Nation Thread Template and Info

[acecipher]

Nation Threads are meant to be detailed, encyclopedic summaries of a nation's geography, statistics, and other requests, that will later serve two purposes:

• To be a reference for another person playing the country at a future date
• To help me make stats for this fantasy game

Why threads? So that we can have discussion, and also to allow especially inspired players to contribute in-character reports, extra historic vignettes, or other ephemera they feel relevant to their creations.

However, for the purposes of stats-making and such, I'd appreciate if those who are submitting nation threads to format their posts in the following way:

Please title the thread with the full/formal name of the nation.

NAME: Name of Nation [Common name that is the reference)

[Map Reference Image goes here]

Ideology: General guiding principles of the nation (what someone would say are the base patriotic ideas)
Government Structure: Actual forms of governance that are found in the government
National Leader: Optional. Feel free to name national leaders or the like. THey can be historical or ahistorical
Author for this Nation: Those who would have a claim to making up the lore to this nation, at user's discretion can be more than one individual.
Domestic Power Sources: Important groups, blocs, and interests within the nation, that can give the government stability, or possibly foment rebellion if they aren't tended to.
International Allies: Any nations this one has a strong tendancy towards.
International Antagonists: Opposite of the above.
Military: Brief overview of how developed the nation is in military tech, how organized they are, etc. I'll assign numerical stats later (unless I give someone the specific go-ahead but I reserve the right to modify as GM)
Specific Technologies: Optional, anything you feel they'd have a specific monopoly on, though you'd have to give a reason why it's only theirs, and this one is especially subject to my approval.
Defences: Any especially fortified locations within the nation, as well as descriptions. Optional.
Economy:
Conflicts and Issues: What are the major questions within the nation? (Optional subject to GM discretion, but favored, in most cases).
