Nation Headquarters

[Daggertooth]

This thread is for the Nation's Role play. To participate you need to have a nation created in Nation States. If your participating in Nation States you do not need to participate in the Role play. It would also be best that you have your nation in the Charby region or at least have some interaction with it as the RP is based on interaction between various nations in the Charbyverse.

So what goes on in this thread? Basically the same as in the character sheet threads. Each Person gets -one- post that they can modify as their nation grows. No more than -one post per person. There is one exception in that I will post a second post after this one, I do not want my own nation intro to clutter up this post.

This is -not- "just" a place to state your stats. It is a place to post anything you want known about your nation. Your history, what your slogan means, symbols behind your flag, current and past relations with other nations, philosophy, anything at all. Keep in mind that anything anyone says should not be taken at face value, we are dealing with nations. Half truths and propaganda abound. Do not act on them here, thats for the RP. Also, decisions you make for your nation on the nations website will affect your standing here and in the RP.


Daggertooth

[magicklorelai]

The Queendom of Gaea Genesis was founded by refugees from another region of the world, who escaped into the ocean and found their way to the region of Charby the Vampirate by pure luck. They made their home in the cliffside overlooking an ocean, meaning control of the beaches below them. The cliffs serving as a natural fortress, the refugees safely grew to a full population.

Little is known of the refugee's reasons for leaving their previous home, except that the women had been monstrously mistreated. Vowing to never let that happen again, the fledgling village became a matriarchal society, under the keen leadership of Then-Lady Genevieve Reynefold the First, who so named Gaea Genesis for the untouched landscape and thriving life that served for their New World, and new possibilities. The Village became a Queendom, and in time, a tremendous castle was built at the top of the cliff, overlooking the ocean to the west and the forests to the east. Lady Genevieve became Queen, starting the line of Reynefold Queens.

A magnificent port was built for the purposes of trade, but business has never been a large emphasis for the people of Gaea Genesis, who considered civil rights and political freedoms much more important in the long run; lest there be a repeat of the horrible persecution that brought the refugees to this land. Still, without modernizing too much, the markets in Gaea Genesis are not limited to haggling merchants, but few popular chains have made it into the area.

It is noted that there has been a longstanding feud between the Queendom of Gaea Genesis and the domineering self-proclaimed "Serene Republic", but there is little to say. Though the immortal leader, Daggertooth, has claimed that the founders of Gaea Genesis were illegal squatters, records clearly show that the refugees landed shortly before Daggertooth's, and thus any prior claim to the land was moot. However, upon sending emissaries to spread the word of the wonderful freedoms and beauty of their land, Gaea Genesis was dismayed to learn that said emissaries were slaughtered in a wrongful execution. The evils of the Republic of Daggertooth have never been forgotten, in part because he and his unfortunate tyranny-choked people have continued hostilities every few generations, only to have been forced out of the land of Gaea Genesis by not only the Queen's wise strategies, but the inept, underfed, overworked soldiers of the Republic who were forced to turn tail and run by the power of our Women At Arms. They are currently at a truce, but should Daggertooth attack again, Queen Olivia keeps a watchful eye on the intelligence from his corner of the region and will be ready. Meanwhile, the UN and the other countries in the nation acknowledge that the Queendom of Gaea Genesis is a remarkably peaceful and non-hostile nation, who complied with requests to set aside arms in a show of trust of the other nations.

It is most essential to note, however, that the citizens of the nation are far from helpless.

The current Queen, Queen Olivia Reyneford, has seven children: Five sons, and two daughters. The four eldest, all boys, came from a previous marriage that failed to produce a female heir. Queen Olivia remarried, and after one last son, finally gave birth to Princess Maribelle. The youngest, Princess Ganymede, was born two years later. The five elder brothers, Princes Hawthorne(aged 26), Timothy(25), Hartner(24), Cuthbert(23), and Richard(21), are currently seeking brides of noble descent, with little luck thus far. Perhaps a union with a noblewoman of a different nation might be in order.

The flag was designed by a loyal group of female soldiers after a war that had challenged the fortitude of a nation ruled by a woman ended in victory. The blues to represent the ocean that supplied life and the national animal, the Merferret(born in the ocean, but grew legs at a certain stage of their development), the yellow swirl to represent the legendary Pool of Life believed to be somewhere in the caves of the cliff, and the sun representing the dawn of their power as a Queendom, as opposed to a patriarchal society.

