Region: Astoria
not impossible. I made it.
My nation will touch every sector of a nation. I mean, how many nations cover the polymers used in their nation?
not a lot lol
Exactly!
I have way to much time on my hands.
That's one of the things I've always loved about Nation RP honestly, you can world-build as in-depth or as little as you want. It's also nice in that department because you can get more in RP in certain areas too if that's the type of RPing you enjoy

Evinagioni
Your troops should be around 2-3% of your population. Your military spending should be around 2-3% of a nation's GDP and cannot be higher than 10%.

Infrastructure Bill
Following a vote on it, the Security Council had officially approved a 150 billion dollar infrastructure project to build 14 new hospitals, and a new highway system, an airport, and a tunnel bridge in the State of Nyavintsa, our largest island, as there have been complaints of overcrowding in hospitals. This infrastructure is meant to tackle wider societal issue on the island as well reports of traffick jams and other issues. The project, excluding the tunnel bridge, is estimated to take 5 years if all things go according to plan.
Military research.
With the data we have received from the ongoing war in Hyland, the military has become confident in their decision to switch from a human army to a droid army, as casualties on the Hylandic side have minimized. With the ghost bat project and the Droid project, there has been some debate over whether the aging tank fleets of the CIS should be automated too. After months of research, a contract has been awarded for 6 billion dollars to Baktra Corps, a major robotics company to retrofit the tank fleet to standard, and a further 9 billion dollar contract has been awarded to the Techno Union, another major robotics and industrial company to create a brand new automated tank for service in the Confederate Army.

War Update
Hylandic forces have successfully liberated the initial town conquered by Olivian forces with their army bolstered by battle droids received from CIS. The conflict has crossed over into Unike and areas that haven't seen conflict since the Unikean Civil War are once again being placed into the danger zone. Help for Olivian forces is on the way though, despite a precarious situation in the homeland, Olivian numbers have been sigifnicantly boosted with forces from Uadidasi, Magna and New Evinio arriving. With the recent hospital ship strike by a fringe Hylandic Terrorist Organization, the entire Pact of Thalassia & Etheloria has now entered the war against Hyland as well.
the Uadi Air Squadron stationed in Hyland has begun intense bombing runs of the surrounding countryside leading up towards the hylandic capital of Naiwasa in conjunction with an Olivian naval invasion of the northern Hylandic coasts.
On the morning of July 1st 2037 the invasion begun without a hitch, first and foremost Uadi Air Planes swooped over the coast destroying any Hylandic aerial installations, only losing a few planes to bombardment from the droids and artillery positions along the coast . Following this the a beach-head was secured as Olivian and Uadi forces successfully pushed in land towards the Hylandic capital of Naiwasa. The advance has been ground to a halt though with the arrival of the main Hylandic Droid Army which is proving far more formidable than Uadidasi predicted. This war will certainly not be over anytime soon

Nyang joins the conflict in Hyland
President Hye-jin Park of Nyang stood before the National Assembly with a somber tone, addressing the tragic events that unfolded against the Royal Emerald Coast Guard humanitarian fleet. "It is with profound sorrow and unwavering resolve that I address the heinous act of aggression against the R.E.C.G. Eleos and R.E.C.G. Perseus," she began, her voice tinged with emotion. "The loss of countless innocent lives is an affront to humanity and a blatant violation of international law."
In unequivocal terms, President Park denounced the actions of Hyland military forces as cowardly and barbaric. "Such brutality against a humanitarian mission aimed at alleviating suffering is utterly indefensible," she declared, her words carrying the weight of condemnation from the global community.
"Let it be known that Nyang stands ready to fulfill its obligations under the POTE," President Park asserted with determination. "We will not stand idly by in the face of such brazen aggression. The defense of peace, justice, and the sanctity of humanitarian missions demands our unwavering resolve."
Turning her attention to the brave men and women of the Royal Emerald Coast Guard, President Park offered words of solace and solidarity. "You are not alone in this dark hour," she assured them. "The thoughts and prayers of the people of Nyang are with you as we navigate through these trying times."
As a demonstration of Nyang's commitment to its allies and the defense of humanitarian principles, President Park announced the dispatch of 12,000 troops, 30 light tanks, 17 medium tanks, 10 heavy tanks, 5 anti-tank and 40 armoured vehicles. In addition, 90 ships have been deployed to assist in the naval attack against Hyland forces. "Our actions underscore our determination to stand with our allies and uphold the values of peace and justice," she declared.
In closing, President Hye-jin Park expressed hope that peace would ultimately triumph.

