reserve -- perhaps left over from the meteorite
impact that created the bay. Since then Apenanti has grown into
an impressively-sized city, though it remains significantly less
wealthy than the capital (to which the vast majority of those
mineral bounties are shipped).
Thesi
In truth, Thesi is more a trading post and customs office than
city, sitting astride the tip of the bay's northern hook. Ships
patrolling the entrance to the bay tend to dock at the city to
take on supplies, and particularly impatient traders will often
offload their goods at Thesi, whose buyers send those same goods
to Kratiras to sell at a profit.
Paraliakos
The second colony of the Republic, Paraliakos is a
modestly-sized city that subsists primarily on farming and
fishing. Agriculturalists from far inland will generally travel
to Paraliakos to distribute their food.
Makrios
Founded as yet another trading post, the expansion of Makrios
has been limited primarily by the small size and lack of
interesting features that its island possesses. Nevertheless,
the city serves as a useful stop for sailors and helps to direct
trade from the north and east towards Kratiras.
Kanalios
Perhaps the second-largest city in the Republic, Kanalios sits
on the river delta formed by the eastern branch of the Chimaros.
It is in many ways a "little Kratiras," being very similar in
culture and even architecture. The city's most famous feature,
however, is the series of canals for which it is named, said to
be large and deep enough at their widest for three warships to
sail abreast.
Profylaki
Profylaki would hardly even be considered worthy of this listing
at all if not for one thing -- the presence of a rather large
military base within its limits that helps to protect the
northern border. As such, the majority of its population are
soldiers or work in some capacity for the nation's armed forces.
Religion:
Kratiras is a melting-pot of cultures and faiths, and
understandably has no true majority of religious believers.
However, perhaps forty percent of the population, including
seven of the eight major patrician houses, are adherents of the
Temple of the Sealord, venerating the titular lord in question
-- said to be the founder and god-king of the Old Kratiran
Empire, he was able to control the waves and used these powers
to conquer the entirety of the River Chimaros. Perhaps most
interesting about this religion is its belief that those who die
beneath the waves are guaranteed a place in the Sealord's watery
halls -- a facet that many historians believe helped lead to the
Kratiran domination of the waves some several hundred years ago,
as their sailors were utterly without fear of drowning.
Other prominent religions in the Grand Republic include the Cult
of the Watersnail, who believe that the titular creatures can be
used to see into the future, and the Driftwood Temple, who often
burn the driftwood that washes up on the nation's shores as an
offering to their nameless gods.
History:
The history of the Grand Republic of Kratiras is long and
storied, and to understand it fully it becomes necessary that
one hear it from the beginning.
The initial source of the men who would eventually settle along
the River Chimaros is not entirely certain. Modern historians
and archaeologists believe that modern Kratirans are descended
from nomadic hunter-gatherers who arrived from the continent's
frigid northwest while following the migrations of some animal
that they hunted. It is thought that innovations such as fishing
hooks and rudimentary animal husbandry were developed by these
proto-Kratirans around the same time period in which they
arrived at the source of the Chimaros -- as a result, a shift
was made to a lifestyle of fishing and farming.
The history of the Kratirans is then marked by gradual migration
downstream, perhaps as a result of moving away from frigid
weather and towards the river delta's fertile floodplains.
Regardless of the reasoning, first settlements in the Kratiran
Delta are believed to date to thousands of years ago at least.
From there, we must fast forward to about three thousand years
ago, when the Kratirans first began to demonstrate an interest
in conquering the area around them. Sailing the Chimaros on
wooden river-galleys, they subjugated the river from bay to
source. This is marked as the founding of the Old Kratiran
Empire.
The Old Empire's reign was marked by ever-increasing military
advancement, and eventually the domain of the Kratirans
stretched from the crater bay to the frigid northern oceans,
though still primarily along the river. It was during this time
that the city of Old Kratiras reached its height, as succeeding
Emperors built themselves ever-larger and more splendorous
palaces.
In the end, though, as with most of history's empires, the true
enemy of the Old Empire turned out to be itself. The Emperors
became decadent and apathetic in times of peace, holding the
nation's ever-shrinking zone of control as unimportant whilst
they still held their marble pyramids. Meanwhile, a short
distance to the south of the Old City, what would become modern
Kratiras was founded by traders and sailors looking to remain in
closer proximity to the sea. Eventually even the commoners were
fed with the decadent rule of the Emperors, and a number of
prominent noble houses -- which would eventually become the
modern patrician dynasties -- sided with the now-rich merchants
of the New City to overthrow the Kratiran Empire.
A significant number of generations later, the development of
fast ships that could weather the dangerous waters of the ocean
allowed the now navally-focused Grand Republic of Kratiras to
dominate the coasts in a way that the Old Empire never had. This
medieval time period was marked by relative internal peace as
the Kratirans established a number of fruitful trading posts and
settlements along the hiterto-untapped eastern coast. Eventually
the entirety of the lands from river to sea were reintegrated
into the Republic, though they remained largely unpopulated.