The motto, "The Lady of Legacy and Love" refers to the Queen, any queen who comes to power in Gaea Genesis, for she is always a lady destined to be a part of a powerful legacy, and a lady who loves her country with all that is in her. This has been proven time and time again, as queens have sacrificed for the good of her people in the name of love.

Currently, Gaea Genesis does trade with the Queendom of Zolah, trading fresh, healthy, natural fish and the shedded skin of merferrets(a powerful magical component) for Syren Scales(another powerful magical component).

The stunning environment is testimony of the community who loves the land they live in, currently second in their region of the world, Charby the Vampirate.

THE DAILY REPORT:
"The Queendom of Gaea Genesis is a small, devout nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Military funding has been stripped back, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is relatively low. Gaea Genesis's national animal is the Merferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Charby."

Comments on other nations in the Region:

The Most Serene Republic of Daggertooth: Arrogant dictatorship of tyranny and oppression that should be viewed with suspicion at all times and never, EVER be trusted, the vile, contemptable, evil smudge on the map.

The Queendom of Wolfchild: Considered an ally

The Queendom of Zolah: ...Unusual royal family. Considered an ally, and one of the few nations interested in the naturally occuring resource of Merferret Skins. Poor choice in allies with the "Serene Republic".

The Disputed Territories of The VII: Confusing as of yet. Hope to learn more soon with future communications.

The Rogue Nation of Lysinias: Has the most adorable flag this nation has ever seen. A giggling marshmallow? Ingenius! This queendom finds it difficult to believe they are taken seriously, however.

The Most Serene Republic of Daggertooth


The Most Serene Republic of Daggertooth (TMSRD) is one of the oldest and best recognized nations in the Charbyverse. It boasts the citizens with the Highest IQ rating and is known for its mostly untouched rainforests and above average beaches. The citizens enjoy life under Lord Daggertooth's "absolute freedom" policy and rarely have to worry about mundane things like elections and policies, the population ranking second in trusting the wisdom of their leader and third with defensive capabilities. The people also have no worry of being squashed by big business or by having big business alter national politics in their favor allowing for a people friendly economics.

Bragging Rights:

The Origins of Daggertooth is kept secret and largely unknown by the outside world. It is known that he is either long lived or immortal as TMSRD has been around for little over three and a half Centuries. It is said that his arrival in the Charby Verse was almost instantly met with the unification of several local tribes and an establishment of TMSRD. The fledgling nation soon became a dominant force in the region and quickly expanded through military means much more advanced at the time and strategies unseen in the region before.

While expanding several nations were encountered one of note was the Queendom of Wolfchild. With well established borders, military, and history in the region it soon became aparent that an alliance with such a group would be greatly beneficial. They've had cordial relations ever since with the alliance mostly trade related over various ports.

It soon became apparent that expansion at the current rate, despite superior technology and military strategists, would not be a practical. Thus a consolidation effort was undertaken in an effort to strengthen boundaries and protect land claims.

It was at this time that an invading force was sent by the Illegal empire, "The Queendom of Gaea Genesis." They were small in number but attempted to rouse decent among the people. The invaders were dispatched quickly and efficiently and through interrogation it was revealed that this Queendom was squatting on land claimed by TMSRD. An inquiring force was sent to determine the extent of this illegal settlement and was met with hostilities. A larger force was sent to remove the squatters but issues back at the capital recalled the force.

In the three hundred years since the initial invasion from the Queendom of Gaea Genesis relations have not improved. Political issues at home and the development of other nations have restricted TMSRD's desire to launch a full scale invasion to expunge the squatters. Sixty years ago marked the largest assault against Gaea Genesis which was once again recalled due to political pressure back home.

One of many reasons for pulling back the army was due to growing tension between TMSRD and the Nation of Labosnia. At first it was simply a mutual military build up which died down from time to time allowing for smaller skirmishes against Gaea Genesis. But their harassment kept TMSRD from a full assault against The Queendom of Gaea Genesis.

Two hundred years ago Daggertooth met up with a vampire named Margarette Zolah. Though she disagreed with Daggertooth's political agenda she was like minded enough that they quickly became friends. She had political ambitions of her own and was quite a brilliant military leader. Daggertooth appointed her Commander of a portion of his army and together they won a few key victories that opened up Labosnia for a killer strike. One Hundred and fifty years ago saw the downfall of Labosnia and the official creation of The Queendom of Zolah. The new Nation and TMSRD were instantly Strong Allies and military campaigns if not joint were at the very least reviewed by each other and assisted upon in some way. At least until recently.