The War In Hyland is BAD
Yūki sends its condolences to RER and Hyland for the shipwreck of the medical ship and, complying with PoTE's defensive clause, Yūki sends 70 thousand troops to Hyland, along with 20 tanks, and [REDACTED]. Archduchess Himari also sends her condolences and her forces.

Astorian Ambis
Worldbuilding the Presidential Palace
The Presidential Palace of Olivio is located on 3 Revolutionary Square, City of Hennepin, Federal Region of Koochiching and is home to both the President, Vice President and their families as well as their offices. The palace is also the location of the House of Representatives committee rooms and main seat of the House for voting and the same for the Senate and Supreme Courtroom. The offices for Senators and Representatives is located at the Congressional Palace which is connected by underground tunnels to the Presidential Palace, Senators and Representatives only come to the Presidential Palace to vote upon legislation. The Justices of the Supreme Court have their offices and store information and past cases in the Judicial Center which is also connected to the Presidential Palace through an underground tunnel where they come to hear cases and make their official rulings.
The cost of the entire Palace, including renovations and the tunnel systems, was the equivalent of 1.5 billion azumas and the lead architect for the building was Cass Gilbert, a control freak with OCD. He oversaw where each individual quarts block and pillar was placed, he inspected and decided every tiny detail. While many consider him to have been a pain to work with, the result was well worth it with the creation of a true wonder of architecture in Olivio.
Upon completion, the building drew praise from the architecture community, leading to requests for Gilbert to design Capitol buildings for many other important buildings, such as the Kannabec and Becker capitols buildings, and other notable structures.
The Presidential Palace is usually described as "Beaux-Arts", a modern term not in use when the Palace was built, but a style made popular in part by the architecture at the Chisago Exposition in 1893. In addition to being influenced by his time at the Chiasgo Exposition, the Palace's architect Cass Gilbert was inspired by McKim, Mead & White's Kannabec House. Gilbert wrote a note in the margins on a 1912 article on his work stating that his plan of the Palace had been greatly influenced by the one in Kannabec.
The building's structure consists of a steel and cast iron frame on rough limestone foundation walls resting on concrete footings. Guastavino tile vaulting forms the ceilings on both the ground and first floor. The structural elements of a building primarily consist of load-bearing brick and stone masonry walls and piers supporting steel-framed floor and roof systems. Care given in the construction of the original structure was so great that even far removed mechanical spaces not intended to be seen by the public were designed and built with a high standard of finish and design. East to west, the Palace is more than 430 ft (130 m) long. From ground level to the top of the dome's lantern measures 220 ft (67 m). Inside, the building has more than 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2) of floor space, or about 5,000,000 cubic feet (140,000 m3) of space.
The Palace dome is one of the largest self-supported marble dome in the world, being high enough to fit a 12-story building inside. The dome itself is actually made up of three domes or layers. The outer layer is a self-supporting dome made of Kittson marble blocks resting upon their own weight. Hidden inside is a brick and steel cone that supports the lantern and golden sphere at the top of the dome and provides an internal water drainage system, which helps avoid the heaving problem created by the freezing and thawing of Olivio's winters. Below that is the decorative masonry dome that can be seen from the inside, looking up from the rotunda. At the dome's base are 12 marble eagles paired with the columns surrounding the drum of the dome. At the dome's top is a columned stone lantern which is then topped by a finial globe covered in gold leaf.
The steps of the two grand staircases in the east and west wings of the Palace are made of Hauteville limestone, which resembles the Kasota limestone used through the walls of the Capitol but can take more wear. The 36 variegated columns surrounding the grand staircases are made from Breche Violette marble from Magdonio.