Perhaps one of the most influential of these colonies was the
establishment of a permanent settlement on the island of
Apenanti. The isle had previously been colonized off-and-on well
into the classical ages, quarries established to harvest its
bountiful marble cliffs. As the isle's population swelled and
new mining innovations were developed, however, a greater
discovery was made -- the island was incredibly rich in minerals
of all kinds. The sudden influx of rare metals as well as coal
fuel sparked an age of greater innovation in Kratiras, and soon
the era of steam and musket had arrived at the riverlands. The
Chimaros filled with smoke as steamships made record times up
and down the river, and ironclad warships began to dominate the
seas.
Since that time, the history of Kratiras has been marked
primarily by gradual technological innovation and the passing of
time. The nation's government has remained relatively stable for
hundreds of years -- a steady, if not completely practical, line
of "democratic" succession punctuated only once by the
Insurrection of Paraliakos, in which the dynastic leaders of two
noble houses that had produced an Archon in a dozen elections
plotted to sieze the titular city and thus starve the capital
until their demands for abdication of the current Archon were
met. Instead the revolt found itself turned on its head as the
people of Paraliakos itself rebelled against the rebels who held
it, and by the time that a blockade of the city by the Kratians
was established the Insurrection had already been smothered in
its cradle.
A new dawn now begins to rise on the lush farmland and
shimmering isles of the Grand Republic. As the world has become
ever more globalized, the Kratirans now find themselves thrust
upon the world stage. What will happen? Only time may tell.

History:
[spoiler] The nation of Fuyuriku was founded over two thousand
years ago by the first of the Korishima Dynasty, Korishima no
Fuhito. During this time the island was invaded by foreigners
while various tribes fought each other for control of the
island. According to legend, Fuhito, the son of the god
Ten-no-Fuyu was sent to the island to unify its people and save
them from the foreign invasion. Calling upon the divine power of
his father, Fuhito drove out the invaders and was subsequently
crowned Emperor and the island nation named Fuyuriku for the god
whose power had saved them.
It is known that some time after Fuhito's death, the nation
fragmented into several different warring factions. Over one
thousand years of history were lost to obscurity with the
destruction of the Great Kouteitochi Library during 'The Great
Struggle', a civil war fought between two opposing governments
in Kouteitochi and Hantou. The government in Hantou succeeded in
winning the ten year conflict in 1582, removing the Emperor from
power and establishing a military government lead by a general,
or Shogun. The Emperor was dethroned and placed under house
arrest, holding virtually no power in the new government.
The Shogunate attempted to enforce a policy of total
isolationism, banning foreigners from entering the country and
attacking vessels that came into Fuyurikuan waters. This went on
for many years, and as other nations began their ages of
exploration, Fuyuriku secluded itself and lashed out at change.
Eventually, the rest of the world grew fed up with this behavior
and soon the time of the Shogun would come to an end.
In 1858, armed merchant vessels from Eruaenia showed up at
Nokaiyou, demanding the opening of all Fuyurikuan ports to
international trade. Determined to keep his policy of
isolationism intact, Shogun Shirosensou Hiraku refused their
demands and quickly found himself at war with the Eruaenians.
When Shirosensou called for Fuyuriku to fight to the last man,
it seemed the war would be long and bloody. The Eruaenians
quickly announced their intent to reinstate the Emperor and the
tide of the war quickly turned. When Eruaenia gained the support
of Korishima Loyalists, the 'Restoration War' came to a swift
and decisive end.
By the next year, the Shogun lay dead and his forces in
shambles. The private armies of nobles loyal to the Korishima
Dynasty aided the Eruaenian forces and placed the young
Korishima no Ryuunosuke on the throne as Emperor. As a sign of
friendship and goodwill, the Eruaenians withdrew immediately
after the war and left rebuilding of the country to Emperor
Ryuunosuke. Under Ryuunosuke the waters around Fuyuriku were
free for foreign ships to sail and outsiders were allowed into
the formerly reclusive nation. The ease with which the
Eruaenians had made Fuyuriku realize how behind the rest of the
world they were and the nation quickly began to industrialize in
an attempt to catch up. During his reign, Ryuunosuke disbanded
the private armies of the nobility and conscripted them into the
recreated Imperial Fuyurikuan Army. He increased and modernized
the military, as well as funding education and establishing the
Ryuunosuke Academy. Ryuunosuke reigned for fifty four years
until his death in 1912.
After his death, his son and the current Emperor Korishima no
Takahiro ascended to the throne. During his rule, Emperor
Takahiro has dedicated most of the nation's budget towards
funding the advancement and growth of the military. As a result
of this, living conditions for those in the middle and lower
classes have been dropping. In the past decade, resentment
towards the Emperor has grown among the populace and several
attempts have been made on his life. Tensions are at an all time
high and unless the desires of the people are heard, the
situation looks ready to boil over.