Relationships between TMSRD and the Queendom of Zolah became strained recently when Zolah refused to participate at all in the war against the Queendom of Gaea Genesis. Zolah even refused to go over military strategy. To TMSRD it was a grave insult and political ties were even stopped for several tense months. They have since continued and have returned almost to normal. Though TMSRD still disagrees with the Queendom of Zolah on their position with the Queendom of Gaea Genesis.

Today TMSRD'S continued stance is that the Queendom of Gaea Genesis is illegal, a position that is harder to maintain as the Queendom has been officially recognized by other nations. Politically Pressure has increased in recent years to ease the tension between their relationship to stabilize the region. All attempts to solve this feud have been met with hostilities and even requests for financial reparation for squatting on TMSRD land has also been met with hostilities. TMSRD had hoped that with the new Queen, Olivia Reyneford, relations could improve. But it has become more than obvious that she is more than willing to continue her nations legacy of lies.



Policy and Philosophy
On War: TMSRD's position on war is as a last resort. Talking is always the best course of action and peace the most sought after result. Neighboring nations need not worry about the build up of military units on their borders.
Military : Military participation is compulsory and training very thorough. TMSRD's military is second only to the Dominion of Ryodragon1, Though recent mining for Uranium ore is thought to change this soon.
UN: TMSRD's official position is that the UN is corrupt and wasteful. Member nations only act on what they want and ignore protocol against them. The UN is also prone to making false allegations on the classification of various nations. TMSRD currently has a class action lawsuit for defamation against the UN currently pending. A second lawsuit was issued recently claiming the UN's label of TMSRD as the least nice people in the region is false and defamation.
Environment: The rainforest is a valuable resource in "free" services. Erosion control, water purification, a windbreaker, and oxygen creation are just a few noteworthy services provided by the forest for free. There is also potential to cause the medical industry to explode. However a recent discovery of a vast Uranium depository under the Rainforest was more than can be ignored. A small portion of the rainforest was allowed to be converted into a uranium mine. Despite this TMSRD still boasts an Environmental record 5th in the region. And plans are in the process of strengthening Environmental protection.
The Region: With many Nations in the region fighting for power it may be nessisary to form a Regional council to stabelize the region and solve international conflicts that may otherwise bleed into neighboring nations.
Big Buisness: If given too much strength in the national economy they will learn that they can manipulate governmental decisions simply by threatening an economic crash. Thus they are illigal and buisness is dominated by small family owned industry.


National Motto: "Freedom to do what I say."
The Motto follows the idea of absolute freedom and freewill. Every citizen is free to choose their path in life, they can choose to do whatever they want. Like life there is always consequences to a person's choices. Defying Lord Daggertooth, though well within the individuals rights and freedoms, is punishable by death. So the citizens of TMSRD, as those of any nation aside from anarchy, know that there are consequences to their choices and act accordingly.

Flag: Known as "The Blackstar" or "Watchful Eye"
The flag is revered as the symbol of TMSRD and any act of defacing within the nation is swiftly dealt with. It is largely based on Charby's lucky shirt.
There are Seven stripes representing the magic and power behind the number seven. Seven as a Lucky number, The seven levels of hell, seven deadly sins, seven wonders of the ancient world, seven primary colors, seven notes on the musical scale, seven days to create the earth, just to name a few.
The color Blue is like the everlasting sky, eternal, everlasting and unpredictable. Like the vast ocean, a dangerous beauty, calm one moment; violent and treacherous the next.
The Color Purple is like storm clouds blotting out the sun. Like the twilight darkness that allows the creatures of the night to roam the earth.
The combined colors of Purple and Blue make up the outer eye and represent the veins of the innocent who's blood sustains the nation. And who's sacrifice is never forgotten.
The Sun represents the lifeblood of the earth. That which sustains the world much the same way the citizens sustain the nation.
The sun is black Representing the darkness that will one day consume all and the manifest Destiny that one day, like the sun, Lord Daggertooth will one day spread his freedom and benevolence to those once less fortunate and thus nourish the earth.
The sun Doubles as an eye representing the everwatchful eye of Lord Daggertooth. Benevolently watching every move of his citizens in an ever growing attempt to make their lives better.