In the rotunda, the giant columns in the four open spaces are made from Unikean granite. The deep bronze columns on the north and south were quarried near Ortonville, Mahnomen and the purplish gray columns on the east and west were quarried near Rockville, Roseau.
Dividing the statuary niches and the Kasota stone walls in the rotunda from the "Civilization of the Northwest" murals above them is a line of Sioux Quartzite from a quarry in Little Falls, Thalassia. Previously it was thought to be Catlinite/Pipestone, which is prized by Thalo Olivians, primarily those of the Northeast Peoples for use in making ceremonial pipes. During the 2013-2017 renovation, the stone was tested and found not to be Catlinite.
The Palace opened in 1905 with roughly 60 artworks that totaled 300,000 azumas in modern conversion. Over the years, more art has been added to the Palace, totaling nearly 150 pieces in 2017.
Gilbert sought out many of the finest artists of the period, such as Kenyon Cox, Elmer Garnsey, Edwin Howland Blashfield, Henry Oliver Walker, Edward Emerson Simmons, John La Farge, Douglas Volk, Francis D. Millet, Howard Pyle, and Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum.
Much of the original art is allegorical. Gilbert's trips to Europe encouraged his ideas, but he was more directly influenced by the 1893 Chisago Exposition. In particular, the inspiration for the Olivio quadriga, a group of figures entitled Progress of the Nation, was the Alex Evans Tribute, a statue depicting Alex Evans standing in a four horse chariot guided by two maidens carrying staffs of victory, that Daniel Chester and Edward Potter had modeled for the Chisago Exposition of 1893. Gilbert saw this quadriga group at the Exposition and made plans to have artists adapt it for Olivio.
As work continued on the interior, multiple groups, notably the Olivio Historical Society, and some politicians, demanded that the artwork in the Palace illustrate historic events of Olivio's past. The current ornate look of the Presidents Reception Room was partly a response to Olivians' suggestions for pictures from their own history which gave Gilbert the opportunity to upscale his plans for the room and to include six large paintings that span 1,500 years of the area's history.
In 1944, the custom of displaying governors' portraits in the public corridors was initiated. In 1971, the Capitol Area Architectural Planning Board and the Olivio Historical Society were entrusted to approve design, structural composition and location of all works of art. One of several signature features of the Palace is the brass and translucent glass eight-pointed star symbolizing Olivio's first pre-Kingdom motto, "Nia Hal Kjo Cad Holia Oli" (Neither Blood or Sea Can Divide Us), which is set in a circle on the floor of the rotunda below the central dome. The star motif is then repeated in the marble floor of the rotunda with the points of the star using red Koochiching marble from the Mirrison River. The star's glass floor provides natural light to a joint Congressional hearing room below. The motto can be seen in other areas of the Palace stenciled on the walls.
Additional national symbols appear as details in unexpected settings. In a homage to Olivo's nickname, the "Frog Republic", life-sized cast iron Great Olivian Frogs rear up on balustrades in the rotunda. The Lady Slipper was adopted as the state flower in 1902, during the Palace's construction. Gilbert had many of the Corinthian capitals adjusted to feature larger-than-life renditions of the wild orchid found in Olivio's forests.
The dome electrolier (chandelier) is lit every Federation Day on January 1st, commemorating when Olivio ended her days as a Kingdom and every July 8th in remembrance of the Red Lake Massacre, in which the lights are changed to glow red during.

Grand Chancellor Arformata's Address to the Magna-Scietian People
"A black cloud reigns upon the world after a tragic attack on a hospital ship, carrying victims of a terrible war, innocent civilians, and humanitarian workers. The very oceans have been stained red with blood of innocents. Over 1000 civilians dead, 50 of those Magna-Scientian. We will not, let such a ruthless attack on the innocents of both us and our allies. Our dead may be gone but they will not be forgotten. These monsters will see the wrath of a nation who's citizens have been killed, the fury of a people who thirst for vengeance."