Officialy stated Position on other nations:

The Queendom of Gaea Genesis: Illegal Squatters. They are not recognized as a nation.

The Queendom of Wolfchild: Strong Trade alliance.

The Queendom of Zolah: Strong Allies. Though recent tension has been created through Zolah's alliance with the Illegal nation of Gaea Genesis.

The Disputed Territories of The VII: Conserned about their plight and potential destability their conflict may bring to the region.

The Colony of Tamias Minor: Friendly relations.

[Zolah]

The flag represents a chipped tooth from a vampire from the battle to take over labosnia.


Their leader Zolah the first is known as one of the vampire kind, she was one of the first of his lineage to come to that part of the charby island. after doing some rather harsh introduction to the state wich was called ' State of Labosnia ' Zolah took over that country and turned it into a vampires dream, the Queendom of Zolah.

In the beginning before Zolah heritage took over Labosnia or now known as the queendom of Zolah had very few millitairy activitys.
it wasnt until recently when Zolah took over the nation they started to take more serius thougth about weapons, it would be devastating if vampire hunters began to attack and teh country wouldnt have anything to defend with. there is rumors that they are making vampire soldiers as a preparation for war

The royal family of Zolah has been tranferred to the land, they have a quite big family and all are not a vampire. To become a vampire you have to give birth to 1 family member and pass the age of 20, then you have qualified to take the dark embrace.

The current family now is the founder - Margarette Zolah and her grand children - Elisabeth, Robert, and Niles. The first Zolah wich walked this earth was Hector Zolah, he was living in the beginning in Ireland. though when he embraced Margarette he disappeared to not be found.

Since the Royal family is vampires they decided to agree to the cloning of humans, since then they could breed a special human wich they would feed upon and they wouldnt make the population worry about getting killed by a hungry vanpire in the nigth.
By making certain programs where people wpuld come and clone themselfs, it is both used by people who cant get kids. instead of cloning one the make two clones wich one is brougth up as a blood vessel for the royal family while the other child is given to the childless family. This is looked upon as a cruel way, though a few people even come to the queendom to do this. one other way also to get clones to the royal family is that they make clone programes where the person that gets cloned gets paid, though then they will be carefully monitored so no diseases or other things will polute the blood.

Views of other Countrys - ( will not add anything before actually rping a lil between them )

The Most Serene Republic of Daggertooth - is an ally, helped us to
take over the land Labosnia. Great Allys, Siblings in arms! ( instead of brothers.. lol )


The Queendom of Gaea Genesis - currently making imports and exports of magical ingredients, Merferrets skin for Siren Scales.

______________________________________________________

The Queendom of Zolah is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 20 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Syrens are considered a delicacy, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zolah's national animal is the syren, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the ragos tokens.

My name is Liz Agne and i am the owner of the paper and we will give you a fantastic paper! wich will be delivered weekly.

[Wolfy]

The noble Queendom of Wolfchild was founded over 700 years ago out of a desire to show the foolish people of the world that wolves are essetial, and that they can, in fact, live peaceful with humans. The experiment was a rousing successs, and the small nation grew powerful. The first Queen was found to posses the rare ability to talk to wolves, and as such, a powerful allience grew between the citizens of Wolfchild, both four-legged and two. THe ability was found to be able to pass down the generations...but only on the female side of the family. The current queen, formally known as Wolfchild the IX, is said to be the wisest, and most powerful of all. This nation is a peaceful one, and has no wish to be at conflict with its neighbors. That is not to say that it is weak, however, and if threatened, will respond with equal volence.

The Daily Report:
The Queendom of Wolfchild is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate population of 12 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime is totally unknown. Wolfchild's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Charby.

Wolfchild is ranked 3rd in the region and 45,964th in the world for Most Beautiful Environments.

The VII

The VII are mysterious power which has recently made itself know in the region. While little is factually known about them they claim that Kenwood is their ancestorial home and have returned to it with little regard for their neighbors. Officially the government has stated that it is in a state of internal conflict which might be more appropriately called governmental collapse for reasons as yet unknown. Reports of the region have been sketchy and outsiders entering the country and mostly disappeared, though some have returned with reports of violent low tech conflict between several factions.

Government
Nei Fang has thus far been the only member of The VII to make any sort of official statements. It is unclear if he is spokes person or some sort of leader in The VII.

The internal governmental system on The VII unresolved and The VII seem to be in an civil conflict as such it has few official stances other then their resolve for internal stability.

(OOC: If you are interested in RPing with The VII, perhaps investigating the VII or supporting a faction to bring stability to The VII please PM me and I'll set up a thread.)

[Seth Asathi]

The Dictatorship of Asathi has existed for the better part of three centuries. The land, granted to Duke Asathi VI by a foreign king (Mostly as a way of getting rid of threats to power peacefully.) was a stretch of mountainous terrain about three hundred sqare miles in size. The original settlements were literally dug into the mountains, providing shelter, and a good degree of concealment from those who later sought to take the land.

Duke Asathi VI had several enemies, including several smaller noble families who sought to claim some of the land as their own. It was not long before civil war broke out. Duke Asathi was a threat to power because of his unusual charisma, and knowledge of tactics. After several devistating ambushes and the discovery of numerous spies in the army of the lower noblemen, a surrender was offered. Duke Asathi refused to accept, and slaughtered everyone who opposed him. He was called the Black Sunrise, for his famous assault which ended the war, two score against a hundred, fought within a black cloud of smoke obscuring the sunrise. The fight lasted less than an hour.

The Duke never married, but did have a short affair with a maid which resulted in his son, Asathi VII, who was trained from childhood to take over the family business, ruling a nation.

Asathi VII was in his mid thirties when the first invasion happened. Fortunately his recent expansion to the border watch proved a wise investment, and the civilians had taken shelter in the old sections of their cities, built into the depths of the mountains.

His ideas on education also served him well, every man between the age of 12 and 25 was a competent fighter, and was immediately drafted into the army. While every woman from the age of 10 to 40 served as field medics.

The invading army was easily lost in the winding tunnels and cave sections that made up the various cities. Most were cut down by the infantrymen, some starved to death, and there were numerous reports of better than two hundred men flattened when a cave section was dropped on their head.

The war ended as abruptly as it started, Asathi VII was called a hero, and it was easy for him to turn the nation from a constitutional monarchy to a dictatorship. Noone questioned his authority, as he'd never steered the country wrong. Well into his seventies, he was not short of willing women to provide a male heir. They provided several, who fought with eachother constantly.

In the next fifty years, the heirs were as a thunderstorm in a clear sky. The land fell to chaos, and threatened to tear itself apart. Eventually the third born, Seth, Slaughtered his brothers in their sleep. Bringing peace back to the land. He was crowned, as was his right, by birth, by conquest. And he too had more than one son, but he killed the firstborn, to keep the second, Seth II.

Seth II was known for his rebuilding of the nation. Reforms to education and industry, resulting in a cheap, but very effective work force. His alterations to the laws of industry allowed the larger businesses to operate more like sweat shops, though the workers were well compensated for their suffering. The educational standards were reduced to save the young time. Condensing a decade of knowledge into six years did come at a cost, but not one that would be noticed immediately.

Seth III was known for his further reduction of educational standards, classifying people at birth to the job they would perform. If they didn't keep up, they were drafted into the army.

Seth Asathi IV is the current dictator. He has already established himself as a militant leader, though is not aggressive twards neighboring nations. His militant ways are focused almost entirely on defending his own land.

Recent decisions include, but are not limited to; the reduction of freedoms such as speech and protest, elimination of minimum wage laws, and preservation acts on the wildlands, which are almost as beautiful as they were under Asathi VI's reign.

[Milky the Man]

The Colony of Tamias Minor


The Colony of Tamias Minor, the only country on the isle that is run by Chipmunks, is, as you may have guessed, not a full country, but a Colony for one. The Kingdom of Tamias is located on the tip of a peninsula, and is a great center for trade, but also very focused on it's military. Tamias Minor is run by Milknut XXXI, humble servent of King Oaksprig IV. King Oaksprig IV is very concious of the Military of Tamias. He has begun to create more modern weapons, like Arrow Carts, that shoot fifty arrows at a time, and quickly reload. His smiths are able to create plate armor that is thick enough to block shortbow or crossbow arrows, and allows for lots of movement. Other modern weapons give the Kingdom of Tamias a sharp military edge. Tamias has no elections, it's kings are given their power by devign right and the right of sucession.

NOTE: If you read my webcomic, and want no spoilers as to the creation of the Kingdom of Tamias, don't read the below history.

Tamias Minor is a relatively new colony. However, the Kingdom of Tamias has an ancient history that is so surrounded by myth, no chipmunk can know the full story. However, this is the belief widely accepted: Tamias, the God of Chipmunks, rose from the east as the sun, and following him sailed the Chipmunks on their ancient ships. They sailed on the eastern sea, until they came to the great peninsula. There, Tamias (the god) became flesh, and led them to build a great golden city, where they could live. It was named after him. The King and his sister were not born of any two chipmunks. Tamias grew two oak saplings at the city gate, and uprooted them, with the two babies clinging to the roots. After they had grown, the male became the King, and the female became the queen. This was not a marriage, but a rule of two siblings side-by-side. They led a crusade against the Squirrels, fighting for land, claiming it for their God and their people.

End spoiler.

The current king wishes to claim more land, overseas. He sent out one of his loyal servents to colonize a piece of land on the edge of the Charby Isle, giving it acess to the sea. The nation comes into a vicious conflict between several nations. Gaea Genisis, fights for love and truth. Dagertooth fights for power and control. But Gaea is like, a totally WOMAN nation. And I can't get behind that.

Policy and Philosophy
On War: Tamias maintains that the most holy god of the sun wants to give the world to his people, and wishes them to claim what they can. Chipmunks are the chosen people.
Military : Tamias has a fine military, supplied with the best weapons available.
UN: Bunch of dummies.
Environment: Nature is part of life. Chipmunks have always held a deep respect for nature. Trees are supposed to be a gift of Tamias.

National Motto: ""The sun will shine upon all chipmunks who are faithful."."
This basically means that God will honor and protect those who remain faithful to him. To these chipmunks, bliss and peace will be rewarded.

Flag:
The flag is an altered version of the Tamias flag. The regular Tamias Flag has a green backround, a golden sun, and thirty two golden stars in rays out from it. These stars on the regular flag represent states within Tamias. (each branch of four is a state. There are eight in all.)

The Tamias Minor flag is similar. The green backround and the Golden sun are the same. However, instead of the golden stars, there are ten rays of light. These represent the ten laws:

1.) Believe in Tamias, the lord of all. If you don't, we'll kill you.
2.) Don't kill people, it's not cool.
3.) You don't want to know what happens to thieves.
4.) Do not speak heresy against the Church of Tamias.
5.) No cheating on your spouse, because then you might break up.
6.) If a citizen does not pay their taxes, their estate is forfeit.
7.) Squirrels are not to be protected by any chipmunks. Any chipmunk concealing or withholding or protecting or otherwise fraternizing with squirrels will be harshly punished.
8.) Any squirrel found in the nation or it's lands without permission from the government will be killed on sight.
9.) No man may strike a woman.
10.) Treason is punished with death by torture.

These are the first laws. More have been written since, but whatever.

Anyway, there is also a Black hammer, and a Black Chisel. These represent the building of a colony, and the strength of the government.

Daily Description:

The Colony of Tamias Minor is a large, devout nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate population of 29 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, the Environment, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, nudity is frowned upon, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is moderate. Tamias Minor's national animal is the chipmunk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Tamian.

Tamias Minor is ranked 12th in the region and 96,199th in the world for Nudest.

(((I like the line about the lemonade stands!)))

*Deep breath* Here we go...

General Description:
The Nomadic Peoples of the Scaryverse are generally a chaotic bunch, often outcasts from 'proper' society. It has been suggested that the founders of this 'nation' actually came from Somewhere Else. Possibly Canada. People have been dropping in out of nowhere ever since. So far, it is the only 'nation' to be mainly populated by imaginary creatures.

The Nomadic Peoples of The Scaryverse is a small, devout nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 10 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although Healthcare and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is relatively low. The Scaryverse's national animal is the hallucination, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pen.

That's right, kiddies. The hallucination.

Nationalities: As previously mentioned, the denizens of the Scaryverse are from all over. The main population seems to be 'imaginary' creatures; Werewolves, vampires, ghosts, zombies, faeries, boogeymen, elves and so on. Then come the Animals (note the capitalisation); Ferrets, wolves, deer, platypusses, bats, newts, lizards, and far too many others. Humans are widely considered a minority, and as such, there is little racism. Unfortunately, there is a mild tension betwen species, resulting in 'specism'. Humans live in their own happy little delusional tribe that follows the rest of the group around, often falling behind technology wise, and generally non believers in magic. They seem to call wherever they live 'REAL-estate', and seem oblivious to the obvious pun. This causes the reident muses much, much amusement.
